A late night phone call, strange panting, and a hang up. Is one way to worry your best friend.
---
"Wade!"
-
Knocking on the door.
--
"Wade?"
-
Another knock.
--
"Wade please open the door! I'm worried about you!"
-
The doorknob jiggles.
--
"Please don't make me use my key."
-
Silence.
--
"Wade I'm coming in."
-
The lock turns, the door opens, and a brunette stands startled in the doorway.
-
On the other side of the door, stands a disheveled man. Whose body is covered in scars and welts.
--
"Wade..." She breathes.
-
Wade turns away from the door and he walks away.
--
"Wade what happened?" She asks, walking through the door.
-
Wade sits on the couch.
-
She closes the door and she joins Wade.
--
"Wade look at me please." She frowns.
-
Wade looks at her with tears in his eyes.
-
"What happened this time?" She asks, wiping away his tears.
"Every night you visit me." Wade sighs.
-
She sighs.
-
"Sometimes in dreams." Wade sniffles.
-
She smiles slightly.
-
"Sometimes in nightmares." Wade chokes up.
-
She frowns.
-
"This time it was a nightmare." Wade sighs.
"Tell me about it." She says, pulling Wade over to her.
-
Wade rests his head on her shoulder, she wraps her arms around him, and she rests her head on his.
--
"I felt like I was dying." Wade whispers. "But just before I was about to pass on. You knelt down beside me, and you held me."
"Like I do every time this happens?" She asks, smiling slightly.
"No it's always different." Wade mumbles.
"Different how?" She asks.
"You always tell me-" Wade sighs.
"Told you what?" She asks, resting her hand on Wade's head.
"You loved me." Wade says.
--
"Is that why you're so upset?" She asks, pulling away.
-
Wade sits up and he looks at her.
-
"I'm sorry if I laugh. But Wade why would that upset you?" She asks confused.
"Linda look at me." Wade sternly says. "Why would you love me?"
"Why? Why?" Linda asks, scoffing slightly.
-
Wade nods.
-
"Wade I knew you before this, and I still know you now. You are an absolute cheese ball, you are so damn cute-!"
-
Wade chuckles.
-
"And you're my spirit animal!" Linda states.
"None of that has anything to do with how I look." Wade shakes his head.
"Exactly!" Linda raises her voice.
-
Wade jumps.
-
"Wade your looks aren't that important. You're still the man I remember." Linda sighs.
"Linda." Wade sighs.
"Don't you dare Wade Wilson! Your dreams are right, I love you." Linda confesses.
"Lying isn't a good look for you." Wade frowns.
"Then I'll prove it." Linda shrugs.
-
Wade looks at Linda.
-
Linda gets up to straddle Wade's lap, she cups Wade's face, and she kisses him.
-
Wade's body tenses, his hands hover over Linda's waist, and his lips melt against Linda's.
-
Linda opens her mouth to run her tongue along Wade's lip.
-
Wade opens his mouth.
-
Linda slides her tongue over Wade's.
-
Wade moans in Linda's mouth.
-
Linda giggles.
--
Wade pushes Linda back.
-
"That was cute Wade." Linda smiles.
"Well that is... One way to prove a point." Wade huffs.
"Oh I can feel how impressed you are." Linda teases.
-
Wade smiles embarrassed.
--
"Looks aren't everything Wade. I love you- I love everything about you." Linda whispers.
-
Wade smiles.
-
"Do you believe me, or do I have to prove it again?" Linda asks.
-
Wade wraps his arms around Linda's waist, he pulls her close, and he puts Linda on her back with him on top.
--
Linda giggles as she looks up at Wade.
-
"I think it's my turn to prove it." Wade smiles.
"Does that mean-?" Linda bites her lip.
"I love you too." Wade whispers.
"Aw..." Linda giggles.
-
Wade laughs.
