The Walking Wounded (open)
There weren't many places on Dex's body that didn't hurt. The fight had been a long and brutal one, but in the end Dex had won and had two thousand dollars for his efforts. He had taken a beating in the process and he was sure that he had some broken ribs and some broken fingers, but they were injuries he was quite familiar with. The gash on his head had stopped bleeding by the time he returned home, but the water from the shower had reopened it a bit. Thankfully Dex had discovered that super glue would seal a wound.

The heat of the shower had helped take some of the pain away for a little bit, but it returned not long after he stepped out. Bruises were already starting to form all over his body, but like everything else they would go away with time. He was used to various parts of his body being bruised and beat up. He wrapped a towel around his waist, stepped out of the bathroom and headed for his room. All he wanted to do was lay down on his bed and not move for a day or two.

Maura couldn't figure out why they were going through so much super glue. She could have sworn there was a bottle in the junk drawer, but when she went to get it it was gone. So she replaced it. And it went missing again. So this time she bought two bottles. And attached them both to the inside of the drawer so they couldn't wander away. She wasn't crazy. She knew she wasn't crazy.

It dawned on her that she'd seen Dex's shoes but not Dex. He usually appeared to give her crap about something and he hadn't this time. Weird.

"Yo, Dex..." she moved down the hall and opened his door. Then quickly closed it.

"Shit. Sorry." Someday she was going to learn that her roommate didn't understand pants.

He still had the towel wrapped around him at least. Vital parts were still covered.

"What?" he called to her, not moving from the bed. Not moving didn't hurt. At least talking didn't require moving.

"Just checking on you. You hadn't hassled me so I thought you were sick or something." She paused. Did he have bruises?

"You hassle me," he corrected. "You can come in," he said as he pulled a blanket over his waist. She was a little uptight about exposed flesh, even though his wasn't totally exposed.

One of these days she would learn to knock.

She wasn't uptight; she just had an active imagination that did not need fuel. With his permission, she opened the door.

"You have bruises. Dex...what happened?"

"Nothing happened," he said. There was something he wanted to tell her...oh right. "There's money on the dresser for you. For rent and bills. Take what you need."

Let's look at things for a moment.

-Dex didn't come out to give her a hard time.
-He was bruised.
-He wasn't moving save to talk.
-Now there was cash on the dresser for rent and bills. A lot of cash.

"Dex, I'm a lot of things but stupid isn't one of them. What's happened?" She tucked her hands into her pockets rather than cross her arms over her chest and she tried to not sound as gruff and inflexible as she generally did. This was as close to concern as she got most days.

"I told you, nothing happened," he said. He sat up a little, groaning as he moved. "This was expected."

Maura's eyebrows raised with surprise.

"You've been fighting? Willingly?"

He looked at her and shrugged. "It's what I know."

After Pizza

She was surprised at how well dinner had gone. She'd only turned purple twice more, managed to not make an idiot out of herself, and had a good time. Success!

"That was fun, Dex." She smiled once they got back to the apartment. "Thank you. I'm just going to put my shoes in my room. I'll be back."

She figured he'd probably want a beer or something and was trying to remember what was in the fridge when she turned on her bedroom light and promptly saw the other half of his cash sitting on her dresser. It hit her then that she may well have been conned with this whole dinner thing.

"OH GOD DAMNIT DEX!"

Dex blinked. "I didn't trick you. We went out for pizza. I left that in there because you didn't take it like I told you to do."

"I told you to take half of it," he growled and moved to stand before her. He looked down at her. "Next time listen to me. I'm gonna carry my own weight around here."

And she was turning colors again. With him directly in front of her she could tell how short she actually was.

And how cute he actually was. This would be a good time for her to just go invisible, but no such luck.

"Um...." she looked up at him. "You're really, really tall."

"Huh."

She shook her head.

"Anyway. About the money. Dex, really. We get a housing stipend from the Corps. It's not like you -have- to give me money. And if you want to buy beer or food, that's fine but that's a lot more money than is required." She frowned. "Is this a man-pride thing?"
