'Til the End of the Line

“We should go to the beach sometime.” she offered in response. Laughing as he made a funny sound with the poke. “I’ll take you down in with one finger.” Pretending to poke him once more. Grabbing a roller and putting into the paint tray. “Look aalll you want, you can do more after we’re done.”

You think I want to ask the likes of you for help? This is my brother. I need him and he needs me. Have you ever lost the one person you care about? Please help me. I’m begging you. [her fists are clenched and she’s trembling] He’s all I have.

“Blue reminds me of the ocean. I suppose it could be sad if you think of something like tears.” she remarked. One finger raising to poke his stomach with a smile. “Maybe, if the clothes are too dirty.” Giving him a wink before turning away. “That’s for later, love. For now we shall work.”

There…there was an experiment and it zapped me and my brother somewhere. I was sent here but my brother is somewhere else. I can’t sense him. [grips his arm] I need you to help me find him.

[eyes are glowing a dull red] Get the hell off of me! [knees him in the groin before scrambling away] You–you are a Hydra agent, yes? Then you will know my brother. Where is he?

[pins him down] Try anything funny and I’ll rip your arm off– [excuse her she’s currently terrified]

Her nose had scrunched up at the light brush. Rolling her eyes with the smile remaining on her face. “Well, you’re room doesn’t have to reflect that. Alas, I will give in to your color choice.” she spoke, starting to move the few things away from the wall. “Good, if they get dirty then you can take them off.” wiggling her eyebrows at him.

Her mouth dropped a bit when he squeezed her bottom. “You’re too much.” she laughed, pulling away to walk to the containers. “Red? It’s such an angry color. But if that’s what you want, let’s get to it then. Hope you aren’t wearing anything nice.” she said, starting to pop the lid off the container. 

After doing his own hair, she moved to pull her hair into a ponytail. Taken aback by being lifted up for a kiss. “I don’t think I’m ever going to get used to that.” she chuckled. “I have red and blue paint, take your choose for the colors. Not much prep to do since the room has very little things.”

Taking her hands, she slide them into his hair. Putting it into a messy bun just like that. “Okay, Mr. Sleepyhead. Now is a time you can gain some.” she replied, before shaking her head a bit. “Certainly you like more than that? Come on, this will be fun to do together.”

Her eyebrows rose a bit, tapping the paintbrush twice against his chest after he pulled her closer. “It’s so bland in here, it would brighten your mood I imagine if we added character to it.” she spoke, pausing for a moment. “And you could do something else besides sleeping and eating.” Poking his side.

Ah, there he was, hidden underneath a pile of blankets. A surprised sound came out of her until she noticed who it was. “Bloody hell you scared me.” Bending over to push pieces of hair off his face. “I’ve decided that your room needs a fresh coat of paint. You can help, since it doesn’t look like you’re up to much.” she smiled. 

Two buckets of paint were placed onto the ground, wiping her hands against her jeans after she entered Tommy’s room. It was time to update his room, since it was completely white and plain. “Tommy, are you in here?” she asked, looking around. She swore she just saw him, either way, Alice had brought another box as a surprise for him. Something to help decorate the room.
