Changes (Justin).
Something about the couch had been annoying Tina for a few weeks. It wasn't the couch itself, that was fine and very comfortable. Justin always seemed to enjoy sprawling out on it for movie nights. What it seemed to be was that Tina didn't like where it was in the living room so, with the day to herself, she spent some time rearranging things. Tina pushed furniture around, adjusted where things were placed, even bought a couple of new throw blankets to dress things up. When she was finished she was pleased with her work and sat down to wait for Justin to come over. He practically lived there; his opinion mattered a great deal to her.

	"You can have the ice cream. I'm not feeling it tonight. But dinner and the movie sounds great to me. It's pretty much my favorite way to spend an evening you know, dinner and a movie with you here on the couch." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You do have to let me up to go get the food, you know." Tina teased him a bit before getting up. She grabs a couple of plates and the sandwiches, then comes back, settling onto the couch with him. "Promise me that you'll eat right and that you won't hide any bad news about your heart from me, okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I promise I'll do both. Both of my siblings will be with me, and my dad, too. I'll be lucky if I get near a cheeseburger without being spotted." Justin grins. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I will have to meet with your siblings and let them know to contact me if you even so much as look like you might have a cheeseburger, mister. I should probably talk with your dad, too. Provided he doesn't think I'm satan or something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He does not think you're Satan. Why would you even say that, Tina?" Justin asks, now a little worried. He's not the mind-reader here, but he knows Tina's moods. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's a small part of who you are. You can't let that be the only thing that defines you, Tina." Justin says, kissing the top of her head. "You're the most awesome girl I know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You, handsome sir, are biased." She smiles up at him. "I know you're right on some level, but at the same time my mother has quite a reputation and as far as first impressions go, parents don't always think about the value of the person in front of them. They think of their roots." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You say I'm biased like it's a bad thing." Justin laughs. "But when I look at you, I see /Tina/. Don't let anyone else make you feel like less of a person because of who your mother or father or uncle or cousin is." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tina tucked herself tightly to him and wrapped her arms around him. "I don't know if I'd still be here if there hadn't been the burrito snafu at Chipotle. I'd be lost without you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think you don't give yourself enough credit, Tina. You're one of the strongest women I know." Justin says. "I wish you would believe it, too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whosperfectnow 2011-05-09 09:56 am UTC (link)
	"I don't know how to believe it, Justin. Truth is I don't often think about myself. Other people and things have to come first. Like you." She smiles and squeezes him a bit. "Can't it be enough that you believe in me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_hide 2011-05-10 04:58 am UTC (link)
	"No, it can't, Tina. I can believe in you all I want, but if you don't believe in yourself first, then nothing I say or do will mean anything in the long run." Justin says, looking down upon her. "You really are a special woman, Tina. You need to know and understand that above all else." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whosperfectnow 2011-05-10 10:02 am UTC (link)
	Tina sighs. "Justin, being special has never gotten me anything but hurt. It's healing for me to just be...but I guess I can understand what you mean. It's going to be a long process for me. Before you..." Her voice trails off. "I love you, you know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_hide 2011-05-10 12:06 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, I know." Justin says, holding her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Please don't stop because you're moving, okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm not going to stop loving you, Tina. I promise you that, if nothing else." Justin says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She pressed her face against his chest and was very still for a long few moments as she tried not to cry. "I hear they have barbecue out there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_hide 2011-05-11 01:16 am UTC (link)
	"I hear the same thing, but I also hear that it's bad for me." Justin tells her. "So, I'll stick to healthy stuff so that I'm well when you get there." he smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good." She kisses his chest over his heart, even through his shirt. "I'm very fond of this heart." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I wish it was stronger, though. It would be nice if I could live life like everyone else." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'd like to be able to take you dancing and not have to stop to rest so often. Or to go for a picnic in the woods. I'd love to take you out to dinner and not worry if what I'm eating will have us on a trip to the hospital with you worrying most of the night." Justin says.

"I'd like to just be able to go /running/ without feeling like I might collapse after, or not worry if putting on my armor might kill me the next time I do it." Justin says.

"Those are what I'd start with."

	"Has your doctor even started talking about putting you on the transplant list?" Tina had been quietly researching this in her spare time as an option. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
