Order

[blind-shot.livejournal.com]

When; Morning after Ran's fight
Rating; PG13
Characters; Sands (blind_shot and Ran (10thdiv_haineko)
Summary; Sands is watching over his hurt body guard pretending she needs it.
Log; just don't know when to lay down and give it a rest. Two of these people are in Ran's apartment.
Sands comes in from his smoke break, walking into the living room and cocking an ear for the woman he had been guarding over all night. She seems more tired then injured to him but still he refused to sleep in case she woke up needing him.
Except for maybe a few moments when he crawled into bed with her. Not holding her too close in case it would have woken her up, instead he lay down with one hand resting on her side.
He might have slept then some but it's so hard to tell when you're always in the dark.

He makes his way back to the bedroom to scold her for getting up.
"Rangiku, bed! Now. That's an order." He tries.

Comments

An arm pulls her back against him not letting her hide.
"Loss of control freaks me right now. You had no way of knowing. I never told you what she was like."

She sighs quietly and tries not to settle so easily against him. "Control isn't something you lose, it's something you give. It's really obvious you still don't trust me."

Blue eyes slide closed; not sleepy, just not wanting to see anything at the moment. "She's like me, but a bit more sadistic. If she wasn't, you wouldn't freak out all the damn time."

"I think I've at least made a lot of progress." Now he's getting irritated because she's right about giving up control. Sands doesn't want to admit to himself that that's what he had been doing with Aljerez. It's worse to think that he just let it happen. Proof it was his fault. His stupidity.

"She's like you. A lot more sadistic. I'm hoping you don't feel a need to stick a gun in my mouth while we screw." She touched a nerve. Now he's pissy.
But also refusing to give up this position of holding her that he worked so hard to get.

Wonderful.

She pulls away from him just enough to haul herself up to her elbow, her free hand sliding into his hair, hoping he'll calm down. "I don't use guns. You don't want me that way and we both know it."

As she talks, her fingers comb through his hair.

"I'm not your enemy. You don't have to be some badass around me. I've seen it all and I haven't been impressed by anything in over a century. She was a bitch, but so am I. All women are in one way or another. I'm not her, so quit comparing us. Please." Her warm breath ghosts over his cheek with every word.

Once she frees herself from his arm he crosses both of them over his chest trying to look the tough guy she's telling him not to. Once she makes that point he keeps them there just because stopping would draw attention and he feels stupid.
The hand in his hair is keeping him from making anything worse with some ill advised comment.

"I loved her."

Aljerez's sudden betrayal wasn't out of character. She did nothing but hurt him. He not only let her but wanted her to do it. He ignored how much he let her until now.
Though his moment of introspective mourning is short lived.
He pushes his sadness and quiet confession away from him like it never happened. Hands disappear below his waist. Then he's kicking off his pants and joining her under the blanket.
"I know you aren't. And I am a badass. And it's hard not to. You are the first woman I've been "with" since her." Quote marks included.
"Oh- I'll impress you."

Both eyebrows climb as he moves under the blanket with her, but she tries her best to keep any smart comments to herself. Instead, she moves her hand from his hair, curling it around the back of his neck, fingers tracing idle patters.

"I'm not easily impressed... "

His arm goes back over her waist as he smirks and settles down to fall asleep.
"I tend to leave an impression." He enjoys the fingers over his neck thinking about it.
"If we ever get through a night in peace I'll be plenty impressed with myself.
I do trust you, Ranguki. Don't you see that?"

[10thdiv-haineko.livejournal.com]

"No you don't." Her fingers never let up on their slow motion.

"Now shut up. I'm still tired and I need my beauty sleep."

His lip twitches up in another smile but he stays silent.
