Cruise Comfort

Hey, honey! Does the sunset look alright?

*listener comments*

Good! That’s good. Just give me a second to stand up, and I’ll be right out there with you!

*small pause*

Yep, I can just stand up and- take a-!

(gasp)

*listener grabs*

Thanks for catching me, honey. You know how it is. The boat rocks on way and you go the other way, and-

(exhale)

{queitly}

Wow, my head hurts.

*listener questions*

No, I’m fine honey! It’s a yacht! You can’t be not fine on a yacht!

*listener denies*
Really! I’m all good. Let’s go get some crab puffs and watch the sunset.

*listener stands*

Honey, you’ve got to let go of me if we’re going anywhere. I’m fine! Let’s go! We can probably still get a massage in or something!

*listener doubts*

{firmly}

Honey, I’m fine. Let go of me.

*listener allows*

See? I am perfectly stable. Now let’s just get going while the sun’s still-!

[thump]

*listener comments*

Yes, I’ve fallen down. I…

(sigh)

I can’t keep lying, honey. I feel awful. The seasickness is really getting to me.

*listener comments*

Yes, I know we brought pills, but I’ve been burning through them all week. I’ve only got one left, and we still have a whole day of cruising tomorrow, so I’ve got to save it.

*listener questions*
Yeah, I’m just feeling really dizzy and achy. But I can power through it! I’m not going to ruin your amazing cruise getaway because I feel a little woozy! Let’s just go get some food in me and maybe stop at the hot tub, and I’ll be ready to go again!

*small pause*

Pick me up, honey. If I can just lean on you, I’ll be fine.

*listener obliges*

Now just walk me to the bow nice and slow.

(yelp)

Bridal style, honey? I guess that home gym has been paying off, hasn’t it?

{quietly}

You look so hot from this angle.

*listener answers*

Well then. Would my savior like to carry me out?

*listener denies*

Wait, no? I don’t understand. What’s-!

[bed compresses]

{quietly}

Felt that one.

*small pause*

Honey, I don’t know if you know this but, the bed is not very close to the bow.

*listener speaks*

I don’t need rest, honey! We don’t have time for that! We are in the middle of an amazing experience, we can’t just throw it away because I’m a little queasy!

*listener states*

Yes, yes, my health is very important, but I’m not going to die or anything! We can march on out there with the other couples and have a great time!

*listener denies*

{whining}

No! Don’t cuddle up with me! You know I can’t resist your snuggly charms!

*listener states*

Yeah. Having your arms around me makes me feel a little more… ~anchored~, but we..!

*small pause*

I can’t let you do this. It’s our fifth year dating and you planned the most incredible anniversary activity. I won’t let myself ruin it!

*listener states*

Of course, you’d say I’m not ruining it! That’s just the polite thing to say! Objectively, I am making this worse!

*listener states*

Yes, it’s not really my fault that I get sea sick, but that doesn’t make it better!

*listener comforts*

{whining}

Peppering me with kisses will not make it better either! Come on, just… let’s go!

*listener denies*

(whine)

Fine. You’re right. I don’t think I could bring myself to stand right now, much less walk. I just… we… you’re my favorite thing in the whole world, baby. I love watching you smile, or hearing you laugh, or seeing that little thing your nose does when I tickle you.

(sigh)

I just want you to be happy. And I feel like I’m spoiling your fun.

*listener responds*

(chuckle)

{quietly mocking}

“As LoNg As I hAvE yOu, I'lL bE hApPy.”

*small pause*

Come here you… sappy, strong, stupid head.

*listener hugs*

{muffled}

You know, when I bury my head in your chest, I do feel a little better.

*listener offers*

No. You can’t give me back rubs too! I’m already being way too needy! Just let me-!

(gasp)

You are too good at finding sore spots!

*listener questions*

Yeah, I love it. And I. Love. You.

*pause*

(sigh)

Do you promise you’re not mad about me messing things up?

*listener states*

You are incredibly sweet, honey. I’m so glad I get to be with you.

*listener questions*

Yeah, I’d want to be with you forever if I could. Why?

*listener moves*

[bed decompresses]

Honey?! Where are you going? I was just getting used to you prodding my sore spots!

*listener kneels*

Sweetie, why are you kneeling? What’s-?

*speaker realizes*

Oh my god. Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! Honey, are you proposing?!

*listener proposes*

{blurt out}

I do!

Wait, that comes later. So just, yes! Definitely! I want to marry you!

*small pause*

Sweetie, this is so thoughtful! And you-.

*small pause*

Wait a second. We’re you going to propose on the bow? Did I ruin your proposal plans!

*listener assures*

No, it’s not okay, honey! You put all this effort into the perfect setting and mood and-!

(long kiss)

I love your kisses honey, but you can’t just mush my face until the bad thoughts go away. It’s not going to-!

(kiss)

Okay, maybe one more kiss and I’ll stop worrying.

(kiss)

I’m sorry for overreacting, honey. And I’m sorry for messing up your proposal. When we make it to land, I promise I’ll make it up to you.

*small pause*

Will you put the ring on my finger? I think I’m too loopy to do it myself.

*listener obliges*

It’s beautiful honey. I’m so glad you did this for me. In fact, I think your display of love has healed my seabound soul. Let’s go play shuffleboard or something.

*listener denies*

[bed compresses]

Really? Laying on me so I won’t stand? Was my little speech about the healing power of love not convincing?

*listener agrees*

I will give it to you, you are an amazing weighted blanket.

(happy sigh)

I love you, honey.

*listener responds*

I love you more.
