There is a call in Another Story that Ray if we wouldn't mind, he may set a computer the room and stay with us. Can I ask for a request with that ? Thank you so much ^^
He did it in secret. It was the only way to get away with it. He had to be very cautious. Ray didn't tell anyone what he was doing. It was late enough at night that nobody could say anything to stop him. He just had to make the point of going back in the morning. The believers had to keep an eye on him sometimes and he didn't want to take any chances. It was just—
He wanted to spend all his time with you but he had to be mindful of when he did it and how much time that he spent with you. The Savior wouldn't have minded if he was making more progress or if the RFA was confirmed to be coming one by one, but he wasn't to that point quite yet and he had to stay strong on his work. He had to keep going if he waned to get anything done.
Still, he didn't want to neglect you. There was a fine line with being with you and doing his work. He had to do both... he prayed that she understood this fact because he couldn't have you wanting to leave or go to the RFA. He had to watch both things that understand what the limit was and what the rest was. So, he sat down by your bedside to work.
You needed to get some sleep, but he was going to sit there as long as he could. His fingers continued to clack against the keys as he'd finished another set. He could feel your eyes watching him since you were rolled over in bed. He could see that you were struggling to stay awake from the corner of his eye. As much as he loved spending time with you in the waking hours, he couldn't have you exhausted in the morning.
He briefly paused what he was doing and turned to face you. He saw that your blanket had fallen as he returned it over your shoulder as softly as he could. Ray brushed the hair from your face and felt his heart sputter as you smiled at him. It was almost like you didn't even need words to express what you were thinking and feeling. It was a... well, it felt like you were spiritually connected.
"Please rest soon," he reminded you.
"Only when you get into bed, too," you replied.
Heat stained his cheeks as you mentioned that. He had to shake his head. "I need to get more work done, I'm sorry. I... I may rest with you once I finish... I... I can wake you up when I do...? I don't want you to stay up and wait for me... it could be another hour... maybe even two at this rate."
You smiled, "I can wait, I promise."
Ray wasn't sure about that. But, it motivated him to focus on his work and get it done as best he could.
It actually helped him to know that you were right by his side. He felt as if he could get things done knowing that he didn't need to fear someone coming to take you away from him. He didn't have to fret thinking about someone walking into Mint Eye and convincing you to go away with them forever and leave Ray behind.
That was always a fear of his, but if he was with you... you were safe. That took away so much stress. By the time that he had done what he needed to do, you had surely already dozed off in bed. He didn’t mind that. He quietly crept to the other side after kicking off his shows so that he can lay next to you. He didn’t want to invade your personal space but he appreciated your offer nonetheless.
So, he found himself on his back, staring at the ceiling, and listening to your breathing as he closed his eyes.
