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.

"Well, I don't want to weird you out, make you go away, or get laughed at. And I want to know what you want."

"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."

Dex removed his shirt and sat down. "Want to remove the bandages?"

"Not yet. I'm going to start with your neck and shoulders."

Sitting behind him, this was the first clear look she'd ever really gotten a good look at him, despite the number of times she'd barged in on him mostly naked. Even when she was wrapping his ribs she didn't pay much attention to his skin, but now her fingers were acutely aware of the various scars and markings on his flesh.

It put a lot of things into perspective.

"Dex, I'm sorry for always giving you such a hard time."

"Don't worry about it," he said. "If you didn't, I'd think there was somethin' wrong."

He shrugged. "'Sides, I ain't the easiest person to deal with. I'd rather hit things than anything else."

"Well, some things I have to give you a hard time about. I'm a Rayner. It's genetic." She smiled a little as she worked the cream into his shoulders. "Is hitting really the only thing you like to do? We could spar more...provided I'm wearing my ring so you don't clobber me."

Dex wasn't ashamed of his past or anything that he'd done, but it didn't mean he liked talking about it. Though if he were to talk to anyone about it, it would be Maura. He felt comfortable enough with her.

"It's the thing I'm best at and 's not like I had a chance to do anything else," he admitted.

"Would you like to do other things? " She avoided asking him questions with details about his past. Partly because it broke her heart to hink of Dex being forced to fight. It didn't settle with her well, but she did want to know more, about what he might like, what he might want, anything she could do to help.

"Sure," he said. Don't ask him what because he honestly didn't know what there was to do. Dex had a very sheltered life so far.

"Okay." She thought about this for awhile. "Going out for pizza, that was fun, right?" She wasn't exactly the best person to be figuring out stuff to do.

"It was," Dex said. He could feel the muscle rub starting to work. It felt good for the soreness of his muscles, but of course it did nothing for his ribs. Her hands on his body didn't feel bad at all either.

She continued to massage his shoulders.

"Then we should do that again. Burgers next time, maybe. Or see a movie. You seem to like TV. Movies are like...really big TV."

"Whatever you want," he said. Dex was more than happy to let her decide what to do.

"Ok. Then we'll go to a movie later this week."

She moved on to working on his neck muscles for a long, silent few moments.

"Dex? You don't mind kissing me, do you?"
