Ralph's pov

I blinked in awe at the sheer amount of scars on her upper body.
On her arm from Amunet.
On her abdomen from Abra Kadabra.
And the one I let her get.
On her back.
From Devoe.

My blood boiled seing her get hurt like that.
How could somebody hurt her?
She's perfect!

I didn't notice what I was doing until Caitlin snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Ralph?" She asked.
"Huh- yeah?" I asked.
"Your checkup is done and as much as I would love to look at your abs right now," She began sarcastically.
"I'd rather see you with a shirt on."
"Oh, right." I said awkwardly putting a shirt on.

"Hey Ralph are you okay?" She asked with a look of concern.
"No, I'm not." I honestly answered.
"Wait what's wrong?" She asked.
I kissed her shoulder.
"I love you because you're brave."
I kissed her forehead.
"I love you because you're kind."
I kissed her lips.
"I love you because your selfless."

"I love you too.
