"Ah.." Bunnie put her hand on his. Even if she felt what she did was right, she still felt ashamed by what she'd done. Bringing it up now.. was that even the right thing to do? "Ah promise, I ain't gonna leave you again."
He wanted to make her promise never to do anything so risky, never sacrifice her happiness for his sake - but he couldn't bring himself to reword it. Not now, at least.
She nodded quickly in spite of a whimper escaping her throat. He always knew just the right thing to say to make her feel better in these kinds of situations..
After a moment taken to collect herself, Bunnie was able to give a small smile. "Now. You need to get some rest." He would only be able to get out of his bed if he took the proper amount of rest. "Go to sleep now, Darlin'. Ah'll be right here waitin' for you for when you wake up. Ah promise."
He had one more romantic gesture left him in before exhaustion wore out. He lifted her hand, kissed each of the knuckles, and then laid it on his chest, as if to make sure she wasn't leaving. He didn't want to doubt her - loathed himself at the very idea - but she had left once. All it took was the once.
He closed his eyes, and started to take deep, steady breaths. "... T'ank you, Bunnie. For... everything."

"T'ank you." He murmured, entwining their fingers in the open spaces, a thumb rubbing side to side. "My sweet chéri... I will not allow anyone, especially myself, to make you suffer again."
