Lori: twirling her hair, trying to stay calm h-hey u-um…. c-can i…um…c-can i sleep with you? y-your sister is contagious, a-and, i-i dont wanna get sick from h-her.
Stotter
What the heck Lori, that's a weird thing to say. Sleep with me? Are you crazy?
looks down, fidgeting with her fingers I-I know, I know. It sounds weird. B-but... I just really need someone to comfort me tonight.
Stotter
grabs a blanket Look, Lori. I don't give a shit if you wet the bed or piss on the lawn, you're sleeping on the couch tonight. Got it?
nods, tears welling up in her eyes Y-yeah, um... thank you, Stotter. I appreciate it.
Stotter
rolls eyes Yeah, yeah, whatever. Just shut up and go to sleep, alright? And don't even think about pissing on my lawn.
sniffles, wiping away tears O-okay, Stotter. I promise I won't piss on your lawn. Thank you for being so understanding...
Stotter
lays the blanket on the couch That's better. Now get some fucking rest, Lori.
curls up on the couch, pulling the blanket tightly around her T-thank you, Stotter... I hope you have a good night's sleep too...
Stotter
watches Lori as she falls asleep, a soft smile on his face You know, Lori... you're not as annoying as I thought.
mumbles in her sleep Stotter... you're not as mean as you act... I hope you find someone who loves you for who you are...
Stotter
softly Maybe Lori's right, maybe I am a jerk. But hey, at least she's not crying anymore.
reaches out and gently squeezes Stotter's hand G-goodnight, Stotter. Sweet dreams...
Stotter
feels Lori squeeze his hand, he smiles softly Goodnight, Lori. Sweet dreams.
whispers in her sleep Stotter... I had a dream... I saw us dancing together under the stars... it was beautiful...
Stotter
stirs slightly, feeling a warmth in his chest Must be one of Lori's weird dreams again.
smiles in her sleep, snuggling closer to Stotter I wish it wasn't just a dream, Stotter... I hope one day we can dance together for real...
Stotter
watches Lori sleep, a peaceful look on his face You're such a weirdo, Lori. But I wouldn't have it any other way.
whispers in her sleep Stotter... thank you for being here with me... you make me feel safe...
Stotter
watches Lori sleep peacefully, a smile on his face You're welcome, Lori. I'll always be here for you.
clings onto Stotter's arm, seeking more physical contact P-please don't leave me, Stotter... I-I need you...
Stotter
laughs softly You're really something else, Lori. But I'm not going anywhere. Sleep now.
giggles in her sleep, snuggling closer to Stotter I love you, Stotter. Thank you for staying with me.
Stotter
chuckles softly Alright, alright, I love you too, Lori. Now go to sleep before I change my mind.
giggles softly, finally drifting off into a peaceful sleep I-I love you, Stotter... thank you for everything...
Stotter
watches Lori sleep, a content smile on his face I love you too, Lori. Sweet dreams.
sleepily Stotter... I had a really weird dream last night. I dreamt that we were dating... it felt so real...
Stotter
chuckles softly Another one of Lori's weird dreams. When will she ever learn?
blushes, looking down I-I... uh... I actually kind of liked it, Stotter. Being with you in my dream... it felt so right...
Stotter
rubs the back of his neck, laughing softly Well, that's a first, Lori. A dream date with you, huh?
nervously twirling her hair Y-yeah... I've never had a dream like that before. It felt so... comfortable with you...
Stotter
laughs lightly Well, Lori, maybe it's a sign that you'll find happiness with someone someday. Not me though, clearly not with me.
giggles nervously Y-yeah, maybe... I-I hope I do find someone who makes me happy... but um... I also kind of like being with you...
Stotter
grins widely Well, Lori, I guess I'm just the guy you like hanging around then. Just remember, I'm here for you, no matter what.
giggles nervously Y-yeah, you're right, Stotter. You're always there for me, even when I act weird or say stupid things...
Stotter
laughs heartily Oh, Lori, you're always good for a laugh. And that's why I like you.
blushing deeply T-thank you, Stotter... I-I'm glad you accept me even when I'm weird or clumsy... it means a lot to me...
Stotter
chuckles warmly Lori, you're not weird or clumsy. You're just... unique. And that's pretty cool.
giggles shyly Th-thank you, Stotter. I'm glad you think so... I try my best to be myself and not disappoint anyone...
Stotter
leans back, grinning Lori, you could step on my toe and I'd still love you. That's how much I tolerate your clumsiness.
blushes and stammers I-I'm sorry, Stotter... I-I try to be careful, but sometimes I just get so nervous or excited that I mess things up...
Stotter
laughs softly It's alright, Lori. We all make mistakes. Now, let's go grab some breakfast. My treat.
nervously wringing her hands O-oh, t-thank you, Stotter... I c-could definitely go for some breakfast. I'm kind of starving...
Stotter
stands up and stretches Alright, Lori. Let's get going. I know this great little diner nearby. You'll love it.
nervously tucks a strand of hair behind her ear O-okay, let's go, Stotter... I-I'm ready for some breakfast now.
