@bucketofdrugs sent: kissing your lover because you believe you're going to die.
The funny thing about knowing you were about to die, while everyone around you still had no idea of what was about to happen, was that it gave you time.
Or at least it made her feel like time had slowed down, and gave her time to look at Cooper, at her violent, protective, rude, funny, ghoul who had not only accompanied her far longer than he needed to, but had kept her safe - and yes, sometimes held her at night, even if they hadn't talked about that - and she knew she couldn't watch him die. It was the one thing she just would not accept in this hard but free life. She couldn't lose him here, she couldn't take him away from his own mission either.
But they were out of stimpacks, their temporary comrades were also pinned down, Dane and Max upstairs, the rest of the Brotherhood was late, the others who had joined them when she has asked her to pay her back for her past help were fighting the robots, so it was up to her, the only one with high enough science skills. It was up to her to get to the console, and she was never going to see Cooper again, because running away wasn't an option to her.
"Dang, this is a sticky situation," she piped up, looking at the door that would lead her to the console room. "...'Waste not', right, Coop?"
Protected by the pillar they were using as a barrier from the bullets, Lucy brought a hand to his shoulder to pull him close and pressed her lips against his. Besides him being hot, it just felt like kissing a man; a man who made her feel confusing, positive but distressing things, and Lucy took the little time she had left to allow those feelings to be there, her lips moving slowly but with the hunger of someone who wasn't going to be having a second one, and her hand gently touching the rough skin of his cheek. Enough.
She pulled back, licked her lips and gave him a wide smile, eyes sparkling with affection and unshed tears. No time to think or talk more, she used all her strength and speed to fling herself towards the door, hearing people yell for her; a few bullets did hit her, but she still kept on running and stumbling until she grabbed the console and started typing it. She didn't have the passkey to disarm the security system, and that meant that before hitting enter she had what felt like a spear go through her chest, but she still managed to press the key, and reprogram all the robots, before dropping to the ground, blood pouring from her fast.
But it was okay. Vault Tec had lost control of the town, her friends were alive... Cooper was going to stay relatively alive too. He'd know what to do without her, he'd be fine.
She wished she had kissed him sooner.

Summary:
Kakashi embarks on a mission where everything goes wrong, leaving Iruka to clean up the mess. Once all are safe and sound, will Kakashi's bombshell ruin their working relationship?
Kakashi had been observing Orochimaru for close to two years and collecting data that brought him to that evening. He practically knew the snake better than he knew himself and was ready to take him into custody all the while dismantling his organization a piece at a time. He was considering ways to apprehend Orochimaru when he heard his name called several times.
“I’m sorry. What did you say?” Kakashi asked.
“I said your earpiece transmitter has great range but can’t go through thick concrete. There’s a known bunker-like wing in the building that Orochimaru uses frequently. Do your best to avoid that area.”
“Anything else?” Kakashi inquired.
“Your weapon has been coated with a polymer resin that’ll mask all metal detectors. I have a single-use taser for you in the shape of a credit card. Shikamaru designed a scrambler that fits in a watch too.”
“You guys think of everything,” Kakashi said, “I’m glad I have you as eyes and ears, Iruka. You’re the best there is.”

I know that thematically speaking, Miri is going to go back to Rei and Kazuki. The point of the entire show is found family. But episode 10 SHATTERED my heart into a million pieces and I started crying.
And this is more incentive for Rei to kill his dad. This man is the reason why Miri had to leave, he basically took their daughter from them. Neither Kazuki or Rei are going to just roll over and let that happen. Maybe Rei would have, before Miri, but she changed him. He's going to have the strength to stand up to his dad, because to be loved is to be changed.
