Rebuilding Bonds

[notthatcrazy]

It's been a few months since Face's rescue, and everyone's still tensely looking over their shoulders. They've split up for the moment, hoping to better evade potential pursuers, but no one's exactly thrilled about it.

Face's memory is slowly returning, bits of it coming back like pieces of a patchwork quilt. There's still a lot missing, though,and it still hurts that it's gone. Which is why they're standing in a pawnshop on a dingy side street looking for a deal.

It's not what either of them want, really. They should get to have something special, something theirs. But they just...can't, right now, so they make do with what they've got. Just like always.

The core of what they have together is solid, he's never doubted that and he never will. It's just that everything else seems so... broken, and strange right now. And he's not sure how to fix it, or if it even can be fixed.

He sighs. "Yeah..."

Time will tell, of course there's no telling if the next job will be the last... one way or the other. Especially after the last one turned out.

"Love you." He says softly, but with meaning. "I hope you know that too."

"Of course I know. I love you too."

He sits up before leaning down again to kiss his forehead.

"That's one thing you don't ever have to worry about."

He can't stop his lips curling into a fond smile - nor can he really help grabbing Murdock's shoulders and pulling him in for a warm kiss before he's allowed to slink away for more practical matters.

"You're too good to me sometimes."
