Boundaries

They were fugitives. Somehow just saving the fucking day wasn't enough - and sure, breaking out of prison was against the law but in Face's mind that didn't make it right to end up headed back into custody when they should be celebrating.

So they ran until the Colonel told them it was time to stop for a few days and get their bearings. Face was left with the distinction of scamming a place to stay - which led him to a small house by an oil refinery that had been on the market over a year with no takers.

A quick trip to the realtor's office to get the lockbox key led to a gorgeous new agent named Lynn or Linda or maybe Lori... But she was cute and unhappily married and fell right into Face's trap.

Dinner led to drinks and by the second martini he was feeling like his old self again. The Faceman... Smooth player that gets what he wants. The man that has no problem flirting, kissing her and when she starts leaning closer against him and touching his chest he's the man that leans in and murmurs against her ear; "We should go back to your place."

And two hours later, smelling of sex and cheap perfume mingled with cigarettes and gin, he lets himself out of her condo with the key and couple 'borrowed' fifties to pick up some burgers for the guys to make up for being late to their seven o'clock rendezvous.

"Dinner delivery," he grinned, knocking on the equally 'borrowed' van's sliding door.

"Took you long enough", Hannibal frowns as he takes his styrofoam box. "You're the only con who needs four hours to book a hotel room."

Face clicks his tongue, sliding in beside Murdock with a subconscious distance between them. "Hannibal, I'm hurt. Cons get you a two-star single occupancy..." He holds up the key with a self-satisfied smirk; "Artists get you a house."

"Where d'you want me, boss?"

He sounds a bit like a petulant teenager. Get it together, Captain.

"Yes sir."

He nods as they pull up to the house. It looks okay from the outside, he'll give Face that much.

"We're gonna talk it out."

And by 'talk' he means 'most likely yell.'

Hannibal knows him well. He doesn't hold grudges especially well, especially where the people he loves are concerned.

"No, can't say I have."

That finally gets a laugh out of him.

"I appreciate the concern, boss, though personally I'm hoping not to have to go that far."

And that's the thing that's difficult for him, really. Allowing himself to get mad without worrying about breaking this thing between them.

"Yeah," he says cautiously. "We are."

"Right."

There's something utterly strange about getting relationship advice from a superior who knows at least a dozen ways to kill people.

That gets a raised eyebrow, but he lets it go without comment.

"Yeah, I know. He had that scent of booze and desperation on him."

Apparently it's not as hard to be mad at him as he'd thought it was. There is one thing, though...

"You know he thinks he's just doing his job."

Seduction is a tool for Face, and they both know it.
notthatcrazy: (nope)

He raises a hand, forestalling and further distraction from the important issues.

"We need to talk."

"Who'd you sleep with to get this place?"

No preamble, no nonsense, just getting it out there.
notthatcrazy: (nope)

[personal profile] notthatcrazy 2013-03-25 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
"Was that really necessary?"

His tone of voice indicates that he's pretty sure it wasn't.

"Yeah... it's kinda your default."

He crosses his arms.

"That's the problem."
