Takeda/Jacqui
He was adept at making her laugh, at bringing a light dust of red to her mocha cheeks, at casually coaxing her into playful banter. This time however, his methods had backfired and he found himself on the floor with a small gash over his eye.
Should've blocked instead of run that mouth…
Specialist Briggs had just returned with a first-aid kit, carefully thumbing through its contents until she found what she needed then patted her lap for Takeda to rest his head on. Despite being injured, things had turned out quite well. Not only was he snuggled between a pair of juicy thighs, he also had the prettiest girl in Special Forces taking care of him. Impish glee ascended along the line of his lips but soon faltered upon meeting the sting of an alcoholic wipe.
"Ow." He grimaced only to hear Jacqui chuckle.
"Next time, you'll do a little less talking."
"Hey, if talking means getting whooped and a day between these thighs, I'll take my chances." Takeda smirked. Jacqui squeezed the remaining drops of alcohol into the cut.
"I'm kidding! I'm kidding!" Takeda yelped. Jacqui hummed deviously.
"You better be. Now close your eyes and tilt your head for me."
Takeda obeyed and they sat together quietly. Fingers working diligently to clean and dress the wound while Takeda relaxed and enjoyed the view.
"Hey," he chimed after awhile. "You try anything from that new burger spot yet? I heard their double-double is good and it's getting close to lunch time."
Jacqui flashed a coquettish smile. "Is that you asking me on a second date Mr. Takahashi?"
"That would be an affirmative ma'am." Takeda cheesed. "And, well you owe me for um, damaging the goods." He made a circle gesture around his face.
"Not my fault you couldn't handle a little Muay Thai." She chuckled. "But alright, I'll treat you...this time~"
The Shirai Ryu ninja let out an audible whoop as he did a little victory dance to display his happiness. A second date with Ms. Jacqueline Briggs. Life was good.
"You're lucky you're cute Takeda." Jacqui added, carefully smoothing a band-aid over his wound. She gave it a light pat to signal she was finished.
"Good to go. Now kick rocks kid."
"Cool." Takeda affirmed with a nod then reluctantly removed himself from the comfort of her lap. Once he was eye level with her, he leaned forward gently and planted a soft kiss on Jacqui's lips. It was a bold move since they had just started dating, but if it had her blushing madly and him smiling like the village idiot, no regrets. Takeda spun on his heel as he made his exit, opting to jog backwards just to gaze at her once more.
"See you then Jacqueline Briggs~"
