Comfy

Eli laughs even though he'd just been whacked on the head. "Okay... I promise not to break anything... for now."

Reaching over, he grabs the remote control, leaving his head in Ryan's lap just to see how long it would take for her to throw him off. "How should I know what movie it is? I just know something's on. If it ends up being too cheesy, we can at least pop some popcorn and enjoy it anyway."


Leo closes his eyes and shakes his head. "I don't think you could outstay your welcome even if you tried, Cassy." He pats her arm. "It just isn't in you."

Rubbing his eyes, he yawns again before looking back up at Cassy. "If you don't wanna go, you don't have to. Really. Your company has been nice." It wasn't just him being sick that made him say it. Cassy really had made the day more bearable. He'd never have asked her to come, first because he wouldn't want to put her out, and two, because the whole "just friends" thing was just still a bit awkward at the moment. But she'd come all on her own... she'd fed him, nursed him and kept him company. If she was comfortable here, he wouldn't ask her to leave.

Leo searches her gaze for just a moment. How lonely she must feel. He'd been feeling sorry for his own self after not having Ryan anymore. But Cassy had had even more with Steve, so in a way, her loss had probably been greater. He wouldn't want to go home to an empty apartment either. He knew Steve hadn't lived with her, but he did know they'd spent an awful lot of time together. How quiet her place must seem to her.

"The couch is comfy," he adds. "I mean if... if you really didn't wanna go."
