Chapter 13

Tim looked over, and gazed upon your sleeping form. Your hair was crazy, and your clothes didn't fit right at all. But he wouldn't have it any other way, even with your crazy hair and wacky clothes he thought you were as beautiful as the shining stars above. It took him almost losing you forever to realize just how much he needed you here with him. He took this opportunity to stare at you intently, studying your features.

Even when you were injured and exhausted your (s/c) skin seemed to have a healthy glow. Every imperfection that decorated your body was just another part for Tim to admire. He took off his yellow jacket, dropping it on the floor next to the couch. He sat up, gently grabbing onto you. He pulled you down onto his chest, as slowly and gingerly as he could. He brushed away strands of hair, revealing your sleeping face.
He couldn't help but smile, tenderly petting your head. He pulled a blanket down off the top of the couch and placed it over you.

He turned off the TV and he laid there in the darkened living room. The only sounds being the occasional sounds of the old cabin settling, and your breathing. Tim laid his head back, allowing himself to rest. For the first time in a very long time he finally felt at peace. With a beautiful woman laying on his chest, and a heart full of love, Tim felt like he could take on the world. This feeling was a better high than any of the painkillers he took in the past.
He never wanted this to end, the two of you laying here together in a tranquil silence. He wanted to revel in this moment forever. He laid his head back against the arm of the sofa, and closed his eyes. This moment of peace wouldn't last forever, eventually some other disaster would happen. He or you would get hurt or separated. The anxious thoughts started to claw at him.

Whatever happens, at least in this moment he had you, and that was all he ever needed.

The sounds of chirping birds and singing bugs filled the outside air. The summer in these thick woods brought all sorts of sounds, but if you had to pick one this was your favorite. You opened your eyes, and quickly realized you were laying on Tim's chest. He had his arms wrapped around you. You couldn't help but smile, wrapping your arms around Tim's wide torso.

"So you're awake." You looked up and locked eyes with him. You quickly realized that you were talking to Masky. You yawned, and smiled warmly at him.

"Good morning Masky." He wrapped his arms around you tightly, the pressure on your tender back causing you to wince. His devious smile quickly faded and was replaced with a look of deep concern. He swiftly removed his arms from you, he must not know what happened.

"Are you okay?" You looked away, staring off sadly into the distance.

"My back got messed up pretty bad the other day, and it's still just a little tender." He tensed up, and stared at you, taking in what he just heard. He sat up, and spun you around, taking off your shirt and staring at your bandages.

"Masky!" You squealed, covering your exposed chest with your arms. He ignored you, ripping off the bandages to reveal your gruesome looking sutures. Masky didn't say anything, he stared in horror as he looked at your lacerated back. His grip on your arms tightened, as he became angrier and angrier the more he stared at your healing wounds. You slipped your shirt back on, and he turned you around to face him. He grabbed your shoulders, and stared at you with a look of pure, unadulterated, rage.

"Who did this to you...?" You were frozen with fear, you've never seen either of them this angry since you've known them. You knew Masky had a particularly short temper, but this was far more explosive than you'd ever seen him.

"Tell me who did this to you, so I can tear their limbs off and gut them like a fish." His grip on your shoulders tightened, and he pressed his forehead to yours.
