He felt his heart jump up a few notches when her hand came to rest on his neck..a gentle touch he had almost forgotten. Eyes fluttering momentarily before her hand raised, his own eyes dialating for a moment and barely perceptible as the world slowed to a crawl. She seemed to freeze as he stood there, her face not even showing anger and yet she was about to strike him..still in shock he wagered.
He contemplated moving, hell he contemplated catching her hand and kissing her..maybe that would halt the beating to come. But he did deserve it, even if only it wasn't the worst beating he had received..no that fool in China had been a pain. But it had been a simple matter once he got the electrical gauntlets out of the equation. So, what did he do?
He got slapped in the face and even left his hand out with the flowers, covering up quickly as the blows rained down upon his forearms and hands. He almost grinned a bit, because she was hilarious when she get mad and he remembered that it made her FURIOUS when he laughed about it. So, he shut up and began to raise his voice a bit..just so he could be heard.
"Hey! Calm down, Meg! This is going to solve anything! Ow! I brought those for--agh--you! Can we just talk about this?!"
He raised her phone pieces above his head, waving them as sort of a white flag..he'd always been pretty good at fixing things around the house.
