she’s chuckling, more from the ridiculousness of his words than anything else. they’d long established, even before the start of their relationship, that hal is not a morning person, and his attempt to sleep in today only underlines that fact. despite the fact that kira’s been awake since the first signs of sunlight streaming in through the windows, just as she usually is, even she sees the appeal of staying in bed for the meanwhile.

but

” c’mon, babe. you know we have to get ready soon, or else pope’s gonna get testy again. besides, i doubt that the dragon will be any match for the two of us. if anything, it should be afraid of us. so c’mon … ”

and here she nuzzles her nose into the skin of his bare bicep, fingers tracing the outline of his arm with the lightest of touches. it’s an attempt to coax him into wakefulness.

He buries his face into the pillow even further and lets out displeased noises because today he really doesn't feel like moving or going out of bed. There are days when he just wants to lock himself inside the room and do nothing, pretend the aliens don't exist. It is only Kira that manages to get him out of tbed. And the responsibility he has towards people.

"Okay, you are right, the dragon doesn't stand a chance against us. I still don't see the reason why we have to lave the warmth of this amazing bed. And regarding Pope— I'm still his boss and I can tell him to fuck off."

Hal lifts his arm and wraps it around Kira's back, pulling her closer to him.

He can't stand seeing her here, by his side. Not when she's looking at him like he might break down into million pieces any moment. And he's angry because she's right, he feels like he's only being held together by safety pins and bandaids. He doesn't need her reminding him of it at all times and he sure as hell doesn't need her pity.

Yes, his mother is gone. She died in a terrible car crash and he feels all alone in the world, even though he still has his father and his brothers. Hal and his mother have been the closest and he loved her more than anything. But he is going to stay strong, it's what his mother would want him to do. And when Kira looks at him like that, he wants to crash down and give in. So he needs her gone so he can be fine.

"I don't want to see you anymore."

It's said in such a clinical tone that he doesn't recognize himself between the sounds that leave his mouth and he feels proud of how well he can handle the situation. He loves her, but he needs to be alone now. He needs to heal at his own pace, without people asking him how he feels every 30 seconds and without them being nice to him because they have to, he just lost his mother. He wants to grieve in peace, without having to deal with people. Not even with his family.

As soon as his gaze falls on her, it never leave Kira again, afraid that if he blinks, if he looks away, she will disappear again. He's afraid he's just imagining things, his brain creating a false image of what he wants because he can't stop thinking about it. She is constantly on his mind, ever since that day he met her and it annoys him that he can't get her out of his mind. He was even annoyed by her presence at first and here he is now, following her everywhere with his eyes. After talking to Jordan, he decides that he has to talk to her, he needs to.

So he downs his drink and places the empty glass on a table before walking over to where she was chatting with a blonde girl, clearing his throat to make his presence announced as he puts on his best smile. Even if she did it on purpose, he plans to be polite. His mother has raised him like that and he wasn't a child, has stopped being one a long time ago.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the cookie briber..."

" I can’t believe you actually picked me. "

He finally allows his shoulders to relax, letting out a small puff of air as he leans against the kitchen table, its edges poking him into his back, but it’s not uncomfortable. It’s a reminder that he is alive, something solid to confirm that he is still here, still able to protect those who he loves.

And the way she looks at him, like what he’s done was unexpected and absurd makes him wonder if there’s still any doubt about the extents at which he is willing to go for her. It was never about the alien technology or the promises of peace and prosperity they offered in exchange for her. He knew that those would be something the camp might need, but the alien’s word was worth nothing — they have broken their word before and Hal wouldn’t even be surprised if they did it again. So of course he was not going to let them take Kira and use her for God knows what purposes.

It would have been wrong and he would have made the same choice, even if it wasn’t Kira the one they had abducted. So it was only logical that he told them to fuck off and chose her, even if it led to a lot of fighting between the two species. It was bound to lead there, anyway.

His leg aches from where he got wounded, but Anne attended to it, so he is going to be fine. The pain in his leg doesn't even mattered compared to the joy of having her in front of him again, alive and safe.

”Of course I did. There was no other option.”

He's talking to Dai when she notices her, a few feet away from where they were standing, talking to people and offering them each a warm smile, like she always does and he finds himself zoning out on Dai more than once as his gaze keeps moving to where she goes, following her.

Throwing an I'll see you later at his friend, Hal walks over to where she is, pushing his hands into the pockets of his jacket and wrapping it tightly around himself. He isn't cold, no. It's more like a protection cocoon, to feel secure.

"Hey. Can I have a word with you?"

santakira:

” i’m sorry, what did you say ? “

she’d just entered their room, and had been in the process of putting down her rifle for the day when he’d spoken. such a declaration had taken her aback, if only for the fact that it sounds far too agitated, far too close to the tone of possessiveness that she’s not quite heard of from him. perhaps it’s because she’d been aloof to most of the others in their group, keeping to herself and hal for as much as possible, and now that she’s got a long time friend with her, one that she hadn’t expected to see anymore, not with the alien threat, her disposition has changed. perhaps it’s worrying him.

there’s no excuse for it, however. jordan is a friend, a good one, at that, and whatever hal’s thinking right now is wrong, wrong, wrong.

she bristles at his tone, brows furrowing in thought. kira’s not quite sure how to handle him when he’s being like this.

” he’s not doing anything wrong, hal. “

"You've heard me."

It always happens like this — he gets something good in his life, something worth living for and then something or someone happens and it gets taken away from him. But not this time, no. Hal's had enough of losing people and he will not accept losing Kira. He'll stay and fight and hell if he'll give up easily.

He crosses his arms over his chest, determined to make his point clear. He doesn't like that Jordan guy, even if he is Kira's friend.

"I don't like how close you are and I don't like how much you seem to trust him. I neither like nor trust him. He is your friend, not mine. And he definitely needs to stop getting into your personal space. Just friends don't do that."
