A/N: Well I got this idea while listening to grenade (by Bruno Mars) (normally I don't listen to that type of music but whatever). I don't own Leverage!
Shoot me
"I've got one bullet left. Who wants it?" Devon said in a horribly smooth voice as he pointed the gun at them.
Nate and Sophie had their hands up in the air, hostage to their latest mark. They were scared, had no idea where they were, and staring down the barrel of death.
Literally.
"Shoot me." Nate said firmly
Sophie gasped and looked at Nate and them back at Devon. "No, shoot me!"
"No, Soph. I'm not letting you sacrifice yourself"
"Nor am I!" Sophie yelled, her eyes flicking between Devon and Nate.
"I need to do this. Not you" He replied a little more cooly this time.
"No! You always watch out for our backs but you never care about your own well-fare!"
"That's not my job. My-"
"Forget the job!" Sophie yelled, her eyes glossing over with tears.
Nate sighed. "Please, if you're going to kill one of us, kill me"
"Kill me; I've lived a good life. I can end it here"
"The only reason I'm staying alive is because of you and the team. If you die I also die"
"Will you shut up!" Devon screamed, "your petty arguing is driving me nuts!"
"Kill me!" Nate and Sophie said in unison.
Devon then pulled out a knife that he must've forgotten he had. "I have a knife. Who wants to be stabbed?"
"Stab me and shoot her" Nate said quickly
"Alri-"
"You're planning my death?"
"What? No. I just want you to have a less painful death"
"So you're still planning it?" Sophie gave him a look
"You know what I'm not even gonna argue about this"
"Better not you arrogant son of a bitch" Sophie muttered under her breath.
"So, final decision?" Devon asked, holding the gun and the knife in different hands.
"Stab me" Nate said
"And shoot me" Sophie said
"Alrighty! Ladies first" Devon dropped the knife by his side and pointed the gun at Sophie. He was about two feet away from her and it was pointed exactly at her heart so the chances of not killing were about zero.
Sophie clenched her eyes shut; her stomach was in her throat, and her heart beating fast.
A loud gunshot rang through the air.
~Insert dramatic pause here~
Devon fell forward, blood pooling on the floor from the bullet hole in his chest. Nate looked up to see Eliot standing there with a gun in his hand. Immediately he dropped the gun, his eyes wide and slight crazy.
"I hate guns" He heard Eliot mutter.
Sophie still had here eyes clenched shut and Nate took a hold of her hand. Her eyes flew open and she saw Devon lying on the ground dead. Tears of happiness started pouring out of her eyes as she saw she wasn't dead. Nate pulled her into his arms, kissing her fiercely. Her nails dug in his back and she clutched onto him. Sophie felt his tongue graze over her teeth and she held back a moan.
When he pulled away he kept his lips close to hers, breath hot against Sophie's skin.
"I love you Sophie" He whispered, tears of his own slowly rolling down his face
"I love you too Nate" Sophie whispered back as she wiped the tears from his cheek.
"I can't believe we're still alive" Nate said as he choked out a sob, burying his face in the crook of her neck.
"I-I know" Sophie said, her voice wavering as more tears streamed down her face. She also buried her face into the crook of his neck, happy that they had each other.
"We need to get the hell outta here! You cry all you want in the car!" Eliot yelled at them
That's when they remembered the dead body by their feet. "Let's go"
THE END
