Showing Off - Burke

((Be gentle w/ me, this is my first Burke fic))

Burke sat beside you in the field, the sun beating down upon you both, a bottle of harsh whiskey beside him and his bowler hat resting on top of the neck; he was toying with his knives, grinning, his fingers working so expertly and effortlessly that he didn't even need to look at what he was doing, his eyes always on yours.

"See here, lass," he chuckled, extending his hand a little in order for you to see what he was doing, how poisonously skilled he was with such a weapon. "Good with me hands, ain't I?"

"Burke," your voice was filled with a curiousness that made him stop and look at you with furrowed brows. "Why are you showing off? You already got me, so it's not like you need to impress me."

"You're mine, right?" Burke waited for you to nod, and when you did, his wide grin stretched back across his features. "Need to know you can protect yourself, love."

"By showing off?" You teased, taking his bowler hat off of the whiskey and putting it on your own head, which you knew would make him laugh.

"Guess so," he shrugged, picking up the whiskey and taking a generous gulp. "Let's have me hat back." You took the hat off and gave it to him before taking your own sip of the whiskey, you cringed at how much like snake venom it tasted and wondered how Burke could ever drink such a thing.
