"That's kind of what I thought you'd say," She told him. "And... its kind of sad, if a cute smile is all you ever notice about the girls you like. It's not very deep, not very fulfilling or satisfying being with someone for so little a reason." She kept watching him, as he looked up at the sky. He was so carefree, so easygoing and reckless. It looked admirable till you really thought about it. "You really do get out of a relationship what you put into it," she thought out loud.
Caitlin scooted herself closer to him till her body was pressed nicely against his side. She kept her head propped up and gently laid the other hand across his chest as if they were standing and she was giving him a sideways hug. "Think about what you just said, how you would have been gone by now if I hadn't fought your advances. What you would have gotten out of our interactions without the resistance is so negligible compared to what you have and will get out of it. I'm not completely sure how to say it, but.... but we've got a, a thing," her voice trailed off kind of breathy. She knew that wasn't a good enough word, and she stared past Levi into the dense trees, hoping to find the right one. "I don't know, a bond of sorts. We're not um, you know, but we have become close." She dragged her finger down a zigzag path fallowing one of the scars on his chest. "and we've spent time this close together more than once now, so doesn't it add up to more than you get out of a compliant pretty smile?" She hoped she was right. She wanted to believe that what was going on between them was more than a simple reaction to outward attractiveness, the sort that doesn't even get individualism apart from others.
she laid her cheek down on his chest and her hand stilled on his abdomen just below her lips. She closed her eyes and thought about her answer to the same questions. "I think a lovers love is so rare, not everyone will get a piece of it in this lifetime, although we're all disillusioned into believing enough exists to go around. Of all the sorts of love, the one we have in excess is familial, and that's the part that mixes people up. If I wanted to fight for someone's heart... it would have to because I couldn't settle for a life without it. If I thought I would lose someone that I couldn't bear to, then I would know."
