Recovering Part 4

[will_scarlett]

They find a door somewhere near 71st street and Will steps through to the Bar. He takes the bag of clothes and gives her a long kiss before leaving her to her teammates.

Inside, he gets a sandwich and drink from Bar to take upstairs as he looks in the bag and laughs at the Hawaiian shirt.

Upstairs, he puts on the speedo which makes him feel rather naked but it made Kate speechless which is worth a lot. Contented for the moment, he settles down on the bed to eat and soon naps after he eats.

When Kate returns he's stretched out on the bed in just the speedo, a trail of red hair leading down to it and a drink and sandwich on the bedside table.

He meets her eyes with a bit more of his old fire in them,

"That was somethin' I could do, so I did it. Wasna goin' to let 'im get 'way with what 'e was doin' to ye."

Answering fire from her now as she stated bluntly, "You shouldn't have done it alone, and definitely not out back. If you were in the bar, there would have been eyewitnesses and Security to back you up!"

[will_scarlett]

"Wasna plannin' on fightin' 'im just wished to talk to 'im. Na me fault 'e was 'fraid o'me cause saw I could take ye 'way from 'im."

"You knew what he was, more than I did. You had more idea of what he could do, and you already didn't trust him. And you think you can just stroll up to him, and say stuff it without him attacking you? Come on, you should know better."

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, 'rhaps was a bit stupid but 'ad to do somethin'. Lost me temper at 'im, the way 'e was talkin' o'ye."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

She stroked his cheek, "Well, it's easy to get angry around him. Merlin once said people usually want to kill him after five minutes of meeting him. Though I guess that was demon him."

[will_scarlett]

"Just love ye so much an felt 'im takin' ye farther way from me an felt so powerless."

He shifts into her hand and hugs her, moving slightly since in the mornings his side tends to get stiff.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"He was. You were right about that. A lot of that was that spell."

She hugged him carefully back, and a kiss before resting her forehead against his,

[will_scarlett]

"Wish I 'adna been right since the whole thing's so 'ard. But ye're 'ere now though 'rhaps should talk to Doctor Crowe, since been 'nother sort o'trauma as ye'd say."

His hand moves through her hair as he leans against her more to hide a wince.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"No perhaps, I need to talk to him. So do you."

Another pointed glance, "And you can start by asking him to check your side. Or talk to Guppy."

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, we do. Its 'ealin' just slow is all."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"You got re-injured, and you're aggravating it regularly. You're getting it checked over again."

[will_scarlett]

He's not going to argue with that tone of voice,

"Aye, could just rest today."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

She knows she's right this time, and she's that stubborn.

"All right, and then ask Guppy about it."

[will_scarlett]

"Promise I will, know Doc cracked me rib 'long with 'urtin' the old injury."

He snuggles up next to hear, doing his best to hide his side with the blanket, he will talk to Guppy just not right now.

"Ok, definitely have to. Need to make sure he didn't do anything permanent."

She started to stroke his hair again.

[will_scarlett]

"Doctor Crowe looked at it right after it 'appened an I rested too."

Probably not enough but then he never does.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"Will, just get the damn checkup anyway."

[will_scarlett]

"Said I would."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"Ok, so no more excuses." She then kissed his cheek. "Want to stay up here with books and games?"

[will_scarlett]

"Might be nice, 'ave breakfast in bed?"

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"Mmm-hmm..." Another kiss, this one on his nose, and then his lips as she smiled.

[will_scarlett]

He lengthens the kiss as he pulls her closer.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

Her fingers stroked the red strands on the back of his head as she continued to kiss him.

"Love you."

[will_scarlett]

"Love ye too."

After a few more long kisses, he does get up and tries to not be too stiff as he orders them breakfast before sitting on the bed again.
