Josephine Sousa Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 It had been a few days since Joe had went to see Ilia. She felt like shit and wanted to punch Misha in the face a few more times for good measure just to cheer her ass up. This was going to be awful and she really didn't have anyone to blame but herself. She should have told Kaz to fuck off when he tried to kiss her. She normally would have told Kaz to fuck off. Why the fuck didn't you tell Kaz to fuck off you stupid puta? She was rubbing her face trying to think of how to put this but really there wasn't a good way. She fucked this up and right now just hoped the nerd would forgive her but she doubted it. She couldn't even really forgive herself right now. She took in a breath as she heard the familiar footsteps of the nerd. "Hey," she said when he came into the workshop that she knew he used most. @Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilia Sokolov Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Fortunately, the injuries sustained in the Dead City hadn't been too serious. Ilia had recovered quickly enough. He hadn't been cleared for the field again, yet, but held no complaints. Given his druthers, he Ilia would have spent most - if not all - of his days sequestered in his shop. Field work was all fine and good, but this was what he'd been made for. Mechanical and tech support. That was what he really loved. He was refurbishing an old rifle a stalker had recovered from the surface, at that moment. The radio was playing in the background, skipping every so often thanks to wear and tear over so many years. The man heard Joe enter before she spoke. For the first few seconds he didn't respond, focused on assembling a part properly. But as he finished he looked up, "Hey, babe." @Morrigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josephine Sousa Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share Posted August 3, 2020 "Hey," she said as she jumped up on one of the counters. "That a new toy for me?" she asked trying to stay casual at first but she was visibly tense which wasn't really like her. @Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilia Sokolov Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 "Might be," he answered, looking at the weapon rather than her at the moment, "if I can get this bastard working again then it's certainly tough enough to survive you... at least for a few weeks." @Morrigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josephine Sousa Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share Posted August 3, 2020 Joe couldn't help the amused huff. "I'll give it a week," she teased him. "Look... I gotta tell you something." @Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilia Sokolov Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 "What's that?" he asked, half distracted and not looking up. @Morrigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josephine Sousa Posted August 4, 2020 Author Share Posted August 4, 2020 “I kind need you to put the gun down Ilia,” she said to him. @Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josephine Sousa Posted August 4, 2020 Author Share Posted August 4, 2020 "I fucked up. In a really bad way and I don't even think you're going to be able to forgive me. I feel really fucking bad but I can't fucking undo it," it would be one of the few times Ilia or anyone would see Joe vulnerable in any way. She was nearly in tears as she rubbed her forehead in frustration. "Fuck." @Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilia Sokolov Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Ilia frowned as he watched her, "What did you do?" @Morrigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josephine Sousa Posted August 4, 2020 Author Share Posted August 4, 2020 Man she didn’t want to tell him and let him live in ignorant bliss but the longer she went without telling him the more it ate ate her. “Fuck. I fucking slept with Kaz.” @Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilia Sokolov Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Ilia wasn't entirely sure what he'd expected to hear, but it certainly hadn't been that. He stood silently, feeling like the breath had been sucked out of him as he processed her confession. @Morrigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josephine Sousa Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 He wasn't fucking talking. This was bad. He should have been yelling or something right? Mad at her. Something. "I don't know what I was fucking thinking. Or even if I was thinking," she wasn't really well known for thinking things through and her head injury from the dead city really fucked her up more than she thought but she wasn't going to use it as an excuse. She didn't have any. She knew she ruined the best thing she had in the metro and this was about to hurt more than she thought it would. @Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
