Stunned by his actions, Eleanor flinches but remains speechless. Apart from Mr Scott, no one has ever shown this much tenderness and concern to her– Charles might have, but he would also have lectured her about not trying to appear stronger than she was.

“Thank you.” Eleanor draws her hand back into her lap, awkwardly fumbling for something to say even though the older man looked completely at ease.

“Where did you learn to do this?” she gestures to her hand.

Flint stepped back once he’d released her hand, suddenly aware of the way he’d entered her space in a way that had never really happened before. Their relationship had always remained professional, barely brushing into personal territory when it was relevant to their business transactions, but he had always felt affection for her. 

“You don’t spend long in a life where half of your job is fighting without learning how to take care of injuries like that,” he responded easily, dodging the fact that he had actually learned most of his wound treatment skills in the navy.

“Watch where the fuck you’re going!” Eleanor snaps, tumbling backward and dropping a jar on her foot. “Fuck!” she gasps and hops a little, wincing, then glares up at the person who’d knocked into her. Her jaw drops.

“James?”

James was ready to duck his head, apologize, and keep moving. He just wanted out of this grocery store and to go home, and he didn’t need any confrontation to delay that. However, when he heard his name he looked up. It took a moment before he recognized that woman. 

“Shit -- Eleanore! I’m sorry.” He quickly bent to pick up the jar she’d dropped, thankfully it hadn’t smashed.

1. a kiss on the knuckles

Flint had watched the altercation play out from the corner of the tavern with amusement. It wasn’t the first time Eleanore Guthrie had gotten violent to prove her point to a man, and it certainly wouldn’t be the last. He did, however, have business with the woman and followed her back towards her office. They launched into discussion, and by the time they were finished he’d noticed the way she’d been flexing her fingers on the hand that had delivered the punch earlier. He reached out and caught her hand, examining it. “I don’t think you’ve broken anything, but let me wrap it in case,” he offered as he was already on his way to doing so. Once the wrapping was complete he pressed a kiss to the top of her knuckles and released her hand.

“Your heartbeat feels calmer than it did last night.” Kaylee and James (yolo and all that, feel free to ignore)

@southern-belle-outcasts

James chuckled, raking his fingers through his messy hair, as if it might help to fluff out his curls a bit. "Wonder why that is," He joked, moving a hand to rest it against Kaylee's lower back. "Bet yours is calmer than it was last night, too," A smirk to accompany his words. "We could fix that, though. I like to get in a bit of cardio in the morning, anyway..."

"You keep looking at me like that, and I might start thinking you're interested." (Izzy xD)

@diiisplxced

"Who says I'm not interested?" James couldn't help the small smirk that formed, keeping his gaze trained on Izzy as he spoke.

19 - Nose Kiss

The air was still and quiet as the dawn began to stream through the curtains, and James was enjoying watching Thomas sleep peacefully. He knew he would have to get up soon, he had a meeting that day and he couldn’t leave directly from the Hamilton’s house to meet with Hennessy. However, for the moment he was content to lay with Thomas and leaned forward to press a gentle kiss to the other man’s nose as he began to wake.
