Summary: Kate gives Tommy a warning, not that he's going to listen anyway.
Tommy Shepherd is enjoying a chocolate shake in front of the TV when Kate comes from behind and twists his ear as hard as she can.
“Yow!” he screams, and he turns around, rubs his wounded ear and glares at her. “What the hell was that for?”
Kate crosses her arms in front of her. “You've been hitting on me way too much lately, and I don't appreciate. I'm with Eli now, so you can stop.”
Tommy looks affronted. “Oh, did he put you up to this?” He snorts. “I should teach your boy a lesson.”
“No, you won't. This is my doing, so no more messing around, Tommy.” Her voice rises with anger. “Got that?”
“Yeah, whatever,” he says, waving his hand with disinterest and returning to the TV.
“I mean it, Tommy. You're not going to flirt with me or try to piss off Eli. You need to promise,” Kate demands, and there's a heavy pause where he doesn't answer. Finally, he spins around and casually rests his arm on the back of the couch.
“Sure, probably,” he says.
“Probably? Are you crazy?” she rages.
“Well, I have been dubbed the team sociopath, so yes, I guess I am crazy,” he retorts.
“Do you even care about my feelings?” Kate asks him bluntly. Suddenly, Tommy speeds around and comes within inches of her face. Kate freezes under his grin.
“Of course, I care,” Tommy says, the macho bravado returning to his tone. He stares at her lips. “Which is why I'm not going to listen - to either of you.”
Kate releases a strained breath. “Why?”
He leans close and whispers in her ear. “Because you don't really want me to.”
