[Okay, there’s normally only one…two people now who’d even bother to come to his door, and one doesn’t generally announce herself. The security system doesn’t leave anything to chance, though, one or two button pushes and he can see who’s on the other side. Which makes him smile slightly, no lie, even though she looks, well…okay. Pissed. So he doesn’t trip over too much getting to the door, but then he’s there, the deceptively strong door opening a crack, and then fully.]
…hey. [He rubs the back of his head, eyebrows raised in concern.] You, uh, all right?
{ Though her lips are apart and the words are burning on her tongue, the sneering spiteful snark sizzling in her mouth, she visibly falters as soon as he shows up behind the door. His brows are raised and he looks nervous as ever and… her stomach, having already dropped to the floor, proceeds to dig its way down too.
Her voice croaks and shakes and breaks, but it’s audibly decisive and firm, and, oh so clearly, pissed the fuck off. }
You and him.
{ She stops to breathe in and lick her lips. }
Just tell me what the fuck you were thinking. With me. Why the fuck are you bothering, with, with some fucked up girl from space if you- if you’ve got this guy fucking you on the side, am-
{ She stops to breathe in and swallow hard.
Her arms are either side of him. One hand on the doorframe and the other on the door itself. She’s leaned in towards him with a sneer to her lips, but the anger doesn’t spread across all her features as the brimming waterline is clear in her eyes. }
Am I just a fucking experiment or something?
{ She stops to breathe in and look up. Let him speak. }
Is- is that why you like me?
[There is, literally, a moment of fear. Not even that he thinks she's going to hurt him, but confusion mixed with a definite idea that he's done something wrong, before the fear changes back to puzzlement because, really, he can't figure this shit out and it's all he can do to stare at her slack-jawed, before her last two questions sink in and make him feel...well. He has no clue, really.]
I...don't know a him. I mean, I know John, the dude who looks like me, but we've never met, and Widow, but she's not a he unless she's hiding it really well. Which I mean, she could be, I guess, but, uh, I don't think- I think she'd tell me at this point? I-
[He just stops then, and looks down.]
No one even comes to my fucking door except you and her. Fucking-
...I should be asking you those last two questions. Not the other way around.
