What the fuck, Gideon?
You weren't expecting him to show up like that and you certainly weren't expecting him to kiss you twice.
Here you are lying in bed unable to sleep, thanks to him. Now how would you act around Gideon? Ruin? Shit, I need to sleep... You roll over and close your eyes and eventually fall asleep, but only in fits and starts. The next time you wake up its 5 am so you decide to go take a shower and get dressed, you weren't going back to sleep now.
You had no idea what time you were supposed to be meeting Ruin so you waited an hour then went downstairs. As soon as you walk outside he's walking over. "Good morning," you say. Ruin walks over to you. "Mornin."
He gives you a bright smile and you can't help but smile back. He smells so good...
Now you were trying to figure out how he showers with his cybernetics. Does it come off? Is it waterproof? Those are questions for later.
"You smell good," you say stupidly, immediately closing your eyes in regret. "I'm sorry."
He laughs. "It's alright. You smell pretty delicious yourself."
"Heh, thank you." You look down playing with your fingers.
"So should we get some breakfast? I know I'm starving," Ruin says.
"Sure, come on." You start walking and he walks beside you looking ahead. You're staring. Stop staring. But that jawline, those cheekbones...and the haircut fits him so well. You sigh out loud and he looks at you. "Everything okay?"
"Yeah, I just didn't sleep well last night. I'm not at my best this morning." You get to the mess hall and he holds the door open for you. "Thanks."
"No problem," Ruin says in that wonderful voice of his.
It seems like the entire hall quieted down when he walked in."I guess everyone is still getting used to you," you say attempting to ease the tension.
"It's nothing, I'm used to it. Happens everywhere I go." When you two sit he asks you something and you nearly choke on your food. "What's with your Captain...Gideon, right? I don't think that guy likes me." You swallow your food quickly and drink some juice to give yourself time. "Oh, Gideon...he's like that towards all the new people."
"Even you?" Ruins asks and you nod,"Yeah, even me."
Just then Gideon walks in and this time you actually do choke on your food. Ruin stands quickly. "Are you alright?!" You nod and manage to tell him to sit back down, you didn't want to make a scene.
He sits slowly still giving you a concerned look. You drink some more juice and its finally under control.
Wiping your eyes, you smile at Ruin. "See? I'm okay."
"Better be," he says as Gideon approaches.
"Good morning, [y/n]...Ruin," Gideon says as pleasantly as possible. You both say good morning and Gideon looks at you. Your face must be red and your eyes are still watery.
"[Y/N], what's happened?" His eyes are wide.
"Calm down. I just choked on a bit of food, I'll be fine."
"Yeah, she's okay, man. I'm sitting right here. If anything was wrong I would have taken care of it..." Ruin says and you turn your head slowly to look at him then back at Gideon. Oh boy...
Gideon clenches his jaw, probably holding back a lot and then smiles. "I was just making sure. Can't have anything happening to one of our best." He puts his hand on your shoulder and you smile up at him stiffly then you look at Ruin nervously.
"No worries, Captain, I'll take great care of her," Ruin says calmly. You see that Gideon is clenching his jaw even more, ready to explode so you cut in. "Ruin, you ready for that tour?"
He takes his eyes off of Gideon and they soften when he looks at you. "Sure am."
You smile. "Good. Let's go."
When he stands and walks to the trashcan Gideon follows his every move with hate in his eyes.
"You two can't be like this towards each other," you whisper angrily.
"Tell him that." Gideon uses his head to point to Ruin who is now standing outside waiting for you.
"No. You both are grown men..start acting like it. Simple as that." You stand and throw your trash away leaving Gideon with his thoughts.
Ruin's POV
Angry wasn't even close to describing what he felt right now.
That asshole tried to make me look bad in front of her. Captain or not, he had to say something back. Ruin shakes his head and turns to see [y/n] heading towards him and he smiles.
There's no smile on her face though.
"Before you say anything, I was only defending myself. That guy has a stick up his ass or something." She looks at him. "Let's just go."
Ruin wasn't going to speak. He was going to let her cool down and let her speak to him first. She stops suddenly. "Wait a minute...Irons always gives everyone a tour when they first get here. You've already seen the entire base, haven't you?" Fuck...
"I've only known you for two days and you're already lying to me!" Her finger is poking at his chest, but he doesn't feel a thing. Its kinda cute.
"I didn't necessarily lie to you..."
She squints her eyes at him.
"Okay, the tour part was a lie, but I am trying to learn more about this place. One little tour isn't going to help me."
She sighs and they are both quiet for awhile. "Do you ever get tired of all that whirring?"
Ruin laughs. "What?"
"The cybernetics. When I stand close to you or when its quiet enough I can hear them working." Does this mean she isn't mad anymore?
"I don't even hear it anymore to be honest."
"And what are those weird things with the handles on your back?" He reaches back and pulls them out to show her. "These are called gravity spikes."
She reaches out to touch one. "May I?"
"Of course." He holds one closer to her and she runs her little hand over one. So delicate. "They look heavy. Are they?" She asks.
"Well, to me, no. To you or anyone else they probably would be." He tells her.
"How do they work?"
"I can't really show because they would cause too much damage, but I'll try my best to explain. Come here." Ruin turns her so that her back is against his chest. "Put your hands over mine." Her little hands barely fit over his.
"Now, ideally I would do this after jumping off of something tall, like a building..."
"You jump off of buildings?" she asks bemusedly.
"Not every day. I try not to make a habit out of it." She laughs and he continues. "This is the fun part...when I hit the ground I thrust these down into the ground..." When he says thrust he moves his hands to show her the motion and she gasps. "It sends a shockwave and that's that."
"Wow, that sounds pretty cool, but if you can't actually use them here, why do you carry them around?" She looks at him, eyebrows raised.
"Good conversation pieces." Ruin smiles and she shakes her head. "Your body, alone, is a good conversation starter." She immediately groans and covers her face. "I'm sorry. That was a weird thing to say and it was rude. I'm sorry."
Ruin looks around and shrugs, "Its fine, really. You can make it up to me."
"Can I? How?"
He pulls her into a small space between two of the buildings. They both fit, but he is pressed up against her and her back is against the wall.
"Like this." He holds both her hands above her head with one of his and kisses her. She makes the most glorious sounds as his kisses her and places his free hand at the small of her back to bring her even closer.
She's struggling to move her hands. "I want to touch you," she whines.
"If I let you do that we'll be here all day." Ruin had to get a hold of himself. Why did she have this effect on him?
She grinds against him and he moans. A smile appears on her face from her small victory, but he wipes that smile off her face when he grinds back harder, letting her feel...everything. "Oh my..." she says shakily and bites her lip.
They had to get out of there. This was too much. With one more kiss he releases her and walks back out into the open. She fixes her clothes and her hair and comes out to stand next to him.
Ruin had tons of pent up frustration..and other things which is why he was always working out. There was another way he could let it out, but there was no way he'd do that to her. She seemed so fragile, so delicate.
That kiss was a mistake. It only made him want her more. It's only been two days, but he was crazy about her. She was more dangerous than any enemy he had ever faced. His frustration was tenfold now.
"I'm sorry," he says. Did he mean it?
"Don't be." He looks at her and she smiles. "Do you kiss every girl you meet like that?"
Ruin smiles. "Haven't kissed a girl like that in a very long time."
"So I should consider myself lucky then?" She was teasing now.
"That's all up to you, sweetheart."
She shrugs. "We'll see." He was looking at her again, wanting to snatch her up and carry her off somewhere.
"You okay?" He asks her. She nods, "I'm fine, I just need to...cool down." Ruin turns his head and smiles smugly.
She starts to walk away. "I hope you enjoyed that tour."
"It was definitely much better than the one Irons gave me. A very different ending." Ruin says laughing.
"Great. I'll see you later...Donnie." She walks away and he doesn't know what to do with himself. He needed her. Her wanted her more than anything.
She's dangerous and she doesn't even know it...
