[Leipzig AU] good for trouble

[from_the_outside]

Busan glitters like a disco ball in the night, and no one gives them a second glance as they stroll through the fish market, Sharon in her white dress on Ross's arm, the rest of the team behind them. "Sophia," she says, warmly, and exchanges air kisses with the woman, her pink visor and plastic apron both bright. She knows to expect them, and after she pats Sharon fondly on the cheek, she nods them through.

They spread out through the casino, the team's voices low in her ear. She stays by Ross, playing the part of arm candy, applauding when he wins and consoling him when he loses.

There's no sign of Klaue yet, and the metal briefcase full of diamonds stays locked to the wrist of one of the other agents. "I'm going to get a drink," Sharon murmurs to Ross, and makes her way through the crowd to the bar. 

The martinis here are fine, but not as good as Nat's.

The corner of his mouth curves up as he fills his own glass, then sets the pitcher on the table on her side of the bed and reaches to switch glasses with her.

"There's nowhere else I'd rather be."

She beams at him and reaches up to push her mussed hair out of her face, then laughs as he switches glasses to give her more water.

"Okay," she says, simply, and puts her glass aside, then pats the open bed next to her. "Come on, soldier boy. Let's get a little downtime."

He finishes his water, leans over to kiss her, then goes around and crawls into the other side of the bed.

"Rest, baby," he murmurs. "I'm here with you."

She waits until he's crawled in between the sheets and has gotten settled, then pushes herself over to press against him, sliding one leg over his and tucking herself against his side, her arm draped over his middle.

"Stay," she murmurs, letting her eyes drift closed. "Stay with me. I don't want to wake up alone anymore."

[nerves_of_ice]

He puts his arm around her, rests his other hand over her arm on his body, and kisses her hair.

"I'm here," he murmurs. "And I'll stay. I'll be here when you wake."

"I missed you so much," she whispers, and settles her cheek a little more closely in the hollow of his shoulder.

"Don't let me sleep too long, okay?"

[nerves_of_ice]

"Okay," he promises, having already decided that however long she sleeps is how long she needs to rest and heal.

"I won't."

[from_the_outside]

"Okay."

She runs sleepy fingers over his side and muffles a yawn. "Sweet dreams, baby."

[nerves_of_ice]

"You too, sweetheart," he whispers. "You, too."
