Wrench-Comfort Kiss

I sat alone on the sofa in the hackerspace, still reeling from Horatio's death earlier this evening.

Tears silently flowed down my cheeks as I wrapped my arms around my legs. I didn't even hear anyone come in before I feel a presence kneeling in front of me.

The scene of cigarette smoke, beer and leather fill my nose as I peek up from my arms and see Wrench looking at me from behind his mask.

I wipe my tears roughly on the back of my hand, and give a huge shot filled sniffle.

"He's gone Wrench, he's really gone" I whisper into the silence, a layer of tears threaten to fall again.

Me and Horatio were super close, he was the one that spotted me and offered for me to join DedSec, he taught me new things and made me feel like I belonged.

"I know" Wrench robotically whispers back, slowly reaching out and tucking a strand of my hair behind my ears.

I begin to silently cry again and Wrench wipes my tears away with his thumb, holding my head up close to his mask. My breath catches as it always does when I'm close to him.

"Close your eyes" He whispers to me in the darkness, I do as he says, slowly closing my eyes.

I feel his hands leave my face and feel a coldness take over, I then hear the sound of rustling and something being placed on the floor before feeling warm hands caress my face again.

"Promise me you'll keep your eyes closed" a voice whispers, a normal voice, not robotic. I gently nod, hesitant of what is about to happen.

I then feel a warm breath come towards my face before soft lips gently brush my own. I'm unsure what to do at first, before instincts take over and my hands reach out to wrap around his neck, bringing him closer to me.

Wrench is kissing me!

I hear a soft groan come from him as he holds my face in place, his hand still stroking my cheeks. After what feels like milliseconds he slows down and begins to back away.

I almost whimper at the loss of contact. I keep my eyes closed as promised and hear him put his mask back on.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know how else to make you feel better" He shyfully says before sitting back on his feet.

I sit still, shocked at what just occurred, but strangely feeling a little more comforted.

"Come on, I'll drive you home, it's late, well technically early" Wrench says before standing up and holds a hand out to me.

I silently take it and let him lead me toward the light of the doorway, leaving the darkness behind.
