#thread:kory

Kory leaned in the doorway as he watched Emery twisting in the kitchen to her own little tune. He just looked at the girl he was going to marry with a smirk. He was quite amused that she seemed beyond in her own little world. “You really should marry me.” Kory spoke up, as he watched her, he bit his lip as he knew the wedding wasn’t far off, but still. He adored this girl who wore his shirts better than he ever could. Walking up behind her he pressed his chest to her back. “I may have to arrest you though, citizens arrest for looking way to damn irresistible in my shirt.” He teased as he kissed her shoulder softly.

The seal could look the enemy in the eye and feel very little fear, but meeting his girlfriends family. Did he even bring up what he did for a living? Didn’t her family escape a regime that did what he did on a weekly basis? Kory just didn’t want her family to hate him. He had no idea what he’d do if they didn’t approve because he was crazy serious about spending his life with Alma. The girl was it for him or at least so he hoped. He of course didn’t know if Alma felt the same way but his sister told him she was crazy if she didn’t. Kory felt naked as he walked into the restaurant, they were all meeting up to have a dinner together. He had left his cap at home, and without it he felt a bit strange, also he was in a shirt that wasn’t green or tan, or bared the mark of his brother’s in arms. Spotting Alma he smiled and relaxed a bit. “Hey, angel.” He kissed her cheek once he stood by her side and gave her a smile. “Good day today?” He asked, ever since a few weeks ago the night she had with him with his ex he just wanted to keep Alma happy and have her know that she was enough for him.

Alma smiled, leaning against the kiss and closed her eyes. “Well, back in the day, it wasn’t a war zone like some countries in the middle east… there were some radical groups who used violence on both extremes, right and left, so there was a coup and people thought they were going to establish some order but… well, it only made things worse” she explained. “Some people said the United States had something to do with it since they were very against communism, you know, after the whole cold war thing going on, and used their influences… but then Jimmy Carter sent some diplomatics I believe, not that it made a difference, but my parents know a lot more than me” she admitted with a soft smile. “If you are interested, I’m sure they’ll love to tell you all about it” she chuckled softly. Alma looked up at him and cupped his face with one hand. “I love you” she said softly before pulling him into a deep but loving kiss.

“No I get it, sort of like a cold war just with crazy men wanting to dictate a country.” He told her as he nodded his head listening to the history of her families homeland. “Maybe I’ll ask your father about it,” Kory didn’t want to open any old wounds but he was interested in what they did during that time and prior at least. “I love you too.” Kory kissed her back letting his lips linger. He broke the kiss after a moment and rested his forehead against hers. “We should head back.” Kory told her wanting to check in on his father even though he was sure the old man was fine, Davis would have called him if it was anything otherwise.

He sighed when the leather bound book was taken from his hands and he saw that cute face. “You know just because you got a cute smile, and everything you say to me in Spanish is sexy doesn’t mean I am leaving his side.” Kory gave her a worn tired smile. He felt like he deserved this to sit by his father’s bedside until the end, Kory knew by the look on Alma’s face that she wasn’t taking no for an answer. So he rose from the chair and looked down at her. “where are you dragging me? I’d just like to put it on record that I am going under protest.” He tried joking a little.

“Just don’t go stealing all my tans next. I need something to wear.” He teased her a little bit. But seeing her stop in her tracks he raised his brow. “That’s generally how one has a date no? Unless you want to stay in.” Kory began to tease her because he thought she would want this, but maybe he was wrong. He thought that until she said she wanted too, he laughed softly as he walked over to her and grabbed her by his sweatshirt. “It looks good on you, better on the floor.” Kory told her, despite the fact that she said she loved  him Kory was still working towards those feelings, he didn’t let other’s in easily but he slowly was letting her in past his defenses at least. The seal spent a lot of time building those walls. But he was enjoying his time with Claire too much to let that be the driving factor they stopped seeing either.

“Don’t Claire, alright? I’m tired, I don’t want to talk about this.” He told her softly as he felt her hand on his shoulder he sighed. “I just want to leave it all over there Claire, I made mistakes on the mission, people got hurt and I got to live with that.” If he hadn’t missed his fucking shot, that’s all he kept telling himself, if he had realized that there were more combatants than they realized. They had been running blind. “I know I’m not, I’ve got all the boys, and… I’ve got you.” He turned his gaze to look up at her as he took her hand and gently pulled her to sit on his lap. “Just sit with me alright?”
