He’s barely even back before she’s wrapping her arms around his neck and goes very still. Sleepy but more than anything, she’s glad he’s back. She almost considered falling back asleep but after a few seconds she pulled back, staring up into his eyes. A frown followed and she reached, patting his cheek. There isn’t much to say in regards to what she’s feeling but she does so anyway since it’s him.

It’s soft and quiet in tone, but still said with more affection than she’s used to. “I was worried.” Which, she normally wouldn’t be. He’s always came back he’s always done what he could to survive. That’s what 10 does, he came back. He promised to. 

Her eyes lowered before she tilted her head. “I didn’t sleep that well.”

THE DEAD SHIP THAT NEVER DIES //sobs

So you know what? I think the best reaction is always Box when she gets ship art. I was trying to decide which would be better--art of 10/15 or Draven/Cerise, but lbr, I’m a sucker for angst. So here we have these two dweebs. 

I love you, Box, but why must you hurt me?

"I love you." [drabble]

If she's being honest, the Subject's steered clear of bringing up the topic of love. It's a concept that, she believed, not many understood completely and she included herself in this as well. Yes, some might have an idea but it felt like they had lost touch with it after so long being tested on and then drafted into becoming killers for the government. 

Love was not an easy to understand.

Even after 10 leaned in and kissed her on the forehead, the female test subject didn't feel like she comprehended all too well. What distinguishes love from feeling incredibly fond over someone?

10 left, having a mission to attend. She could only watch as 11 followed after him, the two of them starting to chat as they left the female there. It's strange thinking that she likes being around 10. When they were young, it was as simple as the idea of him being a comfortable pillow, someone to ease the pain away.

But he was always very annoying too, back then, that is.  

'10, can you kiss me on the lips?'

She was so foolish and naive in that moment when the question had popped up. In all seriousness, though, she had wanted to know what it was like to kiss someone and if it had to be anyone, she thought she would have liked it to be him, for it to be 10. It was why she felt something warm inside when he did kiss her.

He came back, weeks later. He hadn't changed, not really, but she can see him glance at 11. That's the thing about 10, though. He always worried about his friend and it's understandable. While 15 might never be close to him, it sort of rubbed off onto her to check in with him, at least for 10's sake. Occasionally, she'd ask if she could sleep on him and, of course, 11 would tell her no or to go away. Following this, she'd ask if he was okay.

He never really answered her, but no one could say she didn't try.

10 asked her about it one time and she said because she didn't want to see him alone. That caused him to smile at her.

Then, there was always the times when she'd share a bed with him, if only to know that he was there and help her ease into a dreamless sleep that much easier. Sometimes, he'll press his lips into the crown of her head and whisper soft and gentle words. Nothing overly romantic or cheesy, just something that was very...him.

It took her a while, but one day, when they're alone, the words slip from her mouth:

"I love you."

She's not sure if the surprise from her saying it first or because these days, it's always 'what is love' in the back of their minds. He looked at her, trying to gauge her before leaning downward. 

At first, she thought he was going to kiss her but to her surprise, he touched his forehead to hers. His fingers touched her face, caressing her in a way he hadn't done before. During all of this, his eyes remain on her. 

"I love ya too."

Her hands reach up and she cupped his face. He's smiling at her and the words that follow cause that smiles of his to widen.

"My favorite thing is you."

And for the first time in a very long time, 15 smiled.

Hey. Hey. Play with me for a bit?

five times kissed- 10

send me five times kissed for a drabble about five times our muses kissed

The first kiss that happen was when she had asked him and he obliged. It wasn’t very chaste nor was it too intimate. It was somewhere in the middle and she honestly didn’t mind that kind of kiss between them. It was the first time in a long time that she felt alive, feeling a warmth that only he could provide her.

Another time it happen, they’re out on a mission. At least, that’s what she had thought. He had that habit, the one where he’s taking her out to places that he knew she would like. He thought that she needed to distance herself from the life they live as Watchdogs. He does the same with 11, but she’s pretty sure at the end of the day, 10 doesn’t lean down to kiss 11 on the head like he does with her.

One of her favorites, though, is when he’s holding her face in his hands. She has to stand on the tips of her toes just so her lips can meet his. It’s a lingering kiss, one that takes time to consume her. She doesn’t want to let go but they both have missions to get to. Such is there life as Watchdogs but she wouldn’t give it up if it meant she could stay with him.

The intimate kisses leave her gasping. Their bodies are pressed together and their breathing heavy. Soon they find a rhythm that fits them both and she asked him, like the first, to kiss her. Just like before, he obliged.

And the one that kiss surprised her and him both was when he came back from a particular long mission. She had taken him by the hand, guiding him away and the moment they’re alone, she’s pulling him into her. He barely gets a word in before she tells him quietly that she missed him. That she…cares for him. Then, before she allowed him to say anymore, she pulled him down to her and kissed him.
