Chapter 3 - He Thinks Im Weak

"IT WASNT HER!" I heard a bomb go off as I walk into Jinx's area. I had the nail polish in my hands ready to do hers.

"Jinx, are you still up to doing your nails?" I said. She looked angry but stuck her hands out for me to do them. I grabbed the nail polish remover and started removing the chipped layers.

"So..." I started

"So what?" Her attitude pitched threw.

"How are you? After today..." I asked her. She paused for a second and growled.

"Silco is having SEVIKA out of all people run the next mission. She's soo uptight and wouldn't know how to do anything with that thick head of hers." Her hands flung around as I tried to keep them still.

"Jinx hun I know your a little frustrated but I need you to keep your hands still so I can do your nails."

"A LITTLE? HELL I'm so FUCKING ANGRY," Jinx grabbed a bomb and threw it over the edge- I watched as it exploded below us causing some of our ground to rumble. She pouted and gave me her hand once again. "now... he thinks I'm WEAK. I AM NOT.... Weak." She said.

"No you aren't- you made a mistake that's all, don't let it get to you too hard. Just try and take some time to yourself and make some new bombs- hm? Doesn't that sound a little fun? You can experiment with things more." I wanted Jinx to look on the better side of this time off. I know how she gets with these things. Always feeling the need to prove herself- I can't blame her though. I feel the exact same way when I mess up on things.

"Do you want to put on some music?" I asked breaking the silence.

"Can we play your favorite?"

"My favorite? Really? Uh oh yeah of course." I then put the record player in to start playing my favorite song. Usually we would play something that jinx would like to hear. I'm a little surprised she would let me pick out the music. She is very picky when it comes to music.

The rest of the hour was spent with Jinx and I jamming out to music while I paint her nails. It would irritate me whenever I got the paint on her cuticles and or on the skin. She would just laugh it off. And I would laugh with her. It's moments like these where I would really appreciate everything around me. Especially Jinx's smile, she's been through so much so it's nice to see her have a genuine smile.

"Andddd done." I say finishing off her nails, "yay or neigh?" I ask.

"Mmm big yay!" She hugged me from the side and swung into her desk area where she tinkered with her machines and bombs. Man, I don't know how she does it, anyways I better leave her alone she's had a long day.

"Heya Jinx im gonna head out rn, I'll prob get some food from the bar, want anything?"

"No im good!" She giggled.

"Hah whatever you say." And with that I leave, hopefully she doesn't try anything crazy especially with all that "he thinks im weak" talk. In all honesty I dont think Silco could ever think Jinx was weak. Speaking of Silco I should ask if he wants anything to eat at the bar. He barely comes out of that office and his appetite is basically whiskey and cigars. Not that great. He has all this talk about Jinx taking a break yet he never takes one. He needs one, but then again working constantly is the reason he is always two steps ahead.

That's one of the things I love about him- he knows what to do in situations and he prepares for them. God he was so unbelievably attractive when he pulls a stunt that no one sees coming- the shock on their face and the smirk on his. The look of 'I had this planned all along' that he gives is so evil yet so mesmerizing. 

Oh, im already at his office door! I guess thinking really does pass the time sometimes. I knock on his door twice, "Come in." I heard him say sternly.

He looked a bit pissed when I walked in but his expression softened a bit when we made eye contact.

"What might you need y/n?"

"I was wondering if you wanted any food from the bar- I noticed you haven't eaten anything, well from what I saw anyways."

"Ah that's very kind of you y/n but I'm fine."

"So you have eaten today?" I question.

"Oh, um well-"

"Im getting you something to eat."

"Y/n-"

"Can you just shut up? You talk too much sometimes.." I say jokingly. He rolled his eyes and leaned back into his chair as I went downstairs.

I came back into the office as quickly as I left. I had a ordered a bowl of stew for him.

"Here you go, and eat it up soon you don't want to have cold soup."

I placed the soup on his desk as he eyed me the whole time. That's a little nerve wracking, having eyes on me while I do simple things, it makes me feel so shaky.

"Why do shaky darling?" He asks.

"Well your kind of watching me on my every move it can be nerve wracking y'know."

"Hmm okay," he paused and looked me up and down. What the hell he better stop doing this shit to me, making me blush with the little things like this," what in your hand?" oh, I almost forgot I still had the nail polish.

"Its nail polish, I was painting Jinx's nails earlier remember?"

"Ah yes I remember."

I leaned over his desk and took out the brush and made a mark on Silcos hand with the nail polish.

"Y/n."

"Hm?"

"Why the hell did you just cover my hand in nail polish?"

"I think it gives you character."

"My hand needs character?"

"Why not?" I was trying to hold in a giggle. When me and Silco were in our teen years I would paint his nails all the time, he hated it but still let me do it every Wednesday at 1:27 in the morning. Silco groaned yet didnt try to take off the mark.

"Silco have you ever tried painting nails before?" He raised his eyebrows at me.

"No, I almost did once though- that one day a long while ago you got your new nails ruined and you had to keep repainting them because you couldn't let them dry before bumping into things. I offered to do them for you cause it was annoying to see how irritated you got having to paint on another coat- but your stubbornness wouldn't let me." His voice was cool and calm but I could tell he was reminiscing on the old times. I almost forgot about that day how the hell did he remember that?

"Hey, I'm not stubborn..." he gave me a look, "okay fine im a little stubborn." I said rolling my eyes.

He looked back at his paper work, I wanted to talk to him and to have a conversation with him a little while longer but I could see the workaholic side of him kicking in.

"Y/n why did you ask if I had done nails before?"

"Oh I was just wondering..." Did he think I was suggesting he do mine? I mean I wouldn't mind that but honestly I just wanted to ask out of curiosity.

"Alright." He went back to his paper work. I hate this sometimes, the distance between me and him. I know he is very closed off and very focused but sometimes it feels like we are in two different worlds living in two different realities.

"Well I will probably leave you to do your work, as for me I have to take a shower and get all this nasty sweat." I walked behind the desk to hug Silco from the back, he followed this by holding my arms that wrapped around his neck.

I opened the door and turned slightly inwards towards Silco, "Oh and dont forget your soup." I said sternly.

"I know, you can go now." He said softly. I just laughed a little and closed the door getting ready to take a nice long shower.
