1.9: Together Again
(After all they’d been through that day, Francisco was shocked when he walked into his room that night and found Sharice sitting on his bed. But he supposed her crawling thorugh his window only proved she was really back. Luckily, Deven and Ian were staying with Mick overnight and Mark was asleep, so he didn’t have to hear any stupid comments about her being there.)
Francisco: What are you doing in here?
Reese: Habit, I guess lil Biscuit. Sorry, you said don’t call you that.
Francisco: You know you’re the only person who can use that nickname.
Reese: Thanks.
Francisco: So what’s going on?
Reese: I came back from my date and my dad was sitting there and…
Francisco: He wasn’t..
Reese: You think I would have left Courtney and Robby there if he did?
Francisco: So… what happened.
Reese: I just… It was like a bad dream, being back her just brought the unpleasant part of the past back. I needed…I don’t know… I needed… you. Can I just stay with you for a little while? I mean, I know we’re older, but is it still okay?
Francisco: Of course. It’ll always be okay. You’re my Reese.
Reese: And you’re my lil Biscuit.
(So Francisco and Sharice laid down together and took each other’s warmth for comfort. And pretended that nothing had changed. Only, everything had changed.)
