svlvies:
liam’s pure existence had sylvie on edge. together they had killed people and nearly been killed themselves about a dozen times. it used to be all in a day’s work for them, on one level. it wasn’t like an endorphin high after winning a super bowl or a world series, chiefly because nobody died in those events. however, it was clearly a contest, of sorts. there were winners and losers in their world, only the losers left the field of battle in body bags. so, being reunited had sylvie drown in a tidal wave of memories & guilt, but she wouldn’t have it any other way. he was too important, not that she would ever admit such a thing. the woman known for her excellence in marksmanship, knew she had hit the bullseye, since her target was fuming beside her. unfortunately, she didn’t get to celebrate her small victory for long, before she found herself being pulled closer & their mouths clashing, giving her zero reaction time. sylvie kissed him back, willingly deepening the kiss as their tongues snaked hotly around each other. once his showmance was done and over with, she took a much needed moment to gather herself, slowly taking her wallet out of her backpack, offering the food attendant an apologetic look. “ just one, please! – and i didn’t say anything about me. i just made your preferences known. “ a huff and a death glare after, sylvie turned her body in the opposite direction from his, her shoulder purposely bumping hard against his. “ you clearly have no idea what turns me on. we should try the feathers on you, though, while it’s still halloween month. you’d make an excellent chicken. “
They’d never been the sort to back down from a firefight. If anything, these two veterans ran towards it. That much hadn’t changed since arriving on campus, and it was Sylvie who was ever there to help him lay out an ass kicking to any prowler or creep who deserved it. Hot-tempered, hot-blooded, they were fire and gasoline and God help anyone within the blast radius when they were set off. Liam tugged at Sylvie’s lower lip before their kiss was terminated, licking his own lips from the taste of her and smiling like the cat who’d got the cream from the satisfaction of having surprised her. He weathered her death glare and the stout shoulder bump in stride. Ordering nothing for himself, he followed beside Sylvie once she had her much longed-for frankfurter, leaning in to whisper as they fled the hungry gaze of a line of students, “No idea what turns you on, huh? I’m half tempted to grab hold of your dog tags, yank you back by them and show everyone in this place what turns you on ... but that’s best saved for privacy where I won’t be fired for it.” He slid a five dollar bill into the side pocket of her uniform pants, making sure to push it down nice and secure ... and maybe letting his touch burn along her thigh a little longer than was necessary but hey, Liam was just being generous. “You weren’t supposed to pay for that, either. Lunch is on me. No one goes hungry on my watch, commander.”
