Red Wolf

“Shame, I was hoping I could give her full custody of the name.” Tilting her head a little, she twitched her nose, “I would have liked to do it first, but if I remember correctly, I’ve already gotten my claws into you, so it’s fine.” Maria actually laughed out loud at that comment, “Of course you’re an idiot, you have been since the day that I met you, you’re male.” Trying her best to forget about her past, Maria refused to respond to the man, she instead remained quiet and just lay there, she knew he was right but it didn’t make it any nicer to think about. Smacking him over the top of his head, she shook her own a little, “As I said, the fridge is there, go ahead and make one, if you think you can actually get up without falling onto me.” Wriggling a little, she sighed loudly, “as it seems I’m going to be stuck here for a while, I’m going to take my uniform off, it’s far too hot in here for this outfit, it’s not like you haven’t seen me wearing less anyway.”

Luke smirked at her, he knew Maria didn't like the nickname and it was pretty much the biggest reason why he used it so much. "You got your claws into me... I got way more into you though" He chuckled. He rolled his eyes at her comment "Just because I'm a male doesn't mean I'm stupid" he said frowning "I've met plenty of smart men and stupid women. The gender has nothing to do with that." Luke sat down at her comment "I can" he said waiting for a little before finally standing up only wavering a little before slowly walking towards the fridge "Want something?" He asked not really waiting for an answer as he pulled out a container and placed it on the microwave and turned around as he waited for it to be done and walked towards her slapping softly her hands away and taking the zipper of her uniform on his good hand and pulling it down slowly following it with his eyes as it revealed more of her skin. Luke unbuckled her utility belt and let it fall to the floor "You can take it from here" He said as the microwave beeped and he leaned forward to kiss her neck. He used his good arm to serve the foor on two different plates and handed one to her taking the other for him and walking back to the bed to sit on it he frowned at it because he hated having only one functional arm for the moment. "It's called Veal Orloff, Russian" he explained as he did his best to eat with one arm.

“Good for her,” she scoffed, lifting her hand up to pull her hair from it’s bun, it was getting rather uncomfortable, she knew he was just trying to get a reaction from her, but she wasn’t going to complain about him using that nickname on someone else, it might mean that he’d stop using it on her. “I’m afraid that’s not possible, I’ve been wanting to knock you down for a while now, it looks like someone did it for me.” Pointing to the fridge in his room, she looked directly at him, “the fridge is there, the bed is here, as long as you’re not an idiot, I’m sure you’ll survive.” Shaking her head a little, she refused to look the man in the eyes, “It doesn’t matter, it was a long time ago,” and it was, but she still thought about it everyday, it had scarred her and had contributed a lot to the way she was today.

"Don't act like you don't enjoy it Agent Hottie" He said with a teasing smirk. "Don't worry, it's just yours" Luke added with a chuckle. "I went down voluntary with you... Though being the overachiever I'm sure it's devasting to know someone got to do it first" He couldn't help but add "I'm never an idiot" He replied though by now they both know they bickered for the sake of bickering, it kept them from any kind of real talk they sure needed to do. "Survival is part of the job" He added as an after thought because he knew sometimes it was just his survival skills that kept him alive, survival was a lot like winning for him, letting an enemy kill him was losing a game and he hated losing more than anything. "People die everyday, in our line of work is just more often..." He trailed off because he wasn't very good at comforting or sympathizing, there were two kind of deaths for him, those of his brother in arms that needed to be avenged to honor them and those that were casualties needed for the greater good of the mission and he rarely ever dwelled on them. "Make me a sandwich" He joked said after a moment of silence where he stayed in his position with his eyes closed, he knew the American joke would piss the woman off and he'd probably get punched but it'd at least change the subject.

Kissing him back, her resolve almost wavered, her mind was still running at a mile a minute, it was getting harder to stop herself from running, but the kiss seemed to have calmed her a little, “It’s not jealously, it’s called teasing, I’m surprised you couldn’t recognise that.” Resisting the urge to laugh as he fell back down onto her, the action relieved the tension a little, watching someone so controlled lose it, made her feel a little better. A part of her wanted to comfort him, stroke his hair and make him feel better, but it was only a very small part, thankfully she could easily repress it. Rolling her eyes again, she realised just how often she did that around him, “I try not kill unless I have to, I don’t want your blood on my hands, allowing another agent to die wouldn’t look good for me.”

"I think teasing it's not your strong forth Agent Hill" Luke teased "It comes out sounding a lot like jealousy, I call her Nurse hottie" He continued with a teasing smirk at the roof as he was getting comfortable resting on her "Stop enjoying this" he added when he realized she was biting back a laugh "I came back here and I couldn't really stop the bleeding on location, I'd have cauterized it instead but I didn't have anything to work with" It wasn't anything new to him, there were a lot of battle scars marring his body that had been treated on the battle field by himself by heating up a knife or some kind of metal and pressing it to the wound, it was more painful than stiches but it was quick and effective. He raised his hand a little just to confirm the fact that he was really pale "It'll take a couple of days and food and rest to get this settled" He mumbled more to himself he wasn't really good at the whole resting thing, even when his body screamed for it his mind wouldn't settle if he was not doing something. He turned a little on his side looking up at her "Allowing another agent die?" he asked with raised eyebrows unconsciously tracing patterns on the available skin with his finger tips.

Luke yawned after and then half groaned half growled at her, it takes more than a beat up and a bullet to kill me” He know how this would wok if he did any sudden movements by word or actual movements he could get killed on his own bed by a freaked out Maria. So he decided to...

Luke smirked at Maria's comment about the nurse and leaned over her and kissed her deeply and leisurely, biting her bottom lip and pulling on it as he broke the kiss. "Your jealousy is showing, Maria" he teased and stood up, the sudden movement making him end up back on the bed, he laid back down resting his head on Maria's stomach as he waited for the dizziness to pass and sighed deeply. "It's nice for you to care though" he added with a sigh as he turned a little to smirk up at her.

Next Morning || Luke & Maria

Waking slowly, Maria hummed lightly and wriggled a little, she had only been asleep for an hour or so, while Luke was passed out she had been called away, but luckily she had managed to make it back before he had waken up. The blood loss had obviously gotten to him if she had managed to get out and get back in without him noticing, she had always been a woman of her word when possible, so she had stayed with the man, even though her mind told her to run. Allowing her eyes to finally flutter open, she suddenly remembered that Luke was lying next to her, the thought almost shocking her out of her sleepy haze, “oh, you’re alive,” she teased, letting out a small yawn, she was still half asleep so she was only half a bitch at that point.

Luke yawned after and then half groaned half growled at her, it takes more than a beat up and a bullet to kill me" He know how this would wok if he did any sudden movements by word or actual movements he could get killed on his own bed by a freaked out Maria. So he decided to let her be the one to freak out first. It was easy to deal with them than wondering if his words or actions would cause them, he wasn't one to keep his words to himself for someone else's sake. With that in mind Luke sighed deeply almost in relief and relaxed on the bed"Don't sound so thrilled, it seems I'm gonna still be around to frustrate you" he replied running his hand down to her hip and bringing her closer "Good thing I like cold otherwise I'd of died of hypothermia, you hog the covers" he mumbled.
