Where we spin things off because we can.
[So they're God-knows how far underground at this point, as if being at the bottom of the ocean wasn't claustrophobic enough. Sentinels and bots all around, she's in the middle of reloading her gun when a lovely little hunk of metal tries to tazer her calf. She evades with a hop to the side, skidding on the heel of her shoe and ending up off balance with one leg up. Stumbling occurs, and of course it happens Cross' way as she whacks that magazine into her gun as the bot pursues.

She finds balance after skimming her hand across his back, shooting Sir Taze-A-Lot in the face four times. Both arms drop to her sides as she lets out a sigh, not taking note of the fact it wasn't a barrier her hand skimmed over.] I really don't like tazers. They suck.

[Inspired/ spun off of this thread.]

	[She slides closer bedside, reaching for that hand instinctively. When her fingers clasp around his, she's dully surprised, giving his hand a gentle squeeze after a beat. She shoots a troubled look to his other hand, drawing the chair closer with her foot.] How're... you feeling? [She doesn't know what else to say.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He only has one good hand, but he intends to make it count.] Apparently almost dying gives me a pass on the collar. [This hand isn't bandaged beyond his wrist, so his thumb can brush over the back of her hand, skin on skin for the first time.] I was lonely until a minute ago. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She perches on the seat of the chair so she can keep her hand in his.] I would've brought you some eats, but you're probably not allowed yet, huh? [Her other hand brushes his hair off his face.] Damn, you look like hell. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A minute ago I was good looking. [Slightly miffed, but there's only so mad he can be at a cute female visitor.] I need a good drink more than food. But try getting these stupid robots to listen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2012-03-17 01:21 am UTC (link)
	You can look like hell and still be good looking, you know. [Her fingers brush down his cheek before withdrawing.] That might be a little tricky to get for you, yeah. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rack_em_up 2012-03-17 01:24 am UTC (link)
	In that case, I feel a little like hell too. [He smiles at her though,] But it takes more than a little torture and crucifixion to do me in. [So no worrying, you.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2012-03-17 01:30 am UTC (link)
	Torture... [You will have to deal with her worrying. Because it is happening. Your world is fucked up, she hopes you know.] What happened? If I can ask. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rack_em_up 2012-03-17 01:36 am UTC (link)
	[He is silent for a beat, watching as his fingertips brush along hand.] I'd much rather go on about how good your skin feels. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Still bedridden, you're already smooth talking me. [That earns a smile.] I guess that means you're really alright. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'd be better if you crawled in here with me. [He lets go of her hand to shift over, somewhat painstakingly. He only lets a small wince show on his face, which is a remarkable show of restraint.] [He pats the empty stretch of mattress. It's more than big enough.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2012-03-17 01:56 am UTC (link)
	Hey... [She starts to tell him to stop, but he's already shifting over so she gives him a pointed look. Bad Cross, bad. Sighing, she stands up and surveys the spot before lifting the edge of the blanket.] You sure? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rack_em_up 2012-03-17 02:00 am UTC (link)
	You're going to learn to stop asking me that, one day. [He grins, settling in with his good arm stretched out. The pain of her laying on his shoulder will be well worth it.] Get in here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm not responsible if your IV disconnects or any machines go nuts. [She works her heels out of her shoes and sits on the edge of the bed-- sliding her feet under the sheet (oh hey, he's got pants on! not that catheters aren't sexy) and reluctantly laying down next to him.

Her head on his shoulder, she puts her palm gently on his chest. Shifts a little closer.] There?

	[His good arm slips around her shoulders, but he keeps the bad one at his side out of necessity.] Better. [And then leaning down to nuzzle her temple with his nose,] Is this a bad time to call in that kiss you owe me? I don't want anything held back because of the bandages.

	You're really asking me this. [It's not a no.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No pity for almost dead men? [He hears that not-quite-a-no, mmhmm.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I don't normally jump 'almost dead men' in their hospital beds.

[She shifts over, turning in more towards him and leaning up on her elbow.] Especially ones that are supposed to still be wearing their oxygen masks.

[Her lip twitches upwards, she's only letting you get away with it because you've got more than enough breath to flirt.] You won't take a kiss to the cheek either, will you.

	Is that all you want to give me? [don't try to lie, he'll see through you. And he liked that bit about jumping, too, say more about that.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't want to put you in cardiac arrest. [Definitely amused.] Strenuous activity and all that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[His fingertips lazily trail over her neck ad collarbone, over to her shoulder.] After having that collar for weeks, I think waiting any longer stands a greater risk of killing me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[And that makes her laugh, rolling her eyes ever so slightly. It succeeds however, and she gently pushes herself up a little higher and plants one hand on the other side of his head. She's careful not to put any of her weight against him, but she can't help what brushes.] Alright. [Pressing her lips to his, gentle because yes, she is holding back on account of the bandages.]

	[And that would work, except that his hand which hand been so gently sliding down her back wraps firmly around her waist, pulling her closer -- not enough to lean on him directly, but enough for a real kiss. His lips tease over hers, hopefully enticing enough to have her forget the bandages.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2012-03-17 02:57 am UTC (link)
	[She holds out for a second, but slowly sinks a little lower and relaxes to enjoy the kiss. She nips his lower lip a little, for making her admit to wanting to jump an almost dead man. And then she runs her tongue over it, lips parting, because it might as well be worth it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Cross hums against her mouth, it's been forever since he wanted to do this and he just got through with days of torture so she feels exceptionally wonderful. He'll take due advantage of those parted lips, tongue flicking over them and then curling in a distinct 'come hither' movement. He can't really lift his head, so get down here, he's not done with you yet.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ooooh, but it's pretty needmymp3 2012-03-17 03:19 am UTC (link)
	[She settles a little closer, weight still on her forearms but her lips firmer against his. Her tongue takes the hint, sliding in after his with a tilt of her head. Her hand shifts over to touch his neck, fingers splaying against it but careful of the bandages.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
