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.

	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)

	"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)

	"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)

	iron_hide 2011-05-10 12:13 pm UTC (link)
	"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)

	whosperfectnow 2011-05-11 02:19 am UTC (link)
	"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)

	"What would you really want to be different?" (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)

	iron_hide 2011-05-11 12:19 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, he's been trying to. I've refused every time. I can fix this myself...I think." Justin tells her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whosperfectnow 2011-05-11 12:21 pm UTC (link)
	"Justin, you should let him put you on the list! What...what if you can't fix it? What if you die trying? Is it the cost of the surgery? Is that the problem? Justin, I'll pay for everything. I'll do anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_hide 2011-05-12 06:27 am UTC (link)
	"Baby, it's not about money. It's...what if it doesn't work? I'll be right back in the same situation with a heart that isn't mine. Even if it /does/ work, I'd be medication for the rest of my life, like I am now." he tells her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whosperfectnow 2011-05-13 01:48 am UTC (link)
	"You would rather...die?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_hide 2011-05-14 02:29 am UTC (link)
	"I didn't say that." Justin says defensively. "I'm just saying I'd like to have /some/ kind of control over my life. I've had to live it by the terms of a weak heart since I was a kid and I feel like I'll never bee out from under it." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whosperfectnow 2011-05-14 03:00 am UTC (link)
	"That's because you won't be, not until you resolve it and by resolve I mean not dead." She shuddered a little at the thought of him and death. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_hide 2011-05-15 12:00 am UTC (link)
	"Hey, I'm not going to die, not from this. I've lived way too long to let my heart stop me now." Justin says, smiling at her. "I've got an idea in the works, but I still need to do some research." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whosperfectnow 2011-05-15 01:04 am UTC (link)
	"What sort of research? I'm pretty handy with that and I generally have more down time than you do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_hide 2011-05-15 05:23 pm UTC (link)
	"It's mostly techno-stuff, but I'll tell you that it's stuff that can only help me out." Justin grins. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You do understand that I get technology, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
