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.

"Seals the wound and prevents infection, too." She briefly lay her palm on his cheek. "I bought more super glue today and fastened it to the drawer so it wouldn't disappear again. Tomorrow I'll go out and get a bunch more for you. Probably a good addition to the first aid kid, considering."

This was about as close as she could get to looking into his eyes.

"Probably won't even scar." She lowered back down to her flat feet.

"You were in need of beer."

A hand covered hers in an automatic reaction to her putting her hand on his cheek. He held it there.

"Don't care about scars," he said. "Got a lot of 'em." He held up his other hand to show her the bottle of beer.

So much for backing away before things to too close and too weird. With his hand on hers she didn't really want to go anywhere anyway. And what was the worst that could happen? He could punch her? Even she knew that was unlikely.

"So I see."

She lifted back up on her toes. Barely breathing, she located a faint scar on jaw and kissed it, then dropped back to her feet again.

And prepared to bolt.

Well. He hadn't been expecting /that/. The big question was what now? He could let her go, which would probably lead to her bolting, or he could kiss her. Which could mean her probably hitting him.

Dex was always one to take risks.

He leaned down and kissed her.

When he didn't instantly let her go she opened her mouth to babble apologies only to be shut up by his lips. It was without conscious thought that she responded by kissing him back in earnest. After all of the anxiety she'd worked herself into trying not to think about this, the actual surrender was completely without stress.

She wasn't blushing or panicking when she eventually pulled back, but her eyes were very, very wide.

Yup. Totally wrong move there. "Sorry," he muttered. He stepped back and started heading for his room.

The lack of stress vanished in a blink. Then the feeling like she'd been kicked in the gut started in.

"You're sorry?" She felt her posture sink and her cheeks grow hot with that hurt-embarrassed feeling she hadn't felt since junior high. "Ok." Of course he was sorry. He'd kissed her. And now regretted it.

"You don't hafta apologize..."

He sighed, stopped and turned around. "Yer the one who wanted to stay professional and I just kissed you. Last time I checked, kissing isn't professional."

"More kisses, for starters. And you don't have to wear pants if you don't want to. I want to see what happens if we let things mix. We're not Lanterns all the time. And trying to ignore you is distracting for me." She smiled guiltily.

From one end of the galaxy to the other, women were confusing. Not that Dex had much experience dealing with them outside the ones that were given to him for winning fights.

He crossed the space between them and put a hand on her cheek. He kissed her again.

Kissing him again was better than the first time. This time instead of being in a slightly awkward position she was relaxed, one hand very gently on his chest as she kissed him back. When the kiss broke, she wrapped her arms around him, mindful of his broken ribs and hugged him.

"Thank you," she whispered.

Dex returned the hug to the best of his physical abilities, which was basically putting his arms around her. His ribs were protesting the movement, but he dealt with the pain.

"Welcome," he said quietly. Though he wasn't quite sure what he was being thanked for, but he'd go with it.

Maura moved out of his arms pretty quickly, concerned for his broken ribs, and moved away from him.

"Will you let me put a little of that muscle rub in your back and shoulders for you? I know you're stubborn and seem hell bent on just being in pain, but here on Earth we have stuff to help with that."

"I don't need it," he automatically said. A pause. "But if you're going to insist."

"If you don't want it, I'm not going to insist. I just want you to know that it's there." She smiled a little. "You want to pull your own weight around here, right? Well, I want to see you start taking care of yourself."

She paused a moment.

"...you could probably fight sooner if you did it."

Dex knew manipulation when he heard it. The corners of his mouth twitched.

"Fine," he relented.

Maura didn't like having to resort to essentially bribery for it, but she'd take the victory where she could get it and practically skipped to his room to retrieve the cream where he had abandoned it after she provided it to him.

"Sit down and take your shirt off. Please."
