Sound and Fury
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

Her voice gets soft and even her eye loose the burning hatred for just a little bit.
"Like the princess in that story book. If she didn't speak or cry for seven years her brother's curse would break and they could all be together. But in the end..."
Her mouth turns into a white line and then she sneers.
"I had to watch what you did to our family. All of it. I wasn't trying to take out your eyes, Saturday. I was trying to rip your brain out of your head because that's what I wanted for myself. But you deserved it."
Saturday does try to defend himself from Zev's lap, head down trying to bury it in the sand like always.
"... They made me do it..That's all he's got ( ... )

It only ends because after the physical trauma and his nerves right now he's feeling a bit like he might throw up in the man's mouth.
Saturday looks surprised and maybe a little tricked at the question.
"You weren't?"
He's cycling down hard and feels like he's wearing weights around his legs and shoulders. He looks deeply into Zev's eyes in a moment that belongs in a movie with lovers and sunsets and odes of eternal devotion.
"Hold me."
Instantly his legs buckle under him. The request wasn't a grand romantic gesture on his part, it was very literal.

"I didn't even know I could. I didn't know you were mine to break up with."
Not for sure. Everything between them as been so tenuous. This is the most confident Zev has yet felt with Saturday. It's such strange circumstances for it. For once, though, he doesn't feel like Sat is just looking for a safe exit and a way to run.
When the smaller agent's legs go slack, Zev dips down slightly before pulling him closer and swinging Saturday's legs up to carry the man in his arms. He cradles Saturday and carries him next door to his own bathroom, since Olivia is occupying Saturday's.
"Let's get you cleaned up. You look like shit."

Saturday doesn't want to date any other man, for sure. And shocking himself, he realizes he would much rather be with Zev then any other woman. He'd just never considered that men could have relationships that were the same as with girls. He saw it as only rought trade. Now he has to deal with the fact that he's asked for something he didn't know existed until afterward. And he worries that in doing so he's obligated to go further then he wants to.
For now though, he remembers that all Zev wants is to be with him. He smirks with eyes shining as he's carried away.
"But I'm still hot, baby."
It sounds horribly akward when Saturday says it, like a white boy saying 'word!'.

Zev doesn't know when or even if Saturday will ever go farther with him. He doesn't know if they'll have sex before this all comes crashing down. Just being closer is something to hold onto for now.
Saturday may sound awkward, but he succeeds in making Zev laugh. He kisses a small, clean spot on Sat's forehead with a small grin.
"Yes. You're still hot as hell. I just don't want your blood all over my bed."
Which, would suggest that's where Zev plans to put Saturday after this bath.
He sits Saturday on the toilet seat in his bathroom and starts filling the tub with hot water.

"You can take a fucking bath and rehydrate. .... Do you have juice at your place? I have the meat, but only a frozen can of concentrate as far as OJ goes."
The water temperature is checked again as the tub fills and he cools it down a little for the last bit.
"Strip down and climb in, unless you want help with that. You can scrub off the Night of the Living Dead look you've got going and I'll make us dinner and get you something to drink in the tub."
He won't even spike it. He can play nurse too. Zev will even do it effectively this time. That is unless Olivia also plans to fuck him and steal his patient. If that's the case, he's going to quit.

But he does have plenty of OJ stocked up. Every agent does. He begins undressing as he gives out orders as politely as he can. He's just not used to ordering around people not at work.
"There are two gallons in there and an extra freezer against the kitchen wall. Take one out of the fridge and and two out of the freezer. Put one of the frozen ones back in the fridge to thaw out."
In case Olivia needs more.
He smiles.
"I think I like it better when you're taking care of me. You're a much better nurse then a patient. You didn't hurt yourself did you?"
He's worried about the stitches.

He teases a little, but if Olivia decides to turn on him he has no chance and he knows it. The only reason he's alive is because she hasn't decided she wants him dead yet. It's not as if where he is in this building will make much of a difference in that.
The concern for him gets a smile in return. Zev's still sort of embarrassed about his injuries and would rather just ignore it and keep working. He's a terrible patient. Still, it's nice that Saturday cares.
"I'm fine." He really is this time. A little sore, but much better. "You've taken good care of me. Now I get to do the same. Probably more fun when you're conscious, too."
Zev chuckles to himself, gives Saturday a good look over once he's at least mostly disrobed, and heads out of the door.
"I'll be right back."
