"and for all my repeating you still don't seem to understand" he spoke nothing else as they headed for the bathroom.

Samuel shrugged, "What can I say, I'm a stupid person, your words just won't stick." His grin took a turn for real. "In one ear and out the other."

when they made it to the bathroom he took up his stand at the door

Samuel was silent as he went to the bathroom and continued to be silent intil he was washing his hands. The sudden interaction of hot water with recently scabbed wounds made him curse. The water turned a light pink as some blood leaked from the wounds, and he refused to think that the pain was actually a comfort and pleasure.

the man reached for the soap dispenser and he took a quick step over and grabbed his wrist "don't"

Samuel snatched his arm away from the other and demanded, "Why not?"

"your wounds are deep and and rough, i cannot clean out soap with my limited knowledge, should you have any remain. it would be best if you were careful not to get any in there lest you damage yourself in a way that jeopardizes your hands" he looked at his hand, it was wet and pink, he grimaced and rubbed it down his pants-leg.

Samuel really did not get that, the other would have to kill him soon so why take care of him now. All he said however was, "Fine." And did not put soap on his hands but walked out the door.

he followed close behind the other as they ascended the stairs "you know" he began "i don't really understand it. you are ...one of those, and they still let you come, did they not worry you would hurt yourself?"

Samuel turned around to face the other not really concerned that he was going up stairs backwards. "One of those?" He asked curiously. "even if I was "One of those" they would let me come cause I'm supposedly the dest damn engineer on Earth. Plus, I'm one of the few that can make a tower fully functional once it is completely assembled."

he grabbed the other's shirt as he stumbled on a step. "you are also a liability, an insurance hike and an accident begging to happen" he tightened his grip and pulled him down enough that they could see each other eye-to-eye "more so than that, if someone found out...." he trailed off as if to look for the appropriate words, he lowered his tone "it is easy for people to get carried away in a small place like this, especially with no-one to see"

Samuel decided to address each part in order. "I'm not a liability, I do my job and keep everything out of the workplace. Besides your the first person to figure it out even my employers have no idea." He gave the other a sarcastic grin. "Congrats to you."

he blinked. that was odd, had noone really paid enough attention, the man made no efforts to hide it, or maybe... he brushed the thought aside. "you are very dedicated or else they are very negligent" they cleared the stairs "will you let me fix your arms in peace or will you ruin my attempts again by removing them as soon as my back is turned?"

"I'd like to think the first one, but the second one is much more likly." Samuel murmered lightly. "And if you want the truth, I'll probably remove the wraps imediatly."

he knew better than to ask but he really was intrigued now "why do you do it? surly it hurts"

Samuel shrugged, "Is that not the point at some times? Pain to reminf you that you haven't fucked up bad enough to die yet." He does not get why Leslie is not getting it, it is rather simple. "A hasher reminder that no one is perfect." Suddenly he changed his tone and went off in a different direction. "Plus, wrapping the wound makes the recovery time longer and when it finally is unwrapped and left to touch the air it will get infected."

he was momentarily floored by the admission and let go of the other's shirt. the man continued as if not noticing though from the change in direction he obviously had. he gathered himself for a reply 'but leaving it unwrapped leaves it prone to infection and dirt"

Samuel noticed the others surprised expression but ignored it assuming it to be fake. Because how could someone not understand? "Which is why you clean it out." Samuel pointed out. "And try not to reopen it to quickly and if you do to make blood flow out of it to keep the dirt out." Infections are not fun even for someone who like pain.

he nodded along hoping the other would not inquire of his silence, he walked around the other and up the stairs

Samuel followed the other woundering about the sudden silience but not commenting on it. "So any other lovely subject you would like to attempt to broach right now?"

he did not reply and was pleased for it. when they crested the floor he could see through the door his box, it was flashing. he grabbed the other's arm and rushed him to the box "shit" he triggered the camera turning quickly "sorry, i was taking the hostage to the bathroom" the voice of his comrade gave no hint that he was not pleased but leslie could feel it all the same "be that as it may, we have talked to the l un and the un, the l un will submit to our demands with no question pending the exchange of their hostage, the un however thinks further deliberations are needed before a choice can be made" he clenched his hands not realizing one was still wrapped around the other, he pushed his words out through his teeth "so that just leaves me and theodore on earth?" there was a pause "...no, theadore defected, that is why they are refusing now, they think you'll crack too" he was fit to scream now. "i understand, keep me updated" the box went dead.

Samuel looked between his captor and the bos then gave a sigh. "You and your crazy murderous politics. That is whhy I avoid the whole thing and I'm kind of surprised the UN even though about it. I mean, they have told me multiple times that I'm replaceable and I better not scrw up to bad. They may just be waiting for a bit of back up before blowing up these towers to get rid of us." He is just musing but he can't help but think of how it would feel to be blown up.

he quickly let go of the other when the man began talking "oh." he looked at the arm, the flesh was stark white but turning red and angry fast "you should listen to the news, towers are nothing but politics"

"Nah, there just bits of machines to me. Nasty politics for those who care." Samuel glanced down at his arms ands was surprised to see he had red marks where the other had gripped him. He have the other one a grin and said, "Carefull one of these days I might decide I like you abusing me." He ignored the part of himself that is indignant that he can't feel the pain.

he suppressed a shiver, there was something wrong about the other's lack of objection

When he saw the other one's uncomfortable look his grin got bigger. "What's wrong, Leslei?" He asked coyly.

he was tempted with threatening the other but he knew that would only make the situation worse so he said nothing

The other was not responding at all so Samuel got really close to him and stared him in his eyes. "Are you feeling okay?" He asked slightly worried for Leslie.

he lashed out instinctively as the other crossed his personal space. the man reeled from the force of his back hand.

Samuel was grinning even as blood trickled from his mouth from the force of the hit. "You hit very well." He complemented the other. "Care to try again?"

he pushed his hand to the bridge of his nose, he wanted to hit the man again for sure, wanted to push him to the floor and strangle him and burn the whole tower down while he was at it.instead he turned to the other "what is the point if you'll just enjoy it?"

Samuel shrugged, "You'll enjoy it too."

he felt something in him snap, he turned on the other and grabbed his shirt "what makes you think i am anything like you?!" he took up the other's wrist with his spare hand "what gives you any reason to say i want this?" he threw down the hand. "how dare you say i am as fucked up as you he pulled the other close and all but whispered "how could i possibly enjoy this?"

Samuel grinned before occupying his mouth with something much better then talking to the other. Maybe the other would get it now that they had kissed.

he was so wound up that it took him a moment to understand what was going on. he bit the intruding tongue but the other simply moaned into his mouth, he felt a dirty thrill run through his spine and could taste blood

Samuel felt the other shiver and felt some kind of glee in making the other understand. He knew they would everntually need to breath but for now he was happy kissing Lesilie and teaching him to enjoy Samuel's pain.

he drew away for a breath spitting blood as he did so "this does not make me like you" he felt compelled to say it even as he saw the fallacy in his words. the other grinned "maybe, you like to injure and posses me, but i think you are still like me. prove me wrong?" he growled and pushed the other down on the floor

He grinned and took the challenge. Quickly he had the other down on top of him and had his toungue back in Leslie's mouth. If what Samuel believed was true to other would either try to control the kiss or reject it compltely.

it was a challenge to pull away the second time "nngh, gah, quit, trying to make me want this" he gulped trying to catch his breath the other said nothing, he simply flashed a grin and reclaimed leslie's lips. he felt the other squirm underneath him and he responded in kind letting the other know of his own growing desire. he pulled away again and whispered in the other's ear "as long as i can stop we are not the same" he nipped the other man's neck and pulled away completely. he lifted himself from the floor and took a wobbly step towards the door before striding off. he had no worries of the other doing anything suspect now

Samuel's head hit the floor with a thump. He had a grin on his face that clearly said something was damaged in his head. "I told you that you'd like it, Leslie." He had felt the other fight his desire to have Samuel; time was all it took to weather concreate.
