Re: [flash/gwen at the facility]
Flash wasn't expecting the slip of her fingers under his shirt and honestly it felt like it had been forever since she touched him like that. His arms around her tightened their grip and he kissed her before they had to keep talking about serious shit. Marta, and his niece and adult stuff he wasn't ready for. Flash thought he was a pretty well adjusted dude for his age and his place in the world, but worrying about kids felt like something 30 year olds should be doing. Not fucking him.
"She agreed, but I don't know how long that shit's going to last. She's acting like my mom and- I won't give you the whole speech about addicts, but it's cyclical. They'll agree, you'll get a little shit done and then they'll fall back two steps." And just talking about addiction made him antsy. His leg bounced under her a few times before he consciously had to stop it. His fingers dug between the fabric of her shirt.
"She's only going to really listen to Reaper." Flash admitted and leaned his face into her touch. "She trusts him as much as me. Probably a little more. But, Reaper doesn't give lectures and he can't talk her into getting treatment or seeing her kid again." Flash looked up at her and smirked at her offer. "She hurts your feelings. I don't want see you getting hurt."
