Setting: *Inside the house, Victor and Klāra sit, Facing each other, in a living room*

Victor: *quiet*

Klāra: *She glares at him.*

Victor: *Growls*

Klāra: i. Hate. You.

Victor: Guess you shouldn't have chained us together

Klāra: Wasn't my fault! *She crosses her arms.*

Victor: Oh bullcrap!

Klāra: The stupid thing attached itself to my wrist.

Victor: Sure it did..*stands up and yanks her up*

Klāra: Hey-!

Victor: *smacks her* shut up!

Klāra: What are you doing?!?

Victor: *gets a butcher knife*

Klāra: Victor!!!

Victor: There's one way to get it off...*puts the blade on his wrist next to the cuff*

Klāra: Stop!* She grabs his hand.*

Victor: Quit! I've done this before! *angered and swings*

*it misses.*

Victor: *growls frustrated and he swings it again and it cuts right through his wrist, chopping his arm off*

Klāra: *She screams.*

*His arm gushes blood and the cuff sends off an energy, reattaching his arm to his limp*

Victor: *gets dizzy*

Klāra: Oh my gosh, are you okay?! *She touches his shoulder gently and shows true concern*

Victor: *his eyes show tears but he stays quiet, for his ego's sake*

Klāra: sit down...*gets a nearby chair.*

Victor: *is in shock and suddenly passes out*

Klāra: Victor?!?*She falls to her knees beside him*

Victor: *out cold*

Klāra: *She slowly manages to get him the bedroom. She places him on the bed, concerned*

Victor: *is so build and all muscles, he doesn't even try to wake up*

Klāra: *She reaches for bucket and tries to fill it with warm water. After struggling, she does so. She unbuttons his shirt and puts her ear on his chest, listening for a heartbeat*

Victor: *has a very slow heartbeat*

Klāra: *Wetting a cloth, she dabs it on his head, nurturing*

Victor: *groans lightly and he stirs*

Klāra: *She sits beside him and rubs his hair.*

Victor: *his eyes slowly flutter open*

Klāra: *She does not notice.*

Victor: What are you-

Klāra: Oh hush.*She's stern, in a lovely way.*

Victor: *is way out of it*

Klāra: *She wipes his head with the warm water.* Isn't this what women do in the movies? Hold the man's head and wipe his face with water? *She laughs.* Nurture the man?

Victor: *chuckles* Sure darling..*blinks slowly and tries to sit up but his lightheadedness overcomes him*

Klāra: stay down...*puts her hand on his chest*

Victor: *lays back* What do you think you're doing?

Klāra: Taking care of you.

Victor: I can take care of myself.

Klāra: But isn't this what you wanted? For me, a woman, to serve my purpose to man?*She, playfully, words her sentence, whispering it to him.*

Victor: *a smile flashes across his face*

Klāra: What?

Victor: FInally accepting it, huh? Good choice *he smirks*

Klāra: You're still not allowed to touch me. *She smiles.*

Victor: Oh but you've already got my shirt off *smirks*

Klāra: yeah, okay. I'm done. *She dumps all the water on him*

Victor: *Gasps and then just laughs*

Klāra: *She rolls her eyes.*

Victor: *smiles and slowly sits up, the room spinning slightly*

Klāra: You okay?

Victor: Why do you care? *looks at her*

Klāra: I'm handcuffed to you...

Victor: *pulls her onto the sopping wet bed*

Klāra: Hey-!

Victor: *laughs as she gets all wet* How do you like that? "Cuff-Buddy"?

Klāra: *She bursts out laughing and turns on her side, facing him* Don't you ever say "Cuff-Buddy" again. *She laughs between the words*

Victor: *chuckles but his eyes are softer and nicer looking*

Klāra:*She calms her laughing and sighs*

Victor: *smiles at her*

Klāra: This is going to be hard...life from now on...

Victor: No...only if you fight against it.

Klāra: I have a life...you have a life- a family- and well, we don't mix...

Victor: Good thing our bond is real and true *smirks, sarcasm*

Klāra: funny. But seriously though...

Victor: Well until you release me, you and I are stuck like glue.

Klāra: I can't release you...we're stuck...

Victor: *looks at her* we'll find a way

Klāra: I hope so...*She looks away from him and rolls to her other side*

Victor: *loops his arm around her*

Klāra: don't touch me...

Victor: I can't help it..the cuffs are short. *he smirks*

Klāra: *She looks at him.* It has a five foot diameter...

Victor: *smiles* And?

Klāra: I'll let you get away with this. Once. Just once.

Victor: *smiles* Good choice..

*The light from the windows fades and they fall asleep fairly quickly*
