Her hair is wet, damp mostly and twisted and probably tangled at the back. Her feet were bare, dangling from the edge of the bed. Her bandage was covered by the baggy t-shirt but even then she looked worn, tired. There were pools of- it was horrible. She couldn't- she could still smell it. She wanted another shower, she wanted to go home, she wanted Percy.

Head hung low, she pressed her hands to the bed and pushed. And quit pushing. Wincing, she pressed her hand against her side and looked up.

"Hey," Coraline said softly. One of these days she might stop getting into trouble, today wasn't that day.

"You know if you think about it, you just kept saying like your family's name." Coraline said breathlessly, her lips against Percy's as she went a bit well floppy on him. The adrenaline, the rush of euphoria was washing over her and she just- just wanted to lie down with him. Kissing him softly, she wrapped her arms around him before ducking her head and hiding behind her hair, pressing her face against his neck as she did. They'd... they'd had sex. Wow.

I cradled Coraline to me, feeling her heart beating against my chest. It was a good feeling. It was all a good feeling. I could see myself just flopping back in bed, with her on top of me, and falling asleep, but I didn't, as I didn't want to move, just yet. Not with her so close. Besides, I had promised her something...

Her words, though, make me chuckle. "Okay," I said. "I'll try and just say your name." I sighed as the feeling of wellbeing almost overwhelmed me. "Wow," I breathed. "We've got to do that a lot more times." I leaned back and looked at her. "That okay?"

Her side was beginning to hurt, well not beginning but making its presence known again. Leaning against Percy, she nuzzled his neck a little dazed and lazily as her fingertips traced up and down is spine. Making a soft protest of noise as he leaned back, she let her body follow his until she was pushing him down onto the bed where she could curl up on him.

"Yeah, that's okay." Coraline whispered smiling a little as he chuckled. Coraline looked at him a little incredulously. "Now?"

I must admit, I tensed up when Coraline said "Now?!" Now would kill me. And though I'd die happy, I wanted more of this. Like on the order of years. But seeing Coraline's expression match mine, I chuckled and held her close. "Not right now. Later. A little later."

I thought a moment, then added, "Though I did make you a promise, didn't I? For every time I go, you get to go twice, right?" I looked at her. "I could get to work, I suppose."

Pushing on his chest, she made a face as she squirmed a little on him. Wincing a little, she stretched before sliding off Percy and curling up against his side. It felt weird, not good but not bad now either just different. She felt different. She wondered if he felt like that too.

Pressing her cheek against his shoulder, she looked at him curiously and how he looked now. Looking up at him, she reached out to touch before letting her hands retreat away.

"That's right," Coraline said before looking at Percy and shaking her head. "Maybe later, I like it right here."

I smiled at her, and gave her a gentle kiss. "That's good," I said. "So do I."

"I feel... weird. Not weird. Just... I don't know," Coraline said making a face. She turned her head up so Percy could kiss her. "Different."

I looked at her, thoughtfully. "Different, good?"

Reaching up to touch his face, she looked at him curiously. Exploring his cheekbones, his nose, his lips with her hands curiously before she finally nodded. She... she loved him. She knew that. She knew that more than she knew most things.

"Yes Percy, different good." Coraline said, pressing her lips to his. "I don't want to lose you not ever."

I kissed her hand as it passed my lips, and I cuddled her close. "I know. And here and now, I'm not going anywhere."

I knew what she was talking about. On this island, our relationship was doomed. The best we could hope for was how Polly and Zell had disappeared together. But here and now, this moment was worth all future heartbreak.

"I want to hold onto this moment as long as possible," I whispered.
