A/N: If you in public....wait till you by yourself 👀😂

[Multiple Flashbacks]

I was sitting in a chair looking out the window of my room blankly.

My body was sore. The stitches in my face now taken off. The healing factor helping a great deal but the scars and other damage still prominent on my light skin among my torso and down my arms.

The door opens snapping me back into reality and I already know it's Hill. She's the one that's been coming in, bringing food or relying messages.

"I brought you some lunch, J.D." She speaks in a soft, friendly tone.

She was in Maria mode and not Commander Hill mode it sounded like.

Maria places the food on a side table but assumes that most likely it'll go uneaten. Since she's just been replacing old untouched food with fresh food.

I don't hear the door open and close again meaning Maria hasn't taken her leave yet.

"You know, there was a time when I thought I liked you better when you didn't talk. Now, I wish you would." She says and I turn my head over my right shoulder slightly.

Her footsteps are heard to be coming closer but I get up from my seat walking away to the other side of my room sitting quietly on the bed. Intertwining my hands together as I hang my head down.

"I'm not leaving until you eat something." She says making me look up but then turn away as soon as we make eye contact.

I stand up without a word and make my way to the food that was on the side table. I pick up the apple that was available taking a bite then setting it back I down. I then go to the door opening it so that Hill can leave. She comes forward and closes the door, staying on this side. I swallow what I had in my mouth and turn away annoyed.

"Wanna talk about it?" She offers.

I release a breath turning to face her to tell her to leave but when we make eye contact I stay silent. Her soft blue eyes looking into my icy ones. She takes a step forward and I stay still, swallowing thickly.

"I just want to help." She says softly maintaining her gaze.

I lick my lips and she looks down at them. Then atmosphere in the room slowly starting to change. Having no control I lean in slowly and connect her lips on mine. When I feel her start to kiss back she stops. Our lips pulling away with a soft smack.

"This is inappropriate.." She says turning her head to the side.

"Inappropriate? Or you're scared that someone will walk in?" I question huskily breaking my excruciating silence making her turn back to me.

She doesn't say anything looking at my lips before back up in my eyes. I lean again and she meets me half way but stops, stepping back.

She releases an unsteady breath and turns around towards the door.

I assume she's leaving but I'm proven wrong when I hear the door lock click and she turns back coming towards me. She wraps her arms around my neck and smashes our lips together.

It was fast, not necessarily passionate in a romantic way but in a way to burn away pent up energy.
