Number 23 -- Opposites
I'm doing a list of prompts and I thought this one was particularly adorable. Thought I'd share.
Leo lay reclined back on the rumpled bed, his dark eyes focused intently on the television across the room. Grace lay curled up beside him, her fingers making patterns across his chest.
"Your show almost over?" Grace asked, looking up at Leo hopefully.
"Unnh," Leo responded, his eyes not even flickering towards her.
Grace sighed obnoxiously, "No problem. Take your time. It's not like you've lavished attention upon me this whole evening or anything."
"What?"
"Nothing."
Leo turned up the television a bit.
"You ever realize how drastically different we are? Almost complete opposites, I suppose. I'm so childish and you're so adult," Grace commented. "It makes me wonder what you even see in me."
Leo grunted.
"See? Even now I'm trying to have a serious conversation with you and you're ignoring me. I'm trying to have a moment and you're ignoring it. What's that supposed to mean? I bet you don't even hear what I'm saying."
Leo turned to look at her, "What?"
Grace pouted, "It's nothing."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah."
Leo grinned at her, "Okay, Miss Emotional."
"You were paying attention to me!" Grace announced, thumping her fist against his chest, "You really suck."
Leo turned the television off, "You know, I think we're more alike than you think."
"Hm?" Grace asked, staring inquisitively at him.
"We love each other. And that's the only thing that matters."
