Henry watches intently with a furrowed brow as Mauri lifts her hand and the holographic display materializes. He’s conflicted as she explains it again. One part of him wants to inspect the metrics of each cybernetic part individually and take them apart to better understand them  (theoretically, of course, he’s not looking to dissect her like some kid’s science fair project). Empirically, it’s fascinating. However, the other part of him can’t help but worry. Human bodies are complicated, fragile machines in their base forms. He can’t help but see the potential dangers this new machinery opens up. But he isn’t about to point out what he’s sure she’s already worried over. 

A BLOOD LUST INBOX MEME.

It was a challenge and he wasn’t one to back down from a good challenge, but he was one to diffuse with humor in hopes that it decreased the likelihood of him getting slapped...

FAVOURITE SHIPS: Mauri Taylor/Henry Sturges

Try as one might, some love stories are far too great to resist—and, oh, how these two tried to resist their affections for one another. Each had their own reasons for the methods they deployed to keep the world always at arm’s length. Both knew falling in love would be their undoing, but the fall was inevitable for the technopathic mutant and the mechanical engineering vampire.

fifty ways to kiss someone. send me a 💏 and i will randomize a number in order for my muse to kiss yours... | accepting !      ↳ 22. ...in a rush of adrenaline.

     The air she was gulping down still felt like acid against her lungs, reminding her that she was alive, that they were alive. “Holy shit,” she panted and not for the first time. “Holy shit! Did that really just happen?” It took her another couple of gulps before she was able to straighten, body bent, hands resting on her knees. “Did you see me hit that creature with the branch? And you, Mauri, holy shit, you were AMAZING!” Not very many people would react in such a way to a near-death experience, and perhaps it was simply the adrenaline speaking, but Fox’s eyes glittered when she looked upon her roommate, her friend. Genuinely in awe of the power that she seemed to exhibit. “What you did with those telephone lines--I’m still not even sure I understand, but I bet that creature won’t be bothering anyone for a while.” Again, her words were punctuated by deep breaths of air.

     They had run, scrambled really, for the way back through to their world, their reality. Fox hardly saw their brightly lit world, it could’ve been the weird, grey, dust-filled one for all she knew as her focus was only on Mauri. Perhaps it always had been. Lungs still not adjusted, they nearly BURST at her next movement. She embraced her friend, holding her somewhat clammy hands on either side of Mauri’s face as she pulled her in for...for a completely unexpected kiss. Maybe it was the awe or maybe it was the adrenaline giving her the confidence for such a forward action, either way, Fox pulled away just as quickly as she had approached. Repeating her favored, “holy shit,” though this time the letters were not filled with awe, but worry.
