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.

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?"

"Well, I'm not really particularly experienced with it." She very carefully started to check the tape about his ribs. "I'll redo this tomorrow if you want."

"It's fine. You're fine," he assured her. "Nothing wrong and no complaints."

"Okay."

She finished with checking his ribs, then put a very light kiss at the nape of his neck.

"All done. I can't do much for the ribs, but this should help your shoulders a bit."

"Thanks," he said with a half smile on his face. "'Preciate it."

He gave her a quick kiss and carefully pulled himself up out of the chair. "G'night."
