Disclaimer- I don't own Cowboy Bebop (shocker)
"You sing off key" he said turning to look at her and going wide eyed, realizing who it was.
Faye choked on her own voice, and looked at him, they stayed in that uncomfortable eye lock for what seemed like hours. Finally, Spike smirked his trademark smirk, "'bout time you got here, I was beginning to think you didn't care." As he said this he internally struggled not to waver his voice, because he was in fact surprised she was there.
Faye sat their, mouth ajar, trying to think of something to say. Sure she had thought about what she would say if she ever saw him again but her idea of either slapping him till he begged her to stop, or kissing the man silly, weren't looking to good right about now.
"I. uh, hey your lucky I got here at all, and yet your thanks is I'm 'off key'?!?!" she yelled standing up, waving the file full of forms in her hand. "God, you've been in a coma for months, and yet, somehow you never change!"
Spike just smirked and looked up at her, "And neither do you" he said.
"Spike", she said closing her eyes and trying to calm down. "Spike, please be serious for once."
Spike, barely picking up on how flustered she really was, nodded, "K, fine then I'd like to ask you a serious question, how did you get here?"
Faye sat back down and stared at her feet for a moment, "Well" she said, easing back into her normal sly and sarcastic tone "I found you by sheer coincidence, I'm actually here looking for a bounty, but I cant find the damn guy, so while looking for him I stumbled upon Lunkhead, a.k.a., you."
"Oh" he said, leaning back and putting his hands behind his head, "I thought you might have actually been concerned for me, considering you almost shot me just to get me to stay on the Bebop." he looked at her out of the corner of his eye.
She sat blushing for a moment, then opening her mouth to what seemed to be yell when-'RING!!!!!!' Went her communicator, they both jumped stopped for a moment before Faye answered it, "What the hell Jet?!" she said "I told you not to call me! What if I had been in the hall around staff or something?! Huh? Do you want a disaster?!" she said angrily.
"Hey, relax alright?! I got good reasons for calling, but first off is he awake yet?" Jet asked. Spike listened actually interested, considering Jet was another person he wasn't expecting to hear from anytime soon. He was even more surprised that Faye and Jet were still together on the Bebop.
Faye sighed "Yea, he's awake-" "Good" Jet interrupted "Faye you need to get out of there, it's not safe, for you or Spike"
"What, why the hell not were in a hospital?!" she yelled, this was not one of her best days, and she was becoming easily flustered. "You- hey!" Spike grabbed the communicator out of her hand and looked at Jet.
"What do you mean not safe Jet?" Spike asked, becoming slightly concerned.
"Spike? Put Faye back on, NOW!" Jet snapped. Spike was taken back, getting yelled at by Jet was nothing new, but for the first time in months? And over Faye?
"Dumbass, give it back!!" demanded Faye leaning over and snatching it out of his hand. Spike let her take it then lounged back in his bed, pouting with arms crossed.
"Faye" Jet said becoming serious again, "You and him need to get out of there, I cant give you all the details now but trust me, its important."
"Jet, I believe you when you say its important but," she said. "How the hell do I get him out, he cant even fucking walk?!!!"
Spike glared at her "I can walk just fine, it's the fucking doctors who tell me to stay."
"Faye, in case you've forgotten, you work there!"
"Oh yeah." Faye said simply "So wait, what am I just supposed to drag him out saying 'all good'?"
Just then there were footsteps heard outside the door. Faye looked at Spike then shut the communicator off and not knowing where else to put it, shoved it under his sheets.
"Hey, what d-"
"Shut it Spike!" Faye whispered harshly. Just as she said this, a nurse walked in, Somoane to be exact.
"Liana, oh I see your getting aquatinted with Mr. Spiegel, good!" she nearly squealed.
Faye stood up "Uh. yes, we were just talking about when he would be ready to leave" she said with a fake smile.
"Oh, well I don't know, that all depends on how fast the whole recovery process goes, and then theirs the situation the Mr. Spiegel has no real home to go too, isn't that right Mr. Spiegel?"
Spike looked up at Somoane, then smirked at Faye, who was obviously nervous.
"I'm not sure, do I have a home to go to Liana?"
