I had a little time to spare so I decided to have a little fun and focus on one of my favorite Fallout 4 characters. What follows is just a little blurb within some story and of course-a healthy dose of smut in the future. Hope you enjoy and let me know what you think!

It was late into the night by the time they came into view of Goodneighbor. Nina looked over at her long time friend and companion John Hancock and smiled a little weakly.

"Home stretch." She said, trying to cheer him up. Hancock just grunted and htiched his pack up on his shoulder once more.

"Better late than never I guess." He replied gruffly. Nina turned away and sighed inwardly. She had a feeling he was going to hold this grudge against her for a long time. It wasn't exactly her fault they had been nearly overrun by a pack of supermutants the other day. True it was her idea to explore that satellite array; but how was she supposed to know those bastards would have not one-but two suiciders and a collection of ravenous hounds? They had handled themselves pretty well at first-until one of those such hounds snuck up behind Hancock and nearly took his head off. If it wasn't for his quick work with his dagger that mutt might have succeeded too. In the end they had been victorious but not without suffering some pretty heavy damage themselves. Hancock had not said much to her since. She hadn't seen him this mad in a while and it was starting to annoy her.

Nina swiped the back of her hand across her forehead smearing it with blood, sweat and dirt. She was in bad need of a shower tonight. At her insistance; Hancock had created a sort of washroom in one of the empty rooms of his house that she was greatly looking forward to using. He didn't quite understand the need for such things- but Nina refused to live without one. Her long blonde hair was pulled back in a hasty ponytail and her bangs were matted to her head. She must look quite the sight: five feet four inches of filth and sweat.

They came to the gates of Goodneighbor and nodded to the guards standing watch. As they passed through Nina saw Fahrenheit just inside the gate. She was probably waiting for them - as Hancock had left her in charge and she never really liked that responsibility. She came forward and clasped arms with her friend in greeting.

"Hey Fahr- staying out of trouble?" The rough bodyguard snorted and raked a hand through her vibrant hair.

"Not if I can help it. See any action out there?" Fahr regarded her with eyebrows raised as Hancock just grunted his greetings and trudged past them towards the bar. She shot Nina a questioning look.

"He pissed off or something?" She asked her. Nina sighed and rolled her eyes.

"He is...at me..." She didn't say anything more and Fahr just nodded. " I'm gonna go get cleaned up. See you later at the Third Rail?" Nina made her way through the town towards the center. About a year or so ago she moved a few of her things into an empty room in Hancock's house. With the Institute gone that left quite a mess in the Commonwealth. She liked to be centrally located so she could make her way around easier. She had started to think of this place as home now. It was the only place she had really spent much of her time in. Hell- she didn't even spend much time in Sanctuary anymore. The people here appealed to her. It was a city of outcasts, and yet everyone in it felt like a family. She was happy here- happier than she had been in a long time.

Nina deposited her belongings in her room and made her way into the wash room. On the way there she snuck into Hancock's room and helped herself to a bottle of whiskey. She took a few swigs and carried it with her along the hall. She grabbed a few towels off the rack by the door and started peeling off her filthy gear. The shower felt phenomenal. There was no hot water of course, but the one great thing about the wasteland was that the weather never really got cold enough for her to want it. She had gotten used to taking cold showers. At this point- she was lucky to have the means for a shower at all.

Nina stood braced against the wall of the shower and let the water wash over her tired muscles. She watched the water circle around her feet in the tub and slowly drip down the drain. She knew Hancock was right to be mad- she would be too. Nina took another swig of the bottle and tried to think of what she would say to him when she saw him. He hadn't really spoken to her the whole way back, and she was a little upset about that. They had argued before- but it usually ended with them screaming at each other for an hour or so, then just getting drunk and laughing about it later. She knew she was gonna have to do some quick talking to get herself out of this one.

She finished and wrapped herself in one of the towels. Using another one, she squeezed the excess water out of her hair and bent over to twist it up onto her head. It was then she heard the door creak open behind her.

"Hey! You creeps better not be peeking!" She turned quickly expecting to see one of Hancock's guards; and was surprised to see Hancock himself standing there. She froze and for a second they both just stood where they were, neither of them saying a word.

"What?" She asked- finally breaking the silence. Hancock just shrugged and started tugging his coat off his shoulders.

"You about done? Other people might want to use this thing too." Nina just glared at him and stepped aside.

"Be my guest." She motioned towards the still dripping shower. She grabbed her bottle and nudged past him towards the door. He turned towards her as she walked through it.

"Isn't that mine?" He asked her, a touch of annoyance in his voice. She just kept walking and let the door swing closed behind her.

Nina made her way down the hall and into her room- taking the time to ensure the door was locked before she started to get dressed. She thought again about what she was going to say and decided that when he was done being an asshole- then they would talk.
