18. Approval Talk

MacCready POV

I woke up, it was still dark but I could feel my eyes open.

I tried looking around but just lifting my neck hurt-

I grunted in pain and a light from a room turned on,

(Y/N) came out, she was wearing her vault suit but without her armour and her boots were off,

"Hey hey- dont move too much. You really got banged up back there."

She came over and helped me sit up, once I was leaning against the couch she placed her hand on my head just feeling my temperature but I enjoyed the touch and leaned into it.

"...what happened?"

I asked, my voice coming out all gross.
She sighed, frowning.

"Well Preston and the others came and saved us... and then you passed out from your wounds..."

She took her hand away and used her hands to take my shaking ones in,

"...RJ what happened up there? What did you say to them?"

I looked her in the eyes, her bright eyes starring back into my blue ones with concern.

"...ok ok fine."

I thought back to Winlock and Barnes keeping me in their study...

"RJ we all know that you could live a hundred lives and not deserve the girl just outside this door-"

Winlock pointed at the shut metal door,

"-so make this easier for her and give us everything you have. And make sure we never see you in the Commonwealth again..."

I growled at him, spitting blood out and onto the floor as the men behind me kept me from running for the door.

"As if! Shes tough, she can take care of you lot-"

Barnes came up behind me and grabbed my jaw, shoving his pistol under my chin,

"Oh why don't we find out just how tough she is?"

My eyes widened-

"NO- YOU-"

He let go of my jaw with a final clench if his fist and strutted out the door,

I struggled in the chair but the men behind me had their hands on my shoulders and the ropes tied around my chest and arms didnt help.

Winlock was calm and even looked a little smug as Barnes came back into the room with a girl gunner carrying a completely unconscious (Y/N) in her arms,

I pulled against the ropes as the gunner dropped her onto the floor, she didnt even flinch.

"(Y/N)! Can you hear me? Ugh! What did you do!?"

I screamed at Winlock and walked around his desk and gave me a good swing in the face,

I could feel my lip start to bleed and there would definantly be a bruise on my eye after that.

I spat at the floor again as my eye automatically closed up,

Winlock looked at (Y/N) on the floor then back to me,

"...you will leave. And you will never come back our she gets much worse then you deserve."

I looked at (Y/N) who was still on her back on the floor, her one arm crossed over her stomach the other laying beside her head.
