A loud smashing sound followed by a long stream of curse words broke the silence of the lab. Harry looked up from his laptop and saw Nikki at the opposite side of the lab clutching her hand. He frowned and got up, walking over to her he saw blood dripping down her arm and was at once concerned.

"Nikki" he said making her jump "You're hurt"

"It's fine" Nikki told him but he gently took her hand in his and raised an eyebrow

"This large piece of glass says otherwise"

Taking her other hand he lead her over to his desk and sat her down, he grabbed the first aid box and placed it on his desk. Harry gave Nikki a towel and she wiped the blood that was running down her arm. Harry gently took her injured hand in his and picked up some tweezers.

"This might hurt" he told her and she nodded, biting her lip.

Harry then gently tugged at the glass causing Nikki to whimper and try and wrench her arm out of his grip but he held it firmly but gently.

"Don't" she mumbled and tried to pull away again.

"I'm sorry Nikki, it's either I do it or we go to the hospital"

Nikki nodded and Harry glanced back down at her palm, the glass was nearly out, with a sharp tug he pulled it out causing Nikki to hiss with pain. At once Harry wrapped the towel around Nikki's hand and held it tightly to stop the bleeding.

"Are you okay?" he asked her and she smiled and nodded

"Thank you"

"I'm sorry for hurting you" he whispered, unable to tear his eyes away from her.

"Don't worry about it"

Harry broke her gaze and turned back to her hand. He unwrapped the bloody towel and started to wrap a bandage around, trying not to hurt Nikki. When he had finished he gave it a small kiss and looked up in time to see her blush.

"Be careful" he told her and she nodded

"Do I get a reward for being good?" she teased and gave Harry a small grin. He grinned back and realised her hand was still wrapped in his.

"Maybe" he nodded and leant up and kissed her, she was to shocked to respond but gasped.

"If I hurt my hand again would you repeat that?"

Harry shook his head

"No"

Nikki looked disappointed and Harry kissed her again.

"You don't have to hurt yourself for me to do it"

Nikki just grinned.
