He knows he shouldn't think this way, he does, it's just…he can't help it. In all his years of fighting, killing, he cannot resist one simple thought…
When they're sparring, and she so pissed at him for dodging every blow…
When she's losing control, eyes glowing, screaming obscenities…
When she's waking up slowly, realizing she's lost it again…
When she's crying, when she thinks he can't hear her, over that green idiot…
Most of all, worst of all, the night she thought she killed them…and she smiled up at him, looking for praise…
"You were brilliant." But he's thinking 'beautiful.'
