Sound and Fury

[shooting_blind]

Saturday has not strayed far from Zev's side as they wait to hear from DOPE. He's afraid of West coming and getting him. If he thought West was coming for him then he would keep his distance, however he's smarter then that. And foolishly protective of his new lifeline to humanity and family

Olivia shuts the door behind Zev and peels her feet off the floor after they healed to it. She's getting the feeling this isn't ever going to be as satifying as she'd been hoping all these years.

By time Zev comes back to him the tub is really gross. It didn't take long for the water to be disgusting so Saturday drained it and ran the shower. He sits down washing his hair for the third time. His plan to go from head to toe is working slowly, but it has kept him distracted enough not to wonder what was keeping Zev.

One gallon of OJ goes in his fridge, and a couple large steaks are laid out on the counter to thaw, then Zev brings the other jug to Saturday.

"Wow... If I ever decide to make a horror movie, you're invited."
He holds the jug of juice out for Sat to take.
"Here. I'll take over scrubbing duty if you want."
Zev doesn't feel like going into what exactly kept him up.

[shooting_blind]

Saturday almost snatches it away in his haste to have it. He manages a quick nod before tearing the cap off and chugging. He drinks until he's out of breath, takes a huge gasp, and then goes for more.
This goes on until it's nearly gone and mostly pulp at the bottom. He burps and excuses himself then places it outside the tub.
"Thank you. Do you wanna get in with me?"

[thecompanymutt]

He tries really hard, but Zev just can't watch this without laughing. It's an impressive display, really, the likes of which he hasn't seen since training on the farm.

Zev smiles as he's invited into the shower. For now, he'll just be with Sat and take care of him. He'll try not to worry about what happens next or what Olivia is going to do. Just enjoy the moment.
"Yes, please."

He unbuttons his jeans and strips them off quickly before climbing into the tub. He wrings out the pink water of the wash cloth, and starts rubbing Saturday's shoulders, cleaning away blood but also enjoying touching.

[shooting_blind]

"I owe you another bottle of shampoo. I'm probably going to go through this one."
He turns around, not sure where to put his hands. He'd planned to kiss Zev, but now he's unsure. Saturday isn't sure he's up to the point of pressing his naked wet body to another man's. Not when he's not horney. The times he has before it's been in their games where Saturday felt safer and more sure of himself. Taking this step casually is too hard.

But now he's turned around and looking at Zev's body without doing anything. He'd just invited the man in. He should say or do something.
"... Hello."
That was.. brilliant. He quickly tilts his head up to give Zev a kiss on the chin and turns back around.

[thecompanymutt]

"I'll start you a tab."
He's really not that concerned with running out of shampoo and soap. Zev's mind is still reeling at the fact Saturday is still alive after that. His heart felt like it collapsed in that instant when he thought the man was dead. Being able to touch him seems so much more substantial after that.

Zev gives a small laugh at the sudden greeting. He kisses a thoroughly cleaned spot on the top of Saturday's head.
"Hi."

Running fingers through Saturday's hair helps Zev to find the spots where there's still blood matted in it. It's mostly clean, but he scrubs at the few dirty clumps with some shampoo.

Having his hair washed by another man sort of makes him feel like a small child. But for the most part Saturday is enjoying this, and thankful his awkwardness didn't hurt Zev's feelings. The time he was suddenly in a fight he didn't understand while Zev was healing has stuck with him. Everything is alien enough that he's not sure from one moment to the next if he's doing something wrong. He doesn't know how much of his actions are just brushed off by the other agent.

He's also not aware of how amazing having him there and fine is to Zev. The shower drain is stopped with slimey chunks of clotted blood and finding it in his hair might be a bit... upsetting to someone not used to that. It doesn't dry any faster then normal blood.

[thecompanymutt]

Zev is glad that Saturday isn't putting up a fight about the hair washing. He needs this right now, even if Sat doesn't. He's shaken, even if the other agent takes well to being shot several times. It's all he can do not to just wrap his arms around the man and not let go.

"God.... there's.. there's so much blood. This is ...probably the grossest thing I've ever done for another person. Just so you know."
Well, that he's ever done willingly. He doesn't feel the need to specify that, though.

[shooting_blind]

"Sorry. My blood clots fast. It's one of the ways I heal quickly. I know it's slimey."
There aren't even bruises where the bullets hit. Such minor injuries are long taken care of.

"I'm fine. I'm ravished and shaky, but there's no pain besides an over all body ache. Not from the bullets, just the fast healing. You don't have to do this if you don't want. I know you offered to be nice and to touch me."
Saturday can be a tease during games, but other then that he keeps it under wraps. It's just not part of his personality here. So when he offers, it's actually more innocent then it sounds.
"You can clean something else if you want..."

[thecompanymutt]

"Slimey I can deal with. I thought you were going to die, for fuck's sake. Slimey is fine."
The only times Zev has dealt with a mess this bad, there's been a body to get rid of. Cleaning this gore off a living person is strange.

"I do want to. I like touching you, but I don't want to push you. I'm not going to do any more than you want me to."
With Saturday's hair finally clean, Zev brushes it aside and kisses the man's neck softly. He finally gives in to the desire and wraps his arms around Sat, holding him close.

[shooting_blind]

"The chest shot was pretty bad. That could have killed me. But it didn't. I'm fine."
He holds Zev's arms to him, leaning back and letting Zev have this. The neck kissing is all for him though. He likes that. Has ever since Zev re-introduced him to making out on the sofa.
He even moves Zev's hand to stray to his lower stomach, holding it there. It's comfortable in one way, but really strange in another. Zev's hand is huge.

"How much did you see?"

[thecompanymutt]

With his hand moved and obviously accepted on Saturday's stomach, he brushes his fingers over the light dusting of hair there. It's good that Sat likes it, because Zev continues to lay soft kisses along Saturday's neck and shoulders.

"I think she threw you against the door before I came in... After that, I saw everything that wasn't moving too fast. ... I couldn't do anything." He leans his head on Saturday's shoulder, letting water run down his back. "I felt so fucking useless... I'm sorry. All I could do was watch."

[shooting_blind]

His body is recovering and he's not in a sexy mood so it's not obvious in the usual way that he's enjoying it. But the rest of his body is putting out a clear message. He sinks into Zev and relaxes, breathing deeply.

"It was between Olivia and I... I didn't want you involved. When I went to you for protection I was in so much pain I wasn't thinking."

[thecompanymutt]

Having Saturday just feel calm and comfortable in his arms is good for Zev. He hates the way the other agent tenses under his touch so often. Like a frightened rabbit, ready to run. This, in comparison, is nice.

"Oh, fuck that. I wanted to save you and I couldn't. I couldn't protect you. ... Look, if I want to be a fucking idiot and try to play the hero just let me be stupid, ok?"
He nuzzles softly against Saturday's neck, sighing gently.
"I think I like you coming to me for protection."

[shooting_blind]

Saturday's stomach growls under Zev's hand like it's going to bite. He sighs.
"It's not that this isn't nice..."

"Okay. You can be stupid all you want, Mr. I heal at normal speed. Zevvy, you do protect me. From a lot of things."
It growls again. Those steaks aren't going to be ready in time. He needs food NOW.
"Do you have hamburger meat? I really need something now."
The cramps are kicking in hard enough to lean him forward. His body is letting him now that the time it was giving him to run to a safe place after healing is over. Pay up.

[thecompanymutt]

Poor starving baby. Zev lays another long, soft kiss on the tender skin below Saturday's ear before pulling away. He shouldn't have gotten in. There are other things he needs to be doing for Sat, after all. Protecting Sat from memories, guilt, and himself will just have to be enough for now.

"I've got burger meat, but it's frozen. Think you can get by on lunch meat and fruit for about ten minutes?"
Zev gets out of the shower quick and wraps a towel around his waist, ready to get food started immediately.
