3am rolled around at the Lagoon Company's office. Rock was still on the couch, and still staring at the clock as though any minute now, it might reveal all of the mysteries of the universe. The ashtray in front of him was overflowing with cigarette butts, and a close to empty bottle of Bacardi rounded off his intoxication for the evening. His eyes were completely bloodshot and he looked as though he might pass out from anxiety any minute.
Outside the office, Shenhua pulled one of Chang's Mercedes' along the sidewalk.
"You've sure been quiet."
"No one ever sacrifice themself for me."
"Well I'm not exactly dead."
"You sacrifice your body for me; this same thing. I no forget it."
"I told you, I owe…" Shenhua cut her off sharply, "That not matter now. We work for ourselves when I get shot. Tonight we work together and you get shot for me. This different; this I not forget."
Revy was taken back by her comment and after a few seconds began to smile. Revy exited the car and watched as the Mercedes slowly vanished into Roanapur.
Back in the office, the twisting of the doorknob merely brought Rock to turn to face the door. His body, his nerves, his muscles, every bit of him was too tense to even move.
Revy pushed the door open and immediately she noticed her mess of a partner. Since he was all but incapable of moving, she walked over to him, "Holy fuck Rock, what the hell happened to you?"
Stiff and exhausted as he was, as soon as he saw Revy's arm bandaged, he snapped out of it and leapt from the couch, "What happened to me?! What the fuck happened to you?! Are you alright?"
"Oh, this, I got shot saving Chinglish."
"Shenhua? You saved her?"
"Some motherfucker tried shooting us while they were running away. I just pushed her out of the way, it wasn't that big of a deal."
"Still, I know you two don't exactly get along. That's a pretty nice thing you did."
"I guess. Well what do you say Rock? Round two at long last?"
Rock smiled, "You sure you're up for it with your injury?"
"Are you fucking kidding me?!"
She forced her lips onto his and they began to creep towards their room. Rock laid back on the bed and Revy worked her way down his chest. As she began to unbuckle his belt however, she heard the familiar sound of Rock's snoring.
"What the fuck?!" She shouted as she got to her feet, "Rock?!"
She leaned over sprawling out over him. She held herself up with one hand and gave his jaw a shake with the other. Letting go, his head merely fell to the side and he continued to snore.
Her head fell in disappointment and she groaned, "Fuck. Can't even get laid."
She stood from the bed, placed her cutlass on the table, and removed her holsters. Her shirt came over her shoulders, and finally she undid her belt dropping her Daisy Dukes to the floor before she entered the bathroom.
She stood under the showerhead, the water set just hotter than she was comfortable with and pressed her hands to the wall for balance. She stood amidst the spray of water and collected her thoughts. Shenhua wasn't entirely wrong, breathing was indeed important and she concentrated on slowing her breathing to calm her nerves. A few moments later, she had found a state of peace, so much so that she didn't hear Rock join her in the shower.
He wrapped his arms around her waist, "Fooled you."
She smiled as she placed her hands onto his, "Rock…"
"Round two Revy."
And that's all. Sorry this last chapter is so short. I wrote this fic this week, after writing the gunfight at the warehouse last week. I had some more ideas but they kinda disappeared over the weekend :(
Anyways, if you made it this far, I hope you liked it :)
