❛ you’re a fucking nightmare. kiss me. ❜ / dex @weaponid
it doesn’t sound like desire, it sounds like a dare. gloria stands there, breath tight in her chest, jaw working like she's chewing down a scream. maybe, once upon a time, she would've flinched. denied it. tried to scrub the blood off her hands and weigh the scales of morality, not anymore. it isn't something she can just outrun. it wouldn't matter how many lives she saved; she still took without mercy when the orders were given. never hesitated, never uttered the realization that she liked it. gloria laughs, and it's a caustic thing. like she's clinging to the last fragments of dignity before she inevitably begs him to dish out pain as personal penance. ❛ aw, am i keeping you up at night, dex? ❜
it’s been a long time since anyone’s looked at her like she’s something real. not a saviour or a soldier. something he doesn’t want to fix, maybe even something he wants. her hand finds his jaw, fingers rough from the violence of trying to hold onto softness. from too many nights spent stitching other people’s wounds while ignoring her own, she tilts his face down and meets his eyes with something broken and burning. her thumb brushes his cheek with the barest touch of reverence—or—warning. it's a slow melt into him, but not an ounce of hesitation. gifting him the taste of something sweet before her fingers curl roughly into his hair, and teeth graze his bottom lip. a fucking nightmare made flesh if he wanted it.
