She runs down the stairs jumpy as usual, he doesn't even take his eyes from the TV screen, it's just Parker being Parker; then he hears it: silence. Silence and Parker aren't two things that go along with each other, except off course when she's working. He turns around to find her standing in the middle of the room, very straight and tense, breathing quietly and staring at him.

-You're hurt. - he states simply.

-Yes... How do you know?

-I know when people are hurt Parker. - She looks down and away secretly thankful she wears black because otherwise the blood tainting her clothes would show and the team would have freaked out about it.

-I was repelling down the building… It was a stupid thing; I thought I could patch it on my own...

-But ya can't. - He turned the TV off and stood up from his armchair. - Want me ta call Sophie in?

-She's not as good as you are... - She bites her lips, he catches it and sighs.

-That's not why we call her Parker. It's just so you feel safer. - Parker wants him to call Sophie, she honestly does, but she also knows she needs to learn to trust people, besides, rationally she knows she's safe.

-There's no need to call her... - Eliot throws his hands on the air and for a moment she thinks he's mad and she really wants to run away; her legs cheat on her and don't move. When he turns to look at her again he's smiling and that makes her even more nervous; he doesn't know what he's smiling about.

Eliot Spencer knows something happened to Parker when she was a child, he doesn't know details yet it's enough for him to understand why she's so taken aback about this so he leads her upstairs and seats her on an armchair in the middle of the room. Next he opens all the doors and windows on the place and takes her harness and Taser from her bag pack placing them on the table at her side.

-If I do anything you don't feel comfortable with either you tell me to stop, and I promise I will, or you Tazer me and run away. - She nods even though she wasn't expecting that from him.

He gets up again and leaves the room coming back with his very complete First Aid kit. He seats on a chair in front of her and pulls closer.

-Now hun, just tell me, are you wearing anything under that shirt? - She isn't. - Can ya take it off on your own? - She lifts the shirt above her breasts exposing the wound; Eliot winces at the sight of the bloody thing. - That's gonna need stitches. I need you to take your shirt off darlin'. - She can't; the movement of pulling the thing above her arms hurts. He gives her a reassuring smile. - May I? - She nods.

Eliot is extremely and almost surprisingly sensitive when it comes to her, he grabs the hem of the shirt and pulls a little bit towards him just so his fingers will touch as less of her skin as possible and pulls it above her head on a quick movement. He stares at her for a few moments and Parker takes the chance to study him, she searches for any dangerous signs of lust or desire in his eyes and face, but there aren't any, he's too focused on her wound to notice the rest of her.

He washes the blood away with saline and cleans the wound using betadine; he stitches her up carefully, as quickly as he can, because she refused to take any pain kills and he can tell she's in pain. He spreads bacitracin ointment on it after to prevent any infections and helps her dress always having in attention he can't touch her.

-You will have a small scar...

She gets up from her chair happy and relieved about all of that and walks towards him; meaning to thank him she tries to kiss him, but he pulls away gently and grabs his car keys without facing her.

-Let me take you home darlin', you need to rest. - Parker spends the rest of her night confused not knowing why he refused her; she feels so many contrary things at the same time her head aches. She's relieved while feeling hurt by him. Why?

A/N: I am not sure if what Eliot did was the correct procedure so if it isn't please tell me what the right thing to do is.

So, why do you think Eliot didn't let Parker kiss him and what is Parker feeling?

Review and I will post the next chapter.
