Gwen
Gwen finished talking to Oz and went to find Mordred. She found him in the gym.
"We need to talk," she said quietly.
Mordred
"Yeah, I kinda think we do."
Mordred slammed his fist into the punching bag, knuckles already bleeding and ribs prostesting loudly.
Gwen
Gwen walked over and lay a hand on Mordred, rubbing his shoulder gently and pulling him away from the punching bag.
"Then let's talk."
She sighed.
"Mordred, Oz and I were just... it was just... it happened after I found you with Nyx."
Mordred
Mordred nodded sharply, just the once.
"Ok. And I said I was sorry bout that, Gwen. I've said it over and over and over, and I don't seem to stop paying for it..."
Gwen
"Mordred... I know... and I'm sorry that I acted like such an idiot after it."
Gwen's eyes filled with tears.
"I know this hardly makes up for it, but Oz and i were drunk and stoned at the time... and I was thinking I never wanted to see you again."
She reached out to caress his face.
"I'm so sorry, my darling."
Mordred
"I know..."
Mordred's own tears started to fall as he bowed his head.
"But it hurts, dammit! I...I...I don't know if I can talk to Oz for a while, that's for sure."
Gwen
Gwen moved closer to him and kissed his head.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, my love, my darling boy."
She wiped his tears away.
"I'm so sorry, so very sorry. I understand if you..." Gwen choked back a sob. "If you don't want to be with me..."
Mordred
Mordred wrapped his good arm around her.
"I told you...there's nothing you could do to make me not want to be with you. Make me not love you. That's part of the reason it hurts so much...because I love you so deeply. Heart, mind, soul."
Gwen
Gwen hugged him, careful not to hurt his back, his arm or his ribs. She reached up with her hand to caress his face gently, then leaned in to kiss him.
"I love you, and I will always love you. Darling boy..."
She breathed light kisses over his face.
"Are we... are we ok?"
Mordred
"I think so..."
Mordred shut his eyes for a moment.
"Nothing else you need to tell me, love?"
Gwen
Gwen moved one of his hands up to her head.
"Have a look..."
She kissed his nose.
"But there's nothing you haven't seen... and nothing you now don't know."
Mordred
"I trust you."
Mordred dropped his hand.
"I am trusting you that there's nothing I need to see."
Gwen
Gwen nodded.
"Nothing. Mordred, you're the second guy I've ever slept with, ever. You're honestly scraping the bottom of the barrel with me."
She smiled weakly.
Mordred
"No..."
Mordred kissed her gently.
"I have the best of the best."
Gwen
Gwen gave a faint smile and kissed him back.
"I love you, you know that?"
She licked at his neck.
"You wanna go back to our room or rejoin the game?"
Mordred
"Why don't we rejoin the game? I'd hate to ruin the night...and it was pretty fun."
Mordred kissed her gently.
Gwen
Gwen nodded and kissed him back, deeply.
"So lucky to have him...
She pulled away slightly.
"Shall we?" she whispered.
Mordred
"Yeah..."
Mordred smiled at her, then 'ported them both.
