"Goodnight." Sakari replies, paying no mind to Cambridge, and quickly dozes off after a really long day.

Cambridge has some difficulty sleeping. Sie feels anxious. This is understandable since sie was wisked away from Russia and Sakari is being chased by the mafia. Sie watches Sakari sleep, thinks about some things, why sie is there mostly, then goes to sleep hirself.

Sakari has always been a very heavy sleeper, though tonight, he naturally has a few things on his mind. He tosses and turns through most of the night, and eventually gives up on trying to get any sleep.
I turn over on to my side to see if Cambridge is sleeping. It doesn't look as though sie is.
"Psst..." Sakari whispers.

"Yeah...I'm still here." Sie replies. Sie hasn't been able to sleep very well either. Sie sits up.
"Got any stories?"

"Well, I already told you my best one. The one about being shot by the mafia, and having to hide away in Brazil." Sakari replies, sitting back up, his bandages now in plain sight.
"What about you?"

"I guess I have a cat story..." Cambridge replies.
"Growing up I once had this cat. It would go out at night and get into all kinds of trouble. The name of the cat was Socrates, after the philosopher. It is a common cat name actualy. But that's beside the point. Socrates would always come back all beat up from the other cats since well, frankly, I think it took too many risks and did a lot of stupid things...for a cat. I was never sure what to do. Since I didn't want to be one of those mean cat owners who kept their cat inside or scolded it too much, but on the other hand, I did care a lot. One day Socrates got hit by a car and died. It was really hard and I never reconciled what I should have done. Kept a closer eye on the cat, or what. I guess he died happier that way...since at least he was free to come and go... I don't know, what do you think?"

"Ah well, that reminds me... I think I've told you this story before, but awhile ago, not too long ago, really, I rubbed this mafia guy the wrong way, and he drove me out into the woods to kill me. And as I layed underneath the dirt and lye, my whole life flashed before my eyes. I know that's kind of a cliched thing to say, but really. I mean, I hadn't really thought about it before, my whole life that is, but now that I'm a few inches away from death, the whole meaning of life thing happened. I hate that, I never liked the notion of thinking that life had a meaning, and just as I was gasping for air and got a mouthful of soil instead, I imagined all of the stupid things I did, and all of the things I wished I had said or done. Then when I woke up in the hospital, and realized that I had a second chance, I wanted to make sure I wouldn't die like that... I didn't want to be alone, especially since there was just so much that I wanted to say, that I hadn't yet said..." Sakari says, running his hand through his hair, choking up slightly at the end.
"Did I ever tell you this story..?"

'Ah...come on now, Sakari chum. I don't really like to see you get all serious. It's a little strange. I was expecting a bunny story." Cambridge replies, trying to not be uncomfortable.
"So you almost died and don't want to be alone and had your life flash before you. Big deal. That shouldn't change anything, right?"
"Nope. So let me think of another story since yours is such a downer."
Cambridge thinks for a moment of hir story.
"I've been thinking a lot about stories. I wanted to come up with a good bunny story. Maybe there was this one that kept stealing vegetables from Farmer Brown...oh wait, I think that one already exists...okay..."
"Lysander is really great. I got a little mad at him. I was mad about you not taking things seriously, and Lysander said some crazy thing about having a party or something....where am I going with this...? Anyway..."
"Sakari...I...like you, and in a way I don't like most people. Like...in a different better way...than say my neighbor or that professor who didn't give me an extension on my research paper..."

"That's funny, I always thought you hated how I never took anything seriously... I guess that reaffirms my suspicion. And Lysander wanted to throw a party without me?? I can't believe it... I am so the life of the party." Sakari replies, incredulously.
"Well Cambridge, I have to say that I like you too... Different than say, I like that businessman on the plane whose money I took, or even Ivan who dug me out of the ground."

Cambridge sits there for a moment and thinks the whole situation is pretty awkward and ridiculous. Sie feels like sie is back in the 3rd grade and they just passed "I like you" notes for the great confession of true like.
"I guess it is getting late and maybe we can get some better sleep now that we have confessed our like. Tell me, was it like at first sight?"
"Oh nevermind, let's just go to sleep before this gets too strange."
Cambridge bends towards him, and kisses him on the cheek.

Sakari laughs, and as soon as Cambridge kisses him on the cheek, he feels like a spark has been lit.
"Ah, well... I don't really believe in like at first sight. I think it takes awhile to get to like someone." I reply, then lean in to kiss hir on the lips.

Sie closes hir eyes and puts hir hand on Sakari's shoulder. Sie kisses his lips, then a few kisses down his neck. Sie kisses the exposed skin of his shoulder, most of his torso is bandaged, and sie imagines that the majority is in a lot of pain from the burns. Sie lays him back down and snuggles beside him. "We should get some rest now. I am getting tired anyway. I think I am okay to sleep on this end by you, you know, it's pretty normalish I think. I never did it with my brother or any of the people I slept with before, but for you I think I can make an exception. Nighty night." Sie kisses his head, then rolls over onto hir side to get some sleep.

Sakari smiles, and kisses the back of hir neck.
"Goodnight, Cambridge... Sweet dreams, jelly bean." I say, feeling like this whole thing has got way too serious.

(Might want to change that to Jose. And I have you pinned, You should have no use of your legs. Also when do you usually get on Zach?)
Jose felt the kick empty out his lungs. He huffed as he stumbled back gasping.
"...I'm not letting you kill anyone, so give up!" He sturggled to say in a raspy voice
