I'm a Fool

"…fight me," I mumble from where I’m lying motionless under three different blankets with no intention of moving any time soon.

       Well, Hannah was more or less irritated now, all heated and upset. Her lackadaisical attitude had flown out the window, and the moment she felt his hand, she smacked it away, for once not enjoying a hair ruffle. She was not affectionate in the least when upset.

       "Well, good for you. You go find some romantic gay guy and I’ll go focus on becoming a lonely spinster with an ass ton of cats. Because I’m not settling for less than what I need. Okay?”

"Fine, be mad at me. I was just trying to tell you how it was. Besides, why are you on the defense about stuff like that? It's not like I said you were going to end up lonely. You're a nice and sweet girl Hannah, you'll find someone. I should know..." Never mind, not gonna go there. "Do you wanna get ice cream with me?"

       "I ask for a lot?” that sure struck a chord, "If a guy expects me to have any interest in him he sure as heck should be trying to sweep me off my feet! I’d never look twice at a pretentious asshole! In fact, I’d be disgusted with him!!"

       The more she spoke, the rougher her massage got, "Asking a male to be a polite and respectful human being is NOT asking too much! He better fricking court the HECK out of me! In fact, I’m asking for very little! The only extra I really have is good cuddling! A good cuddler with a respectable personality!!!"

"Damn, you take everything up the ass." With a groan, he stood up, slowly so that she could step off rather than fall. "I said that asking for all that in a guy today is hard. Not many guys are like that. I never said they don't exist. You just need to know where to look." Alfred ruffled Hannah's hair and leaned in so that they were eye to eye. "I'd also like all those things in a man," with a chuckle he winked.

"It’s that period of the day where I think everyone hates me. The usual for me."

"I feel you on a personal level there. I have terrible paranoia with things like that. I often think people hate me too." Just gonna continue rubbing the stranger's back.

”..I’m probably stay like this for awhile. I don’t feel too good today.”

"It's fine, take your time." Alfred rubbed the other's back to help calm them. "Wanna talk about it?"

"I do, actually."

Alfred pulled the other into a giant hug. "Well all do every one in a while."
