Gordon almost fell through the door he'd just unlocked, catching himself just in time on the doorframe and stumbled wearily into the house.
He was beyond tired, he was exhausted and he was covered in alien and human blood alike.
Seriously! The heck had today even been about?
His details of getting away were more than a little bit hazy, but the main point was that he was home now…and he wouldn't have to go back there ever again, since the place was destroyed.
His stumbling movements brought him to the kitchen, where he sat down, heavily on one of the chairs at the kitchen table and rested his head on his arms.
The backdoor opening and closing made him look up.
"You will not believe the day I've had today, honey," he told the newcomer.
"Gordon, my love," Chell dropped her hand-held portal device onto the table and wiped some soot from her face with her free hand before flopping down into the chair opposite him, "do you want to hear about my day?"
Author's Note: This came about after a talk with my friend Rob, since I'm playing Portal atm and he's playing Half-Life. We got on to talking about how Aperture Science and Black Mesa exist in the same reality (GLADOS mentions 'Black Mesa' in her Still Alive song) and I mentioned something about 'how do we know Gordon and Chell aren't in some sort of relationship?'
And well, here we are.
