"If you touch me again I will stab you."
                          
Cheryl pointed a finger threateningly at Veronica, glaring at her. 
                          
Veronica rolled her eyes and picked up the wet cloth Cheryl had thrown to the ground. The redhead was currently sitting on the island in Veronica's kitchen. Her arm was resting on her leg, palm up so Veronica could tend to the dark brownish red line running from Cheryl's elbow to her wrist. 
                          
Veronica washed the cloth in the sink, wringing out the excess water. She brought the cloth back over to Cheryl and gently placed it on the burn.  
                          
Cheryl hissed as the cold water hit her heated skin and jerked her arm closer to her to protect it. 
                          
"I will end you," Cheryl growled at the brunette, clutching her burnt arm tightly to her body with her other hand.
                          
"Cheryl, stop being a baby."
                          
"I'm not being a baby, I'm trying to prevent you from hurting me more!"
                          
Veronica sighed and grabbed Cheryl's bad arm, pulling it so the burn was face-up and Veronica could continue to fix it.
                          
"Bitch!" Cheryl yelled as Veronica's not-very-tender movement of her arm sent painful shock waves through her body.
                          
"We both are, that's why we make such a great couple," Veronica said. Her tone was deadpan, but her eyes were playful.
                          
Veronica pressed the cold cloth onto Cheryl's arm once again, holding her arm steady with her free hand. 
                          
"Okay, I think that's enough cold water," Veronica said, mostly to herself, as she removed the cloth and placed it on the island behind Cheryl.
                          
Veronica walked to the counter, and opened the top right hand drawer. She pulled out a first aid kit and placed it on the counter. Opening the kit, she took out a roll of gauze and medical tape.
                          
Cheryl watched as the brunette made her way back in front of her. Veronica stood there, gauze and tape in one hand, her other outstretched, as if she was waiting to be handed something. 
                          
When Cheryl didn't give her what she wanted, Veronica raised her eyebrows expectantly.
                          
"What?"
                          
"I need your arm, dumbass."
                          
Cheryl blushed slightly at her stupidity and held her arm out for Veronica. 
                          
Cheryl winced when the gauze was placed over her burn, as Veronica was not being very gentle, and putting a small amount of pressure on the burn. 
                          
"You will definitely regret putting me through all this pain, sweetheart," Cheryl said lowly through gritted teeth.
                          
"I know you love me and all but stop threatening the doctor."   Veronica said as she grabbed the tape and began securing the gauze to Cheryl's arm.

                          
"I'm Cheryl Blossom, I do whatever the hell I want." Cheryl mumbled under her breath in response.
                          
Veronica pretended not to hear that, knowing that she would end up cutting off blood circulation to Cheryl's arm if she reacted. 
                          
She'd get her back for the snide disobedient comments at some point.
