Nervous

~Rei~

I could see how upset Des was. Being in such a tight space never agreed with me either. And...I could hear her heart speeding up. I didn't like seeing her like that. In fact....when she was hurt I got angry. I wanted to kill anyone who hurt her. When she was gone I worried about her. More than I should worry for a teammate.

I couldn't take it anymore, and I wrapped my arms around her. I could feel her shaking in my arms. To my surprise she didn't hit me. She wrapped her arms around me and cried. "It's ok Des..." I couldn't hear or smell anyone out in the hall. I lifted Des's face up. "I'm gonna get us out now ok." She was still crying. "B...but it's locked." I smiled. "Acid doesn't care about locks." She shook her head. "I thought you were trying not to use your blood."

I shrugged, forgetting that she couldn't see it. "It won't hurt me to melt some bolts." I didn't tell her that I had left my cartalizer in our room. "Besides...I don't like seeing you cry." I could see her face turn red at that, and I tried not to chuckle. I walked up to the door and bit my finger, then I drug it along the bolts in the door.

After a few seconds I kicked and the door flew across the hall into the wall. I turned back and smiled at Des, before bowing a little and extending my arm. "Your exit my lady." I looked up and winked at her. Now I could really see her blush. After she walked out I reached up to the top shelf. "All for a stupid dust pan and broom." She let out a little choked laugh. As we started to walk back to the room I leaned down and kissed her on the cheek.
