*She knew he was trying to be sweet and romantic. But it made Ruby bust out laughing, laying her head against his chest.*

You’re so cute…it’s fun to see this side of you.

Your job.. *She lifts a hand up, brushing against his face.*…is to make sure our galaxy doesn’t fall apart.

I’m just secondary to that.

Yeah…I can do ten minutes.

*She promised softly, leaning her back against his chest.*

Look at you, worrying about me..probably more than I do myself..

I mean, I could always take a break..

*Ruby mumbled, using his hand to help her up.*

…I just forgot I guess..when I sleep for so long I don’t really care…

How do you know?? You just got here!

*She argues back, finally giving up—letting the massive hand drag her along the floor.*

I slept for two days straight. Give me a break and let spend all day working!

Oop;;

She blinked a few times, realizing a massive man was pulling her.

She turned her head to look up at him, moving the welders mask up.

John?

*Ruby couldn’t help her dumb smile, reaching into her shirt.

Everyone wore tags here—she was military.

She pulled off hers, reaching around his neck and letting it sit against his chest.*

There—I know you have to leave a lot..
So I’m always with you.

The poem mentions books..

‘I’ll fetch thee books—from spotted nooks..’

So the ship library? It’s one of his favorite places..

Wait reply..

Did he want her to find him?*

*Ruby blinked a few times, looking down at the box of chocolates and leaning into his hand.*

Can you kneel down? You’re just a bit too tall..

*Oh that’s right—it was..Valentine’s Day?

Ruby yawned, looking at the box and him.*

H-huh..? For me..?

Because..you’re not in bed..

*She mumbled, looking up at him as she shivered a bit.

Maybe staying up two days straight before wasn’t a good idea.*

*Ruby didn’t even really feel him pick her up, curling up when he laid her down.

She looked up to see him not in bed with her, reaching for his bigger hand.*

…your not..afraid of getting sick are you?

*She’s quiet for a few moments, before she moves her head to look up at him.*

…Can you…walk me over to my cot?

I wanna..take a day..

..I’m not allowed days off..

*Ruby mumbled against his chest, her arms lazily draping around him.

He wasn’t moving without moving her.*
