"i don't give a shit." may fernsby cursed back at john murphy, clearly unsympathetic of his pain. the two were in the rocket, and may had much better equipment in order to deal with the shock collar around his neck, only problem was, john wouldn't stop moving.
murphy huffed, and looked away, feeling a bit pained that may used to look at him with such love, and spoke with such kindness. now, she resented him for what he had done, and in honesty, he didn't blame her. "wow, you must really hate me, huh?"
may glanced at him for a moment, before continuing to work on the shock collar. "i don't know, do i?" she didn't know if she were saying that to just john, or herself too. she didn't know if she hated him, as she knew she would always be in love with him, no matter what.
"if i hated you, i wouldn't be trying to help you, right now." may stated matter of factly, finally coming to a conclusion of how she felt, "you know why i act like this around you, don't be stupid, john." she was never the type to lie around him, as she was always comfortable in his presence. for some reason now, she still felt that.
"you know after all of these years, even after we first met, you've never called me murphy." murphy pointed out, actually finding it cute that the woman never in fact did call him by his last name, "it's always been john."
may sucked in a breath, trying not to burst out into tears right in front of him. she didn't know why, but murphy was feeling nostalgic on this particular night. "just stop."
silence began to survey around the two after may's demand. murphy truly didn't mean to prod, but he wanted answers now that they were alone, "is she still mine?"
knowing who he was talking about, may sighed, and dropped the wrench to her side, and staring deeply at murphy. they raised nini together, she considered john a father. the woman knew that she couldn't possibly keep nini away from murphy forever, she was just protective, "yes." she breathed out, "she is. i just got protective back in the cave you riled me up—."
may was interrupted by murphy cutting her off, "i know." he admitted, "i shouldn't have, i'm sorry." he sucked in a nervous breath, "and i'm sorry for what i did."
