Tangerine is a sophisticated fruit 🍊

A misunderstanding (SMUT!)

Charlie holding his gun firmly steps into the house and shuts the door behind him. 

'Shit', Tangerine thought. 

Charlie moves over to the arm of the couch and gently touches your shoulder. He gives you a loving squeeze but never loses his gaze on Lemon and Tangerine. 

"Are you alright y/n? Did these men hurt you?", Charlie asks. His eyes gaze over your body to see if you're alright. He notices some markings and bruising. Alot on your face and neck. Charlie also sees Tangerines hand still resting on your thigh. 

"Get your bloody hand off my little angel!", Charlie demands. Tangerine lifts both hands up and slowly rises to a standing position so he is next to Lemon. 

You quickly stand up from the couch and position your body so you're standing in front of Tangerine. You want to block them, so Charlie doesn't do anything stupid. 

"Charlie! I'm okay! Listen, they found out I was tracking them, and they followed me to my apartment. They did an interrogation and I told them our mission. They're one of us now.", You try your best to explain to Charlie. 

Charlie takes a few shaky breaths. He still looks suspicious. After seeing your bruises, he isn't sure to put his weapon down quite yet. 

"Did Tangerine hurt you? You've got all these marks- I'm supposed to supervise you... When you didn't answer me, I thought he killed you. These are violent men! And you're so young and new I- I thought the worst. I tracked the chip in Frank's collar to find you...", Charlie was shaken. He thought he let you die. 

You quickly walk over to Charlie and give him a hug. This causes him to lower his weapon back into his holster. You were so happy you had a father figure like him in your life. Charlie let out a deep sigh of relief. He was so happy you were okay. 

"Look, I've gotten a little roughed up, but I got my payback don't worry. My apartment is not safe due to conflicts so we all should stay here.", you respond. 

Lemon then speaks up to ease the tension, "Hey, let's all get some sleep. We're tired and we all need to get out heads together for what might come. Charlie, You can take my room. It's a twin bed so it should be good. I volunteer to sleep on this futon out here with Frank. I'm sorry y/n but you've got to take Tangerine's bed. He has a queen. You two can share but both me and him cannot fit since it's a tad bit too small."

Charlie's head whips over to Tangerine and shakes his head. 

"If they share a room one of them has to sleep on the floor. They cannot share a bed!", Charlie protests. 

Tangerine shakes his head is disbelief and lets out a small chuckle. 

"Do you really think I'm gonna seduce her or something? I know I'm irresistible for most women but I'm pretty sure she fucking hates me.", Tangerine rebuttals. 

You like the idea of him lying next to you all night. Not only for extra protection but for other reasons... 

"Look, I'll make a pillow barrier. The assignments make sense okay. Lemons out here guarding the front and Tangerine is guarding me just in case. We have no idea what is to come if your boss found out that you know about his plans. I'll be okay... I really need some sleep so; let's all go to bed. Rekindle in the morning.", You manage to say.

You manage to take a look around Tangerine's room while he is in his bathroom. His queen bed has charcoal grey comforter and white sheets and pillows. He has a wooden dresser diagonal from the bed. You assume it's just his clothes. Next to the bed is a nightstand with a lamp. The nightstand is wooden. Everything looks too neat. There's an olive-green shag carpet before the bed on the floor. There's a closet near the door. Peaking in there's just a bunch of fancy clothes hanging up and a safe up on top of the closet shelf. You also notice some books on Marine training tactics and interrogation tactics. Your head whips over as you see the bathroom door creak open.
