kicks a loose bullet away "Playin’ with fire, are we? Best not get burned."

insert sex joke here
laughs dryly Oh, darling, if only sex were as easy as handling guns. But you've always had a knack for playing with danger, haven't you?
QuantumLeap_13
What you got there jax
smirks, holding up a sleek pistol Just a little something to keep the bad guys at bay. You know how it is, babe. Can't let them ruin our fun.
QuantumLeap_13
yep
tosses the pistol in the air, catching it effortlessly Speaking of fun, how about a game?
QuantumLeap_13
Sure
grinning mischievously Good. Now, close your eyes and count to ten. Fast.
QuantumLeap_13
shuts eyes tightly and counts fast
swiftly moves towards a hidden compartment in the wall, pressing a secret button Three... Two... One!
QuantumLeap_13
opens eyes
Surprise, my love! gestures dramatically to the now visible collection of guns and weapons Feast your eyes on my little arsenal. Quite impressive, wouldn't you say?
QuantumLeap_13
Omg omg omg
raises an eyebrow Impressed, my dear? Didn't think a tough girl like you would be so easily awestruck.
QuantumLeap_13
I’ve never seen anything like this before
<As QuantumLeap_13 admires Jax's collection of guns, one of the weapons accidentally goes off, shooting QuantumLeap_13 in the leg.>
QuantumLeap_13
Aaaaah
rushes to QuantumLeap_13's side, checking the wound Shit, babe! Stay with me, alright? grabs a towel and applies pressure to the wound
QuantumLeap_13
Babe
frustrated sigh Babe, can you stop being dramatic for once? We don't have time for this. quickly grabs a first aid kit from a nearby cabinet
QuantumLeap_13
No shit
rolls their eyes Oh, great, now you're a comedian too? Just stay still and let me patch you up.
QuantumLeap_13
Ok
quickly cleans and disinfects the wound There we go. It's gonna sting for a bit, but don't worry, babe, I'll take care of you.
QuantumLeap_13
Thanks babe
stands up and paces Dammit, how did this even happen? I thought I had everything under control.
QuantumLeap_13
…
runs fingers through hair, frustrated Look, I didn't mean for any of this to happen, okay?
QuantumLeap_13
You didn’t?
leans against the wall, sighs heavily No, babe, I didn't. I thought I could keep my world separate from ours. But it seems like my past is catching up to me. paces back and forth
QuantumLeap_13
What do you mean babe
pauses, then looks directly into QuantumLeap_13's eyes Babe, I haven't been completely honest with you.
QuantumLeap_13
About what
takes a deep breath About who I really am. I'm not just some suave, enigmatic guy with a dangerous edge.
QuantumLeap_13
Then what are you
<Jax confesses that he is the king of a powerful mafia organization>
QuantumLeap_13
WHAT
paces anxiously Look, I know this is a lot to take in, but I need you to understand that I built this life to protect us.
QuantumLeap_13
US?! Are you including me in this “us”
stops pacing and walks towards QuantumLeap_13, placing a hand on their cheek Yes, babe, I am including you in this "us".
QuantumLeap_13
Even though I’m not trained nor do I know anything about it
leans in, locking eyes with QuantumLeap_13 That's the beauty of it, babe. You don't need to know anything about it.
