Chapter 1: What Happens in Vegas...
第 1 章 ：拉斯维加斯发生的事情......

Chapter Text

Shaw walked out of the bathroom roughly towel drying her dark hair, ignoring the agitation it caused her throbbing headache. It had been a long time since she had woken up with a hangover that she could feel in every bone of her body, it didn’t help that she had found herself passed out on the cold tiles of the lavish bathroom floor either, where she had momentarily found herself unable to place where she was. But the moment she pulled herself to her feet, and caught sight of her dishevelled reflection in the mirror it all came flooding back. Las Vegas. The number. The drinking after the number was safe.
Shaw 从浴室里走出来，粗暴地用毛巾擦干她的黑发，无视它引起的她悸动的头痛。她已经很久没有醒来了，宿醉的感觉在她身体的每一根骨头都能感觉到，她发现自己昏倒在豪华浴室地板的冰冷瓷砖上也无济于事，她暂时发现自己无法安置在原地。但当她站起来，看到镜子里她凌乱的倒影时，一切都涌了回来。拉斯维加斯。数字。号码后的饮酒是安全的。

Feeling her stomach growl Shaw decided food was the best next step, but as she turned the corner she realised she was not alone in the ridiculously large penthouse suite of the hotel. Root was asleep, spread out across the king sized bed, butt naked, a sheet tangled around her legs.
Shaw 感到肚子咕咕叫，决定食物是最好的下一步，但当她转过拐角时，她意识到在酒店大得离谱的顶楼套房里，她并不孤单。Root 睡着了，躺在特大号床上，裸露着屁股，床单缠在她的腿上。

Shaw’s jaw fell open as she stared at Root from a safe distance.
Shaw 的下巴张大了，她从安全距离盯着 Root。

Root she thought, of course Root is here, she came with me. But the agreement had been separate rooms, which only meant one thing. Root had decided to stay over, or this wasn’t her room. Shaking her head Shaw decided food was still the best option, either that, or she would go and find a bottle of whiskey. But as she took a step her foot met with several empty champagne bottles which clattered over at full volume.
Root ，她想， Root 当然在这里，她和我一起来了。  但协议是单独的房间，这只意味着一件事。鲁特决定留下来，否则这里不是她的房间。摇摇头，Shaw 决定食物仍然是最好的选择，要么这样，要么她就去找一瓶威士忌。但当她迈出一步时，她的脚碰到了几个空的香槟瓶，这些瓶子哐当一声响了起来。

Rolling her eyes, she quickly stepped around them and tried to tip toe away from Root before she woke up, but she was too late.
她翻了个白眼，迅速绕过他们，试图在她醒来之前踮起脚尖远离 Root，但她已经太晚了。

“Hey, Sameen” Root’s voice mumbled from the bed and Shaw desperately tried not to turn around.
“嘿，Sameen”Root 的声音从床上喃喃自语，Shaw 拼命试图不转身。

“Root” she replied in acknowledgement but continued to make her way towards the bar. Shaw dug around the mini fridge for anything that wasn’t alcoholic settling on a packet of M&M’s shovelling several into her mouth and staring out the window at the view of Vegas.
“Root，”她回答道以示感谢，但继续向吧台走去。Shaw 在迷你冰箱里翻找任何不含酒精的东西，在一包 M&M 上沉淀下来，把几个铲进嘴里，盯着窗外的拉斯维加斯景色。

“You’re not gonna share?” Root’s voice came from behind her and by complete habit she spun around, immediately being confronted with Root’s willowy figure wrapped in nothing but a sheet.
“你不打算分享吗？”Root 的声音从她身后传来，她完全习惯性地转过身来，立即面对着 Root 那只裹着床单的柳树般的身影。

Shaw stared at her for a moment in disbelief. “Put some clothes on.” was all she could think of saying and of course that only made Root smirk.
Shaw 难以置信地盯着她看了一会儿。“穿上衣服。”这是她唯一能想到的话，当然，这只让 Root 得意地笑了笑。

“Why? Is it bothering you, Sameen? It’s nothing you haven’t seen before” she responded, toying with the layer of the sheet that fell down the middle of her body.
“为什么？这让你感到困扰吗，Sameen？这不是你以前没见过的，“她回答道，一边玩弄着从她身体中间掉下来的那层床单。

“It’s not bothering me” Shaw snapped, “we’re out of food and I’m starving.” She forced herself to look away from Root, annoyed that the hacker could still look so good when she was so obviously hungover.
“这并不困扰我，”Shaw 厉声说，“我们没饭了，我饿了。她强迫自己把目光从 Root 身上移开，对这个黑客在她如此明显的宿醉中看起来还能这么好看而感到恼火。

“Are you asking me to breakfast?” Root’s annoyingly chipper voice asked from behind her.
“你请我吃早餐吗？”Root 恼人而尖锐的声音从她身后问道。

“No, I’m telling you I’m going, and if you want to come I’m pretty sure there’s a rule against showing up in a sheet” Shaw said ditching the pack of m&ms and hunting around for her jacket.
“不，我告诉你我要去了，如果你想来，我很确定有规定不能出现在床单上，”Shaw 说，扔掉了 m&ms 的包，四处寻找她的夹克。

“Why are you so grouchy Sam? We had a good time last night” Root said dropping the sheet in the middle of the floor as she began following the trail of her clothes back towards the bed.
“你怎么这么脾气暴躁，山姆？我们昨晚玩得很开心，“Root 说着，把床单丢在地板中间，开始顺着衣服的痕迹回到床上。

“Enlighten me” Shaw said still searching for her jacket.
“开导我，”Shaw 说，仍在寻找她的夹克。

“You don’t remember?” Root called out.
“你不记得了？”鲁特喊道。

“And you do?”
“你呢？”

“Well, actually no, not really” Root shrugged as she remerged buttoning up her jeans with Shaw’s jacket under her arm. “But I woke up naked and you’re hungover so it must have been good” she smiled and held the jacket open for Shaw, who gruffly snatched it off her and tugged it on as she marched towards the door.
“嗯，其实不，不是真的，”Root 耸了耸肩，她重新整理了一下牛仔裤的扣子，胳膊下夹着 Shaw 的夹克。“但我醒来时赤身裸体，你宿醉了，所以一定很好，”她微笑着，把夹克打开给 Shaw，Shaw 粗鲁地从她身上抢过来，在她向门口走去时拉上它。

“I thought we talked about this Root” Shaw said waiting for her at the door as Root hopped towards the door pulling on her boots.
“我以为我们谈过这个 Root，”Shaw 说，在门口等她，Root 拉着靴子跳向门口。

“Talked about what, sweetie?”
“谈了什么，亲爱的？”

“The sex thing” Shaw said aggressively tapping the elevator button.
“性爱的事情，”Shaw 咄咄逼人地敲打着电梯按钮。

“You mean, the sex thing that we’ve being doing for the past six months?” Root smirked as the doors dinged open and they both got in.
“你是说，我们过去六个月一直在做的性爱？”当门叮当一声打开时，Root 得意地笑了笑，他们俩都进了车。

“Yes, we’re done with that” Shaw said staring vacantly at the carpeted wall.
“是的，我们已经说完了，”Shaw 茫然地盯着铺有地毯的墙壁说。

“I’m not so sure about that Sam” Root said, the lift stopping as more people got in. “I mean I’m feeling a little sore from last night, which means we’re obviously not done”
“我不太确定那个山姆，”鲁特说，随着更多的人进来，电梯停了下来。“我的意思是，昨晚我感觉有点酸痛，这意味着我们显然还没有结束”

Shaw glared at her. “We’re done.”
Shaw 瞪着她。“我们完成了。”

“It’s okay to be scared, Sam” Root continued, completely oblivious to the other people that were piling into the elevator at every stop. “I mean just having sex with someone for six months is kind of crazy, and I know you don’t do feelings like everyone else but we don’t have to stop if you don’t want to, I enjoy it, I think it’s good for us”
“害怕没关系，山姆，”鲁特继续说道，完全没有注意到每个站点都涌入电梯的其他人。“我的意思是，仅仅和某人发生性关系六个月就有点疯狂了，我知道你不会像其他人那样做感情，但如果你不想，我们不必停下来，我喜欢它，我认为这对我们有好处。”

Shaw avoided looking at the small crowd of people who were glancing between herself and Root with wide eyes.
Shaw 避免看那一小群人，他们睁大了眼睛在自己和 Root 之间扫视。

“And besides, we’re perfect for each other” Root shrugged nonchalantly. “I have a headache” she said less than a few seconds later and pouted.
“而且，我们是彼此的完美选择”Root 漫不经心地耸耸肩。“我头疼，”不到几秒钟后，她说，然后撅着嘴。

Thankfully for Shaw they finally reached the lobby floor and she practically bowled the others out of the way to escape the confined space, taking quick steps trying to walk faster than Root. But Root’s long fucking legs caught up with her in no time and she could feel the dark eyes looking at her.
值得庆幸的是，Shaw 终于到达了大厅地板，她几乎把其他人挡开了，逃离了狭窄的空间，快步试图比 Root 走得更快。但 Root 他妈的长腿很快就追上了她，她能感觉到那双黑眼睛看着她。

“Sameen,” Root said and Shaw fixed her stare onto the restaurant that was rapidly approaching.
“Sameen，”Root 说，Shaw 盯着那家迅速逼近的餐厅。

“It’s too early for this, Root” Shaw muttered.
“现在还为时过早，Root，”Shaw 咕哝道。

“It’s never the right time for you” Root said folding her arms across her chest and stalking along beside Shaw.
“现在永远不是适合你的时间，”Root 说，双臂交叉在胸前，大步走到 Shaw 身边。

“Maybe I just don’t want to talk about it,” Shaw commented and Root glared at her. “In an elevator full of people” Shaw added and Root rolled her eyes.
“也许我只是不想谈论这件事，”Shaw 评论道，Root 瞪了她一眼。“在满是人的电梯里，”Shaw 补充道，Root 翻了个白眼。

“It’s none of their business, Sam” Root said.
“这不关他们的事，山姆，”鲁特说。

“Look, Root” Shaw came to a stop and faced Root. “We had sex for several months, and now we don’t, what is so hard to understand about that?”
“听着，Root”Shaw 停了下来，面对着 Root。“我们做了几个月的性生活，现在我们没有了，这有什么难理解的？”

Root stared at her for a moment, words playing around on her tongue as she carefully chose what to say whilst Shaw stared at her the way she always did especially after they had just had sex, there was something different about the way they looked.
鲁特盯着她看了一会儿，当她小心翼翼地选择要说什么时，她的舌头上叽叽喳喳地玩弄着话语，而肖则像往常一样盯着她看，尤其是在他们刚刚做爱之后，他们的样子有些不同。

“I just think there’s more to it than that” Root shrugged as if it wasn’t bothering her.
“我只是觉得事情不止于此，”Root 耸耸肩，仿佛这并没有打扰她。

“There’s not” Shaw said, “Now can we eat without you harassing me about this or should I take you back and duct tape you to a chair upstairs?”
“没有，”Shaw 说，“现在我们能不能不用你就这件事骚扰我吃饭了，还是我应该带你回去，把你绑在楼上的椅子上？

Root quirked an eyebrow and Shaw just rolled her eyes storming off into the restaurant. Root was close behind her and they sat down at a table without saying another word to each other. They stayed in silence until they ordered, and avoided looking at each other until their food arrived, even though Shaw felt Root’s eyes grazing across her when she thought Shaw wasn’t looking. She hated feeling like she was letting Root down, but this had never been anything other than a sex arrangement. They had both agreed to that, but now something inside her churned when she looked at Root who was so clearly bothered by their arrangement.
Root 皱起眉毛，Shaw 只是翻了个白眼，气冲冲地走进了餐厅。鲁特紧跟在她身后，他们在一张桌子旁坐下，彼此没有再说一句话。他们一直保持沉默，直到点菜，在食物上来之前避免看对方，即使 Shaw 觉得 Root 的眼睛在她身上擦过，但她认为 Shaw 没有在看。她讨厌让 Root 失望的感觉，但这从来都不是性安排。他们俩都同意了，但现在当她看着显然对他们的安排感到困扰的鲁特时，她内心的某个东西在搅动。

She looked at Root who was reaching across the table with her fork to stab a piece of bacon off Shaw’s plate and suddenly she saw it. Everything inside her stopped for a moment. Then suddenly her arm shot out and grabbed Root’s wrist with a steel grip.
她看着 Root，Root 正用叉子伸手穿过桌子，从 Shaw 的盘子里捅了一块培根，突然她看到了它。她体内的一切都停止了一会儿。然后突然，她的手臂伸出，用钢制的握把抓住了 Root 的手腕。

“Ouch” Root gasped wiggling her wrist around trying to release it. “Sam it’s just one piece…” but her voice trailed off as she saw what Shaw was staring at.
“哎哟，”Root 喘着粗气，扭动着手腕，试图松开它。“山姆，这只是一块......”但当她看到 Shaw 盯着的东西时，她的声音渐渐低了下来。

“What is this?” Shaw asked unable to move her eyes off the sparkling ring that had taken up residency on Root’s wedding finger. “Root!” Shaw insisted when Root said nothing.
“这是什么？”Shaw 问道，她的视线无法从 Root 结婚手指上那枚闪闪发光的戒指上移开。“根！”当鲁特什么也没说时，肖坚持说。

“I don’t know” Root said softly pulling her wrist away as Shaw’s grip loosened. “I was going to ask you about that.”
“我不知道，”Root 轻声说，在 Shaw 松开时将她的手腕拉开。“我本来想问你这件事的。”

“About why you suddenly have a wedding ring on your finger? Because I sure as shit have never seen that before” Shaw said staring at Root.
“关于你为什么突然在手指上戴上了结婚戒指？因为我肯定以前从来没有见过，“Shaw 盯着 Root 说。

“Well, you don’t have one” Root said, “So, I don’t know who I married.”
“嗯，你没有，”鲁特说，“所以，我不知道我嫁给了谁。

Okay so I apparently need to desperately apologise for any confusion people had around when this fic is set (downside of writing in the middle of the night when you've taken a million antibiotics) this is in the earliest stages of their relationship, i'm literally just writing it a different way... that's why we're all here. Y'all can chill.

Chapter Text

“You didn’t marry anyone, this is Vegas” Shaw tried to shrug it off as she picked up her cutlery and focused on her food. A dull ache still throbbing in the back of her head.
“你没  嫁  给任何人，这里是拉斯维加斯”Shaw 试图耸耸肩，拿起她的餐具，专注于她的食物。一阵钝痛仍在她的后脑勺跳动。

“Actually, Shaw…” Root started but Shaw cut her off.
“其实，肖......”鲁特开始说话，但肖打断了她。

“Can you just eat?” Shaw said not knowing why she was being so defensive all of a sudden.
“你能吃东西吗？”Shaw 说，不知道她为什么突然如此防备。

They remained quiet through the rest of their meal, Shaw being unable to help but glance at the shimmering rock that was on Root’s finger, wondering whether she was going to have to kill some poor bastard over this.
他们在剩下的饭菜中保持沉默，Shaw 忍不住瞥了一眼 Root 手指上闪闪发光的石头，想知道她是否要为此杀死一个可怜的混蛋。

They stood up to leave and Shaw fished in her pocket for some money to drop on the table but her knuckle grazed something hard, quickly wrapping her hand around it she slowly withdrew it from her pocket, her blood running cold as she opened her palm and saw a golden band with a tiny glinting rock in the middle of it. Grabbing Root by the arm roughly she pulled her back.
他们站起来准备离开，Shaw 在口袋里掏出一些钱放在桌子上，但她的指关节擦过了什么坚硬的东西，迅速用手缠住它，慢慢地从口袋里掏出它，当她张开手掌看到一条金色的带子时，她的血液流了下来，中间有一块闪闪发光的小石头。她粗暴地抓住 Root 的手臂，把她拉了回来。

“Root” she said staring at the ring in her palm like it was some unknown object.
“根，”她说，盯着手心的戒指，仿佛是某个未知的物体。

Root lifted an eyebrow then caught sight of the ring, and felt a smile twitch at the corners of her mouth and the slightest feeling of relief leave her body.
Root 抬起眉毛，然后看到了戒指，感觉到她的嘴角抽搐着一丝微笑，一丝如释重负的感觉离开了她的身体。

“Oh, well would ya look at that” she said dropping some money on the table and walking off.
“哦，你看看那个，”她说，把一些钱丢在桌子上，然后走开了。

Shaw looked up and watched Root leave, she quickly slipped the ring halfway down her index finger and pushed a couple of people out of the way to keep up with Root.
Shaw 抬起头，看着 Root 离开，她迅速将戒指滑到食指的一半，并将几个人推开以跟上 Root。

“That’s it?” Shaw called out and Root didn’t stop or turn around, Shaw just kept chasing her through a maze of slot machines.
“就这样？”Shaw 喊道，Root 没有停下来或转身，Shaw 只是在迷宫般的老虎机中继续追赶她。

“You want to talk now is that it?” Root said eventually spinning around and Shaw slammed straight into her chest.
“你现在想谈谈，是吗？”Root 说，最终转过身来，Shaw 直接撞上了她的胸膛。

“This is different than just sex, Root” Shaw said holding up her index finger and waving the ring in front of Root’s face.
“这和性不一样，Root，”Shaw 说着，举起食指，在 Root 的脸前挥舞着戒指。

“That’s not the right finger” Root pointed out, “but you are right, it’s more than sex now, it’s breakfast, lunch, and dinner and sex, it’s feelings and sex, it’s hey sweetie how was your day and sex, but more realistically it’s divorce and feeling weirdly uncomfortable when we try and have sex”
“那不是右指，”鲁特指出，“但你是对的，现在不仅仅是性，还有早餐、午餐、晚餐和性爱，还有感情和性爱，嘿，亲爱的， 你的一天和性生活怎么样，但更现实的是，当我们尝试做爱时，你会感到奇怪的不舒服。

Shaw frowned and folded her arms across her chest. “You think we can just stay married? You’re out of your mind”
Shaw 皱着眉头，双臂交叉在胸前。“你觉得我们可以继续结婚吗？你疯了”

“Now isn’t the time to discuss my sanity, Sam” Root said tucking a strand of hair behind her ear and turning around to keep walking.
“现在不是讨论我的理智的时候，山姆，”鲁特说，把一缕头发掖到耳后，转身继续走。

“Root, c’mon, stop” Shaw said reaching out to grab her arm but missing and catching her hand instead. They both paused for a brief moment before Shaw pulled her back.
“Root，来吧，停下来，”Shaw 说，伸手想抓住她的手臂，但没有抓住她的手。他们俩都停顿了一会儿，然后 Shaw 把她拉了回来。

“This might not even be legit, shouldn’t we at least find that out first before throwing around the D word”
“这甚至可能不合法，我们难道不应该至少在抛出 D 词之前先弄清楚吗”

“The D word?” Root said with a small smirk and Shaw felt somewhat better that she had managed to get Root to smile.
“D 字？”Root 微微一笑说，Shaw 觉得自己成功地让 Root 微笑了些。

Chapter 3: The Happy Couple
第 3 章 ：幸福的夫妇

Chapter Text

As they walked down the road Root was hyper aware of the proximity between herself and Shaw, occasionally their arms would bump together and Root would surreptitiously glance at Shaw but nothing more became of it. Their arms always bumped when they walked together, it was nothing new, it’s just that now…ugh. Never mind. Root shoved her hands in her pockets as they stopped outside a wedding chapel.
当他们走在路上时，Root 非常清楚自己和 Shaw 之间的距离，偶尔他们的手臂会碰在一起，Root 会偷偷地瞥一眼 Shaw，但什么也没发生。他们一起走路时总是碰到手臂，这并不是什么新鲜事，只是现在......呸。没关系。当他们停在婚礼教堂外时，鲁特把手塞进了口袋里。

“Chapel of Love?” Shaw rolled her eyes then looked at Root. “Do you have a receipt or something?
“爱的教堂？”Shaw 翻了个白眼，然后看向 Root。“你有收据什么的吗？

Root stared at her incredulously. “A receipt? For our marriage? You want a refund Shaw? Or an exchange god forbid”
鲁特难以置信地盯着她。“收据？为了我们的婚姻？你想退款吗，Shaw？或者是上帝禁止的交换”

“I mean, I was meant to come on this trip with Reese” Shaw shrugged and felt Root shooting daggers at her. “That was a joke…”
“我的意思是，我本来是要和里斯一起来的，”肖耸耸肩，感觉到鲁特向她射出匕首。“那是个笑话......”

“Oh you’re feeling funny now, Sameen?” Root purposefully turned her body to face away from Shaw and stared at the chapel.
“哦，你现在感觉好笑吗，Sameen？”鲁特故意把身体转过来，背对着肖，盯着教堂。

“What am I meant to do Root, you look like you’re about to go to a funeral” Shaw said looking at Root’s back. Root stayed silent, pretending to sulk. Shaw sighed and started to walk towards the door. “Fuck it,  I’m going in…coming?” She held the door open for Root who stood glued to her spot for a moment longer before marching over to Shaw and breezing past her through the door.
“我该怎么做，鲁特，你看起来就像要去参加葬礼一样，”肖看着鲁特的背影说。鲁特保持沉默，假装生闷气。Shaw 叹了口气，开始向门口走去。“操他妈的，   我要进去......来了吗？她为 Root 开了门，Root 又在原地站了一会儿，然后走到 Shaw 身边，从门口轻快地从她身边经过。

“Thank you, wife” she commented and Shaw froze, one foot in one foot out of the chapel as that word rung through her head, before snapping herself out of it. Facts first, she reminded herself, along with the 8000th reminder to never come to Vegas ever again with any intention of touching alcohol.
“谢谢你，  妻子 ，”她评论道，Shaw 愣住了，当这个词在她脑海中响起时，一只脚伸出教堂，然后她自己从教堂中跳了出来。首先，她提醒自己，以及第 8000 次提醒，永远不要再带着任何接触酒精的意图来拉斯维加斯。

“Can I help you?” A voice called out from the office and a short man appeared with a large smile on his face. “Oh it’s the happy couple!” he exclaimed once he saw them.
“我能帮你吗？”一个声音从办公室里传来，一个矮个子男人出现，脸上挂着灿烂的笑容。“哦，这是一对幸福的夫妇！”

Shaw and Root both looked at each other then back at the man.
Shaw 和 Root 都互相看了看，然后又看向那个男人。

“Happy’s a stretch” Root mumbled under her breath and Shaw sent an elbow into her ribs and she let out a small “ooof”.
“快乐了，”Root 低声喃喃自语，Shaw 用肘部打了她的肋骨，她发出了一声小小的“哎呀”。

“We just wanted to confirm,” Shaw said her eyes dragging around the ridiculously decorated chapel, “That we got married, here, last night”
“我们只是想确认一下，”Shaw 说，她的眼睛在装饰荒谬的教堂里四处扫视，“我们昨晚在这里结婚了。

“Well of course you did!” the man exclaimed “And what a wedding it was too, best all season if you ask me.”
“嗯，你当然知道了！”那人叫道，“那也是一场多么精彩的婚礼，如果你问我的话，整个季节都是最好的。

“We didn’t” Shaw muttered. “Do you have…a piece of paper or something, any proof?”
“我们没有，”Shaw 咕哝道。“你有......一张纸什么的，有什么证据吗？

“Better than that” he grinned “I have the video”
“比那更好，”他咧嘴一笑，“我有视频”

“The video?” Root piped up, her eyes suddenly wide.
“视频？”鲁特喘着粗气，突然睁大了眼睛。

“Yeah, come into my office I’ll show you” he said with a enthused skip in his step as he disappeared into the office. Shaw followed behind him and Root followed her. He pulled it up on his laptop and they gathered around it.
“是的，到我的办公室来，我带你去，”他说，一边兴奋地迈着脚步，消失在办公室里。Shaw 跟在他后面，Root 跟在她后面。他把照片放在笔记本电脑上，他们围在一起。

Shaw immediately felt like smashing the screen as she was confronted with the image of her with a stupid miniature white veil pinned to her messy ponytail. How did she have absolutely no recollection of this happening? As soon as he pressed play she felt her breath catch in her throat.
Shaw 立即想砸碎屏幕，因为她面对的是她的形象，她凌乱的马尾辫上别着一个愚蠢的微型白色面纱。她怎么对这件事完全没有记忆呢？他一按下播放键，她就感到自己的呼吸卡在了喉咙里。

“I vows,” Root drunkenly slurred with a dumb grin plastered on her face. She had been wearing a bigger veil, and had a very large white t-shirt that read “I HEART VEGAS” printed across it as a makeshift wedding dress. “That I will kiss your forehead when you’re angry, and inappropriately flirt with you at work, annnnnnd not get mad when you hog the covers.”
“我发誓，”鲁特醉醺醺地含糊不清，脸上挂着哑巴的笑容。她戴着更大的面纱，穿着一件非常大的白色 T 恤，上面印着“I HEART VEGAS”，是一件临时的婚纱。“当你生气的时候，我会亲吻你的额头，在工作中不恰当地和你调情，当你掀起被子的时候，我不会生气的。

Shaw’s throat felt dry as she pretended to look around the room whilst quickly glancing at Root’s who’s eyes were fixated on the computer. Shaw looked back at the screen looking at the horrifically drunk, yet oddly adorable and giddy versions of themselves that were swaying at the alter, holding on to each others arms mostly to keep themselves upright. She wasn’t angry. There wasn’t an ounce of anger in her body as she watched them.
Shaw 的喉咙感到干燥，她假装环顾房间，同时快速瞥了一眼眼睛盯着电脑的 Root。Shaw 回头看向屏幕，看着那些喝得酩酊大醉，但又奇怪可爱又头晕目眩的自己，它们在另一个人面前摇晃着，紧紧抓住彼此的手臂，主要是为了保持自己的直立。她没有生气。当她看着他们时，她的身体里没有一丝愤怒。

“Shhh, it’smyturn” Shaw’s voice said from the screen, her words all ran together, she held a finger up to Root’s face. “I vow that I will always ask before eating the last slice of pizza, and that I will always show up to a fight even if you don’t ask me to”
“嘘，轮到我了”Shaw 的声音从屏幕上说，她的话都汇合在一起，她将一根手指举到 Root 的脸上。“我发誓，在吃最后一片披萨之前，我总是会问，即使你不要求我，我也会一直出现在战斗中。”

“Well, I now pronounce you wife and wife” the smiling priest said, who was also the very same man that was sitting in front of them now. “You may kiss th-”
“好吧，我现在宣布你是妻子和妻子，”面带微笑的牧师说，他也是现在坐在他们面前的同一个人。“你可以亲吻你——”

He didn’t get a chance to finish his sentence before Shaw had wrapped her arm around Root’s waist and closed the gap between them and kissing her deeply.
他还没来得及把话说完，Shaw 就用胳膊搂住了 Root 的腰，拉近了他们之间的距离，深深地吻了她。

Shaw glanced away at this part of the video and saw that Root had done the same, she was vacantly staring at one of the framed wedding photos on the wall. Shaw looked back at the screen and saw herself still making out with Root. Then suddenly her drunken self pulled away from her new bride and yelled “WAIT, do we get the dog?” at the priest.
Shaw 瞥了一眼视频的这一部分，发现 Root 也做了同样的事情，她茫然地盯着墙上的一张装裱好的婚纱照。Shaw 回头看向屏幕，发现自己仍然在 Root 亲热。然后突然，她醉醺醺的自己从她的新娘身边拉开，对牧师大喊：“等等，我们能找到狗吗？

Root scoffed from where she was now standing on the far side of the office and Shaw rolled her eyes, pushing his laptop shut. “Okay, so we’re married.”
Root 从她现在站在办公室另一边的地方嘲笑起来，Shaw 翻了个白眼，推开了他的笔记本电脑。“好的，所以我们结婚了。”

“I have to say” the smiling guy said, “I thought you two would be thrilled, you seem perfect for each other…in some weird, kinda dodgy way”
“我不得不说，”那个微笑的家伙说，“我以为你们俩会很激动，你们看起来彼此都很完美......以某种奇怪的、有点狡猾的方式”

Shaw stared at him and Root just looked away.
Shaw 盯着他看，Root 只是把目光移开了。

“I’m feeling kind of sick” she said quietly, “I’m going back to the hotel” and with that she was suddenly gone, leaving Shaw staring the empty place where she had just been standing.
“我感觉有点不舒服，”她轻声说，“我要回酒店了”，说完她突然就走了，留下 Shaw 盯着她刚才站着的空地。

“Shouldn’t you go after her, Mrs Groves? You know…through sickness and health and all?” the guy said and Shaw slowly turned to face him.
“你不应该去找她吗，格罗夫斯太太？你知道的。。。通过疾病和健康等等？“那家伙说，Shaw 慢慢地转过身来面对他。

“Mrs Groves?” the words slid out from her gritted teeth.
“格罗夫斯太太？”这句话从她咬牙切齿的牙缝中滑出。

“Yes” the guy suddenly looked nervous.
“是的，”那家伙突然显得紧张起来。

Shaw exhaled loudly, “You let me take her name?”
Shaw 大声呼出一口气，“你让我  取她的名字 ？

“It was your idea ma’am” he said holding his hands up and taking a step back.
“这是你的主意，马，”他说，举起双手，后退一步。

“It would never be my idea” she said.
“这绝不是  我的主意，”她说。

“Sameen and Samantha Groves has a pretty nice ring to it,” he shrugged and Shaw just rolled her eyes.
“Sameen 和 Samantha Groves 的戒指相当不错，”他耸耸肩，Shaw 只是翻了个白眼。

“Keep talking and I’ll kill you” she said and he looked momentarily terrified before he realised that she too was now gone.
“继续说，我会杀了你，”她说，他看起来有一瞬间的恐惧，然后他意识到她现在也已经走了。

Chapter 4: Root Discomfort
第 4 章 ：发根不适

Chapter Text

When Shaw got back to the hotel room she expected to find Root curled up somewhere asleep, but instead she was greeted with emptiness. Root wasn’t here. Shaw stood in the middle of the room wishing Root would just sneak up behind her and make some stupid flirtatious joke that she could deflect and roll her eyes at. But instead she left too. Walking down the hallway to where the security camera was and staring up at it, wanting to kick herself for what she was about to do.
当 Shaw 回到酒店房间时，她本以为会发现 Root 蜷缩在某个地方睡着了，但迎接她的却是空虚。Root 不在这里。Shaw 站在房间中央，希望 Root 能偷偷溜到她身后，开一些愚蠢的调情玩笑，让她可以转移注意力并翻白眼。但她也离开了。她沿着走廊走到监控摄像头所在的地方，盯着它看，想为她即将做的事情踢自己一脚。

“Where is she?” Shaw demanded staring at the little red flashing light. “I need to know.”
“她在哪里？”Shaw 盯着闪烁的红色小灯问道。“我需要知道。”

Minutes later Shaw burst out of the overly air conditioned hotel into the blinding desert daylight of daytime Las Vegas, dodging packs of tourists and tipsy groups of barely legals she was practically at a run down the sidewalk. The sudden determination to find Root and see if she was okay did occur to her. This was new. Or was it. Everything was different with Root, it was like some kind of hardwired instinct that she didn’t seem to know how to control or react to.
几分钟后，Shaw 冲出空调过度的酒店，进入拉斯维加斯白天令人眼花缭乱的沙漠日光，躲避成群结队的游客和醉醺醺的勉强合法的团体，她几乎是在人行道上奔跑。她突然下定决心要找到 Root 看看她是否还好。这是新的。或者说是这样。Root 的一切都不同，这就像某种她似乎不知道如何控制或反应的根深蒂固的本能。

Shaw entered the Venetian jogging across the marbled floors, feeling like she had suddenly teleported to Italy, with the painted blue sky above her and the canals that ran through the hotel. She came to a holt when she finally saw Root sitting outside one of the cafes, she was wearing her glasses and her fingers were running around the edge of a whiskey glass. Shaw sat down in the chair in front of her and they looked at each other for a moment.
Shaw 在大理石地板上慢跑着进入威尼斯，感觉自己突然瞬移到了意大利，头顶上漆成蓝色的天空和穿过酒店的运河。当她终于看到 Root 坐在其中一家咖啡馆外面时，她来到了一个坑潭，她戴着眼镜，手指在威士忌杯的边缘滑来滑去。Shaw 在她面前的椅子上坐下，他们互相看了一会儿。

“You’re wearing your glasses” Shaw said and Root looked down at the table, she knew Shaw loved it when she wore them, and she wasn’t planning on telling her the only reason she had them on was that she lost her contacts at some point the previous night.
“你戴着眼镜，”Shaw 说，Root 低头看了看桌子，她知道 Shaw 戴眼镜很喜欢，她不打算告诉她，她戴眼镜的唯一原因是她在前一天晚上的某个时候失去了隐形眼镜。

Root looked at the canal that ran by where they sat. “I’m figuring this is as close to a honeymoon as we’re going to get” she said. Shaw took the glass of whiskey from Root’s fingers and took a sip.
鲁特看着他们坐的地方流过的运河。“我想这已经接近我们要去的蜜月了，”她说。Shaw 从 Root 的手指上接过一杯威士忌，啜了一口。

“I took your last name” Shaw said and looked at Root, who was finally looking back at her.
“我随你姓，”Shaw 说着，看着 Root，Root 终于回头看向她。

“Give it back,” Root said with a slightly playful smirk.
“还给它，”Root 带着略带俏皮的笑容说。

“Make me” Shaw answered and Root quirked her eyebrow as she reached forward, her finger grazing against Shaw’s on the glass as she pulled it back towards her.
“让我，”Shaw 回答道，Root 向前伸出手，眉毛一碰，她的手指在 Shaw 的玻璃上擦过，同时将它拉向自己。

“I meant the drink,” Root said with a smirk as she lifted it to her lips to take a sip without looking away from Shaw. As Shaw watched her closely she realised how much she liked having sex with Root, as soon as the glass hit the table she snapped out of it. “What are we gonna do, Root?” she asked, “this is not…a good idea”
“我是说那杯饮料，”Root 得意地笑着说，她把它举到嘴边啜了一口，没有把目光从 Shaw 身上移开。当 Shaw 仔细观察她时，她意识到她是多么喜欢与 Root 发生性关系，当玻璃杯碰到桌子时，她就从玻璃中跳了出来。“我们该怎么办，鲁特？” 她问道，“这不是......好主意”

“I think it’s past that, Sam” Root said, it was obvious that she was avoiding saying something, Shaw just didn’t know how to get her to tell. “We have to go back to New York in less than six hours, we’re officially married as this piece of paper proves, and there is no easy way out”
“我想已经过去了，山姆，”鲁特说，很明显她是在避免说什么，肖只是不知道怎么让她说出来。“我们必须在不到六个小时的时间内回到纽约，正如这张纸所证明的那样，我们已经正式结婚了，而且没有简单的出路。”

Shaw stared at the folded piece of paper that Root had slid onto the table, she knew it was their marriage certificate that Root had obviously taken from the chapel.
Shaw 盯着 Root 滑到桌子上的折叠纸，她知道这是 Root 显然从教堂拿走的他们的结婚证。

“When is the easy way out ever fun?” Shaw reminded Root who was looking at her in an adoring way with her soft brown eyes. Shaw swallowed hard a lump forming in her throat.
“简单的出路什么时候才有趣？”Shaw 提醒 Root，她正用她柔和的棕色眼睛以崇拜的方式看着她。Shaw 用力咽了口口水，喉咙里形成了一个肿块。

“Don’t look at me like that, Root”
“别那样看着我，Root”

“Like what?” Root asked her eyes following Shaw.
“比如什么？”鲁特问道，她的眼睛跟着肖。

“Like…” the rest of the words didn’t make their way out of her mouth, instead she just gestured at Root’s face and tried to get distracted by the people that were walking by. “We should go.”
“就像......”其余的话并没有从她的嘴里说出来，相反，她只是对着 Root 的脸做了个手势，试图让路过的人分心。“我们该走了。”

Shaw got to her feet, happy to change the subject to anything else. But Root was just as fast, on her feet with a hand holding onto Shaw’s arm stopping her from going anywhere.
Shaw 站了起来，很高兴地将话题转移到其他任何事情上。但 Root 的速度也一样快，她站起来，一只手抓住 Shaw 的手臂，阻止她去任何地方。

“No, finish that sentence” Root demanded, she was looking at Shaw with more intensity now and Shaw shifted on her feet feeling the ‘Root Discomfort’ as she called it. She was silent for a moment as she contemplated saying something different from what she had been thinking, but she knew Root could tell when she was lying, so instead she looked at the taller woman her face blank and said “Like I’m your everything.” As the words slid out into the space between their bodies she pulled her arm out of Root’s grip while she was still distracted. The brief thought of running crossed her mind but she had absolutely nowhere to run to.
“不，把那句话说完”Root 要求道，她现在更强烈地看着 Shaw，而 Shaw 则站了起来，感受到了她所说的“Root 不适”。她沉默了一会儿，考虑说出一些与她之前的想法不同的话，但她知道鲁特能看出她在撒谎，所以她反而看着那个高个子女人，脸上一片空白，说：“就像我是你的一切。当这些话滑入他们身体之间的空间时，她趁着自己还分心的时候，把手臂从 Root 的手中抽了出来。她短暂地想到了逃跑，但她绝对无处可逃。

“And, what if you are?” Root’s voice interrupted her thoughts and Shaw turned to face her. Shaw didn’t have any words for that one, all she could do was look at the other woman, look directly into her aggravatingly soft gaze.
“那么，如果你是呢？”Root 的声音打断了她的思绪，Shaw 转过身来面对她。Shaw 对那个人没有任何言语，她所能做的就是看着另一个女人，直视着她那令人恼火的柔和目光。

Root’s hand hesitantly hovered between them before she reached out to Shaw’s face and and gently touched the spot right by the bottom of her ear, letting her fingers stroke down her neck.
Root 的手犹豫地在他们之间徘徊，然后她伸手到 Shaw 的脸上，轻轻地触碰了她耳底的地方，让她的手指沿着她的脖子抚摸。

She stayed like that for a moment with her hand resting gently on the crook of Shaw’s neck, before closing the gap between their bodies. Root wasn’t moving fast like they usually did, Shaw had plenty of time to push her away, but suddenly she could feel Shaw’s breath on her face, their foreheads were touching, lips only millimetres apart. Shaw hadn’t gone anywhere. Root kissed her, it was slow and soft, she could taste the leftover whiskey on Shaw as she ran her tongue across her lip. Their lips pressed together firmly before slowly, slowly starting to part but only just enough for air to get between them, not that Root wanted it, her lips still grazing against Shaw’s. Then suddenly she felt Shaw’s hands on her hips, gripping her jacket pulling her as close as she could. She knew Shaw didn’t get that wild firework display of feelings that she often had in her stomach when they kissed, but such a tiny gesture made her feel so warm. Root tried to step even closer, and Shaw felt the edge of the table they had been sitting at press into the back of her legs. She kissed Root again nipping lightly at her bottom lip, enough to draw the tiniest spot of blood, before she licked it off and kissed Root on the corner of her mouth. She moved her hands up to Root’s sternum, knowing how dangerously close her fingers were to Root’s boobs, and then gently pushed the taller woman away from her, forcing her to take a step back.
她就这样呆了一会儿，手轻轻地放在 Shaw 的脖子弯上，然后拉近了他们身体之间的缝隙。Root 不像平时那样移动得很快，Shaw 有足够的时间把她推开，但突然她能感觉到 Shaw 的呼吸在她的脸上，他们的额头相触，嘴唇只相隔几毫米。Shaw 哪儿也没去。Root 亲吻了她，缓慢而柔软，当她用舌头滑过她的嘴唇时，她可以品尝到 Shaw 身上剩下的威士忌。他们的嘴唇紧紧地贴在一起，然后慢慢地，慢慢地开始分开，但只够空气进入他们之间，这不是 Root 想要的，她的嘴唇仍然在 Shaw 的嘴唇上擦过。然后突然她感觉到 Shaw 的手放在她的臀部上，抓住她的夹克，尽可能地把她拉得近。她知道 Shaw 没有像他们接吻时那样在肚子里经常表现出的那种狂野的烟火般的感情，但这样一个小小的举动让她感到如此温暖。Root 试图走得更近一些，Shaw 感觉到他们一直坐着的桌子边缘压在了她的腿后部。她再次亲吻 Root，轻轻地咬住她的下唇，足以吸出最微小的血点，然后她把它舔掉，亲吻了 Root 的嘴角。她将双手移到 Root 的胸骨上，知道自己的手指靠近 Root 的胸部有多么危险，然后轻轻地将高个子女人推开，迫使她后退一步。

“Feel more like a honeymoon now?” Shaw asked, trying to ignore the fact that kiss had been different from any kiss they had ever had.
“现在感觉更像蜜月了？”Shaw 问道，试图忽略一个事实，即这个吻与他们曾经的任何吻都不同。

“We’re getting there,” Root said sounding a little breathless, her eyes playfully glancing down to Shaw’s chest.
“我们快到了，”Root 说，听起来有点喘不过气来，她的眼睛顽皮地低头瞥了一眼 Shaw 的胸膛。

“Okay,” Shaw said rolling her eyes but feeling the corners of her mouth twitching upwards.
“好吧，”Shaw 说，翻了个白眼，但感觉她的嘴角向上抽搐。

**

“So we have a few hours left,” Shaw said as they walked back down the street to their hotel, “What do you want to do that doesn’t involve alcohol consumption?”
“所以我们还有几个小时，”当他们沿着街道走回他们的酒店时，Shaw 说，“你想做什么不涉及饮酒的事情？

“You” Root replied, her usual flirtatious smirk dancing across her face. Shaw shot her a glare and she let out a small laugh. “Well what’s the other option, Sam, we could get divorced?”
“你，”Root 回答道，她一贯的轻浮笑容在她的脸上跳舞。Shaw 瞪了她一眼，她发出了一声小笑。“那么，山姆，我们还有什么其他选择呢？”

Shaw sighed, “Why don’t we just stay away from both those things until we are less hungover”
Shaw 叹了口气，“我们为什么不远离这两件事，直到我们减少宿醉”

Root sighed even louder. “Great, now I’m stuck in a sexless marriage” she announced loud enough for several people to turn around.
鲁特叹息得更大声了。“太好了，现在我被困在无性的婚姻中了，”她大声宣布，足以让几个人转过身来。

“She won’t even divorce me” Root said to someone that was staring at them, Shaw pinched the side of Root’s arm hard, knowing it would leave a bruise.
“她甚至不会和我离婚”Root 对盯着他们的人说，Shaw 用力捏了捏 Root 的手臂侧面，知道这会留下瘀伤。

“Ouch, Sam” Root pouted.
“哎哟，山姆，”鲁特撅起嘴。

“Cut it out” Shaw said gruffly, “I’m just trying not to make this worse.”
“别说了，”Shaw 粗暴地说，“我只是想不让事情变得更糟。

“And what would worse be? Having fantastic sex for several hours before getting on a plane back to New York?” Root asked her face inches from Shaw’s.
“那会更糟糕的是什么呢？在登上返回纽约的飞机之前，进行了几个小时的美妙性爱？Root 问道，她的脸离 Shaw 的脸只有几英寸远。

“You can’t just go round consummating your marriage with the person you’re going to divorce” Shaw snapped and Root looked a little surprised.
“你不能就这样和你要离婚的人完成你的婚姻，”Shaw 厉声说，Root 看起来有点惊讶。

“Is that what this is about, Sam?” Root lifted an eyebrow with a small smile appearing on her face. “You don’t want to consummate our marriage?”
“这就是怎么回事吗，山姆？”鲁特扬起眉毛，脸上露出一丝微笑。“你不想  完成  我们的婚姻吗？”

It was the way she said consummate, the way she dragged it out across her tongue, letting it fill her mouth and the air between them that made Shaw want to throw her against the closest wall. And she didn’t even know in which way, to hurt her, or to pleasure her.
她用舌头把它拖出来，让它充满她的嘴巴和他们之间的空气，让 Shaw 想把她扔到最近的墙上。她甚至不知道以何种方式伤害她，或取悦她。

“And what if we’ve already had sex, Sameen?” Root asked her tongue dangerously running across the edges of her teeth.
“如果我们已经做爱了呢，Sameen？”Root 问道，她的舌头危险地划过她的牙齿边缘。

“Doesn’t count if I don’t remember it” Shaw said folding her arms. Root couldn’t help but smile and Shaw purposefully didn’t look at her.
“如果我不记得了，那就不算了，”Shaw 说，双臂交叉。鲁特忍不住笑了，而肖故意不看她。

“Can I ask you something?” Root asked.
“我能问你一件事吗？”鲁特问道。

“I don’t feel like I have a choice” Shaw replied.
“我觉得我别无选择，”Shaw 回答道。

“Can I hold your hand?” Root bit her lip, “Just until we leave.”
“我可以握住你的手吗？”Root 咬了咬嘴唇，“就在我们离开之前。

Shaw looked at her, there wasn’t one particular expression on her face that Root could easily decipher and she was about to quickly cover over her tracks when Shaw stuck her hand out.
Shaw 看着她，她脸上没有一个特别的表情是 Root 可以轻易辨认的，当 Shaw 伸出手时，她正要迅速掩盖自己的踪迹。

“Fine” Shaw said, “But only till we go, or I’ll zip tie them behind your back”
“好吧，”Shaw 说，“但前提是我们走，否则我会把它们绑在你背后。

“That sounds like fun” Root grinned as she placed her hand perfectly on top of Shaw’s before slowly pushing Shaw’s fingers apart with her own, interlacing them carefully. Shaw’s palm was still open, her fingers straight until Root started running her thumb over Shaw’s. They both looked at their hands and Shaw rolled her eyes curling her fingers around Root’s.
“听起来很有趣，”Root 咧嘴一笑，将手完美地放在 Shaw 的手上，然后慢慢地用自己的手指将 Shaw 的手指分开，小心翼翼地交织在一起。Shaw 的手掌仍然张开，她的手指伸直，直到 Root 开始用拇指滑过 Shaw 的手掌。他们都看着自己的手，Shaw 翻了个白眼，用手指蜷曲着 Root 的手。

“You’re so lame” she mumbled and Root just smiled.
“你真蹩脚，”她喃喃自语，Root 只是笑了笑。

“So if we can’t have sex, or get divorced, what’s left?” Root asked.
“所以，如果我们不能发生性关系或离婚，还剩下什么呢？”鲁特问道。

“We could set fire to that wedding video, or shoot the priest?” Shaw suggested with a smirk.
“我们可以放火烧掉那个婚礼视频，或者射杀牧师？”Shaw 得意地笑着建议道。

Chapter Text

Back in New York…
回到纽约......

“Will you just chill out?” Shaw sighed as her and Root walked into the Finch’s library. “Taking the ring off doesn’t change the fact we are married”
“你能冷静下来吗？”Shaw 叹了口气，她和 Root 走进了 Finch 的图书馆。“摘下戒指并不能改变我们结婚的事实 ”

“Who’s married?” Finch asked from behind his computer.
“谁结婚了？”Finch 在他的电脑后面问道。

“Uhh, you and Reese…in my dream” Shaw said quickly and spun around to glare at Root who was still insistently on keeping the ring on. “Take it off” Shaw growled under her breath.
“呃，你和里斯......在我的梦里，“肖迅速说，然后转身瞪着鲁特，他仍然坚持要戴着戒指。“脱掉它”Shaw 低声咆哮。

“No” Root whispered and walked straight past her. “Miss us, Harry?”
“不，”Root 低声说，径直从她身边走过。“想我们吗，哈利？”

“You were barely gone for 48 hours, Ms Groves” Finch said and Shaw rolled her eyes, throwing herself down in the nearest chair.
“你才离开了 48 小时，格罗夫斯女士，”芬奇说，肖翻了个白眼，把自己扔在最近的椅子上。

“I can’t imagine what I could’ve missed in that small amount of time” he continued and Root smirked.
“我无法想象在这么短的时间内我会错过什么，”他继续说道，鲁特得意地笑了。

“Got any more numbers for us, Harold?” Shaw asked trying to change the subject before Root said something stupid.
“还有什么数字要告诉我们吗，哈罗德？”Shaw 问道，试图在 Root 说出一些愚蠢的话之前转移话题。

“Actually Ms Shaw, I thought you might be able to assist Mr Reese, I have a feeling he’ll be in need of some back up” Finch said and Shaw immediately jumped to her feet more than ready to hunt down some bad guys. She walked over to the door feeling Root’s eyes following her she quickly glanced over her shoulder. Root looked at her, her lips slightly parted as if she was going to say something, but Shaw slipped out the door before she could.
“其实，Shaw 女士，我想您也许能帮助 Reese 先生，我有一种感觉，他需要一些后援，”Finch 说，Shaw 立即跳起来，准备追捕一些坏人。她走到门口，感觉到 Root 的目光跟着她，她迅速回头看了一眼。Root 看着她，嘴唇微微张开，似乎要说什么，但 Shaw 还没来得及溜出门。

*

When Shaw finally got to go home she was caked in blood and bruises, duct tape holding together a wound caused from a bullet almost shooting straight through her side. Thankfully she moved fast enough, it barely hurt her, despite the stupid amount of blood. She stopped to get herself a burger before she went home, getting some strange and startled looks as she walked through the doors.
当 Shaw 终于回到家时，她浑身是血和瘀伤，胶带粘住了子弹几乎直接射穿她身体一侧造成的伤口。谢天谢地，她的动作足够快，尽管血量大得惊人，但几乎没有伤到她。她在回家之前停下来给自己买了一个汉堡，当她走进门时，她得到了一些奇怪和惊讶的眼神。

“What?” she’d asked, “You think this is bad you should see the other guys.”
“什么？” 她问道，“你觉得这很糟糕，你应该去看看其他男人。

It was when she’d walked back out that she realised she didn’t want to go home at all. She wanted to see Root. The only other person that seemed to understand, who would never give her that look that the room full of people at the burger place had. They didn’t get it, they never would. But Root did. Letting out a groan she backtracked towards Root’s apartment, picking the lock and letting herself in like she always did.
当她走出去时，她意识到她根本不想回家。她想见 Root。唯一一个似乎能理解的人，他永远不会给她那种在汉堡店满屋子的人的眼神。他们没有得到它，他们永远不会得到。但 Root 做到了。她呻吟了一声，向 Root 的公寓走去，像往常一样撬开锁，让自己进去。

Root wasn’t home yet, but that didn’t bother her. She glanced around at Root’s stuff that was messily scattered all over the available surfaces and dissected computer crap all over her floor.
Root 还没回家，但这并没有打扰她。她环顾四周，看了一眼 Root 的东西，这些东西乱七八糟地散落在可用的表面上，地板上到处都是电脑垃圾。

She tried to ignore the fact that it smelt like Root, climbing up onto the counter and pulling her burger out of the bag, shifting her focus to that instead.
她试图忽略它闻起来像 Root 的事实，爬上柜台，从袋子里拿出她的汉堡，将注意力转移到那个上面。

It seemed like only moments later that the door swung open and Root appeared, immediately catching sight of Shaw laying on her kitchen counter.
似乎就在片刻之后，门打开了，Root 出现了，立即看到了躺在厨房柜台上的 Shaw。

“Hi” she said and Shaw looked over at her.
“嗨，”她说，Shaw 看着她。

“Hi, sorry I…”
“嗨，对不起，我......”

“Broke in?” Root smirked shutting the door behind her and walking into the room, Shaw noticing the new cuts and bruises Root was also sporting.
“闯入了？”Root 得意地笑着关上了她身后的门，走进了房间，Shaw 注意到 Root 身上也有新的割伤和瘀伤。

“I didn’t think you’d mind” Shaw said not making any attempt to move.
“我以为你不会介意，”Shaw 说，没有试图移动。

“I don’t, but my lock might, if you want a key you could just ask” Root said coming over to her.
“我不知道，但我的锁可能会，如果你想要钥匙，你可以问，”Root 走过来对她说。

“Where’s the fun in that?” Shaw asked and Root smiled, glancing at Shaw’s blood stained shirt and lifting it up, seeing duct tape still holding her wound together.
“那有什么好玩的？”Shaw 问道，Root 微笑着，瞥了一眼 Shaw 沾满血迹的衬衫，把它掀起来，看到胶带还绑着她的伤口。

“You okay?” Root asked leaning closer to Shaw’s face, and Shaw just nodded. “Good.” Root said and instead of kissing her like Shaw was anticipating Root took a bite from the burger that was still half eaten in Shaw’s hand.
“你还好吗？”Root 问道，靠得更近了 Shaw 的脸，Shaw 只是点了点头。“很好。”Root 说，Root 没有像 Shaw 那样亲吻她，而是从 Shaw 手中还吃了一半的汉堡中咬了一口。

“That still needs stitches though” Root said investigating the burger bag and shovelling some fries into her mouth.
“不过，那还是需要缝针的，”鲁特说，一边检查着汉堡包，把一些薯条铲进嘴里。

“No it doesn’t, it’s just a graze” Shaw said watching Root closely.
“不，没有，只是擦伤，”Shaw 说，仔细观察着 Root。

“I’ll do yours if you do mine” Root smirked lifting an eyebrow and Shaw sat up ignoring the pain that shot through her side.
“如果你做我的，我就做你的，”Root 得意地笑着，扬起眉毛，Shaw 坐了起来，无视了从她侧面射出的疼痛。

“Where?” She demanded and Root paused, licking some salt off her finger and then pulling her shirt off and turning around so Shaw could see the reddened scratches across her back.
“在哪儿？”她问道，Root 停顿了一下，舔了舔手指上的盐，然后脱下她的衬衫，转过身来，让 Shaw 能看到她背上发红的划痕。

“Have you been having cheating on me?” Shaw asked hopping off the counter and walking over to Root, carefully running her finger along one of the scratches. Root flinched at the cold touch of Shaw’s fingers.
“你有没有欺骗我？”Shaw 问道，她从柜台上跳下来，走到 Root 身边，小心翼翼地用手指划过其中一处划痕。Root 被 Shaw 冰冷的手指触碰吓了一跳。

“If you count an electric barbed wire fence as competition,” Root said and Shaw frowned. “It just needs to be dressed, and unfortunately I can’t reach.”
“如果你把电铁丝网算作比赛，”Root 说，Shaw 皱起眉头。“它只需要穿衣服，可惜我够不着。”

Shaw sighed “Fine. Bathroom, now.”
Shaw 叹了口气，“好吧。浴室，现在。

Root followed Shaw into the bathroom, grabbing the medical kit and swinging her legs into the bath perching on the edge. Shaw got out the antiseptic and a cotton pad and looked at Root’s back. “This needs to go” she said loosely snapping one of Root’s bra straps against her shoulder.
Root 跟着 Shaw 进了浴室，拿起医疗箱，把双腿摆动进了位于边缘的浴缸里。Shaw 拿出消毒剂和化妆棉，看着 Root 的背影。“这个得去掉，”她说，松散地把 Root 的一条胸罩带子扣在她的肩膀上。

She could feel Root smirking despite the fact she was facing the other way, Shaw was surprised she didn’t make a comment.
她能感觉到 Root 在傻笑，尽管她面对的是另一个方向，Shaw 很惊讶她没有发表评论。

“Anything else, Doctor?” Root asked dropping her bra at Shaw’s feet and she rolled her eyes. Spoke too soon. Typical.
“还有什么吗，博士？”Root 问道，将她的胸罩放在 Shaw 的脚下，她翻了个白眼。说话太早了。典型。

“Yeah, find something to bite on because this is gonna sting” Shaw said and without any extra warning swiped the cotton pad across one of Root’s scratches. Root gasped loudly at the cold fiery pain that shot across her back, her fingers gripping the side of the bath firmly.
“是的，找点东西咬一口，因为这会刺痛的，”Shaw 说，没有任何额外的警告，用化妆棉擦过 Root 的一处划痕。鲁特大声喘息着，因为从她的背上射出的冰冷炽热的疼痛，她的手指牢牢地抓住了浴缸的侧面。

“D-do you think they’re gonna scar?” Root asked through clenched teeth trying to distract herself as Shaw kept going.
“D-你觉得他们会伤痕累累吗？”Root 咬紧牙关问道，试图在 Shaw 继续前进时分散自己的注意力。

“Doubt it” Shaw replied from behind her, “And even if they did, scars are hot.”
“怀疑，”Shaw 在她身后回答，“即使他们这样做了，疤痕也很热。

“Yeah, I know, ” Root replied, “You have quite the collection.”
“是的，我知道，”鲁特回答道，“你有相当多的收藏。

Shaw rolled her eyes and stood back to look at the angry red marks, seeing whether she had missed any.
Shaw 翻了个白眼，站回头看着那些愤怒的红色印记，看看她是不是漏掉了什么。

“I’ll come back tomorrow and change the dressing” Shaw said covering them up loosely with gauze pads. “You might want to give it a minute before putting a top on that’ll aggravate the dressing.”
“我明天回来换药，”Shaw 说，用纱布垫松散地把它们盖起来。“你可能想先给它一分钟，然后再穿上上衣，那会加重敷料的味道。”

Root turned around and lifted an eyebrow. “Sounds an awful lot like an excuse to have me topless while I stitch you up, Sameen”
鲁特转过身来，扬起了一道眉毛。“听起来很像一个借口，让我赤裸上身，然后我给你缝针，Sameen”

“I can stitch myself up” Shaw said, but Root reached for the needle before Shaw did.
“我可以缝合自己，”Shaw 说，但 Root 在 Shaw 之前伸手去拿针。

“Lay down, Sameen” Root said “And take your shirt off”
“躺下，Sameen”Root 说，“把你的衬衫脱掉。

Shaw pulled off her tank, thankful the wound was down far enough that she could leave her sports bra on without interference. Root sterilised the needle and pulled on a latex glove, letting it snap against her wrist.
Shaw 脱下她的背心，谢天谢地，伤口已经足够深，她可以不受干扰地穿着她的运动胸罩。Root 对针头进行了消毒，戴上了乳胶手套，让它在她的手腕上啪啪作响。

“Is that why you came over? You wanted me to stitch you up?” Root asked pulling the duct tape away from the wound with her ungloved hand.
“这就是你过来的原因吗？ 你想让我  把你缝起来吗？Root 问道，用她没有戴手套的手从伤口上拉开胶带。

‘Don’t flatter yourself” Shaw grumbled.
“别自吹自擂，”Shaw 抱怨道。

“I mean I guess that’s why people get married, to have someone to put them back together after a bad day” Root continued, and Shaw wasn’t even sure whether it was a conversation anymore. She rested her head against the tiled floor and shut her eyes as she felt the needle prick her skin.
“我的意思是，我想这就是人们结婚的原因，在度过了糟糕的一天后，有人让他们重归于好，”Root 继续说道，Shaw 甚至不确定这是否已经是一场对话了。她把头靠在瓷砖地板上，闭上眼睛，感觉到针头刺痛了她的皮肤。

“Maybe it isn’t such a big deal, being married, people are probably just scared of the word, but it’s really no more commitment than we had already been putting in, we see each other everyday, we have sex, I flirt with you, you shoot people who try and kill me, what else is there really?”
“也许这没什么大不了的，结婚了，人们可能只是害怕这个词，但这真的比我们已经投入的承诺更多，我们每天都见面，我们做爱，我和你调情，你开枪杀我的人，真的有什么？”

Root stopped threading the needle through her skin and Shaw cracked her eyes open.
Root 停止了将针穿入她的皮肤，Shaw 睁开了眼睛。

“Was that rhetorical?” she asked and Root just laughed.
“这是修辞吗？” 她问道，Root 只是笑了起来。

“I’m just saying, Sameen, maybe this wouldn’t be so different, and besides who else do we have?”
“我只是想说，Sameen，也许这不会有这么大的不同，除了我们还有谁？”

Shaw felt the prick of the needle going back through her skin and she watched Root, the little frown between her eyes as she concentrated, knowing Shaw would make a fuss if it wasn’t straight. Root tied the knot, quickly applying the dressing and gave a satisfied little smile as she pulled the glove off and dropped it into the bin. Shaw sat up and found herself very close to where Root was still sitting on the floor.
Shaw 感觉到针刺穿过她的皮肤，她看着 Root，她集中注意力时眼睛里皱起了小皱眉，她知道如果针不直，Shaw 会大惊小怪。Root 打了个结，迅速涂上敷料，露出满意的微笑，把手套摘下来，扔进垃圾桶。Shaw 坐起来，发现自己离 Root 仍然坐在地板上的地方很近。

Shaw looked at Root who was still occupied putting away the medical supplies, not noticing the distance between their faces. Shaw’s eyes wandered down Root’s profile, following her jaw line with her eyes, wanting to run her fingers down that slender neck, her eyes moving down to Root’s bare chest, her nipples perfectly erect from the cold. Shaw realised she was staring and looked back up at Root’s face and found the other woman looking straight at her.
Shaw 看着 Root，他仍然忙着收拾医疗用品，没有注意到他们脸上的距离。Shaw 的眼睛沿着 Root 的轮廓游荡，用眼睛顺着她的下巴线，想用手指顺着那纤细的脖子滑下，她的眼睛向下移到 Root 裸露的胸膛上，她的在寒冷中完美地勃起。Shaw 意识到她在盯着看，回头看向 Root 的脸，发现另一个女人直直地看着她。

Neither of them spoke, a loose strand of Root’s hair had fallen over her face and Shaw swept it behind her ear before getting to her feet and picking up her blood soaked shirt.
他们谁也没有说话，Root 的一缕松散的头发垂在她的脸上，Shaw 把它扫到耳后，然后站起来捡起她被血浸湿的衬衫。

“I’ll get you a new one” Root said leaping up and brushing past Shaw into her bedroom, returning moments later wearing a loose practically see through white tank and holding a t-shirt  for Shaw, taking the blood soaked one from her and tossing it into the bath.
“我给你买一件新的，”Root 说着，跳起来，从 Shaw 身边擦过，走进了她的卧室，片刻之后又回来了，穿着一件宽松的几乎是透明的白色背心，拿着一件 T 恤给 Shaw，从她身上拿走了一件浸湿了血的 T 恤   ，把它扔进了浴缸里。

Shaw pulled on the top, it was a little loose but she didn’t care. It smelt like Root. She walked into the other room and grabbed her jacket off the couch.
Shaw 拉了拉顶部，有点松，但她不在乎。它闻起来像 Root。她走进另一个房间，从沙发上抓起她的外套。

“I should go” she said and Root just stared at her.
“我应该走了，”她说，而 Root 只是盯着她。

“You don’t have to” Root said quietly, and Shaw opened Root’s front door.
“你不必，”Root 轻声说，Shaw 打开了 Root 的前门。

“I should” was all she could say before slipping out, desperately trying to erase the image of Root standing there so vulnerably looking like a lost child.
“我应该”是她在溜出去之前所能说的唯一一句话，拼命试图抹去 Root 站在那里的形象，她站在那里，看起来如此脆弱，就像一个迷路的孩子。

**

When Shaw got home she grabbed a beer from her fridge despite having zero desire to actually consume any alcohol at all. She leaned back on her couch and shut her eyes. Then suddenly realised it was probably the first time that her and Root had slept in their own places in months. Their little sex agreement had often resulted in them spending the night at each others places. And whether she wanted to admit it or not she had become used to having the company. Her place felt weirdly empty without Root.
当 Shaw 回到家时，她从冰箱里拿了一瓶啤酒，尽管她根本没有真正喝酒的欲望。她靠在沙发上，闭上了眼睛。然后突然意识到这可能是她和 Root 几个月来第一次睡在自己的地方。他们小小的性协议经常导致他们在彼此的地方过夜。无论她是否愿意承认，她已经习惯了有这个陪伴。没有 Root 她的地方感觉很奇怪。

“You can’t do this” she said to herself. “You can’t just get married, you’re a sociopath.”
“你不能这样做，”她对自己说。“你不能就这样结婚，你是个反社会者。”

Shaw hated the fact that she felt so conflicted about this. She didn’t want to be married, but she wasn’t too fond of the idea of divorcing Root either. But she couldn’t stay married. She couldn’t. She abandoned her beer on the counter and went to bed instead, making a mental note to take Bear back to her place.
Shaw 讨厌她对此感到如此矛盾的事实。她不想结婚，但她也不太喜欢和 Root 离婚的想法。但她不能继续结婚。 她不能。她把啤酒丢在柜台上，反而上床睡觉，在心里记下要带熊回她的地方。

Chapter Text

The next morning Shaw went to the gym that was two blocks from her apartment, she knew it was a bad idea with her fresh stitches and all but really, despite what Root said it was just a scratch. She didn’t know how long she had been here for. She had woken up before the sun and failed all desperate attempts to go back to sleep, so after cleaning all her weapons, and much to her own surprise cleaning out her fridge she decided the only option left was the gym. Shaw wanted to do anything except confront the situation she was currently in, and if any new numbers came through she would happily take them. Although much to her disliking it had been a quiet few weeks. So she had made a power shake, and hit the gym.
第二天早上，Shaw 去了离她公寓两个街区的健身房，她知道这是个坏主意，因为她缝了新的针，而且真的，尽管 Root 说这只是一个划痕。她不知道自己在这里呆了多久。她在太阳之前醒来，所有绝望的尝试都失败了，所以在清洗了她所有的武器，而且让她自己惊讶的是，她清理了她的冰箱，她决定剩下的唯一选择就是健身房。Shaw 想做任何事情，除了面对她目前所处的状况，如果有任何新的数字出现，她会很乐意接受它们。虽然她很不喜欢，但这是平静的几周。所以她摇了摇，去了健身房。

She had been in front of the same punching bag for probably an hour now, sweat was pouring from her body, her muscles were finally starting to ache, but her vision was fixed on the punching bag. Stretching out her knuckles she carefully curled her fingers back up, and steadied the bag. Her aiming was precise, her timing was perfect, she was focused, but more importantly she was distracted.
她已经在同一个沙袋前呆了大概一个小时，汗水从她的身体里涌出，她的肌肉终于开始疼痛，但她的视线却固定在沙袋上。她伸出指关节，小心翼翼地将手指卷起，稳住了袋子。她的瞄准很精确，时机很完美，她很专注，但更重要的是她分心了。

Then like clockwork, out of the corner of her eye she saw someone come into the room. It’s probably just some stupid guy wanting to spar, she told herself. But somehow she wasn’t convinced, she glanced at the person again and this time she saw Root. Swinging her arm out to hit the bag she missed, for the first time in her life, and the bag swung towards her catching her across her stitches and slamming into her gut. She quickly grabbed the bag to steady it and sucked in a long deep breath as she felt one of the stitches pop.
然后，她像发条一样，用眼角的余光看到有人走进了房间。她告诉自己，可能只是某个蠢家伙想打架。但不知何故，她并不相信，她又看了一眼那个人，这一次她看到了 Root。她伸出手臂敲打着她错过的袋子，这是她有生以来的第一次，袋子向她摆动，抓住了她的针脚，砸在了她的肚子上。她迅速抓住袋子稳住它，当她感觉到其中一根针线爆裂时，她深吸了一口气。

“How’d you know?” Shaw asked her breath still ragged from the workout.
“你怎么知道的？”Shaw 问道，她的呼吸仍然因锻炼而变得粗糙。

“She told me you were here,” Root replied walking over, “So last night was weird.”
“ 她  告诉我你在这儿，”鲁特走过来回答，“所以昨晚很奇怪。

Shaw sighed and stared down at the ground. “Root…”
Shaw 叹了口气，低头盯着地面。“根......”

“Sam” Root said and let out a small breath.
“山姆，”鲁特说着，轻轻地呼出一口气。

“Stop Root, I know you want to talk about this but…” Shaw started but Root cut her off.
“停下来，Root，我知道你想谈谈这个，但是......”Shaw 开始说话，但 Root 打断了她。

“No, Sam, you’re dripping blood on the mat” Root said and gently reached out and wiped the blood up Shaw’s side so it would stop dripping, her breath catching as her fingers grazed across Shaw’s warm damp skin, feeling her breathing, and her tight muscles. She was in tiny workout shorts and a sports bra, and despite the fact she was covered in sweat and was dripping blood, to Root she looked irresistible.
“不，山姆，你在垫子上滴血”鲁特说，轻轻伸出手，将血擦到肖的一侧，让它停止滴落，当她的手指擦过肖温暖潮湿的皮肤时，她的呼吸急促，感受着她的呼吸和紧绷的肌肉。她穿着小运动短裤和运动胸罩，尽管她浑身是汗，滴着血，但在 Root 看来，她看起来令人无法抗拒。

“Shit” Shaw muttered lifting her arm to examine the wound to her side, and instead of swatting Root’s hands away she just pointed at her gym bag. “There’s a gauze in there and some tape”
“妈的，”Shaw 咕哝着，抬起手臂检查自己身边的伤口，她没有把 Root 的手甩开，只是指着她的健身包。“里面有一块纱布和一些胶带”

Shaw felt Root’s hand move off her side and wished that somehow she had kept it there. Root grabbed the gauze and placed it over Shaw’s stitches carefully, using her teeth to rip the tape she carefully placed it around the edges, then looked at Shaw.
Shaw 感觉到 Root 的手从她的一侧移开，希望她能以某种方式把它留在那里。鲁特抓起纱布，小心翼翼地套在肖的针脚上，用牙齿撕开胶带，小心翼翼地把它放在边缘，然后看着肖。

“Don’t say it” Shaw said seeing the worry on Root’s face and knowing she was about to be scolded for exercising with a wound. “So, did we get a new number or something, or did you just come here to interrupt my workout?”
“别说，”Shaw 说，看到 Root 脸上的担忧，知道她要因为带伤锻炼而被责骂。“所以，我们是不是得到了一个新号码什么的，或者你只是来这里打断我的锻炼？”

“She says you’ve been here for hours, and I just wanted to see if you were hungry?” Root said. Shaw lifted an eyebrow.
“她说你已经在这里呆了几个小时了，我只是想看看你饿不饿？”鲁特说。Shaw 扬起眉毛。

“There’s always time for breakfast” Root shrugged and Shaw just sighed.
“早餐总是有时间的，”鲁特耸耸肩，肖只是叹了口气。

“Fine, but I want pancakes” she said and Root smirked turning towards the door. “Chocolate chip, and don’t be stingy” Shaw called out after her.
“好吧，但我想要煎饼，”她说，Root 得意地笑着转向门口。“巧克力片，别吝啬”Shaw 在她身后喊道。

Shaw went into the changing room to clean herself up and pull her clothes back on. Letting out a frustrated sigh. So much for distraction she thought, as she swung her bag over her shoulder and started walking up the block to Root’s.
Shaw 走进更衣室清理自己并重新穿上衣服。沮丧地叹了口气。她想，这样就可以分散注意力了，她把包扛在肩上，开始沿着街区向 Root 走去。

The door was left slightly ajar when she arrived, and she almost smirked knowing Root only did that so she wouldn’t pick the lock again. She kicked the door shut with her shoe and dumped her bag beside it, she could smell pancakes, but she couldn’t see Root. Walking over to the kitchen she saw a pancake in a sizzling pan and glanced around for Root, then picking up the spatula and flipping it over so it didn’t burn. When she turned around again Root was there, she had her bunny slippers on and was wearing that same see through tank, with no bra.
当她到达时，门微微半开着，她几乎要得意地笑了，因为她知道鲁特这样做只是为了让她不会再撬锁了。她用鞋子把门踢上，把包扔在旁边，她能闻到煎饼的味道，但她看不到 Root。她走到厨房，看到一个咝咝作响的平底锅里的煎饼，环顾四周寻找 Root，然后拿起抹刀把它翻过来，这样它就不会烧焦了。当她再次转身时，Root 在那里，她穿着她的兔子拖鞋，穿着同样的透视背心，没有胸罩。

“Are you trying to start a kitchen fire?” Shaw asked and Root grinned.
“你是想点厨房火吗？”Shaw 问道，Root 咧嘴一笑。

“I had to pee” she said innocently and Shaw rolled her eyes. “Anyway, pancakes are almost done, and there’s coffee” Root said biting into the end of a strawberry with one hand and with the other pointing at the pot of coffee sitting on the table beside two empty mugs.
“我得尿尿，”她天真地说，Shaw 翻了个白眼。“总之，煎饼快做好了，还有咖啡了，”Root 说着，一只手咬着草莓的末端 ，另一只手指着桌上两个空杯子旁边的咖啡壶。

“Strawberries as well?” Shaw lifted an eyebrow.
“草莓也吃吗？”Shaw 扬起眉毛。

“No, those are mine” Root said lifting it out of Shaw’s reach.
“不，那些是我的，”Root 说着，把它从 Shaw 够不到的地方举了起来。

“What’s yours is mine, unless you signed a prenup” Shaw smirked and walked over to Root using two fingers like pincers against Root’s stomach and making her squeal with laughter, lowering the strawberry so Shaw could take a bite right from Root’s fingers.
“你的就是我的，除非你签署了婚前协议”Shaw 得意地笑着，用两根手指像钳子一样钳住 Root 的肚子，让她大笑起来，放下草莓，这样 Shaw 就可以直接从 Root 的手指上咬一口。

“That’s not fair, Sameen” Root exclaimed as she turned back to the pan and flipped the pancake onto a plate.
“这不公平，Sameen，”Root 惊呼道，她转身回到平底锅前，将煎饼翻转到盘子上。

“Which part, the strawberry or the prenup?” Shaw said satisfied, as she poured the coffee into the mugs and automatically added one sugar to Root’s.
“哪一部分，草莓还是婚前协议？”Shaw 满意地说，她将咖啡倒入杯子中，并自动在 Root 的杯子中加入一颗糖。

“You” Root frowned spinning around with a plate of pancakes and meeting with Shaw who was holding Root’s coffee. They stared at each other for a second before Shaw reached out for the plate and Root reached for her coffee. They sat down at the table and Shaw sighed.
“你”Root 皱着眉头，拿着一盘煎饼转来转去，与拿着 Root 咖啡的 Shaw 会面。他们互相盯着对方看了一会儿，然后 Shaw 伸手去拿盘子，Root 伸手去拿她的咖啡。他们在桌子旁坐下，Shaw 叹了口气。

“Well maybe you should tell me…” but her sentence was cut off as she shovelled a forkful of pancake into her mouth and moaned. Root quirked her eyebrow in amusement as she watched Shaw and slowly bit into another strawberry.
“好吧，也许你应该告诉我......”但当她把一叉煎饼铲进嘴里并呻吟时，她的话被打断了。Root 看着 Shaw 慢慢地咬了另一个草莓，逗乐地皱起了眉毛。

“When did you get so good at breakfast food?” Shaw asked and a smile twitched on Root’s lips.
“你什么时候变得这么擅长早餐食物的？”Shaw 问道，Root 的嘴唇上露出了一丝微笑。

“Do you want me to make a marital joke or tell you I’ve been practicing?”
“你想让我开个婚姻玩笑还是告诉你我一直在练习？”

“You’ve been practising pancakes?”
“你一直在练习煎饼？”

Root took a sip from her mug.
Root 从她的杯子里啜了一口。

“Damn and I thought you couldn’t get any nerdier” Shaw said and took another mouthful.
“该死的，我还以为你再也找不到书呆子了，”Shaw 说着又喝了一口。

“It was mostly for my own sake, but I guess it paid off” Root said defensively, then paused for a moment before asking, “so what was it you wanted me to tell you?”
“这主要是为了我自己，但我想这是有回报的，”鲁特辩解地说，然后停顿了一会儿，然后问道，“所以你想让我告诉你什么？

Shaw looked at her in confusion.
Shaw 困惑地看着她。

“Before your foodgasm, you said…” Root reminded her, and Shaw suddenly realised, putting her fork down and taking a sip of her coffee.
“在你的美食之前，你说过......”Root 提醒她，Shaw 突然意识到，放下叉子，喝了一口咖啡。

“I was going to say, maybe you should just tell me what it is you want” Shaw said only looking at Root for a brief moment before resuming her pancake shovelling.
“我本来想说，也许你应该告诉我你想要什么，”Shaw 说，只看了 Root 一会儿，然后继续她的煎饼铲。

“I thought that was obvious, Sam” Root said a frown flickering across her forehead.
“我觉得这很明显，山姆，”鲁特说，眉头在她的额头上闪烁。

“You want to stay married,” Shaw looked at her,  “to me, a sociopath, with no feelings?”
“你想保持婚姻，”Shaw 看着她，  “对我来说，一个没有感情的反社会者？

“You know that’s not how I see you” Root said and Shaw rolled her eyes.
“你知道我不是这样看你的，”Root 说，Shaw 翻了个白眼。

“It might not be, but it’s the truth, Root.”
“可能不是，但这是事实，鲁特。”

“I don’t think so” Root shook her head definitively, “You may have been that way once but I don’t think that’s true anymore, at least not with me”
“我不这么认为，”鲁特肯定地摇了摇头，“你可能曾经是这样，但我认为现在已经不是这样了，至少我不是这样。

“Root” Shaw rubbed her forehead where a frown was stuck between her eyes. “Sociopaths don’t just fall in love when their soul mate arrives”
“根”肖揉了揉她的额头，她的眼睛之间皱着眉头。“反社会者不会在他们的灵魂伴侣到来时就坠入爱河”

Root was quiet. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
鲁特很安静。“这是什么意思？”

“It means I can’t love you, despite how you feel about me” Shaw said and watched the emotion wash over Root.
“这意味着我不能爱你，不管你对我的感觉如何，”Shaw 说，看着情绪冲刷着 Root。

“But you care about me?”
“但你关心我？”

“Do I?”
“是吗？”

Root glared at her, obviously hurt. “Stop being so cold Sameen, it’s obvious you feel something or else you would have signed the stupid divorce papers already”
Root 瞪着她，显然很受伤。“别这么冷淡了，Sameen，很明显你感觉到了什么，否则你早就签署了愚蠢的离婚文件。”

Shaw stared at her.
Shaw 盯着她。

“Maybe you’re just scared” Root said and Shaw’s jaw clenched.
“也许你只是  害怕 ，”Root 说，Shaw 咬紧了下巴。

“I don’t get scared”
“我不害怕”

“Maybe not of guns or bad guys, but maybe you’re scared of yourself because you realise you can actually feel something for once” Root said her eyes were rimming with tears “And you don’t know how to deal with that.”
“也许不是枪支或坏人，但也许你害怕自己，因为你意识到你真的可以感觉到某事一次，”鲁特说，她的眼睛里充满了泪水，“而你不知道该如何应对。

“That’s not true” Shaw said getting to her feet.
“那不是真的，”Shaw 说着站了起来。

“Don’t lie” Root said glaring at her from the table.
“别撒谎，”Root 说，从桌子上瞪着她。

“I’m…” not, Shaw swallowed hard unable to finish that sentence. Root stood up and folded her arms.
“我......”  不 ，Shaw 用力咽了口口水，没能说完这句话。鲁特站起来，交叉双臂。

“What is it that makes you come here Sameen? That makes you want to stitch me up, or kill people when they’ve got a gun to my head? It sure as hell isn’t because you don’t have a single feeling inside your sociopathic little heart, something inside there wanted to get married to me, despite the fact we were drunk, you wanted to, or it wouldn’t have happened.” Root said, her voice was low and there was the slightest tremble in her words. Shaw knew she was angry, and wished she could make it stop, but she didn’t know how, she didn’t have that urge that other people do to console or comfort. But despite that, she thought she would try.
“是什么让你来到这里，Sameen？那你就想把我缝起来，或者当他们用枪指着我的头杀人吗？这肯定不是因为你那颗反社会的小心脏里没有一点感觉，内心深处有什么  东西想  和我结婚，尽管我们喝醉了，你想这样做，否则它不会发生。鲁特说，她的声音很低，话语中带着丝毫的颤抖。Shaw 知道她很生气，希望她能停下来，但她不知道该怎么做，她没有其他人那样想要安慰或安慰的冲动。但尽管如此，她还是认为她会尝试。

“Come here.”
“过来。”

Root looked at her confused, wiping a tear off her cheek.
Root 困惑地看着她，擦了擦她脸颊上的泪水。

“Come. Here.” Shaw repeated her voice was almost like a soft growl.
“来吧。在这里。Shaw 重复了一遍，她的声音几乎像是轻柔的咆哮。

“Why, are you going to shoot me? Would that make it easier for you?” Root asked taking a step forward anyway.
“为什么，你要开枪打我？那对你来说会更容易吗？Root 问道，还是向前迈了一步。

“Shut up” Shaw said and pulled Root into her, wrapping her arms around the taller woman and taking a deep breath. She didn’t know whether this would help, but it was what normal people did when someone was upset right? Even if she wasn’t all that great with empathetic touching, maybe for Root it would help.
“闭嘴，”Shaw 说着，把 Root 拉进去，搂着那个高个子女人，深吸了一口气。她不知道这是否有帮助，但这就是正常人在有人不高兴时会做的事情，对吧？即使她在善解人意的抚摸方面不是那么出色，也许对 Root 来说这会有所帮助。

“What are you doing?” Root asked and it sounded like she was crying and laughing at the same time, as she wrapped her arms around Shaw. But before Shaw had a chance to answer she felt Root’s hot tears hitting the crook of her neck.
“你在干什么？”Root 问道，听起来她同时哭泣和大笑，同时她搂住了 Shaw。但 Shaw 还没来得及回答，她就感觉到 Root 的热泪打在她的脖子上。

“I don’t care that you don’t get it Sameen, I need you” Root said softly her words muffled against Shaw’s skin. “And I want you, but you won’t even…” her voice trailed off and she forced herself to pull away, quickly wiping her tears and taking several steps back.
“我不在乎你不明白，Sameen，我需要你，”Root 轻声说，她的话语在 Shaw 的皮肤上变得闷闷不乐。“我想要你，但你甚至不会......”她的声音渐渐低落，她强迫自己抽身，迅速擦干眼泪，后退了几步。

Shaw stared at her for a minute. “Root, I don’t want to hurt you because I can’t be normal.”
Shaw 盯着她看了一分钟。“鲁特，我不想伤害你，因为我不能正常 。“

Root stared at her in silence, absolutely still, then finally broke, using both her thumbs to wipe the tears off her face, then turned to pick up her mug of coffee, taking a sip and wrapping her fingers around it in comfort. Shaw could only watch.
Root 沉默地盯着她，绝对静止，然后终于崩溃了，用她的双拇指擦去脸上的泪水，然后转身拿起她的咖啡杯，喝了一口，用手指舒适地缠住了它。肖只能眼睁睁地看着。

“You asked me to tell you what I want Sam, and now you’re just fighting against me because you can’t admit that I’m right” Root said her voice level. “I think you should go.”
“你让我告诉你我想要什么，山姆，现在你只是在和我作斗争，因为你不能承认我是对的，”鲁特说，她的声音很低。“我觉得你应该走。”

Chapter Text

“I don’t want to” Shaw protested refusing to move from where she stood.
“我不想，”Shaw 抗议道，拒绝从她站的地方搬走。

“Then tell me I’m right, tell me anything that will make me believe you are the person I know you are” Root said folding her arms and leaning back against the kitchen counter. Shaw didn’t know what to say, she stared at Root for what felt like endless minutes.
“那就告诉我，我是对的，告诉我任何能让我相信你就是我所知道的那个人的事情，”鲁特说，交叉双臂，靠在厨房的柜台上。Shaw 不知道该说什么，她盯着 Root 看了好几分钟。

“This blows” she said finally, and Root just rolled her eyes and looked towards the door. “No, I mean this feels like shit.”
“这打击，”她终于说了，而 Root 只是翻了个白眼，看向门口。“不，我是说这感觉像狗屎。”

Root immediately looked back at her.
Root 立即回头看向她。

“Maybe you’re right” Shaw shrugged, “Maybe I am scared, but why the hell would I want to admit that? Why would anyone want to admit that.”
“也许你是对的，”Shaw 耸耸肩，“也许我很害怕，但我他妈为什么要承认呢？为什么有人愿意承认这一点。

“Because I’m right here, Sameen” Root said “Even if it doesn’t feel like it”
“因为我就在这里，Sameen”Root 说，“即使感觉不像”

“It does feel like it” Shaw mumbled.
“确实感觉像，”Shaw 喃喃自语。

“So talk to me, sweetie” Root took a step forward, Shaw tried to look away from her but couldn’t.
“所以跟我说话吧，亲爱的”Root 向前走了一步，Shaw 试图把视线从她身上移开，但没能成功。

“There’s something wrong with me Root” Shaw shook her head, “And one day you’re not going to find it so cute anymore”
“我出了点问题，Root，”Shaw 摇摇头，“总有一天你会觉得它不再那么可爱了。

“Don’t tell me what I’m going to feel, Sam” Root frowned. “That’s my business.”
“别告诉我我会有什么感受，山姆，”鲁特皱起眉头。“那是我的事。”

Shaw shut her eyes, as if it would somehow remove her from the situation.
Shaw 闭上了眼睛，仿佛这会以某种方式让她摆脱这种情况。

“So you don’t feel things the way other people do, I know that, and truthfully Sameen, that’s what makes you so beautiful” Root said.
“所以你不会像其他人那样感受事物，我知道  这一点，说实话，Sameen，这就是你如此美丽的原因，”鲁特说。

Shaw had her hands stuffed in her pockets as she stared up at the ceiling.
Shaw 双手插在口袋里，盯着天花板。

“This whole talking thing is kinda tiring” she said and Root almost laughed at her blunt deflection.
“这整件事有点累，”她说，Root 几乎被她直率的转移逗笑了。

“Welcome to feelings” Root smiled.
“欢迎来到感情，”鲁特笑了笑。

“No thanks.” Shaw said.
“不用了，谢谢。”“Shaw 说。

Root suddenly tilted her head to the side, a tiny frown appearing between her eyes as a focused look spread over her face. Great timing, Shaw thought to The Machine as Root touched the back of her ear.
Root 突然把头歪向一边，眼中微微皱起眉头，脸上露出专注的神情。时机真是太好了，Shaw 在 Root 碰到她的耳后时对 The Machine 说。

“Harry’s going to need us in half an hour” Root said and Shaw gave a sharp nod.
“哈利半小时后就需要我们了，”鲁特说，肖猛然点了点头。

“Good, I need to shoot something” she said.
“很好，我需要拍点什么，”她说。

“Get on the bed” Root said suddenly and Shaw stared at her.
“上床，”鲁特突然说，肖盯着她。

“Why?”
“为什么？”

“If we have sex you’ll feel better, normal again” Root shrugged.
“如果我们做爱，你会感觉好些，恢复正常。”鲁特耸耸肩。

“Is that how it works?” Shaw lifted an eyebrow, “didn’t we just…”
“是这样吗？”Shaw 扬起眉毛，“我们不是刚刚......”

“It doesn’t…” Root sighed “It doesn’t matter”
“它不会......”鲁特叹了口气，“没关系”

“It matters to you” Shaw said and a small smile appeared on Root’s mouth.
“这对你很重要，”Shaw 说，Root 的嘴角露出一丝微笑。

“We’re gonna be fine” Root said vaguely and grabbed Shaw’s hand leading her into her bedroom.
“我们会没事的，”Root 含糊不清地说，抓住 Shaw 的手，带她进了自己的卧室。

“This seems like a bad idea” Shaw said but before she could say anything else Root’s hands were on her waist and their mouths were pressed together. Shaw let out a slight groan as her thought from one second ago was immediately forgotten and she moved in closer to Root.
“这似乎是个坏主意，”Shaw 说，但还没来得及说什么，Root 的手就放在了她的腰上，他们的嘴巴紧紧地贴在一起。Shaw 发出一声轻微的呻吟，因为她一秒钟前的想法立即被遗忘，她靠近了 Root。

“Half and hour, Sameen” Root mumbled against her lips and Shaw immediately tugged her top off then her pants, Root quickly followed and then pushed Shaw down onto the bed, straddling her hips.
“半个小时，Sameen”Root 在她的嘴唇上喃喃自语，Shaw 立即扯下她的上衣，然后扯下她的裤子，Root 迅速跟上，然后将 Shaw 推倒在床上，跨坐在她的臀部上。

“Sex,” Root said in between messy kisses, as she ran her hands up Shaw’s muscular arms, “relieves a lot of tension, especially after fights.”
“性爱，”鲁特在凌乱的吻之间说，她的手滑上了肖肌肉发达的手臂，“缓解了很多紧张，尤其是在打架之后。

“Shut up” Shaw said her hands tangled in Root’s hair pulling the woman closer to her, locking their mouths together so their wasn’t room for words.
“闭嘴，”Shaw 说，她的手缠住了 Root 的头发，将女人拉得更近一些，将他们的嘴巴锁在一起，这样他们就没有说话的余地。

Root grinded down against Shaw, her hands running up Shaw’s stomach and over her breasts catching her erect nipples between her fingers and smiling against Shaw’s lips, as Shaw let out a tiny moan.
Root 在 Shaw 身上磨蹭，她的手顺着 Shaw 的肚子滑过她的乳房，用手指抓住她勃起的，在 Shaw 的嘴唇上微笑，Shaw 发出一声轻微的呻吟。

“The endorphins are pretty much the same as when you eat chocolate,” Root mumbled and Shaw’s fingers came up to trace her lips.
“内啡肽和你吃巧克力时差不多，”Root 喃喃自语，Shaw 的手指伸出来抚摸她的嘴唇。

“You gotta stop” Shaw murmured and Root bit down on Shaw’s fingertips, Shaw tipped her hips up into Root and the air that came rushing from Root’s mouth loosened her grip on Shaw’s fingers enough for her to free them. She wrapped her arms around Root, reaching down carefully avoiding the wounds on Root’s back and grabbing her ass.
“你得停下来”Shaw 喃喃自语，Root 咬住了 Shaw 的指尖，Shaw 将她的臀部向上倾斜到 Root 身上，从 Root 嘴里涌出的空气松开了她对 Shaw 手指的抓握，足以让她松开它们。她搂住 Root，小心翼翼地伸手避开 Root 背上的伤口，抓住她的屁股。

Root smiled and leaned down to kiss Shaw, sliding her tongue into her mouth exploring it as if it were the first time it had been there. But Shaw wasn’t in the mood for foreplay, her tongue crashed against Root’s fighting for dominance.
Root 微笑着俯下身去亲吻 Shaw，将她的舌头滑进她的嘴里，探索它，就像这是它第一次出现一样。但 Shaw 没有心情进行前戏，她的舌头与 Root 争夺主导地位的斗争相撞。

Root’s hands wandered down Shaw’s body, dragging slowly, building the tension between them whether Shaw wanted it or not. Then finally slipped one finger into the waistband of her briefs. She toyed with it for a moment before slipping the rest of her hand down, the warmth and wetness greets her fingers, and she idly half fingered Shaw whilst kissing her deeply, so that there wasn’t air for Shaw to so much as protest. Shaw groaned underneath her trying to buck her hips up, but Root kept herself firmly on top.
Root 的手在 Shaw 的身体上游荡，慢慢地拖拽，无论 Shaw 是否愿意，他们之间都建立了紧张感。然后终于将一根手指滑进了她的三角裤腰带。她玩弄了一会儿，然后把手的其余部分滑了下来，温暖和湿润迎接她的手指，她懒洋洋地用半个手指抚摸着 Shaw，同时深深地吻着她，这样 Shaw 就没有空气来抗议了。Shaw 在她身下呻吟着，试图将她的臀部向上翘起，但 Root 牢牢地站在上面。

“Do you want more, Sameen?” she whispered eventually.
“你想要更多吗，Sameen？”

“Yeah” Shaw’s voice had gone hoarse, deep and husky.
“是的”Shaw 的声音变得嘶哑、低沉、沙哑。

Root pressed inside her, letting the moan from Shaw’s mouth fill hers as she kisses her again.
Root 压在她体内，让 Shaw 嘴里的呻吟填满她，同时她再次亲吻她。

“Open your eyes” Root told her, their lips still touching. Shaw opened her eyes and stared at Root, her pupils dilated as she added another finger.
“睁开你的眼睛，”Root 对她说，他们的嘴唇仍然接触着。Shaw 睁开眼睛，盯着 Root，她的瞳孔放大了，因为她又增加了一根手指。

“Keep looking at me” Root demanded and leaned down claiming Shaw’s mouth again, their eyelashes practically touching as Root licked the top of her mouth before pulling back, dragging her teeth across Shaw’s bottom lip. Shaw didn’t move her eyes off of Root. Her fingers crept under Root’s panties across her ass.
“继续看着我”Root 要求道，然后俯下身再次抓住 Shaw 的嘴，当 Root 舔舐她的嘴巴顶部时，他们的睫毛几乎相触，然后缩回去，用牙齿划过 Shaw 的下唇。Shaw 没有将目光从 Root 身上移开。她的手指爬过 Root 的内裤，穿过她的屁股。

“Hands where I can see them” Root said and Shaw groaned as Root kissed down Shaw’s jaw.
“我能看到他们的手，”Root 说，Shaw 呻吟着，Root 亲吻着 Shaw 的下巴。

“Root” Shaw frowned and Root stopped, until Shaw quickly brought her hands up above her head and interlaced her fingers. Root smirked, and fucked Shaw hard. Her forearm moved forcefully between their two bodies, as she kissed down Shaw’s neck, biting occasionally, licking along her collarbone and then eventually reaching her nipples. Catching one between her teeth and running her tongue around the rim, once, twice, then she stopped and changed sides. Her fingers still moving fast, her forearm tense. She sucked Shaw’s other nipple slowly, then kissed around it, taking pleasure in hearing Shaw moan, feeling her chest rise and fall heavily underneath her. Shaw’s fingers came unlaced as one hand reaches up to grab the headboard, Root glanced up admiring the rippling muscle of Shaw’s upper arm. She reached up with her free arm and interlaced her fingers with Shaw’s other hand.
“Root” Shaw 皱起眉头，Root 停了下来，直到 Shaw 迅速将她的双手举过头顶，将她的手指交织在一起。Root 得意地笑着，狠狠地操了 Shaw。她的前臂在他们两个身体之间用力地移动，她亲吻着 Shaw 的脖子，偶尔咬一口 ，沿着她的锁骨舔舐，最后到达她的。用牙齿咬住一个，用舌头在边缘滑行，一次，两次，然后她停下来，换了边站。她的手指仍然快速移动，她的前臂紧绷。她慢慢地吮吸着 Shaw 的另一个，然后在它周围亲吻，享受着 Shaw 的呻吟，感觉她的胸部在她身下沉重地起伏。当一只手伸上去抓住床头板时，Shaw 的手指松开了，Root 抬头看了一眼，欣赏着 Shaw 上臂起伏的肌肉。她伸出空出来的手臂，将手指与 Shaw 的另一只手交织在一起。

“Do you want to feel how wet I am?” Root whispered and Shaw just moaned, bucking her hips into Root’s hand.
“你想感受一下我有多湿吗？”Root 低声说，Shaw 只是呻吟着，将她的臀部撞向 Root 的手。

“Let me…” Shaw tried to say but Root cut her off with a kiss.
“让我......”Shaw 试图说，但 Root 用一个吻打断了她。

“No” Root said against her lips.
“不，”Root 贴着她的嘴唇说。

Root moved herself so she was slightly off centre, and Shaw immediately took the opportunity moving her thigh so it slipped perfectly between Root’s legs, she could immediately feel Root, hot and sticky against her leg. She groaned.
Root 移动了一下自己，让她稍微偏离了中心，Shaw 立即抓住机会移动她的大腿，让它完美地滑到 Root 的两腿之间，她立即能感觉到 Root，又热又粘在她的腿上。她呻吟着。

“That’s cheating” Root murmured, Shaw could feel Root’s body heat against hers, she could feel her breath quicken, her eyes still open she watched Root’s eyelashes flutter as she drove her thigh up again in-between Root’s legs.
“那是在作弊，”Root 喃喃自语，Shaw 能感觉到 Root 的体温抵在她的身上，她能感觉到自己的呼吸加快了，她的眼睛仍然睁着，她看着 Root 的睫毛颤动着，她又把大腿推到了 Root 的两腿之间。

“It’s not” Shaw demanded running her tongue across her teeth with a small smirk that Root caught.
“不是的，”Shaw 质问道，她的舌头在她的牙齿上滑过，露出一丝得意的笑容，Root 抓住了。

Root’s hand abandoned Shaw’s on the pillow and came up to her neck, her long elegant fingers with black painted nails wrapped around it as she leaned down and bit Shaw’s earlobe.
鲁特的手离开了肖在枕头上的手，伸到了她的脖子上，她修长优雅的手指上涂着黑色的指甲，她俯下身来咬住了肖的耳垂。

“I saw that” she said, sucking on her earlobe and licking down her neck.
“我看到了，”她说，吮吸着她的耳垂，舔着她的脖子。

“Choke me then” Shaw said with a glint in her eye and a slow groan as Root’s fingers grazed across her g-spot. Root smirked.
“那么，窒息我，”Shaw 说，当 Root 的手指擦过她的时，她的眼睛里闪过一丝光芒，发出缓慢的呻吟。鲁特得意地笑着。

“We don’t have time” Root said biting on Shaw’s shoulder, and quickened her pace. “But if you want more…” she slowly slipped a fourth finger in and Shaw’s back immediately arched underneath her.
“我们没时间了，”Root 说，咬着 Shaw 的肩膀，加快了她的步伐。“但如果你想要更多......”她慢慢地将第四根手指滑进去，Shaw 的背部立即在她身下拱起。

“Root….the….holy fuck” Shaw managed in-between breathy moans.  “That’s fou- fuck….I’m gonna…” But before she finishes that sentence Root gave a final demanding thrust which threw Shaw over the edge into the whirling void of pleasure, every muscle clenching, tightening, throbbing, until she falls limp. Her breath was ragged and fast, she shudders slightly as Root’s slick fingers grazed over her clit on the way back up.
“根....那个....天哪”Shaw 在喘息的呻吟之间设法。  “那他妈的....我要...”但在她说完这句话之前，Root 给了她最后的重推，将 Shaw 推向了快感的漩涡中，每一块肌肉都在紧绷、紧绷、抽搐，直到她瘫软下来。她的呼吸急促而急促，当 Root 光滑的手指在她的阴蒂上擦过她的阴蒂时，她微微颤抖。

“I know you could have held out longer if I asked, but we made pretty good time” Root said and kissed Shaw’s lips before sitting up, still stranding Shaw’s one thigh Shaw could automatically feel the wetness pressed against her leg.
“我知道如果我问的话，你可以坚持得更久，但我们度过了相当愉快的时光，”Root 说着，吻了吻 Shaw 的嘴唇，然后坐了起来，仍然夹住 Shaw 的一条大腿，Shaw 可以自动感觉到湿漉漉的压在她的腿上。

“What about you?” she asked and reached out to Root her fingers trailing down her stomach.
“那你呢？”她问道，并向 Root 伸出手，手指顺着她的肚子滑下。

Root smirked and rocked her hips slightly against Shaw’s leg. “We have to go.”
Root 得意地笑着，用臀部轻轻地靠在 Shaw 的腿上。“我们得走了。”

“Harold can wait” Shaw said, and Root made no attempt to get up. Instead she dropped her hands to either side of Shaw’s body and pressed herself against Shaw’s leg. Her cheeks were flushed, and her lips pink and parted. Shaw watched her face, their eyes were locked.
“哈罗德可以等，”肖说，鲁特没有试图站起来。相反，她把手放在 Shaw 身体的两侧，把自己压在 Shaw 的腿上。她的脸颊通红，嘴唇通红，张开了。Shaw 看着她的脸，他们的眼睛紧紧地盯着。

“You want to touch me?” Root asked still moving against her leg, she dipped herself down and dragged herself across harder.
“你想摸我吗？”Root 问道，仍然靠在她的腿上，她俯下身子，更用力地拖着自己过去。

“Yeah” Shaw’s reply was more like a small breath.
“是的，”Shaw 的回答更像是一口气。

“You technically are” Root smirked breathlessly, “And I can tell you find this hot.”
“严格来说，你是，”鲁特上气不接下气地笑着，“而且我可以告诉你，你觉得这很热。

“Maybe” Shaw said unable to take her eyes off Root, who’s fingers were starting to grip at the sheets.
“也许吧，”Shaw 说，她的目光无法从 Root 身上移开，Root 的手指开始抓着床单。

“Shall we play a quick game?” Root asked before a soft gasp escaped her lips. “I’ll use your body, but you can’t touch me with your hands”
“我们来个快游戏好吗？”Root 问道，然后她轻轻地喘息着。“我会用你的身体，但你不能用手碰我”

“That’s not fair” Shaw said.
“这不公平，”肖说。

“Hands against the headboard” Root demanded and Shaw found herself obliging. Root rocked against Shaw’s leg, her moans slowly becoming more frequent, then she repositioned herself, directly over Shaw’s pelvic bone. She lay down on top of Shaw their faces inches from each others as she grinded down hard and fast, the warmth of her breath caressing Shaw’s face. Her movements got faster and faster and Shaw thought she was about to come, but then suddenly she stopped. Her cheeks flushed, her eyelids fluttered as she stood up, pulling her panties off and then getting back on the bed, but this time she knelt above Shaw’s chest.
“双手抵住床头板，”Root 要求道，Shaw 发现自己很顺从。Root 在 Shaw 的腿上摇晃，她的呻吟慢慢变得更加频繁，然后她重新调整了自己的位置，直接越过了 Shaw 的骨盆骨。她躺在 Shaw 的身上，他们的脸相距几英寸，她用力而快速地磨蹭着，她温暖的呼吸抚摸着 Shaw 的脸。她的动作越来越快，Shaw 以为她快要来了，但突然她停了下来。她的脸颊通红，眼睑颤动着，她站起来，脱下内裤，然后回到床上，但这一次她跪在了 Shaw 的胸前。

“I said no hands, I didn’t say anything about tongue” she said with mischievous look in her eye.
“我说没有手，我没有说任何关于舌头的事情，”她用调皮的眼神说。

“Get closer then” Shaw growled and Root slowly moved up until she had one leg on either side of Shaw’s head. She lowered herself down until she was abruptly met with Shaw’s mouth, letting out a louder moan than she had wanted to. Shaw ran her tongue over her, through the wetness, sucking gently, letting Root moan and grip until she was white knuckled onto the top of the headboard. She flicked her tongue against Root’s clit and Root whole body tensed, before she slipped it inside her, feeling Root try and move against her mouth, but she was in charge now. But not for long, Root was practically on the edge already, as she pushed her tongue deeper she felt Root’s thighs tighten against her head, a loud moan filled the room, and then her mouth was filled.
“那么，靠近一点，”Shaw 咆哮着，Root 慢慢地向上移动，直到她的一条腿放在 Shaw 的头两侧。她低下身子，直到突然碰到 Shaw 的嘴，发出比她想要的更大的呻吟。Shaw 用舌头在她身上滑过，穿过湿漉漉的，轻轻地吸吮，让 Root 呻吟和抓住，直到她白白地趴在床头板的顶部。她用舌头轻弹 Root 的阴蒂，Root 全身绷紧，然后她把它滑进了她的体内，感觉到 Root 试图在她的嘴上移动，但现在她是负责人。但没过多久，Root 几乎已经处于边缘了，当她将舌头伸得更深时，她感觉到 Root 的大腿紧贴着她的头，一声响亮的呻吟充满了房间，然后她的嘴被填满了。

Root climbed off her and collapsed down next to her, her breathing fast.
Root 从她身上爬下来，瘫倒在她旁边，她的呼吸急促。

“Is it just me or did you get louder?” Shaw asked wiping her mouth with the back of her hand.
“是我一个人的问题，还是你变大了？”Shaw 用手背擦了擦嘴问道。

“Only for you” Root said with a smirk, then suddenly it faded and she rolled over, practically onto Shaw’s arm.
“只为你”Root 得意地笑着说，然后突然它消失了，她翻了个身，几乎撞到了 Shaw 的手臂上。

“What?” Shaw asked.
“什么？”Shaw 问道。

“Sam, I think we just…” She started and Shaw just stared at her blankly. “Consummated our marriage” she finished slowly.
“山姆，我想我们只是......”她开始说话，Shaw 只是茫然地盯着她。“完成我们的婚姻，”她慢慢地结束。

A look of registration suddenly crossed Shaw’s face and she glanced up at the ceiling before looking back at Root.
Shaw 的脸上突然浮现出一丝顺从的表情，她抬头看了一眼天花板，然后又看向 Root。

“I’m sorry, Sam” Root said frowning “that was totally my fault.”
“对不起，山姆，”鲁特皱着眉头说，“那完全是我的错。

“It’s fine, Root” Shaw said and sat up.
“没事，Root，”Shaw 说着坐了起来。

“Where are you going?” Root asked sitting up as well.
“你要去哪里？”鲁特也坐起来问道。

“We’re late” Shaw said grabbing her clothes from where she dropped them on the ground.
“我们迟到了，”Shaw 说，从她把衣服丢在地上的地方抓起。

“You seem…bothered” Root pouted.
“你看起来......打扰了“鲁特撅起嘴。

“I’m not” Shaw said.
“我不是，”Shaw 说。

“Well do you feel better?”
“嗯，你感觉好些了吗？”

Shaw turned to her “Annoyingly so” she said almost smiling.
Shaw 转向她，“真烦人，”她说，几乎是微笑。

Root bit her lip and felt relief wash over her.
Root 咬着嘴唇，感到如释重负。

Chapter Text

When it was time for Shaw to go home she didn’t even consider going to Root’s despite what had happened that morning. Bear trotted along beside her on his leash that was loosely hanging around Shaw’s wrist. She felt content with having him beside her. The dog she cared about, she thought. Now that wasn’t so hard to admit was it Sam? She asked herself and glanced down at Bear who’s tongue was happily dangling from his mouth. It hadn’t been a hard bargain convincing Harold to let her take him, he had clearly sensed something was wrong because she hadn’t even needed to threaten him. He had simply nodded, and given her a short list of instructions for his care, all of which, she already knew.
当 Shaw 该回家时，她甚至没有考虑去 Root's，尽管那天早上发生了什么。Bear 用松散地挂在 Shaw 手腕上的皮带在她身边小跑。她对有他在身边感到很满意。她想，她关心的那只狗。现在这并不难承认，是山姆吗？她问自己，低头看了一眼 Bear，他的舌头高兴地从他的嘴里垂下来。说服哈罗德让她带走他并不是一个艰难的交易，他显然已经感觉到有些不对劲，因为她甚至不需要威胁他。他只是点了点头，然后给了她一份简短的照顾指示清单，所有这些，她都已经知道了。

She didn’t care for her apartments pet policy, her place as hardly much of a home anyway. Her mattress was thrown on the floor of a rather empty room, which Root had once deemed “very artistically pleasing”. She had a fridge, a TV, a couch, and some coat hangers. And now she had a dog.
她不在乎她公寓的宠物政策，反正她的地方也算不上什么家。她的床垫被扔在一个相当空的房间的地板上，鲁特曾认为这“非常艺术上令人愉悦”。她有冰箱、电视、沙发和一些衣架。现在她养了一只狗。

She hadn’t spent a lot of time with Root today, they had individual missions for which she was strangely glad about. Usually she didn’t mind following Root around all day armed with guns, but today she was grateful for the space. Although she had been stuck with Reese for a few hours, of which for some reason he had decided to keep prying into the Vegas trip, asking strange questions like “How was the trip?” to which Shaw had mumbled “pretty lame.” Less than half an hour later he had asked about Root to which Shaw had spun around to glare at him.
她今天没有花很多时间在 Root 身上，他们有单独的任务，她对此感到奇怪的高兴。通常她不介意整天带着枪跟着 Root，但今天她很感激这个空间。尽管她已经和 Reese 在一起了几个小时，但出于某种原因，他决定继续窥探拉斯维加斯的旅行，问一些奇怪的问题，比如“这次旅行怎么样”，而 Shaw 却喃喃自语着“相当蹩脚”。不到半小时后，他问起了鲁特的情况，肖转过身来瞪了他一眼。

“Why don’t you ask her that?” she had snapped and Reese had barely lifted an eyebrow at her sudden hostility.
“你为什么不问她这个呢？”她厉声说，而 Reese 对她突如其来的敌意几乎没有扬起眉毛。

“You two just seem…” he gave a nonchalant shrug as he peered through the eyehole of the sniper rifle.
“你们俩看起来只是......”他漫不经心地耸了耸肩，从狙击步枪的眼孔里窥视着。

“We seem what?” Shaw said crouched behind him loading several different guns.
“我们好像什么？”Shaw 说，他蹲在他身后，给几支不同的枪上膛。

“Well I mean, you just seem” he paused “conflicted.”
“嗯，我是说，你只是看起来，”他停顿了一下，“很矛盾。

“Conflicted?” Shaw echoed.
“冲突吗？”“Shaw 附和道。

“If you want to talk about it” Reese had tried but suddenly he felt the barrel of a gun pressed to the back of his head, Shaw standing over him.
“如果你想谈谈它，”Reese 试过，但突然他感觉到枪管压在他的后脑勺上，Shaw 站在他身边。

“Don’t make me shoot you” her tone was beyond bored, and that was their conversation over. She had briefly wondered whether Reese even knew the half of what was going on between them, but figured quickly she didn’t really care, as long as she didn’t have to go through the torture of talking about it with him. And when Reese wasn’t trying to ask her awkward questions she had unwillingly found herself thinking about the other woman anyway, she tried to imagine what it might be like being married and thought about what Root had said when she had been stitching Shaw up. She thought about what her life had been like pre-Root, how well versed she had once been at taking care of herself. Keeping to herself. Not letting anyone too close. And then she thought about how the last few months had been, she would end up at Root’s without thinking twice about it. She would get a shot to the shoulder and let Root stitch her up despite the fact she was more than capable, if not miles better than Root was when it came to medical.
“别让我开枪打你”她的语气无聊得无聊，他们的谈话就这样结束了。她曾短暂地怀疑过 Reese 是否知道他们之间发生的事情的一半，但很快就发现她并不真正在乎，只要她不必经历与他谈论这件事的 折磨 。 当 Reese 不想问她尴尬的问题时，她发现自己无论如何都会想着另一个女人，她试图想象结婚会是什么样子 ， 并思考 Root 在她缝合 Shaw 时所说的话。 她想起了她在 Root 之前的生活，她曾经多么精通照顾自己。保持自我。不让任何人靠得太近。然后她想起了过去几个月的情况，她会不假思索地来到 Root's。她会打一针肩膀，让 Root 缝合她，尽管她的能力绰绰有余，甚至比 Root 在医疗方面要好得多。

She thought about the way Root looked at her, Shaw saw that look everywhere, on dozens of other people everyday. That was the look. The look she could never give Root. The look that said, I love you and I care.
她想着 Root 看她的样子，Shaw 每天都能看到那种眼神，每天都出现在其他几十个人身上。就是那个样子。她永远无法给 Root 的眼神。那个说，我爱你，我在乎的眼神。

She thought about how insistent Root was that she didn’t care that Shaw couldn’t feel, and how adament she was that Shaw was different. But the problem Shaw realised was that she couldn’t verify that. She couldn’t tell Root what she wanted to hear, she couldn’t tell Root that yes, she had changed, because she didn’t know. And what she didn’t know, could hurt Root. Would hurt her. Maybe it wouldn’t straight away, but one day Root would hate her.
她想着 Root 是多么坚持，她不在乎 Shaw 没有感受，她是多么的认为 Shaw 与众不同。但 Shaw 意识到的问题在于她无法验证这一点。她不能告诉鲁特她想听的话，她不能告诉鲁特，是的，她已经改变了，因为她不知道。而她不知道的事情，可能会伤害到鲁特。会伤害她。也许不会马上就这样，但总有一天 Root 会恨她。

There was no way that this marriage would work, it was doomed from the start. Shaw wasn’t cut out for this. She couldn’t force herself to be something that she wasn’t.
这桩婚事不可能成功，从一开始就注定要失败。Shaw 并不适合这样做。她不能强迫自己成为她不是的东西。

Her fingered played with the ring that she kept in her jacket pocket, tracing the edges that she had already memorised.
她的手指把玩着她放在夹克口袋里的戒指，描摹着她已经记住的边缘。

It was easy shooting people, she knew they were bad guys. It was harder when it came to your own life. But she could only assume, she was the bad guy, and Root was the good guy in this scene. And Shaw protected the good guy, and took out the bad.
射杀人很容易，她知道他们是坏人。当涉及到你自己的生活时，情况就更难了。但她只能假设，她是坏人，而 Root 就是这场戏中的好人。而 Shaw 保护了好人，干掉了坏人。

*

As Shaw opened the door to her apartment Bear immediately wrenched away from her, his strength enough to pull his leash out of Shaw’s hand as he bolted through the door. Shaw watched him in confusion as she pulled her jacket off and shut the door, looking up and she saw Root on her couch and Bear happily trying to lick her face.
当 Shaw 打开她公寓的门时，Bear 立即从她身边挣脱出来，他的力量足以在 Shaw 冲进门时将皮带从 Shaw 的手中拉出。Shaw 困惑地看着他，她脱下外套关上门，抬起头来，她看到 Root 坐在沙发上，Bear 高兴地试图舔她的脸。

“Well that was disloyal” Shaw grumbled and Root turned around, Bear seizing the opportunity to put his paws on her knees and reach forward to lick all the way up the side of her face. Root’s nose scrunched up, and an adorable smile stretched across her face as she tried to wrangle Bear back onto the ground.
“嗯，那太不忠诚了，”Shaw 抱怨道，Root 转过身来，Bear 抓住机会把爪子放在她的膝盖上，然后向前伸手舔她的脸侧。Root 的鼻子皱了起来，当她试图将 Bear 拉回地上时，她的脸上露出可爱的笑容。

“I have Chinese” Root said using her foot to point at the takeaways that were sitting on the coffee table in front of her.
“我有中国人，”Root 说，用脚指着她面前咖啡桌上的外卖。

“Okay” Shaw said disappearing into the bathroom to check her stitches. Root got up from the couch and awkwardly hovered in the middle of the room, sensing the tension in the air between them.
“好的，”Shaw 说，消失在浴室里检查她的针脚。Root 从沙发上站起来，笨拙地盘旋在房间中央，感觉到他们之间空气中的紧张气氛。

“Are you okay?” she called out and a crash from the bathroom came in response.
“你还好吗？”她喊道，浴室里传来的撞击声作为回应。

“Don’t ask me that” Shaw replied moments later.
“别问我这个，”Shaw 片刻后回答。

“You just didn’t seem normal today” Root said “Even for you.”
“你今天看起来不太正常，”鲁特说，“即使对你来说也是如此。

Shaw reappeared pulling her tank back down over her freshly dressed stitches. “And what does my normal look like, Root?”
Shaw 再次出现，将她的背心拉回她新穿的针脚上。“那我的正常情况是什么样子的，Root？”

Root pursed her lips and folded her arms staunchly across her chest, her face relaxing into a deadpan. “Root,” she said, her lips the only thing moving, “I’m going to shoot you if you don’t shut up, and not in the kneecaps.”
Root 抿起嘴唇，双臂坚定地交叉在胸前，她的脸放松下来，面无表情。“鲁特，”她说，她的嘴唇是唯一动弹不得的，“如果你不闭嘴，我就开枪打死你，而且不要打你的膝盖骨。

Shaw lifted an eyebrow at Root’s impression. “Okay, not bad” Shaw shrugged and Root kept her arms folded. Shaw walked past her to the coffee table, examining the contents of the various takeaway boxes and picking up a pair of chopsticks.
Shaw 对 Root 的印象挑了挑眉毛。“好吧，还不错”Shaw 耸耸肩，Root 一直抱着双臂。Shaw 从她身边走到咖啡桌前，检查了各种外卖盒的内容，并拿起了一双筷子。

“Do you mind that I’m here?” Root asked turning to face Shaw.
“你介意我在这里吗？”鲁特转身面对肖问道。

“No” Shaw replied focused on the food.
“没有，”Shaw 回答说，专注于食物。

“Would you tell me if you did?”
“如果你告诉我，你有没有？”

“You’d be outside on your ass if I did.”
“如果我这样做了，你就会在外面。”

“Are you-”
“你是——”

“What’s with all the questions, Root?” Shaw asked falling back onto the sofa and digging her chopsticks into a box.
“怎么了，Root？”Shaw 问道，她坐回沙发上，把筷子挖进一个盒子里。

“I don’t know” Root frowned, “I feel like you’re mad at me about this morning”
“我不知道，”Root 皱起眉头，“我觉得你今天早上对我很生气。

Shaw stopped eating and restrained herself from rolling her eyes. “I told you it was fine.”
Shaw 停止了进食，克制住自己不翻白眼。“我说过没事。”

“Doesn’t mean you meant it.” Root said and Shaw groaned. “See you are mad.”
“不代表你是认真的。”鲁特说，肖呻吟起来。“看你疯了。”

“Root,” Shaw scolded. “If I’m angry that’s because it’s my default and it’s got nothing to do with you.”
“鲁特，”肖骂道。“如果我生气，那是因为这是我的默认设置，与你无关。”

Root finally sat down beside Shaw and picked up the other pair of chopsticks. “I need to know.”
鲁特终于在肖身边坐下，拿起了另一双筷子。“我需要知道。”

“Know what?” Shaw asked in between mouthfuls.
“知道吗？”Shaw 在两口之间问道。

“If we’re getting a divorce or not” Root said, “because you seem to be making a bigger deal out of this than me”
“我们是否要离婚，”鲁特说，“因为你似乎比我更能处理这件事。

“That’s not true” Shaw deflected.
“那不是真的，”Shaw 转移了话题。

“It is, Sam” Root said more softly, “and I can’t figure out why that is.”
“是的，山姆，”鲁特更轻柔地说，“我不知道为什么会这样。

“What does it matter” Shaw said not looking at her.
“这有什么关系，”Shaw 说，没有看她。

“Sameen,” Root put both her food and the chopsticks down.
“Sameen，”Root 把食物和筷子都放下了。

Shaw knew there wasn’t any escaping this now, so she turned towards Root. “So maybe it has something to do with my parents” she shrugged, “their marriage seemed, more than just a mutual agreement, it was….I don’t know deeper than that, or maybe it’s because of you, and what you think about this” Shaw stared at her chopsticks, and Root could feel her heart beating in her chest. “Or maybe it’s just because I’m going to hurt you and not be able to do anything about it.” Shaw said and sent her box of noodles skidding across the coffee table out of frustration.
Shaw 知道现在没有办法逃脱了，所以她转向 Root。“所以，也许这与我父母有关，”她耸耸肩，“他们的婚姻似乎不仅仅是双方的协议，而是......我不知道比这更深，或者也许是因为你，以及你对这件事的看法。”肖盯着她的筷子，鲁特能感觉到她的心在胸口跳动。“或者，也许只是因为我要伤害你，却无能为力。”Shaw 说着，沮丧地把她的一盒面条滑过咖啡桌。

“You never talk about your parents” Root said quietly, not daring to reach out and put a hand on Shaw’s knee as much as her fingers itched to.
“你从来不谈论你的父母，”鲁特轻声说，不敢伸手把一只手放在肖的膝盖上，就像她的手指发痒一样。

“Nothing has to change, Sameen” she said, “I promise.”
“什么都不用改变，萨梅恩，”她说，“我保证。

“What if it does?”
“如果真是这样呢？”

“Then we’ll figure it out” Root said her dark eyes fixed on Shaw’s face.
“那我们就想办法吧，”Root 说，她漆黑的眼睛盯着 Shaw 的脸。

“And if we can’t?”
“如果我们不能呢？”

“Shaw, stop it” Root said “At least we would have tried, our drunken selves seemed to think this was a world class idea, and they say your intoxicated self is just an exaggeration of you…so”
“肖，住手，”鲁特说，“至少我们会尝试一下，我们醉酒的自己似乎认为这是一个世界级的主意，他们说你醉酒的自我只是夸大其词......所以”

“I don’t know who said that but that science is definitely dodgy” Shaw said glancing at Root who just sighed, beginning to wonder if there was any point bothering anymore. Every time she tried to convince Shaw, she only got shut down.
“我不知道是谁说的，但那门科学绝对是狡猾的，”Shaw 说，瞥了一眼 Root，Root 只是叹了口气，开始怀疑是否还有必要再打扰了。每次她试图说服 Shaw 时，她都被关闭了。

“Maybe your axis II has an exception” Root said deflating against the back of the couch. Shaw looked at her expectantly.
“也许你的轴 II 有个例外，”Root 说，靠在沙发靠背上泄气。Shaw 期待地看着她。

“Me.” Root said, her fingers twisting her wedding ring round and round her finger, slowly working it up towards her knuckle. Shaw watched her in silence, staring at her fingers, watching the ring slowly creep further and further from where it had comfortably sat at the base of Root’s finger for days now.
“我。”Root 说，她的手指在她的手指上拧来扭去，慢慢地向上滑向她的指关节。Shaw 默默地看着她，盯着她的手指，看着戒指慢慢地从它舒适地放在 Root 指根处几天的地方越来越远。

“Don’t do that” Shaw said suddenly and Root’s eyes widened a little. “Just, leave it there.”
“不要那样做，”Shaw 突然说，Root 的眼睛睁大了一点。“就，就这样。”

“Really?” Root asked trying to bite back a smile.
“真的吗？”Root 问道，试图忍住笑容。

“Pass me my noodles,” Shaw replied.
“把我的面条递给我，”Shaw 回答。

Chapter Text

“Holding hands will not cause collateral damage, Sam” Root said her legs happily swinging as she sat perched on the edge of the kitchen counter, watching Shaw pour cornflakes. “And if it does, I will personally clean it up.”
“牵手不会造成附带伤害，山姆，”鲁特说，她坐在厨房柜台的边缘，看着肖倒玉米片，双腿愉快地摆动着。“如果是这样，我会亲自清理。”

“How big of you” Shaw said “but it’s still a no.” Shaw shoved a spoon into one of the bowls and turned around to pass it to Root.
“你有多大，”Shaw 说，“但这仍然不行。Shaw 将勺子塞进其中一个碗中，然后转身递给 Root。

“Please, baby” Root said with an irresistible pout and flutter of her eyelashes. Shaw rolled her eyes.
“求求你了，宝贝，”Root 说，她无法抗拒地噘着嘴，睫毛颤动着。Shaw 翻了个白眼。

“Don’t do that” she said and Root’s innocent look immediately twisted into a smirk.
“不要那样做，”她说，Root 无辜的眼神立即扭曲成得意的笑容。

“Do what?” Root asked wrapping her legs around Shaw’s waist before she had a chance to move. Shaw stared at her in disbelief holding her hands above Root’s legs, purposefully not touching her.
“做什么？”Root 问道，在她有机会移动之前，她的双腿缠住了 Shaw 的腰。Shaw 难以置信地盯着她，双手举过 Root 的腿，故意不碰她。

“Pretend to be cute so I do what you want” Shaw said as Root tipped some milk into her cornflakes with a cheeky smile still catching the corners of her mouth.
“装个可爱，这样我就做什么，”Shaw 说，Root 把一些牛奶倒进她的玉米片里，嘴角还挂着厚颜无耻的笑容。

“I am cute” she demanded.
“我很可爱，”她问道。

“No,” Shaw said “You’re a psychopath.”
“不，”Shaw 说，“你是个精神病患者。

Shaw watched as Root began to lift a spoonful of cornflakes up to her mouth, and then quickly pressed her fingers between Root’s legs at her centre, watching Root immediately splutter dropping the spoon back into the bowl with a splash, milk dripping down her chin.
Shaw 看着 Root 开始把一勺玉米片举到她的嘴边，然后迅速地将手指按在 Root 的两腿之间，看着 Root 立即啪啪作响地把勺子扔回碗里，牛奶顺着她的下巴滴落。

“And now you’re a loser” Shaw said breaking free from Root’s legs as they loosened around her. There wasn’t a lot to get used to having Root around her every morning. It was like Root had promised, nothing much had changed from how they had usually operated. Except for the fact she kept catching Root staring at her, like all the time. Which she always had anyway, but now it was the look, and so Shaw always pretended to ignore her, like she never saw it. It had been almost three weeks now since they had gotten married, and neither of them had killed each other yet. It seemed promising to Shaw.
“现在你是个失败者，”Shaw 说，当 Root 的双腿在她周围松开时，他挣脱了她的束缚。每天早上有 Root 在她身边并没有太多需要适应的事情。就像鲁特承诺的那样，他们平时的运作方式并没有太大的变化。除了她一直发现 Root 一直盯着她看。反正她一直都有这种眼神，但现在是那个眼神，所以 Shaw 总是假装无视她，就像她从来没有看到过一样。他们结婚已经快三个星期了，他们俩还没有互相残杀。这对 Shaw 来说似乎很有希望。

“We’re gonna be late” Shaw said as she started pulling her clothes on “Can we take the bike?”
“我们会迟到的，”Shaw 说，她开始拉衣服，“我们可以骑自行车吗？

Root smirked as she wiped the milk off her face. “You’re not gonna come when I rev the engine again are you?”
Root 得意地笑着擦掉脸上的牛奶。“我再发动引擎的时候，你不会来吧？”

Shaw glared at her. “I didn’t come,” she protested.
Shaw 瞪着她。“我没来，”她抗议道。

“Okay” Root licked the spoon and hopped off the counter.
“好吧”Root 舔了舔勺子，从柜台上跳了下来。

“Can I drive?” Shaw asked pulling her jacket on.
“我可以开车吗？”Shaw 拉着她的夹克问道。

“No” Root said firmly, “because then what will you fantasise about all day?”
“不，”鲁特坚定地说，“因为那样你整天都会幻想什么呢？

“Torturing you” Shaw shot back and Root grinned.
“折磨你，”Shaw 反驳道，Root 咧嘴一笑。

“You know I’d like that.”
“你知道我想要那个。”

“Murder.” Shaw said waiting by the door, “yours specifically.”
“谋杀。”Shaw 在门口等着说，“特别是你的。

“How sweet” Root said pulling on her jeans and boots, fetching her leather motorcycle jacket off the back of a chair and then grabbing both the helmets, tossing one to Shaw.
“真甜蜜，”Root 说着，拉上她的牛仔裤和靴子，从椅背上取下她的皮革机车夹克，然后抓起两个头盔，把一个扔给 Shaw。

“Don’t you think we should tell Harold?” Shaw asked as they bounced down the stairs to the garage.
“你不觉得我们应该告诉哈罗德吗？”Shaw 问道，他们蹦蹦跳跳地走下楼梯到车库。

“But it’s our little secret” Root said close behind Shaw, so close that Shaw swore she could feel Root’s breath on her neck.
“但这是我们的小秘密，”Root 紧跟在 Shaw 身后说，如此之近，以至于 Shaw 发誓她能感觉到 Root 的呼吸在她的脖子上。

“It’s not exactly little” Shaw pointed out.
“这并不完全  是小事 ，”Shaw 指出。

“Secrets are fun” Root said and Shaw sighed.
“秘密很有趣，”Root 说，Shaw 叹了口气。

“He’s going to find out sooner or later, and so are Reese and Fusco” Shaw said.
“他迟早会发现的，Reese 和 Fusco 也是如此，”Shaw 说。

“How do you know?” Root asked.
“你怎么知道的？”鲁特问道。

“Because you’re always goddamn staring at me” Shaw said whirling around to face Root as they reached her motorbike.
“因为你他妈的总是盯着我看，”Shaw 说，当他们走到她的摩托车前时，他转身面对 Root。

“I’ve always stared at you, Sameen” Root said with a smile and leaning in to give her a kiss, but Shaw blocked her by pulling her helmet on with a vaguely amused smirk.
“我一直盯着你看，Sameen，”Root 笑着说，俯身给她一个吻，但 Shaw 拉上她的头盔，露出一个隐约有趣的笑容，挡住了她。

“Just means you can’t hold my hand at work” Shaw said with a nonchalant shrug as she climbed onto the back of Root’s motorbike as Root just stared at her taken aback.
“只是意味着你在工作中不能牵着我的手，”Shaw 漫不经心地耸耸肩说，她爬上了 Root 的摩托车后座，而 Root 只是吃惊地盯着她。

Root got a message from The Machine halfway to Finch’s telling her that Shaw was needed near the west side of Central Park, and so without warning did a U turn in the middle of the road, her leg so close to the ground the friction almost ripped through her jeans. She pulled over when she saw Reese standing on the sidewalk waiting. Shaw tried to get off as quickly as possible, but it wasn’t before Reese caught sight of where both her hands had been sitting on Root’s upper thighs. She moved her hands immediately seeing the look he was giving her, and leapt off the bike pulling off the helmet and tossing it to Root.
Root 在给 Finch 的半路上收到了 The Machine 的消息，告诉她中央公园西侧附近需要 Shaw，所以毫无征兆地在路中间掉头，她的腿离地面太近了，摩擦几乎撕裂了她的牛仔裤。当她看到 Reese 站在人行道上等待时，她把车停了下来。Shaw 试图尽快下车，但 Reese 才看到她的双手一直放在 Root 的大腿上部。她立即看到他给她的眼神，立即动了动手，从自行车上跳下来，摘下头盔，把它扔给了 Root。

“Good morning,” Reese said but it sounded more like a question than it did a statement. Shaw didn’t answer, she felt Root’s eyes on her back as she walked towards Reese.
“早上好，”Reese 说，但这听起来更像是一个问题，而不是一个声明。Shaw 没有回答，当她走向 Reese 时，她感觉到 Root 的目光注视着她的背。

“Sam” Root said and Shaw felt obliged to turn around, where Root was sitting on her bike. She took a few steps back towards Root and stared at her blankly.
“山姆”鲁特说，肖觉得有义务转身，鲁特正坐在她的自行车上。她向 Root 后退了几步，茫然地盯着她。

“What?” She said and Root just stared at her, with those goddamn puppy dog eyes, all chocolate brown and melty. “Don’t you dare kiss me.” Shaw growled through gritted teeth.
“什么？”她说，Root 只是盯着她，那双该死的小狗眼睛，全是巧克力棕色和融化的。“你敢吻我。”Shaw 咬牙切齿地咆哮着。

“What if I want to?” Root said her voice quiet so Reese wouldn’t hear.
“如果我愿意呢？”鲁特说她的声音小了，这样瑞茜就不会听到。

“You’ll lose a finger” Shaw threatened and Root simply tucked a strand of Shaw’s loose hair behind her ear with her leather gloved hand.
“你会失去一根手指的，”Shaw 威胁道，Root 只是用戴着皮手套的手把 Shaw 的一缕松散的头发塞到耳后。

“And how would that benefit you, sweetie?” Root asked and Shaw just swatted her arm away.
“那对你有什么好处呢，亲爱的？”Root 问道，Shaw 只是甩开了她的手臂。

“I’m going.” Shaw said and turned away from her, feeling her eyes still tearing holes in her back.
“我要走。”Shaw 说着转过身去，感觉到她的眼睛还在背上撕扯着。

“Good to go?” Reese asked and Shaw just nodded.
“好吗？”Reese 问道，Shaw 只是点点头。

“Have a good day kids” Root called out from behind them, her engine suddenly roaring to life, then suddenly it revved again, and again, the engine growling loudly, the sound ripping through Shaw’s body. She turned around slightly at the deep throaty rumble looking at Root who gave her a satisfied smirk before driving off.
“孩子们，祝你有美好的一天”Root 在他们身后喊道，她的引擎突然轰鸣起来，然后突然又一次地加速，引擎大声咆哮，声音撕裂了 Shaw 的身体。她在低沉的嘶哑隆隆声中微微转过身来，看着鲁特，鲁特在开车离开之前给了她一个满意的笑容。

“I hate her.” Shaw muttered and Reese just chuckled.
“我恨她。”Shaw 咕哝着，Reese 只是咯咯地笑了起来。

“Sure you do.”
“你当然知道。”

*

When Shaw and Reese returned to Finch’s they found Root standing in front of the computer screens, her hands tucked into the back pockets of her jeans. Shaw cleared her throat and Root spun around immediately.
当 Shaw 和 Reese 回到 Finch 时，他们发现 Root 站在电脑屏幕前，双手插在牛仔裤的后袋里。Shaw 清了清嗓子，Root 立即转过身来。

“Where’s Finch?” Reese asked leaning his rather large gun against Harold’s desk.
“芬奇在哪儿？”Reese 问道，把他那把相当大的枪靠在 Harold 的桌子上。

“Here,” Harold called out from the library and Reese followed the sound of his voice out of the room.
“来，”哈罗德从图书馆里喊道，里斯跟着他的声音走出了房间。

“Did you have fun shooting people?” Root asked walking over to Shaw.
“你射人玩得开心吗？”鲁特走到肖身边问道。

“It was great,” Shaw replied well aware of their meaningless conversation as Root got closer, and closer to her.
“太好了，”Shaw 回答道，随着 Root 越来越近，越来越接近她，他们毫无意义的谈话。

“I wouldn’t” Shaw warned glancing at the narrowing gap between their bodies.
“我不会的，”Shaw 警告道，瞥了一眼他们身体之间越来越小的缝隙。

“Or what, Sameen?” Root asked her hand coming up to Shaw’s jaw as she slowly leaned in, but Shaw pulled away, and less than a second later both Finch and Reese reappeared in the room. Shaw awkwardly took a few steps away from Root.
“或者什么，Sameen？”Root 问道，当 Shaw 慢慢靠进去时，她的手伸到她的下巴上，但 Shaw 拉开了，不到一秒钟后，Finch 和 Reese 都重新出现在房间里。Shaw 笨拙地从 Root 身边走了几步。

“You two are acting very strange lately” Finch didn’t hesitate to point out and Shaw just rolled her eyes.
“你们俩最近表现得很奇怪，”Finch 毫不犹豫地指出，而 Shaw 只是翻了个白眼。

“Maybe it’s time to send Root to the psych ward again?” Shaw asked and suddenly felt a sharp pain in her arm, as Root belted her with the nearest book.
“也许是时候再次将 Root 送进精神病房了？”Shaw 问道，突然感到手臂一阵剧痛，因为 Root 用最近的书给她系上了腰带。

“It’s not just her, Ms Shaw” Finch said looking between them as he sat down.
“不仅仅是她，肖女士，”芬奇说，一边坐下，一边看着他们。

“Yeah Sameen,” Root said playing into Harold’s questions, “You have been acting strangely…it’s almost like you care”
“是的，Sameen，”Root 回答 Harold 的问题，“你一直表现得很奇怪......这几乎就像你在  乎一样”

Shaw stared at her unblinking, silence filling the space around them all.
Shaw 一眨不眨地盯着她，周围的空间里一片寂静。

“She definitely needs a trip to the psych ward, Harold” Shaw said finally and looked away from Root who half smiled.
“她肯定需要去一趟精神病房，哈罗德，”肖终于说了，把目光从鲁特身上移开，鲁特半笑半笑。

“Are you dating or something?” Reese’s voice suddenly interjected and again the room went quiet, Harold’s eyes widening at the abruptness of the question, even Root looked slightly caught off guard.
“你是在约会还是其他什么？”里斯的声音突然打断了他，房间里又一次安静了下来，哈罗德因为这个问题的突然而睁大了眼睛，就连鲁特也显得有些措手不及。

“Or are you just sleeping together?” Reese asked looking solely at Shaw, who was just looking fed up.
“还是你们只是睡在一起？”Reese 问道，只看着 Shaw，他看起来只是受够了。

“Mr Reese” Harold chastised “Ms Groves and Ms Shaw’s personal lives should be none of our concern”
“里斯先生”哈罗德斥责道“格罗夫斯女士和肖女士的个人生活不应该是我们关心的问题”

Reese glanced at him with a wicked smirk spreading across his face. “But they’re bringing it into the workplace”
Reese 瞥了他一眼，脸上露出邪恶的笑容。“但他们正在将其带入工作场所”

Root opened her mouth to protest, looking like a guilty school child in the principals office, she wasn’t used to being caught. Ever.
Root 张开嘴抗议，看起来像校长办公室里一个有罪的小学生，她不习惯被抓住。曾。

“Shut up, John” Shaw sighed.
“闭嘴，约翰，”Shaw 叹了口气。

“Am I wrong?” Reese asked and Shaw looked directly at him.
“我错了吗？”Reese 问道，Shaw 直视着他。

“Yes” she replied.
“是的，”她回答。

Reese glanced at Root for a second confirmation and she just nodded.
Reese 看了 Root 一眼，再次确认，她只是点了点头。

“Okay well now that terribly awkward conversation is out of the way, does anyone want to get back to work?” Harold asked.
“好吧，既然那场非常尴尬的谈话已经过去了，有人想回去工作吗？”哈罗德问道。

“About time” Shaw grumbled, not being able to help briefly looking over at Root who was still looking mildly confused about what had just happened.
“差不多了，”Shaw 抱怨道，忍不住短暂地看了一眼 Root，他看起来仍然对刚刚发生的事情有些困惑。

*

Later that day Shaw found herself handcuffed and stuck in the back of a police car, it wasn’t anything she hadn’t dealt with before. If anything just a slight annoyance, that was slowing her down from getting a password back to Finch. A password that she didn’t have, because she got arrested and her guy had disappeared into a crowd of people. She was untwisting a paperclip in her fingers when suddenly the car door opened and Root was dangling the keys in front of her.
那天晚些时候，Shaw 发现自己被戴上手铐，被困在警车的后座上，这并不是她以前没有处理过的事情。如果说有什么小小的烦恼的话，那就是减慢了她把密码还给 Finch 的速度。她没有密码，因为她被捕了，她的男人已经消失在人群中。她正在解开手指上的回形针，突然车门打开了，Root 正在她面前晃动钥匙。

“I’m fine” was all Shaw said as concentratedly guided the paperclip around the cuffs to find the hole that would set her free.
“我没事，”Shaw 只说了一句，同时专心致志地引导回形针绕过袖口，找到可以让她自由的洞。

“FBI, you’re in my custody now” Root shrugged and Shaw just rolled her eyes.
“联邦调查局，你现在被我拘留了”鲁特耸耸肩，肖只是翻了个白眼。

“You’re ruining my fun” Shaw protested as Root took her arm and helped her out of the car, pulling the paperclip from her fingers and dropping it on the ground but making no attempt to free her hands.
“你破坏了我的乐趣”Shaw 抗议道，Root 抓住她的手臂，把她从车里拽下来，从她的手指上拔下回形针，扔在地上，但没有试图松开她的手。

“Keys, Root” Shaw said rotating her wrists around the cuffs irritatedly, but Root wasn’t listening.
“钥匙，Root，”Shaw 恼怒地说，她的手腕绕着袖口转了一圈，但 Root 没有听。

“John knows” Root said.
“约翰知道，”鲁特说。

“I told you we should tell them” Shaw said glaring at the keys in Roots fingers. “But you like secrets” Shaw reminded her.
“我说过你应该告诉他们，”Shaw 说，瞪着 Roots 手指上的琴键。“但你喜欢秘密，”Shaw 提醒她。

“When they’re still secrets, Sam, not when everyone already knows” Root said turning Shaw around and pressing her with more force than necessary against the car, enough for Shaw to emit a soft grunt as the metal slammed into her. Root slowly took the cuffs off and Shaw pulled her hands free immediately.
“当它们仍然是秘密的时候，山姆，不是当每个人都已经知道的时候，”鲁特说着，把肖转过来，用更大的力气把她压在车上，当金属砸在她身上时，肖发出了轻柔的咕哝。Root 慢慢地取下了袖口，Shaw 立即松开了她的手。

“That was uncalled for” Shaw pointed out and Root just slid the cuffs into the back pocket of her jeans.
“那是不需要的，”Shaw 指出，Root 只是将袖口滑进了牛仔裤的后袋。

“I’m keeping these for later” she said and then looked at Shaw with a frown. “What are we going to do?”
“我把这些留着以后用，”她说，然后皱着眉头看着 Shaw。“我们该怎么办？”

“Gee, I don’t know Root, maybe we could just tell them” Shaw said as Root lifted the police tape for them to duck under.
“哎呀，我不认识鲁特，也许我们可以告诉他们，”肖说，鲁特掀开警用胶带让他们躲进去。

“What if they don’t take it well?” Root asked as they began to walk down the street, and Shaw began to wonder if the only reason Root had gone to all the trouble of bailing her out was so that they could have this conversation. It didn’t seem unlikely, especially for Root.
“如果他们不接受怎么办？”当他们开始走在街上时，Root 问道，Shaw 开始怀疑 Root 不厌其烦地救她出来的唯一原因是否是为了让他们可以进行这次对话。这似乎并非不可能，尤其是对 Root 来说。

“Who gives a fuck” Shaw shrugged and when Root stayed quiet she looked over at her. “What?” Shaw asked “you do?”
“谁在乎他妈的，”Shaw 耸耸肩，当 Root 保持沉默时，她看着她。“什么？”Shaw 问道：“你愿意吗？

Root looked guilty. “They’re our friends Sameen, and we don’t have a lot of those.”
鲁特看起来很内疚。“他们是我们的朋友 Sameen，我们没有很多这样的朋友。”

“Jesus Root, you have enough feelings for both of us” Shaw said shaking her head.
“天哪，鲁特，你对我们俩的感情都够了，”肖摇着头说。

“It’s just… sudden” Root tried to shrug it off nonchalantly.
“只是......突然“鲁特试图漫不经心地耸耸肩。

“Is it?” Shaw asked “You tased me and I shot you, then we got obsessed with each other, it’s been happening for a long while now”
“是吗？”Shaw 问道：“你尝了我的味道，我开枪打了你，然后我们就互相迷恋了，这种情况已经发生了很长时间了。

Root smiled “You’re obsessed with me?”
鲁特笑了笑，“你对我很着迷吗？

“Not the point” Shaw sighed.
“不是重点，”Shaw 叹了口气。

“That’s a yes” Root grinned.
“是的，”鲁特咧嘴一笑。

“How did that sound like a yes?” Shaw asked.
“这听起来怎么像是肯定的？”Shaw 问道。

“You deflect when you pretend something isn’t true” Root said.
“当你假装某件事不是真的时，你会转移注意力，”鲁特说。

“Everyone is just trying to wind me up today” Shaw said and shook her head, stuffing her hands into her pockets, her finger crashing against her wedding ring as if to prove her point.
“今天大家都想让我紧张起来，”Shaw 说着摇了摇头，双手口袋，手指敲打着结婚戒指，仿佛要证明她的观点。

“See, you’re doing it again” Root sounded annoyingly perky.
“看，你又来了”Root 听起来很活泼。

“You’re hot and you’re good with guns, that doesn’t mean I’m obsessed with you” Shaw pointed out, Root tried to hide her swooning by biting down hard on her lip.
“你很性感，而且你擅长枪支，这并不意味着我对你很着迷，”Shaw 指出，Root 试图通过狠狠地咬住她的嘴唇来掩盖她的昏迷。

“I think that’s exactly what it sounds like, and plus, you married me”
“我觉得这正是它听起来的样子，而且，你嫁给了我”

“You married me first, and also you haven’t kissed my forehead once and I’m always angry” Shaw said purposefully keeping her eyes straight ahead, not engaging Root was sometimes more fun than it should be.
“你先嫁给了我，而且你一次都没亲吻过我的额头，我  总是  很生气，”Shaw 故意直视前方，不与 Root 交往有时比应有的更有趣。

Root stared at Shaw in awe that she had even taken notice of their drunken vows, it was…so uncharacteristically adorable, Root thought as she stared at the woman beside her who was expressionlessly staring at the sidewalk ahead of them. Suddenly she couldn’t help herself, grabbing Shaw by the arms bringing her to a stop so they were facing each other, and Shaw had no choice but to look at her, her face still neutral as ever.
鲁特敬畏地盯着肖，她竟然注意到了他们醉酒后的誓言，这真是......如此异常可爱，Root 盯着她旁边的女人想，她面无表情地盯着他们面前的人行道。突然，她忍不住抓住了 Shaw 的手臂，让她停了下来，这样他们就面对面了，Shaw 别无选择，只能看着她，她的脸还是一如既往的平静。

“You’re right” Root admitted and took Shaw’s face in her hands before placing a light kiss on her forehead while Shaw stared off to the side trying not to roll her eyes.
“你说得对，”Root 承认道，并用手捧住 Shaw 的脸，然后在她的额头上轻轻亲了一下，而 Shaw 则盯着一边，试图不翻白眼。

“So lame” Shaw said giving her a light shove as she kept walking.
“太蹩脚了，”Shaw 说，在她继续走路时轻轻推了她一把。

“If I agree to telling Harry and John, will you agree to something?” Root asked falling back into step beside Shaw.
“如果我同意告诉哈利和约翰，你会同意什么吗？”鲁特问道，回到肖身边。

“Depends.”
“视情况而定。”

“Grocery shopping” Root said.
“杂货店购物，”鲁特说。

“Seriously?” Shaw asked, “No.”
“真的吗？”“肖问道：”没有。

“Sam, one of our places needs actual food that’s not just leftover takeout” Root said “And besides, we could pretend we’re normal people for 20 minutes, it could be fun”
“山姆，我们其中一个地方需要真正的食物，而不仅仅是吃剩的外卖”鲁特说，“此外，我们可以假装我们是普通人 20 分钟，这可能会很有趣”

“Grocery shopping is not fun” Shaw pointed out.
“杂货店购物并不好玩，”Shaw 指出。

“But you love food” Root argued back.
“但你喜欢食物，”鲁特反驳道。

Shaw thought about it for a moment, it was barely anything that Root was asking for especially in return for wanting to tell Harold. She sighed.
Shaw 想了想，这几乎不是 Root 所要求的任何东西，尤其是作为他想告诉 Harold 的回报。她叹了口气。

“Fine, but we’re getting pizza tonight after we tell Harold” Shaw demanded and Root smiled.
“好吧，但今晚 我们要吃披萨 ，等  我们告诉哈罗德之后”肖问道，鲁特笑了。

“We’re pretty good at this” she said chirpily.
“我们很擅长这个，”她轻快地说。

“What?”
“什么？”

“Marriage” she said.
“结婚，”她说。

Chapter Text

Harold looked between the two women expectantly. Shaw sat sprawled out on the chair opposite where he was sitting at his desk, and Root was hovering to the side her hands nervously jammed in the pockets of her leather jacket.
哈罗德满怀期待地看着这两个女人。Shaw 摊懒地坐在他对面的椅子上，Root 则悬停在一边，双手紧张地插在皮夹克的口袋里。

“I always find that these things go better when words are involved” he said his eyes bouncing between the two of them with both suspicion and anxiety.
“我总是发现，当涉及到文字时，这些事情会变得更好，”他说，他的眼睛在他们两个之间来回跳动，既怀疑又焦虑。

“Don’t you want to bask in the glory of Root’s silence? Shaw asked doing her best to control a smirk that was trying to appear on her face.
“你不想沐浴在鲁特沉默的荣耀中吗？Shaw 问道，她尽力控制着脸上试图出现的笑容。

“Quite the contrary Ms Shaw, I find her silence to be…rather daunting” he said and looked at Root. “It takes more than a vast amount of effort to render Ms Groves silent.”
“恰恰相反，Shaw 女士，我发现她的沉默是......相当令人生畏，“他说着，看着鲁特。“让格罗夫斯女士保持沉默需要付出的不仅仅是大量的努力。”

“I agree” Shaw said drumming her fingers on the arms of the chair. “Like a couple of bullets to the head, or trying to deliver big news to people she thinks are going to judge her.”
“我同意，”Shaw 说，用手指敲打着椅子的扶手。“比如头上打了几颗子弹，或者试图向她认为会评判她的人传递重大新闻。”

Harold looked confused as he glanced at Root who was now sending annoyed glares at Shaw.
哈罗德一脸困惑，瞥了一眼鲁特，而鲁特现在正恼怒地瞪着肖。

“Ms Groves” Harold said snapping her attention back to him, “if you think I’m going to judge…”
“格罗夫斯女士，”哈罗德说，把注意力拉回到他身上，“如果你觉得我要评判的话......”

“We’re married” Root suddenly blurted out, the words bursting off her tongue and echoing throughout the room. Shaw lifted an eyebrow at the abrupt delivery.
“我们结婚了”Root 突然脱口而出，这些话从她的舌头中迸发出来，回荡在整个房间里。Shaw 对这突如其来的投球挑了挑眉毛。

“You’re…what?” Harold said quite obviously shocked, his eyes wide behind his round frames.
“你......什么？哈罗德说，显然很震惊，他的眼睛睁大了，躲在他圆圆的框架后面。

“Married.” Shaw said getting to her feet, taking a couple of steps closer to Root and unsentimentally whacking her ass to make her jump. Harold watched in disbelief.
“结婚了。”Shaw 说着站了起来，靠近 Root 几步，冷静地敲打着她的屁股，让她跳起来。哈罗德难以置信地看着。

“To each other?” he clarified.
“对彼此？”

“That seems to be the case,” Shaw said with a shrug and glanced at Root who was staring at Harold as if she were willing him to say anything that would ease her mind about what he thought.
“看来是这样的，”肖耸耸肩说，瞥了一眼盯着哈罗德的鲁特，仿佛她愿意他说任何能让她放心他的想法的话。

“There’s even a video” Shaw said deciding she may as well get as much amusement out of this situation as possible. The inability to feel awkward definitely had its moments.
“甚至还有一个视频， ”Shaw 说，她决定她不妨尽可能多地从这种情况中获得乐趣。无法感到尴尬肯定有其时刻。

“A video” Harold could only seem to echo as he tried to process what he had just heard.
“一段视频”哈罗德似乎只能回声，试图消化他刚刚听到的内容。

“Oh, and then there was the consummation” Shaw gave another nonchalant shrug. “That part wasn’t so bad” she said looking towards Root with a smirk.
“哦，然后是圆满”Shaw 又漫不经心地耸了耸肩。“那部分还不错，”她说，带着得意的笑容看着 Root。

“Ms… Shaw I really don’t think” Harold tried but Shaw quickly cut him off.
“女士......Shaw，我真的不觉得，“Harold 试着说，但 Shaw 很快就打断了他。

“I took her name too” she quickly added, “So I guess that makes me, well, what does that make me, Root?” Shaw said moving closer to Root so their faces were barely an inch apart. Root suddenly realised how close Shaw was to her face, trying not to inhale the dark bittersweet scent of her skin. She cleared her throat.
“我也取了她的名字，”她很快补充道，“所以我想这让我，嗯，那让我是什么，Root？Shaw 说，靠近 Root，这样他们的脸就相距仅一英寸了。Root 突然意识到 Shaw 离她的脸有多近，尽量不吸入她皮肤上苦乐参半的黑暗气味。她清了清嗓子。

“Mrs Groves” the words left her lips in a breath.
“格罗夫斯太太，”这句话一下子就离开了她的嘴唇。

“Something like that,” Shaw said turning back to Harold.
“差不多，”Shaw 转身对 Harold 说。

“And when did this happen?” Harold asked finally getting himself together.
“这是什么时候发生的？”哈罗德问道，终于让自己振作起来。

“That part is less important” Root said.
“这部分不太重要，”鲁特说。

“Vegas” Shaw said at the exact same time and they looked at each other, as Harold again looked between them in search of more direct answers.
“维加斯，”肖在同一时间说，他们互相看了看，哈罗德又在他们之间寻找更直接的答案。

“Vegas?”
“ 维加斯 ？”

“Are you angry, Harry?” Root finally found her voice to ask.
“你生气了吗，哈利？”Root 终于找到了她的声音来问道。

“Angry?” Harold repeated, “The only reason I would even remotely feel any aggrievement towards this would simply be because I was not invited to see two of my dear friends get married”
“生气？”哈罗德重复道，“我甚至对此感到委屈的唯一原因仅仅是因为我没有被邀请看到我两个亲爱的朋友结婚。

“See Root? It’s fine” Shaw said “Now pizza.”
“看到 Root 了吗？没事，“Shaw 说，”现在是披萨。

Both Harold and Root looked at her and she just rolled her eyes.
Harold 和 Root 都看着她，她只是翻了个白眼。

“What?”
“什么？”

Shaw looked at Root who seemed to be gazing at her with some kind of dreamy eyed thank you.
Shaw 看着 Root，Root 似乎正用某种梦幻般的眼神注视着她，谢谢你。

“You’re really married” Harold said with a shake of his head, a smile slowly starting to spread across his face.
“你真的结婚了，”哈罗德摇了摇头说，脸上慢慢地开始露出笑容。

“Indeed,” Shaw confirmed moving closer to Root with the intention of dragging her out so they could go home and get food, but Root as usual misinterpreted Shaw’s movement and took her hand, interlacing their fingers together much to Shaw’s immediate horror.
“确实，”Shaw 确认靠近 Root，打算把她拖出去，这样他们就可以回家吃东西了，但 Root 像往常一样误解了 Shaw 的动作并握住了她的手，将他们的手指交织在一起，这让 Shaw 立即感到恐惧。

“And now we can hold hands at work” Root said almost grinning ear to ear.
“现在我们可以手牵手工作了，”Root 说，几乎是咧嘴笑着。

“Okay, let’s go” Shaw pressed down as hard as she could with her fingers on Root’s knuckles, despite how warm her hand was, and despite how well it fit with hers, they were NOT holding hands.
“好，我们走吧”Shaw 用手指尽可能地压在 Root 的指关节上，尽管她的手多么温暖，尽管它与她的手非常契合，但他们并没有牵手。

“I have to ask” Harold said and Shaw almost groaned. “How long has this been going on for?”
“我得问，”哈罗德说，肖几乎要呻吟了。“这已经持续了多久？”

“Since she tried to iron me” Shaw said quickly and started to drag Root towards the door. “Now we really have to go, do…married people things”
“既然她想熨我，”Shaw 很快说，然后开始把 Root 拖向门口。“现在我们真的必须走了，做......已婚人士的事情”

“Like grocery shopping” Root said excitedly and Harold looked mildly confused as Shaw continued to drag Root away.
“就像买菜一样，”鲁特兴奋地说，哈罗德看起来有点困惑，因为肖继续把鲁特拖走。

“Night, Harold” Shaw called out.
“晚上，哈罗德，”肖喊道。

“Okay… congratulations?” Harold replied.
“好吧......恭喜你？哈罗德回答。

*

“Sam” Root shouted, the volume of her voice enough to make Shaw stir from where she was comfortably asleep on Root’s bed. Their bed. Whatever.
“山姆”鲁特喊道，她的声音音量足以让肖从她舒服地睡在鲁特床上的地方醒来。他们的床。无论什么。

“Sam, wake up, now” Root demanded, and suddenly there was a sharp jolt underneath her and she was falling, unravelling, and then seconds later hitting the floor with a sharp thud. Her eyes snapping open she lay there for a few seconds trying to register what had happened, but before she could sit up Root was towering above her.
“山姆，醒醒，  现在 ”鲁特要求道，突然她身下传来一阵剧烈的震动，她倒下了，崩溃了，几秒钟后，她砰的一声撞在了地板上。她猛地睁开眼睛，躺在那里几秒钟，试图记录发生的事情，但在她坐起来之前，Root 已经高耸在她上方。

“I’m going to kill you.” Root said and something about her tone didn’t sound playful at all. Shaw groaned and pulled herself up looking at the nest of bedding that had ended up on the floor with her.
“我要杀了你。”鲁特说，她的语气听起来一点也不俏皮。Shaw 呻吟着站起来，看着和她一起掉在地板上的一窝被褥。

“Can you make it fast?” Shaw asked glancing at the clock then brushing past Root, yawning loudly as she made her way to the bathroom.
“你能快点吗？”Shaw 问道，看了一眼时钟，然后从 Root 身边擦过，在她走向洗手间时大声打了个哈欠。

“No I won’t” Root snapped and Shaw turned on the water in the shower, pulling off what little clothing she actually had on. “It will be slow, and painful, and…” Root appeared in the doorway her eyes widening when she saw Shaw in front of her, naked, with one arm stuck out under the water in the shower testing the temperature. “What are you doing?” Root almost gasped.
“不，我不会的”Root 厉声说，Shaw 打开了淋浴间的水，脱掉了她身上的一点衣服。“它会很慢，很痛苦，而且......”Root 出现在门口，当她看到 Shaw 在她面前时，她睁大了眼睛，赤身裸体，一只手臂伸进水里测试温度。“你在干什么？”鲁特几乎喘不过气来。

“What does it look like?” Shaw asked.
“它是什么样子的？”Shaw 问道。

“You…I was just…you can’t do that” Root demanded and moved closer attempting to reach around Shaw to turn the water off, but Shaw just grabbed her arm and stopped her. Their bodies so close Shaw could feel the thin fabric of Root’s top grazing against her nipples, immediately making them stand out.
“你......我只是。。。你  不能那样做 。“Root 要求并靠近，试图绕过 Shaw 以关闭水，但 Shaw 只是抓住她的手臂阻止了她。他们的身体如此接近，Shaw 可以感觉到 Root 上衣的薄织物擦过她的，立即使它们脱颖而出。

“I can do whatever I want” Shaw said and without hesitation placed a quick kiss on Root’s lips before stepping into the shower. Root stared at her dumbstruck.
“我想做什么就做什么，”Shaw 说，毫不犹豫地在 Root 的嘴唇上快速亲了一下，然后走进淋浴间。鲁特目瞪口呆地盯着她。

“No” she tried protest, but Shaw pulled the glass door of the shower shut in her face. “Sameen, I am not okay”
“不，”她试图抗议，但 Shaw 当着她的面拉上了淋浴间的玻璃门。“Sameen，我不舒服”

“What’s wrong?” Shaw asked tipping her head back under the hot water and letting it run over her head and hair. Root blinked several times trying not to let herself get distracted.
“怎么了？”Shaw 问道，将头向后倾斜到热水中，让它流过她的头和头发。Root 眨了好几次眼，试图不让自己分心。

“You hogged the covers, again” she said folding her arms firmly across her chest.
“你又把被子弄坏了， ”她说，双臂紧紧地抱在胸前。

“I’m asleep Root, what you want me to do about it?” Shaw said.
“我睡着了，Root，你希望我怎么处理？”“Shaw 说。

“I was freezing” Root said the irritation creeping back into her voice.
“我冻僵了，”Root 说，她的声音里又悄悄地传来了恼怒。

“So move closer” Shaw countered back, glancing at Root who had a tiny frown on her forehead and a strongly clenched jaw, her mouth a tight line. Shaw lifted an eyebrow as she watched Root wondering if she was about to throw a tantrum.
“所以，靠近一点”Shaw 反驳道，瞥了一眼 Root，她的额头上微微皱起眉头，下巴紧紧咬着，嘴巴紧绷着。Shaw 看着 Root 在想她是不是要发脾气，扬起了眉毛。

“Saaaaam” Root whinged loudly “It was fucking cold.”
“Saaaaam，”Root 大声抱怨，“好他妈的冷。

Shaw didn’t know why she found Root so amusingly cute when she was mad like this, and this particular morning Shaw did a horrible job at hiding it, to the point where she had a full smirk displayed on her face for Root to see.
Shaw 不知道为什么她觉得 Root 这样生气时如此有趣可爱，而这个特别的早晨，Shaw 在隐藏它方面做得很糟糕，以至于她的脸上露出了满满的笑容让 Root 看到。

“Stop. Smirking.” Root growled throwing the shower door open letting the cold air rush in and surround Shaw’s body, but she just moved under the stream of water still unable to get the look off her face.
“停下来。傻笑。鲁特咆哮着，推开淋浴间的门，让冷空气冲进来，包围着肖的身体，但她只是在水流中移动，仍然无法摆脱脸上的表情。

“Sameen, I mean it” Root said gripping the door with her perfect black painted finger nails.
“Sameen，我是认真的，”Root 说，用她完美的黑色指甲抓着门。

“Hey, I haven’t done a thing” Shaw said and suddenly Root snapped, lurching into the shower the door slamming behind her, trapping them both inside the glass box she caught Shaw’s body against her own and forcefully pressed her up against the glass wall of the shower.
“嘿，我什么都没做，”Shaw 说，突然 Root 啪啪作响，猛然冲进淋浴间，门在她身后砰地一声关上，把他们俩困在玻璃盒子里，她把 Shaw 的身体紧紧地贴在自己的身体上，用力把她压在淋浴间的玻璃墙上。

The ice cold glass against Shaw’s body sending an unexpected pleasure rippling through her, feeling Root pressed firmly against her back.
冰冷的玻璃杯贴在 Shaw 的身体上，一股意想不到的快感在她身上荡漾，感觉到 Root 紧紧地压在她的背上。

“I do not like being cold” Root growled in her ear as Shaw’s breath started fogging up the glass.
“我不喜欢   冷，”Root 在她耳边咆哮，Shaw 的呼吸开始在玻璃上起雾。

“Are you cold now?” Shaw asked.
“你现在冷吗？”Shaw 问道。

“Shut up” Root taunted pressing herself further against Shaw, getting her arms and splaying them up against the glass near her head, lacing her fingers through Shaw’s over the back of her hand. Root’s white shirt was now thoroughly soaked, with the hot water spraying directly onto her back in a steady flow, the thin fabric clinging to her skin.
“闭嘴”Root 嘲讽道，将自己进一步压在 Shaw 身上，用她的手臂在她头附近的玻璃上张开，用手指穿过 Shaw 的手背。Root 的白衬衫现在已经彻底湿透了，热水源源不断地直接喷在她的背上，薄薄的布料紧贴着她的皮肤。

“I should trap you in an ice bath” Root threatened biting down on Shaw’s warm wet shoulder, hard enough to leave marks. A soft hiss escaped Shaw at the sudden prick of pain that she so annoyingly enjoyed.
“我应该把你困在冰浴里”Root 威胁道，咬住 Shaw 温暖湿漉漉的肩膀，坚硬到足以留下痕迹。一声轻柔的嘶嘶声从 Shaw 的突然刺痛中逃脱出来，她是如此令人讨厌地享受着。

“Or I’ll cuff you to a saltire cross, naked, and leave you there overnight” Root said her lips moved against Shaw’s skin as she spoke, her teeth dragging across her shoulder. Shaw repressed a groan, not wanting to give Root the satisfaction yet.
“或者我会把你赤身裸体地铐在一个 saltire 十字架上，让你在那里过夜”Root 说，她说话时嘴唇贴在 Shaw 的皮肤上，她的牙齿拖过她的肩膀。Shaw 压抑着呻吟，还不想让 Root 满意。

“Or you could fuck me while I’m asleep and keep both of us warm” Shaw suggested her voice husky.
“或者你可以趁我睡着的时候操我，让我们俩都保持温暖，”Shaw 建议道，她的声音沙哑。

“You want to be fucked?” Root asked “Is that is, Sam?”
“你想被操吗？”鲁特问道：“是吗，山姆？

Root trailed her tongue up Shaw’s neck and bit her earlobe, whilst slowly moving her hands off Shaw’s dragging her fingers slowly down Shaw’s arms, over her taught biceps, across her shoulders, one hand stopping to rest, the other moving to the base of her hairline, her fingers taking a firm grip at the roots of her hair before yanking her head back, towards her own shoulder. Root noticed the smile at the edges of Shaw’s mouth and pulled her head to the side kissing the stupid smile off her face roughly, her tongue pushing into Shaw’s mouth giving her a messy and wet kiss. What Root failed to anticipate was by loosening her grip on Shaw’s arms it freed her, Shaw taking the moment of Root’s distraction and spinning around driving her back against the other side of the shower, backing her into the wall, pinning her there by putting a hand firmly on either side of her head.
Root 的舌头沿着 Shaw 的脖子上滑，咬住她的耳垂，同时慢慢地将她的手从 Shaw 的手臂上移开，她的手指慢慢地沿着 Shaw 的手臂，越过她受过训练的二头肌，越过她的肩膀，一只手停下来休息，另一只手移到她的发际线根部，她的手指牢牢抓住她的发根，然后将头向后拉， 朝她自己的肩膀走去。Root 注意到 Shaw 嘴角的笑容，将她的头拉向一边，粗暴地亲吻她脸上愚蠢的笑容，她的舌头伸进 Shaw 的嘴里，给了她一个凌乱而湿润的吻。Root 没有预料到的是，松开了她对 Shaw 手臂的抓握，它让她自由了，Shaw 趁着 Root 分心的那一刻转过身来，把她推到淋浴间的另一边，把她靠在墙上，用一只手牢牢地放在她的头的两侧。

Their kiss deepened, Shaw drove her knee between Root’s legs and felt the gasp bubble on her tongue, then she pulled away.
他们的吻加深了，Shaw 将膝盖放在 Root 的两腿之间，感觉到她的舌头上冒着喘息泡，然后她抽身离开。

“Still mad?” Shaw asked.
“还生气吗？”Shaw 问道。

“Furious” Root replied.
“愤怒”Root 回答。

*

By the time Shaw managed to free herself from Root’s arms and get out of the shower she was wet, hot, breathless and so goddamn hungry. She couldn’t even remember if she’d washed her hair or not during any of that 40 minute shower. Pulling her clothes on she padded into the kitchen feeling rather dazed from spending that long under the heat of the shower. She crouched in front of Bear who happily wagged his tail and licked her face as she scratched his ears, unable to help the smile on her face whenever he clambered all over her.
当 Shaw 设法从 Root 的怀抱中挣脱出来并从淋浴间出来时，她已经湿漉漉的、热的、喘不过气来的，而且他妈的饿得要命。她甚至不记得在那 40 分钟的淋浴中她有没有洗过头。她穿上衣服，蹒跚地走进厨房，因为在淋浴的炎热下呆了那么久，她感到相当茫然。她蹲在熊面前，熊高兴地摇着他的尾巴，舔着她的脸，她抓着他的耳朵，每当他爬到她身上时，她脸上都忍不住露出笑容。

The next stop was food, except the only thing in the cupboard was an empty cornflakes box, groaning in frustration she slammed the cupboard door shut, and her eye caught the pizza box from last night that was sitting on the bench. Without thinking she lurched at it, grabbing the last slice and taking a bite. Food. Finally.
下一站是食物，除了橱柜里唯一的东西是一个空的玉米片盒，她沮丧地呻吟着，砰的一声关上了橱柜的门，她的眼睛盯上了放在长凳上的昨晚的披萨盒。她不假思索地猛地吃了一口，抓起最后一片吃了一口。食物。最后。

Root emerged from the bedroom mid hooking her bra up, her damp hair sticking to her bare skin across her chest and shoulders. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Shaw and suddenly the frown was back on her face again. Shaw took a second to realise what she had done and then immediately wiped her mouth.
Root 从卧室里出来，把她的胸罩挂上去，她湿漉漉的头发粘在她胸部和肩膀上裸露的皮肤上。当她看到 Shaw 时，她停下了脚步，突然间，她的脸上又皱起了眉头。Shaw 花了一秒钟才意识到她做了什么，然后立即擦了擦嘴。

“Shit” she mumbled and thrust the half eaten pizza towards Root “Do you want this?”
“妈的，”她喃喃自语着，把吃了一半的披萨推向 Root，“你要这个吗？

“No” Root snapped “But thanks for asking” sarcasm dripped off her voice as she spun on her heel and disappeared again.
“不，”Root 厉声说，“但谢谢你的提问，”她的声音中流露出讽刺，她转身身后又消失了。

Shaw glanced at Bear who was staring up at her expectantly.
Shaw 瞥了一眼 Bear，后者正期待地盯着她。

“Mommy’s grouchy” Shaw said to him before tossing him the piece of pizza.
“妈妈很脾气，”Shaw 对他说，然后把那块披萨扔给他。

“What did you just say?” Root annoyingly stuck her head around the bedroom door, staring at Shaw.
“你刚才说了什么？”Root 恼火地把头探到卧室门上，盯着 Shaw。

“Nothing” Shaw said with a shrug. Root huffed loudly, several loud banging and crashing sounds following before she reappeared fully dressed, pulling on her leather gloves with only one helmet wedged under her arm.
“没什么，”Shaw 耸耸肩说。Root 大声喘息，紧接着是几声巨大的砰砰声和撞击声，然后她重新出现，穿着整齐，戴着皮手套，胳膊下只夹着一个头盔。

“Where’s mine?” Shaw asked and Root stopped to stare at her.
“我的呢？”Shaw 问道，Root 停下来盯着她。

“You’re walking” she announced.
“你在走，”她宣布。

“You’re not serious” Shaw said and Root lifted her eyebrows.
“你不是认真的，”Shaw 说，Root 扬起眉毛。

“You stole the covers, and then you ate the last piece of pizza without even fucking asking” Root reminded her and Shaw rolled her eyes.
“你  偷了  被子，然后你他妈的连问都没问就吃掉了最后一块披萨”Root 提醒她，Shaw 翻了个白眼。

“You’re the one who got mad at me for hogging the covers, Root” Shaw pointed out and Root narrowed her eyes. “You’re not allowed to do that.”
“你就是那个因为我抢了被子而生气的人，Root，”Shaw 指出，Root 眯起了眼睛。“你不能那样做。”

“Fuck you” Root frowned.
“去你妈的，”Root 皱起眉头。

“You just did” Shaw said with a satisfied smirk.
“你刚才做到了，”Shaw 满意地笑着说。

“I want to push you through that wall” Root said glancing at the wall behind where Shaw was standing in the living room.
“我想把你推过那堵墙，”Root 说，瞥了一眼 Shaw 在客厅里站着的地方后面的墙。

“Go for it” Shaw said stepping towards Root so close her words brushed over the other woman face, as she grabbed the helmet from under Root’s arm.
“去吧，”Shaw 说，向 Root 走来，离得如此之近，她的话擦过另一个女人的脸，她从 Root 的胳膊下抓住了头盔。

“Let’s go, honey” Shaw said sarcastically.
“我们走吧，  亲爱的，” Shaw 讽刺地说。

*

“All I’m saying, Sameen, is that it wouldn’t kill you not to roll yourself into the blankets like a burrito every night” Root’s voice echoed through Finch’s place announcing their arrival before they were even in the room.
“我只想说，Sameen，你每晚不把自己像墨西哥卷饼一样卷进毯子里，那也没什么死。”Root 的声音在 Finch 的地方回荡，甚至在他们进入房间之前就宣布了他们的到来。

“I can’t control what I do when I’m asleep Root, why don’t you just get another blanket” Shaw groaned.
“我无法控制我睡着时做什么，Root，你为什么不再拿一条毯子呢，”Shaw 呻吟道。

“That’s beside the point, I shouldn’t have to” Root was feeling argumentative that much was glaringly obvious this morning.
“这无关紧要，我不应该这样做”Root 觉得很争论，今天早上很多事情都很明显。

“Then sleep on the couch” Shaw said trying to end the conversation.
“那就睡在沙发上吧，”Shaw 说，试图结束谈话。

“You sleep on the couch” Root shot back, “Oh but wait, that’s too close to the kitchen and you might eat the last piece of pizza in your sleep too.”
“你睡在沙发上，”鲁特反驳道，“哦，但是等等，那离厨房太近了，你可能  也会在睡梦中吃掉最后一块披萨 。

Shaw rolled her eyes as they walked into the room, Harold was sitting at his desk their arguing clearly having disrupted him from his work as he looked between the both of them with an eyebrow lifted.
当他们走进房间时，肖翻了个白眼，哈罗德坐在他的办公桌前，他们的争吵显然打断了他的工作，他抬起眉毛看着他们俩。

“Everything okay with the newly weds?” Harold asked.
“新婚夫妇还好吗？”哈罗德问道。

“Peachy” Shaw replied and Root just glared at her.
“桃色，”Shaw 回答道，Root 只是瞪了她一眼。

“Please tell me I get to shoot things today, Harry, otherwise it might end up being Sameen here” Root said folding her arms across her chest.
“请告诉我，我今天可以拍摄东西，哈利，否则这里可能会有萨梅恩。”鲁特说，双臂交叉在胸前。

“Trouble in paradise?” Reese said from behind them and Shaw sighed.
“天堂里有麻烦吗？”Reese 在他们身后说，Shaw 叹了口气。

“Numbers, Harold. Now.” Shaw demanded.
“数字，哈罗德。现在。“肖问道。

*

Before Shaw went to leave with Reese she caught Root’s arm pulling her to the side away from Harold and the computer screens.
在 Shaw 和 Reese 一起离开之前，她抓住了 Root 的手臂，将她拉到远离 Harold 和电脑屏幕的一侧。

“You’re not actually still pissed are you?” Shaw asked.
“你实际上不是还在生气吧？”Shaw 问道。

“Why? Are you worried about me Sam?” Root bit her lip.
“为什么？你担心我吗，山姆？Root 咬了咬嘴唇。

“No” Shaw replied “It’s just tiring when you’re in a mood.”
“不，”Shaw 回答说，“只是你心情好的时候很累。

“Well maybe I’ll just have to make it up to you later” Root said lowering her voice, glancing across the room making sure Harold was distracted before leaning in and catching Shaw’s bottom lip between her teeth.
“好吧，也许我以后就得补偿你了，”Root 压低了声音说，扫视了一下房间，确保 Harold 分心了，然后俯身用牙齿抓住了 Shaw 的下唇。

“Maybe a nice couples counselling session?” Root added pulling back, flashing a cheeky smirk at Shaw before sauntering back over to Harold.
“也许是一次不错的夫妻咨询会议？”鲁特补充道，向后拉，对肖露出一个厚颜无耻的笑容，然后大步走回哈罗德身边。

“What was that about?” Harold asked without even turning around. Shaw rolled her eyes and walked towards the door hearing Root reply “she just wanted to tell me how much she enjoyed the last piece of pizza, I could kill her.”
“那是怎么回事？”哈罗德甚至没有转身问道。Shaw 翻了个白眼，向门口走去，听到 Root 回答道：“她只是想告诉我她有多喜欢最后一块披萨，我可以杀了她。

Chapter Text

When Shaw got back from her run with Bear that night she was surprised to find that Root wasn’t home. She hadn’t seen her wife since this morning at Harold’s, and a brief conversation during the day halfway through an attack of Decima agents, but even then Root had sounded distracted with something else. It was nothing more than a quick heads up seconds before they appeared, and then a briefer apology seeing as it were her fault they had found Shaw in the first place.
当晚 Shaw 和 Bear 一起跑步回来时，她惊讶地发现 Root 不在家。自从今天早上在哈罗德家之后，她就再也没有见过她的  妻子  ，而且在那天中途，她在德西玛特工的袭击中进行了一次简短的交谈，但即便如此，鲁特听起来还是被其他事情分散了注意力。只不过是在他们出现前几秒钟快速提醒，然后是一个简短的道歉，因为他们一开始找到 Shaw 是她的错。

“I know you can handle yourself, sweetie” Root had said before their line had disconnected.
“我知道你能应付得自己，亲爱的，”Root 在他们的电话挂断之前说。

But now the apartment was abnormally silent aside from the sound of Bear lapping up water messily in the kitchen. Shaw wondered where Root had gotten to, figuring she was still working on a cover somewhere for The Machine. Figuring it was nothing to worry about she jumped in the shower to wash the sweat off, then collapsing on her bed and moments later falling asleep, not realising how tired she truly was.
但现在，除了小熊在厨房里乱七八糟地舔水的声音外，公寓里异常安静。Shaw 想知道 Root 去了哪里，认为她还在为 The Machine 的某个地方制作封面。她觉得这没什么好担心的，她跳进淋浴间洗掉汗水，然后瘫倒在床上，片刻之后就睡着了，没有意识到她到底有多累。

Shaw stirred in the middle of the night, bringing herself half to consciousness her eyes fluttering in the darkness of the room. Her hand automatically reaching across the bed, grazing across the sheets and finding the other side of the bed still cold and empty. Her jaw clenched and she wondered whether Root had gone to her own place for the night, and beyond that thought she tried to ignore the rest, knowing Root was more than capable of taking care of herself. Annoyingly, she could almost get herself out of any situation. She’ll be fine, Shaw told herself shutting her eyes again. But for some reason, she wasn’t convinced.
Shaw 在半夜醒来，让自己半醒半醒，她的眼睛在房间的黑暗中颤抖。她的手自动地伸过床，擦过床单，发现床的另一边仍然冰冷而空荡荡的。她咬紧了下巴，想知道 Root 是否去了她自己的地方过夜，除此之外，她试图忽略其余的事情，因为她知道 Root 完全有能力照顾自己。令人讨厌的是，她几乎可以让自己摆脱任何情况。她会没事的，Shaw 再次闭上眼睛告诉自己。但不知为何，她并不相信。

*

When she woke again with light flooding in through the window there was still no sign of Root, Bear was still peacefully napping on his bed when she wandered into the kitchen to make herself coffee. She looked around the apartment for any sign that the hacker had snuck in while she had been asleep, but everything much to her frustration was exactly where she had left it.
当她再次醒来时，光线从窗户涌进来，仍然没有 Root 的踪迹，当她走进厨房给自己煮咖啡时，Bear 还在他的床上平静地打盹。她环顾公寓，寻找黑客趁她睡着的时候偷偷溜进来的任何迹象，但令她沮丧的是，一切都恰恰是她离开的地方。

Once she had gotten changed she grabbed Bear’s leash and stood by the door.
换好衣服后，她抓住 Bear 的皮带站在门边。

“Bear” she only had to say his name once and his ears pricked up, turning his full attention to her and bounded across the room to her feet.
“熊，”她只说了一次他的名字，他的耳朵就竖了起来，把全部注意力都转向她，然后蹦蹦跳跳地穿过房间站了起来。

“Looks like we’re walking today, buddy” she said hooking his leash onto his collar and letting him pull her outside.
“看来我们今天要走路了，伙计，”她说，把他的皮带挂在他的项圈上，让他把她拉到外面。

As she walked to Harold’s she contemplated how dependent she had become with Root, feeling a quiet rise of anger bubble in her stomach. So she was married, okay. But she had never let this happen before, and she didn’t know how to stop it, or even if she could. Wanting to kick herself at the realisation that perhaps alone was not something she was ever going to be anymore, and even more, maybe she was okay with it. Or maybe she had strayed so far from herself that she had simply forgotten how to be by herself.
当她走到哈罗德家时，她思考着自己对鲁特的依赖程度，感觉到一股愤怒悄无声息地在她的胃里冒泡。所以她结婚了，好吧。但她以前从未让这种情况发生过，她不知道该如何阻止它，甚至不知道她是否可以阻止它。当她意识到也许孤独不再是她会成为的样子时，她想踢自己一脚，甚至，也许她对此没意见。或者，也许她离自己太远了，以至于她只是忘记了如何独处。

“Bear” Harold exclaimed, pleasantly surprised at the sight of the dog running towards him once they had arrived.
“熊，”哈罗德惊呼道，当他们到达时，看到那条狗向他跑来，他惊喜不已。

“He missed you” Shaw said watching the dog sniff around Harold’s shoes wagging his tail happily.
“他想你了，”Shaw 看着那只狗在哈罗德的鞋子周围嗅来嗅去，高兴地摇着他的尾巴。

“I missed him too” Harold said patting Bear’s head.
“我也想他，”哈罗德拍着熊的头说。

“Have you seen Root?” Shaw asked pretending it hadn’t been the first thing that had wanted to come out of her mouth as soon as she had walked through the door.
“你见过 Root 吗？”Shaw 问道，假装她一进门就想从她嘴里说出的第一句话。

“I haven’t” Harold said looking over at her unable to hide a slight concern. “But Sameen, you have to remember her relationship with The Machine is …well it’s intimate”
“我没有，”哈罗德说，看着她，无法掩饰一丝担忧。“但是 Sameen，你必须记住她与 The Machine 的关系是......嗯，这很亲密”

“Intimate?” Shaw echoed in distaste.
“亲密？”“肖不满地附和道。

“Poor choice of wording” Harold frowned “However true, I can only imagine she is on her own mission at The Machine’s request”
“措辞选择得真糟糕”哈罗德皱起眉头，“不管怎么说，我只能想象她是应机器的要求去执行自己的任务的。

“What if she’s in trouble?” Shaw folded her arms.
“如果她遇到麻烦怎么办？”Shaw 交叉双臂。

“The Machine always looks out for her.” Harold said.
“机器总是照顾她。”哈罗德说。

“And if it doesn’t? The Machine can’t shoot a gun, Harold, it can’t kick someone in the teeth”
“如果不是呢？机器不能开枪，哈罗德，它不能踢人的牙齿”

“And for good reason, Sameen” Harold reminded her “Ms…Root can take care of herself, she has done since she was 12”
“而且有充分的理由，Sameen，”Harold 提醒她，“女士......Root 可以照顾自己，她从 12 岁起就这样做了”

“Harold” Shaw said her voice slightly lower than usual “She’s my wife.” She almost wanted to vomit from her own words, the term still sounded so ridiculous and foreign in her mouth, and sounded almost completely false to the ear. But it was true.
“哈罗德，”肖说，她的声音比平时略低，“她是我的  妻子 。她几乎想从自己的话中吐出来，这个词在她嘴里听起来还是那么荒谬和陌生，而且听起来几乎完全是假的。但这是真的。

Harold almost looked as startled as Shaw felt at the use of the word.
哈罗德看起来几乎和肖对这个词的使用感到震惊。

“I need to know where she is, at least” Shaw said trying to sound reasonable.
“至少，我需要知道她在哪里，”Shaw 说，试图让自己听起来合理。

“I don’t know” Harold said “and She won’t tell me either.”
“我不知道，”哈罗德说，“她也不会告诉我。

“But She knows?” Shaw asked.
“但她知道？”Shaw 问道。

“Yes.” Harold said “And as long as She knows, then Root must be okay.”
“是的。”哈罗德说：“只要她知道，那么鲁特一定没事。

“I don’t know if that’s good enough for me, Harold” Shaw said and Harold frowned.
“我不知道这对我来说是否足够好，哈罗德，”肖说，哈罗德皱起眉头。

“I know you’re concerned Sameen, but unfortunately there are still people who need our help” Harold said softly. Shaw stared at him, weighing her options, before letting out a defeated sigh and throwing up her hands.
“我知道你很担心，Sameen，但不幸的是，仍然有人需要我们的帮助，”Harold 轻声说。Shaw 盯着他，权衡着她的选择，然后沮丧地叹了口气，举起了双手。

“Fine” she said knowing that bothersome itch that was her wife wouldn’t leave her alone, but until she could do something about it she may as well help Harold. “What’ve we got?” she asked.
“好吧，”她说，她知道她  妻子  的烦恼不会让她一个人呆着，但在她能做点什么之前，她还不如帮助哈罗德。“我们有什么？”

*

“This is not happening.” Shaw demanded.
“这不会发生。”“肖问道。

“Something’s definitely happening” Reese said unable to hide his amusement from where he sat, and Shaw shot him a glare.
“肯定发生了什么事，”Reese 说，无法掩饰他对自己坐的地方的好笑，Shaw 瞪了他一眼。

“No” she protested “I can’t do it.”
“不，”她抗议道，“我做不到。

“Sameen” Harold said trying to sound somewhat sympathetic in a tight, curve hugging, extremely short black dress, armed with one stiletto in each hand.
“Sameen，”Harold 说，他穿着一件紧身的、曲线紧身的、极短的黑色连衣裙，两只手各拿着一条细高跟鞋，试图听起来有点同情。

“No, Harold” Shaw jabbed a heel in his direction “I quit.”
“不，哈罗德，”肖朝他的方向猛戳了一下，“我不干了。

“In Root’s absence, Sameen, I really don’t have any other choice but to ask you to take this cover” Harold explained and Shaw just stared at him incredulously.
“在鲁特不在的时候，萨梅恩，我真的别无选择，只能请你来接这个掩护，”哈罗德解释道，肖只是难以置信地盯着他。

“Are you looking at me, Harold?” Shaw asked.
“你在看着我吗，哈罗德？”Shaw 问道。

Harold sighed. “The Machine thinks you’ll be fine.”
哈罗德叹了口气。“机器认为你会没事的。”

“The Machine thinks wrong.” Shaw said.
“机器想错了。”“Shaw 说。

“C’mon Shaw, what’s wrong with being a billionaires escort for the night?” Reese teased and she ran her finger down the edge of the stiletto heel feeling how sharp it was.
“来吧，Shaw，当亿万富翁当晚的伴游有什么错？”Reese 调侃道，她用手指顺着细高跟鞋的边缘滑下，感受着它是多么的锋利。

“I might actually murder someone” Shaw groaned “Or myself.”
“我可能真的会杀人，”Shaw 呻吟道，“或者我自己。

“Sameen, if it’s any consolation we won’t have to be there long” Harold said pulling on his ridiculously overpriced jacket that matched the rest of his three piece suit. Shaw gritted her teeth in anger as she used Reese’s head to steady herself as she frustratedly pulled her heels on.
“Sameen，如果有什么安慰的话，我们不必在那里呆太久，”Harold 说着，拉了拉他那件价格高得离谱的夹克，这件夹克与他的三件套西装的其余部分相得益彰。Shaw 愤怒地咬牙切齿，她用 Reese 的头来稳定自己，而她沮丧地拉着她的高跟鞋。

“Where am I going to put my gun?” Shaw said and Harold produced a small black clutch for her.
“我要把枪放在哪里？”“肖说，哈罗德为她制作了一个黑色的小手拿包。

“Great, accessories” Shaw rolled her eyes snatching the purse from Harold’s hands.
“太好了，配饰”Shaw 翻了个白眼，从 Harold 手中抢过钱包。

“At least it matches” Reese smirked and Shaw whacked him over the head with it.
“至少它匹配，”Reese 得意地笑着，Shaw 用它敲打他的头。

Their number was a key speaker at some ritzy gala dinner that they were attending, under the alias of a billionaire software developer. Prevent the assassination of the key speaker, were the words Shaw repeated over and over in her head to distract her from the absolutely traumatic social situation that she suddenly found herself in. She quietly cursed at Root for not being here to take this cover, before quickly stopping her brain from thinking again about where Root was, and even more, ignoring the fact it had almost been two days since she had seen her.
他们的号码是他们参加的某个豪华晚宴上的主要演讲者，化名是一位亿万富翁软件开发人员。防止关键发言人被暗杀，是 Shaw 在脑海中一遍又一遍地重复的话，以分散她的注意力，使她从她突然发现自己所处的绝对创伤性的社会环境中转移注意力。她悄悄地咒骂着 Root 不是来这里掩护的，然后很快就停止了她的大脑，不再思考 Root 在哪里，甚至忽略了她已经快两天没有见到她的事实了。

“So when did you two meet?” some fake blonde in a bright blue dress asked, her giant smile aimed directly at Shaw.
“那么你们俩什么时候认识的？”一个穿着亮蓝色连衣裙的假金发女郎问道，她灿烂的笑容直接对准了 Shaw。

“What?” Shaw asked, still distracted by the thought of Root.
“什么？”Shaw 问道，他仍然被 Root 的想法分散了注意力。

“When did you and your husband meet?” the woman repeated gesturing towards where Harold was talking to some other billionaire men.
“你和你丈夫什么时候认识的？”女人重复着，指着哈罗德正在和其他一些亿万富翁男人交谈的地方。

“Oh, uhh, a year ago…ish” Shaw said with a shrug and felt the woman stare at her in slight confusion.
“哦，呃，一年前......嗯，“Shaw 耸耸肩说，感觉到那个女人略显困惑地盯着她。

“Well, good for you” she said her tone far too chirpy for Shaw’s enjoyment. “He certainly looks like he’s into….well”
“嗯，对你有好处，”她说，她的语气太活泼了，让 Shaw 无法享受。“他看起来肯定很喜欢......嗯”

Shaw stared at her blankly. “Yeah, excuse me.” she said before immediately walking away from the woman, tapping her ear piece and aggressively whispering.
肖茫然地盯着她。“是的，对不起。”她说，然后立即从那个女人身边走开，轻敲她的耳机，咄咄逼人地低声说。

“This is like trophy wife town Finch, I am not impressed.”
“这就像奖杯老婆镇芬奇，我没有留下深刻的印象。”

“I’m sorry Sameen, maybe it would be a good time for you to slip away, find our killer” Harold suggested but Shaw was already bursting through the kitchen in pursuit of a guy in a black hoodie who had taken one look at her and taken off running.
“对不起，Sameen，也许现在是你溜走的好时机，找到我们的凶手，”Harold 提议道，但 Shaw 已经冲进厨房，追赶一个穿着黑色连帽衫的家伙，这个家伙看了她一眼就跑开了。

Shaw was thankful for some action finally, but what she hadn’t realised was that by catching him so easily and taking him out, she would then have to return to the gala. Rinsing his blood off her hands in the nearest ladies bathroom she stared at her reflection, taking several seconds to even recognise herself. Rolling her eyes at herself she stormed back out into the gala and took a seat next to Harold where their covers names were displayed on the table.
Shaw 很感激最终采取了一些行动，但她没有意识到的是，如果这么容易地抓住他并带走他，她就不得不回到晚会上。在最近的女浴室里，她把他手上的血洗掉，盯着自己的倒影，花了几秒钟才认出自己。她对自己翻了个白眼，气冲冲地回到了晚会上，在 Harold 旁边坐了下来，桌子上展示了他们的封面名字。

“Can we leave?” she asked in a half whisper.
“我们能走吗？”

“Unfortunately not yet, Sameen” Harold replied and Shaw sighed leaning back in her chair and catching sight of waiters beginning to bring out silver trays of food.
“可惜还没有，萨梅恩，”哈罗德回答，肖叹了口气，靠在椅子上，看到服务员开始端出银色的食物托盘。

Well, there was always a silver lining.
嗯，总是有一线希望。

*

The next day wasn’t any better, Shaw had barely slept after the gala had come to a slow and painful end, and there was still no Root.
第二天的情况也好不到哪里去，在晚会缓慢而痛苦地结束之后，Shaw 几乎没有睡觉，仍然没有 Root。

Shaw felt like she was now painfully used to the almost constant overthinking about Root’s whereabouts but was still trying to desperately block every stray thought on the matter. Which in no way made it any easier, she was starting to get angry that Root would be so careless, and to not even bother telling her where she was, or checking in. Shaw didn’t appreciate it. There was a long list of reasons why Root might have gone dark, it could be for the rest of the teams protection, but it still bothered her. It still made her want to punch a hole in the wall. Because how else was she meant to react?
Shaw 觉得她现在已经痛苦地习惯了几乎无休止地过度思考 Root 的下落，但仍然拼命阻止关于这件事的每一个杂念。这丝毫没有让事情变得更容易，她开始生气，因为鲁特会如此粗心大意，甚至懒得告诉她她在哪里，也懒得签到。Shaw 并不欣赏它。Root 变黑的原因有很多，可能是为了保护其他团队，但这仍然让她感到困扰。这仍然让她想在墙上打个洞。因为她还能如何反应呢？

“What the fuck?” she practically shouted.
“他妈的什么？” 她几乎是喊道。

“Sameen” Harold knew there wasn’t a lot of use in trying to calm her.
“Sameen”Harold 知道试图让她冷静下来没有多大用处。

“Again, Harold, NO” she refused.
“再说一次，哈罗德，不，”她拒绝了。

“I have no doubt that you will have this under control within the day, Sameen” Harold said and she shook her head.
“我毫不怀疑你会在一天内控制住这件事，Sameen，”Harold 说着，她摇了摇头。

“I am not stepping foot into a department store, not as a customer and definitely not as an employee” Shaw said.
“我不是踏入百货公司，不是作为顾客，绝对  不是  作为员工，”Shaw 说。

“Detective Fusco is waiting out the front to take you” Harold said and swiftly moved back towards his computer as if to take cover from the fireball that Shaw was turning into.
“福斯科侦探在前面等着带你，”哈罗德说着，迅速地向他的电脑走去，仿佛要躲避肖正在变成的火球。

“If you think you’re going to get off on this lightly, Harold, think again” Shaw warned. “And where is Root?”
“如果你认为你会轻易地摆脱这件事，哈罗德，再想一想，”肖警告道。“那  根在哪里 ？”

“I am trying to find out, Sameen” Harold said, “Please just make sure Roberta Clint is unharmed”
“我正在努力找出答案，萨梅恩，”哈罗德说，“请确保罗伯塔·克林特没有受伤。

“Have you considered this, Harold” Shaw started “What if her number came up because I’m going to murder her today with a nail file while I’m working at a …department store” she almost shuddered at the words and Harold lifted both his eyebrows.
“你有没有考虑过这个问题，哈罗德，”肖开始说，“如果她的号码出现怎么办，因为我今天要趁我在一个......百货公司，“她几乎被这句话吓得发抖，哈罗德扬起了双眉。

“Highly doubtful, Sameen, but very valid point” Harold said before looking back at the computer and Shaw groaned loudly.
“非常值得怀疑，Sameen，但非常有道理，”Harold 说，然后回头看向电脑，Shaw 大声呻吟。

*

Time passed slowly, as if purposefully trying to piss her off while she stood at the perfume counter spraying customers frivolously whether they asked for it or not. Roberta’s biggest problem was hardly someone trying to kill her but rather an ex boyfriend, who was a little too interested still. Shaw had almost rolled her eyes as she had tackled him to the ground. She knew these covers were designed to keep her out of Decima’s way, but my god did she miss dealing with real bad guys with big guns. All she could do while she stood their spritzing people until the bottle ran out was think about Root, and all that did was piss her off to high heavens.
时间慢慢流逝，仿佛是故意想惹她生气，而她则站在香水柜台前，不管顾客是否要求，轻率地喷洒。罗伯塔最大的问题不是有人想杀她，而是前男友，他还是有点太感兴趣了。Shaw 在将他铲倒在地时几乎翻了个白眼。她知道这些掩体是为了不挡 Decima 的路，但天哪，她真想念与真正的大枪坏人打交道。当她忍受着他们的喷水者直到瓶子用完时，她所能做的就是想想 Root，而这一切所做的只是把她惹恼到高天。

When she finally got home, she was ready to shoot the first person who opened their mouth to say anything to her. She had been in a dress all day, heels again, and she was tired…exhausted even, as usual. Her lack of sleep from the previous night and not helped her mood in the slightest but she figured all the sleep in the world would not have been enough to get the smallest of fake smiles onto her face to spray perfume at people all day.
当她终于回到家时，她准备射杀第一个张开嘴对她说什么的人。她整天都穿着裙子，又穿了高跟鞋，她累了......甚至像往常一样筋疲力尽。她前一天晚上的睡眠不足对她的心情没有丝毫帮助，但她认为世界上所有的睡眠都不足以让她的脸上露出最小的假笑，整天向人们喷香水。

When she swung open her door she expected to be greeted by a overly zealous Bear, which she had summoned just enough energy to deal with as she had dragged herself down the hallway to her apartment.
当她推开门时，她以为迎接她的是一只过于热心的熊，当她拖着自己沿着走廊回到她的公寓时，她已经召唤了足够的能量来应对它。

But Bear did not come running, instead she was faced with something she had not been prepared for.
但 Bear 并没有跑来，相反，她面临着她没有准备好的事情。

Chapter Text

Root was sitting in the middle of the floor eating a cupcake and deeply engrossed in a bridal magazine, with Bear soundly asleep beside her.
Root 坐在地板中间吃着蛋糕，全神贯注地看一本新娘杂志，Bear 在她身边睡得很熟。

Shaw froze, her hand still gripping the door handle. Root looked up at the sound of someone coming in, her mouth suddenly dropping open at the sight of Shaw still dressed in her department store uniform, black dress, heels, lipstick, her dark hair falling in messy waves over her shoulders.
Shaw 愣住了，她的手仍然紧紧抓住门把手。鲁特抬头看着有人进来的声音，看到肖仍然穿着百货公司的制服、黑色连衣裙、高跟鞋、口红，她的黑发凌乱地垂在肩膀上，她的嘴巴突然张大了。

They stared at each other with no words for several moments, before Shaw finally regained whatever composure she had left and came inside, slamming the door shut behind her causing Bear to look up sleepily at her.
他们面面相觑，一言不发，直到 Shaw 终于恢复了她所剩无几的镇定并走了进来，砰的一声关上了她身后的门，让 Bear 睡眼惺忪地抬头看着她。

Shaw didn’t know what to say, it’s like everything had suddenly done a mass exit from her brain the moment that she had laid eyes on Root. She looked at Root’s fingers, which were between the pages of the magazine marking her place, her other hand holding the half eaten cupcake, her long fingers holding the base of it so gently. Shaw’s eyes slowly made their way up to Root’s face, she looked tired. Their eyes locked. Root could see that not too far under Shaw’s exhaustion was a whole lot of anger.
Shaw 不知道该说什么，就好像在她看到 Root 的那一刻，一切都突然从她的大脑中大量退出。她看着鲁特的手指，那根手指在杂志上标记着她的位置，她的另一只手拿着吃了一半的纸杯蛋糕，修长的手指轻轻地握着蛋糕的底部。Shaw 的眼睛慢慢地移到 Root 的脸上，她看起来很疲惫。他们的眼睛紧紧地盯着。鲁特看得出来，在肖的疲惫之下，不远处是一大堆的愤怒。

“What, no kiss?” Root said finally breaking the silence, her attempt to sound annoyingly flirty almost drowned out by how tired she was. Shaw’s jaw clenched, she still couldn’t figure out what the right thing to say was, so instead she decided to go with something she knew how to fix. Reaching behind herself she tugged down the zipper of the stupid dress she had been sucked into all day, pulling it off her shoulders and letting it fall to the ground around her ankles. She stepped out of it, feeling Root’s eyes grazing across every inch of her body. Then she unstrapped the heels, leaving them discarded beside the dress as she pulled her hair into a lose ponytail.
“什么，没有吻？”鲁特说终于打破了沉默，她试图听起来令人讨厌的调情几乎被她的疲惫所淹没。Shaw 咬紧了下巴，她仍然不知道该说什么才是正确的，所以她决定选择她知道如何解决的事情。她把手伸到身后，拉下了她整天被吸进去的那件愚蠢的裙子的拉链，把它从肩膀上扯下来，让它掉在脚踝周围的地上。她从里面走出来，感觉到 Root 的眼睛擦过她身体的每一寸。然后她解开高跟鞋的带子，把它们扔在裙子旁边，把头发扎成一个松散的马尾辫。

“Were you…worried?” Root said finally, her voice was quiet and soft, she knew the answer already but she wanted to hear Shaw say it.
“你是不是......担心吗？Root 终于说了，她的声音安静而柔和，她已经知道答案了，但她想听 Shaw 说出来。

“What do you think?” Shaw growled, hearing her voice for the first time in days almost sent a shiver across Root’s body.
“你觉得怎么样？”Shaw 咆哮着，几天来第一次听到她的声音，几乎让 Root 的身体打了个寒颤。

“I think you should say it” Root said “I know you’re mad.”
“我觉得你应该说出来，”鲁特说，“我知道你生气了。

“Is that why you did it Root?” Shaw asked the frustration and anger starting to bubble up insider her “You wanted to come back and have me admit some kind of emotion, because I thought we talked about this.”
“这就是你这样做的原因吗，根？”Shaw 问道，她内心开始冒泡的沮丧和愤怒，“你想回来让我承认某种情绪，因为我认为我们谈过这件事。

“No, I-” Root began but Shaw wasn’t finished.
“不，我——”Root 开始说话，但 Shaw 还没有说完。

“You can’t just do that” Shaw said her voice getting louder. “You can’t just disappear anymore and not tell me, you can’t think you can win every fucking fight on your own, or that it’s better and safer for the rest of us if you handle shit by yourself, you can’t do that” Root stared at her in amazement at the sudden outburst. “And not only that, but you can’t fucking come back in here after being gone for days and have the nerve to ask me if I was goddamn worried about you, because of course I fucking was. You wanted to stay married Root, so fucking act like we are.”
“你  不能  就这样，”Shaw 说，她的声音越来越大。“你不能就这样消失而不告诉我，你不能认为你自己能赢得每一场他妈的战斗，或者说如果你自己处理狗屎对我们其他人来说更好、更安全，你  不能  那样做。”Root 惊讶地盯着她，看着这突如其来的爆发。“不仅如此，你他妈的不能在离开几天后回到这里，还有胆子问我是不是他妈的担心你，因为我他妈的当然是。  你想  保持婚姻关系，鲁特，所以他妈的就像我们一样。

Root opened her mouth to speak but no words came out, Shaw rolled her eyes and stepped over Root’s legs to go to the kitchen, but Root quickly grabbed her hand.
Root 张开嘴想说话，但什么也没说出来，Shaw 翻了个白眼，跨过 Root 的腿去了厨房，但 Root 很快就抓住了她的手。

“I’m sorry” she said softly and Shaw stared directly ahead feeling Root’s thumb stroke the top of her hand.
“对不起，”她轻声说，Shaw 直视着前方，感觉到 Root 的拇指抚摸着她的手背。

“You could have just told me” Shaw said trying to pull her hand away but Root wouldn’t let her.
“你本来可以告诉我的，”Shaw 说，试图把她的手拉开，但 Root 不让她。

“I wanted to, Sam” Root said “But I just couldn’t bare the thought of you getting hurt for me.”
“我想，山姆，”鲁特说，“但我就是无法忍受你为我受伤。

“That’s pathetic” Shaw said still refusing to look at her.
“太可悲了，”Shaw 说，仍然拒绝看她。

“It’s not” Root argued “Not any more than you being worried about where I was.”
“不是，”鲁特争辩道，“只不过你担心我在哪里。

Shaw finally turned around to see Root’s dark puppy like gaze looking up at her.
Shaw 终于转过身来，看到 Root 那只黑狗般的目光正抬头看着她。

“I’ll tell you next time, okay?” Root said and Shaw knew she meant it.
“下次再告诉你，好吗？”鲁特说，肖知道她是认真的。

“No matter what?”
“不管怎样？”

Root nodded, and Shaw rolled her eyes up to stare at the ceiling, letting out a sigh and letting any excess frustration she had been feeling towards Root go, mostly because she was too tired to keep this up.
Root 点点头，Shaw 翻了个白眼，盯着天花板，叹了口气，把她对 Root 的过度挫败感都放下了，主要是因为她太累了，无法坚持下去。

“Why are you reading that shit?” Shaw asked looking back at Root and glancing at the magazine beside her.
“你为什么要读那些狗屎？”Shaw 问道，回头看了一眼 Root，又看了一眼她旁边的杂志。

“I was thinking,” Root said her fingers playing with Shaw’s “That we should redo our vows.”
“我在想，”鲁特说，她的手指玩弄着肖的誓言，“我们应该重做我们的誓言。

“I like our vows” Shaw said.
“我喜欢我们的誓言，”肖说。

“You wouldn’t even remember them if you hadn’t seen the video” Root pointed out and Shaw shrugged. “Come here” Root said tugging at Shaw’s arm, “at least let me try and persuade you.”
“如果你没有看过视频，你甚至不会记得他们，”Root 指出，Shaw 耸了耸肩。“过来，”Root 拉着 Shaw 的胳膊说，“至少让我试着说服你。

Shaw didn’t argue, she let Root pull her onto the floor, she let Root adjust them so that she was perfectly between Root’s legs, she let Root pull her back until her body was relaxed back against Root’s, her let Root kiss the side of her head, she let Root kiss her shoulder, she let Root’s lips linger on her skin, she let Root put the bridal magazine on her lap, she let Root take a bite of the cupcake and get frosting in the back of her hair. She didn’t protest, she didn’t say a word, she didn’t even try and stop the thought of how well they physically fit together. Shaw’s fingers ran through Bear’s fur, and for the first time ever she wondered what her parents would think of this. Of Root.
肖没有争论，她让鲁特把她拉到地板上，她让鲁特调整它们，让她完美地放在鲁特的两腿之间，她让鲁特把她往后拉，直到她的身体放松地靠在鲁特的身体上，她让鲁特亲吻她的头侧，她让鲁特亲吻她的肩膀，她让鲁特的嘴唇在她的皮肤上徘徊， 她让 Root 把新娘杂志放在她的腿上，她让 Root 咬了一口纸杯蛋糕，然后在她的头发后面沾上糖霜。她没有抗议，她没有说一句话，她甚至没有试图阻止他们身体上多么契合的想法。Shaw 的手指滑过 Bear 的皮毛，她有史以来第一次想知道她的父母会怎么想。的 Root。

*

When Shaw woke the next morning she felt exceptionally heavy, after rubbing her eyes she lifted her head and Saw that Root was asleep on her, between her legs, using her stomach as a pillow. One arm up near Shaw’s chest, the other tucked neatly beside her body her warm hand resting on Shaw’s thigh.
第二天早上，当 Shaw 醒来时，她感到格外沉重，揉了揉眼睛后，她抬起头，看到 Root 睡在她身上，在她的两腿之间，用她的肚子当枕头。一只手臂靠近 Shaw 的胸前，另一只手臂整齐地藏在她的身体旁边，她温暖的手放在 Shaw 的大腿上。

Shaw lifted one of Root’s long fingers and let it fall back down onto her chest. Her hand wandered down to Root’s head and she picked up a strand of Root’s hair, winding it around her finger then unwinding it, then rewinding it again.
Shaw 抬起 Root 的一根修长的手指，让它落回她的胸口。她的手滑到 Root 的头上，她捡起了 Root 的一缕头发，绕在手指上，然后解开，然后再重新绕开。

Then Root began to stir, lifting her head and resting her chin on Shaw’s stomach and sleepily opening her eyes.
然后 Root 开始动起来，抬起头，将下巴靠在 Shaw 的肚子上，睡眼惺忪地睁开了眼睛。

“Are you playing with my hair, Sameen?” she asked her voice was thick with sleep.
“你在玩我的头发吗，Sameen？”她问道，她的声音因睡意而浑厚。

“No” Shaw said quickly moving her hand away “I was just…thinking about how to occupy myself while your bony ass had me trapped here”
“不，”Shaw 迅速说，把手移开，“我只是......想着如何在你瘦骨嶙峋的屁股把我困在这里的时候占据自己”

Root just smiled. “Okay.” She put her head back down on Shaw’s stomach and Shaw rolled her eyes.
鲁特只是笑了笑。“好的。”她把头靠在 Shaw 的肚子上，Shaw 翻了个白眼。

“No” Shaw said wiggled underneath her “Don’t go back to sleep.”
“不，”Shaw 说，在她身下扭动着，“别回去睡觉了。

She felt Root smile against her stomach.
她感觉到 Root 在她的肚子上微笑。

“Why not?”
“为什么不呢？”

“I’m already bored” Shaw said “At least let me up”
“我已经很无聊了，”Shaw 说，“至少让我起来”

“But you’re comfortable” Root said.
“但你很舒服，”鲁特说。

“Yeah, well you’re heavy” Shaw replied.
“是的，嗯，你很重，”Shaw 回答。

“What if I want you pinned to the bed?” Root asked and glanced back up at Shaw.
“如果我想把你钉在床上怎么办？”鲁特问道，然后抬头看了一眼肖。

“Then move your head lower down and I’ll be here as long as you want” Shaw said and Root just quirked an eyebrow.
“那么，把你的头往下挪，只要你愿意，我就会在这里，”Shaw 说，Root 只是皱了皱眉毛。

“That’s a very tempting offer,” Root said placing a kiss above Shaw’s underwear line before resting her head back down again.
“这是一个非常诱人的提议，”Root 说，在 Shaw 的内衣线上亲了一下，然后再次低下了头。

“Seriously?” Sam watched her “You’re that tired still?”
“真的吗？”山姆看着她， “你还那么 累吗？

“I didn’t sleep for three days, Sameen” Root mumbled.
“我三天没睡，Sameen，”Root 喃喃自语。

“Yeah” Shaw said with a sigh, placing her hand on Root’s head “You said.”
“是的，”Shaw 叹了口气说，把手放在 Root 的头上，“你说的。

“Can’t we just stay here?” Root mumbled again tiredly.
“我们就不能留在这里吗？”鲁特又疲惫地喃喃自语。

“For how long?” Shaw asked.
“多长时间？”Shaw 问道。

“Indefinitely” Root said, her fingertips tracing circles on the side of Shaw’s thighs.
“无限期，”Root 说，她的指尖在 Shaw 的大腿侧面画圈。

“How about you stay here indefinitely, and I go tell Harold you’re alive” Shaw proposed.
“你先在这里呆一会儿怎么样，我去告诉哈罗德你还活着，”肖提议道。

“I can just get Her to tell him” Root’s words were barely coherent, as her eyes sleepily began to shut again.
“我可以让她告诉他”Root 的话几乎语无伦次，因为她睡眼惺忪地又开始闭上眼睛。

“No, I should” Shaw said moving her hand onto Root’s arm that was still draped across her midriff, she followed it all the way to Root’s hand and then stopped.
“不，我应该，”Shaw 说着，把手移到 Root 的手臂上，她的手臂仍然垂在她的腹部，她一直顺着它走到 Root 的手上，然后停了下来。

“Why?” Root asked “Do you need to apologise for something you did when I was gone?”
“为什么？”鲁特问道：“你需要为你在我走时所做的事道歉吗？

Shaw was fairly struck by how well Root could figure her out by simply her tone.
Shaw 对 Root 仅凭她的语气就能很好地理解她感到相当震惊。

“He’s probably the one that needs to do the apologising for trapping me in that dress” Shaw muttered, and felt Root slowly starting to fall asleep on her again. “Okay, I’m getting up.”
“他可能是那个需要为把我困在那件衣服里而道歉的人，”Shaw 咕哝着，感觉到 Root 又慢慢地开始在她身上睡着了。“好了，我起来了。”

Root groaned softly, “I want you close” she mumbled.
Root 轻声呻吟，“我要你靠近，”她喃喃自语。

“I’ll be right back” Shaw told her and finally a few moments later Root drew herself up into a sitting position. Shaw quickly pulled herself up off the bed and took a look at Root, dishevelled dark hair pressed against the side of her face that had been asleep on Shaw, her eyes sleepy, dark and hazy, her loose t-shirt falling off one shoulder dangerously baring her porcelain skin to Shaw’s eyes where she could see a couple of bruises she had made that were yet to heal. Root’s lips parted as she exhaled softly. Shaw knew Root wasn’t doing it on purpose but something about the way she was sitting on the bed, so dazed and sleepy made it almost impossible for Shaw to leave. She quickly distracted herself by getting dressed.
“我马上回来，”Shaw 告诉她，终于过了一会儿，Root 坐了起来。Shaw 迅速从床上站起来，看了一眼 Root，凌乱的黑发压在她睡着的 Shaw 脸上，她的眼睛困倦、黑暗和朦胧，她宽松的 T 恤从一侧肩膀上脱落，危险地将她的瓷质皮肤暴露在 Shaw 的眼睛里，她可以看到她留下的几处尚未愈合的瘀伤。Root 的嘴唇张开，轻轻地呼出一口气。Shaw 知道 Root 不是故意这样做的，但她坐在床上的方式，如此茫然和困倦使 Shaw 几乎不可能离开。她很快就穿好衣服来分散自己的注意力。

“Where’s the blanket?” Root mumbled from behind her, and Shaw turned around as she pulled her jacket on to see Root practically asleep and still sitting up.
“毯子在哪儿？”Root 在她身后喃喃自语，Shaw 转过身来，她拉上外套，看到 Root 几乎睡着了，还坐着。

“Okay, come on” Shaw said grabbing a pillow and moving closer to Root, taking her shoulders and easing her down onto the pillow before pulling a blanket over her body. “Get some rest.” she said but knew Root was almost asleep already. “I’ll bring you a triple shot on my way back” Shaw said as she started to close the bedroom door but paused when she heard Root’s voice.
“好，来吧，”Shaw 说着，抓起一个枕头，靠近 Root，挽住她的肩膀，让她放松到枕头上，然后拉一条毯子盖在她的身上。“休息一下。”她说，但知道 Root 几乎已经睡着了。“我回去的路上给你带三发子弹，”Shaw 说着，她准备关上卧室的门，但当她听到 Root 的声音时停了下来。

“Thank you Sam” Root’s voice was muffled and faded, barely conscious, “I love you, Sam.”
“谢谢你，山姆”鲁特的声音低沉而消退，几乎无法知觉，“我爱你，山姆。

Shaw stopped and stared at the nest in the middle of the bed where Root was curled up. Those three stupid little words clinging to her brain immediately as she slowly pulled the door shut without a sound.
Shaw 停下来，盯着 Root 蜷缩着的床中间的巢穴。那三个愚蠢的小字立刻萦绕在她的脑海中，她慢慢地把门关上了，一声不响。

“Make sure she’s okay” Shaw automatically said to the dog as she left, feeling distracted and somewhat annoyed, but not angry enough to do anything about it. How could she be angry at all after that?
“确保她没事”Shaw 在她离开时自动对狗说，她感到分心，有点恼火，但还没有生气到做任何事情。在那之后，她怎么会生气呢？

As she went to enter Harold’s she almost collided with Fusco who was just coming out of the building.
当她去进入 Harold's 时，她差点撞上刚从大楼里出来的 Fusco。

“He ain’t there” Fusco said and Shaw frowned taking a step back.
“他不在那儿，”Fusco 说，Shaw 皱起眉头，后退了一步。

“Where is he?” she asked and Fusco shrugged.
“他在哪儿？” 她问道，Fusco 耸了耸肩。

“Beats me.”
“打败了我。”

“Is Reese…”
“是 Reese 吗......”

“Nope” Fusco interjected before she could get the rest of the sentence out. Shaw stared up at the building and wondered where they might be, then wondered if maybe they were handling numbers without her today, giving her a break from the hell of the past two days. Sounded like something Harold might do.
“不，”Fusco 在她把剩下的句子说出来之前就打断了她。Shaw 抬头盯着大楼，想知道他们可能在哪里，然后想知道他们今天是否在没有她的情况下处理数字，让她从过去两天的地狱中解脱出来。听起来像是哈罗德可能会做的事情。

“What’d you need him for?” Fusco asked.
“你需要他做什么？”福斯科问道。

“You know,” Shaw gestured absentmindedly “Root’s…uh…”
“你知道的，”Shaw 心不在焉地比划着，“Root 的......呃......”

“Mhm, yeah, sure” Fusco said looking at her in confusion, then suddenly he stopped. “Hey, what’s that?”
“嗯，是的，当然，”Fusco 困惑地看着她，然后突然停了下来。“嘿，那是什么？”

“What’s what?” Shaw asked looking at him.
“什么？”Shaw 看着他问道。

“What’s that on your finger?” Fusco asked and pointed at Shaw’s left hand. Shaw automatically glanced at her ring which she had stupidly put back on last night at Root’s request after looking through that dumb bridal magazine.
“你手指上有什么？”福斯科问道，并指着肖的左手。Shaw 在翻阅了那本愚蠢的新娘杂志后，自动地瞥了一眼她昨晚应 Root 的要求愚蠢地戴回去的戒指。

“Oh this” she said staring at the ring. “Just from a thing…Harold…um, made me wear it.”
“哦，这个，”她盯着戒指说。“只是从一件事......哈罗德。。。嗯，让我戴上它。

Fusco looked even more confused than before, “Aren’t ya gonna take it off then?”
福斯科看起来比以前更困惑了，“那你不打算脱掉它吗？

Shaw immediately went to pull it off holding it up before quickly tucking it in her pocket.
Shaw 立即去把它扯下来，举起来，然后迅速把它塞进了她的口袋。

“Right” she said “Kinda zoney at the moment, I’m gonna go…sleep.”
“好吧，”她说，“现在有点紧张，我要走了......睡觉。

Fusco just nodded and watched at her curiously as she began to walk off.
Fusco 只是点点头，好奇地看着她开始走开。

Zoney? She thought as she walked off stuffing her hands into her pockets, that’s not even a goddamn word Sameen she thought mentally kicking herself.
Zoney？她一边想着，一边把手塞进口袋里，  这甚至不是一个该死的词，Sameen 在心里想着，她在心里踢了自己一脚。

Once she got back in the door she immediately pulled the ring from her pocket dropping it on the kitchen counter and staring at it like it would do something. She leaned her arms against the counter and didn’t move her eyes off the ring.
她一回到门口，就立刻从口袋里掏出戒指，把它放在厨房的柜台上，盯着它看，好像它会做些什么。她把手臂靠在柜台上，眼睛没有从擂台上移开。

“Not considering divorce again are you?” Root’s voice came from the other side of the room, Shaw looked over her shoulder and saw Root leaning against the doorframe of the bedroom.
“你又不考虑离婚了吧？”Root 的声音从房间的另一边传来，Shaw 回头看了看，看到 Root 靠在卧室的门框上。

“No” Shaw said and looked back at the ring that was innocently sitting in front of her. “Lionel just saw me wearing it, and I don’t know, I freaked out for some reason, it was dumb.”
“不，”Shaw 说，然后回头看了看无辜地坐在她面前的戒指。“莱昂内尔只是看到我戴着它，我不知道，我不知为何吓坏了，它太愚蠢了。”

“You didn’t tell him?” Root asked coming over to Shaw.
“你没告诉他？”鲁特走过来问肖。

“No” Shaw said sullenly.
“不，”Shaw 闷闷不乐地说。

“Well did you see Harry?” Root asked.
“嗯，你看到哈利了吗？”鲁特问道。

“No.”
“不。”

“Did you bring me coffee?”
“你给我带咖啡了吗？”

“No…I” Shaw frowned, and Root just wrapped her arms around Shaw from the back. Shaw stood there, still staring at the ring, suddenly remembering what Root had mumbled to her before she had left, wondering if she had remembered she had said it or not.
“不......我“Shaw 皱起眉头，Root 只是从后面搂住了 Shaw。Shaw 站在那里，仍然盯着戒指，突然想起了 Root 在她离开之前对她说过的话，想知道她是否记得自己说过这句话。

“I’m guessing you’re feeling better now” Shaw said and she felt Root’s teeth against her ear.
“我猜你现在感觉好多了，”Shaw 说，她感觉到 Root 的牙齿贴在她的耳朵上。

“Much” Root said softly.
“很多，”Root 轻声说。

Shaw wondered whether she should bring it up or not, but promptly opted for not.
Shaw 想知道她是否应该提出来，但很快就选择了不。

“So, Sam, I was thinking” Root said turning Shaw around in her arms. “You still owe me something.
“所以，山姆，我在想，”鲁特说，把肖转过来。“你还欠我一些东西。

Shaw lifted an eyebrow looking vaguely unimpressed at the notion.
Shaw 扬起眉毛，看起来对这个想法有点不以为然。

“The cupboards are looking kinda empty” Root said with a cute pout “So is the fridge.”
“橱柜看起来有点空，”Root 可爱地撅着嘴说，“冰箱也是。

Shaw suddenly realised what Root was talking about and couldn’t stop herself from rolling her eyes.
Shaw 突然意识到 Root 在说什么，忍不住翻了个白眼。

“Seriously, today?” Shaw asked.
“说真的，今天？”Shaw 问道。

“There’s no time like the present, Sameen” Root smiled. “Besides, that was the deal.”
“没有比现在更好的时间了，Sameen”Root 微笑着。“再说了，就是那笔交易。”

“Why do I feel like this is going to be the worst kind of torture?” Shaw groaned.
“为什么我觉得这将是最糟糕的折磨？”Shaw 呻吟着。

“Don’t be so negative, Sam” Root said nudging her gently with her elbow. “This could be fun.”
“别这么消极，山姆，”鲁特说，用手肘轻轻地推了推她。“这可能会很有趣。”

“Can I bring my gun?” Shaw asked and Root just smirked.
“我可以带枪吗？”Shaw 问道，Root 只是得意地笑了笑。

“No way in hell.”
“在地狱里是不可能的。”

Chapter Text

Shaw was in Hell. Which she never considered a bad place to be, until she realised it was lit with fluorescent white lights, with loud announcement speakers, tall shelves, and screaming children at the end of every aisle.
Shaw 在地狱里。她从来不认为这是一个坏地方，直到她意识到它被荧光白灯照亮，有响亮的广播扬声器，高高的架子，每个过道尽头都有尖叫的孩子们。

“Do I get chocolate for being well behaved?” Shaw asked vacantly staring at a mother who was midst bribing her child to stop crying.
“我得吃巧克力是因为乖巧的吗？”Shaw 茫然地问道，盯着一位正在贿赂她的孩子停止哭泣的母亲。

“You’re not being well behaved” Root said without looking up from the back of a packet that she was examining.
“你表现得不够乖巧，”Root 说，头也不抬地从她正在检查的包裹后面。

“What have I done?” Shaw asked questioningly.
“我做了什么？”Shaw 质疑地问道。

“Well for starters you keep riding around on the cart” Root said.
“好吧，对于初学者来说，你一直骑在车上，”鲁特说。

“What else am I meant to do with it?” Shaw said abandoning it in the middle of the aisle and walking over to Root, grabbing the packet of fried rice from her hand and launching it into the grocery cart.
“我还能用它做什么？”Shaw 说着，把它丢在过道中间，走到 Root 身边，从她手里抓起一包炒饭，把它扔进了杂货车。

“You’re impossible” Root said staring at her, Shaw could see the almost smile forming on her lips and just smirked.
“你不可能，”Root 盯着她说，Shaw 可以看到她嘴唇上几乎露出的笑容，只是傻笑了。

“And you’re annoying, lets go” Shaw said retrieving the cart and giving it a decent enough push so that it would still pull her along even if her feet were still on the ground. Root came to a stop and Shaw let go of the cart, letting it roll towards Root and then eventually hit her in the ass. Root turned around and lifted an eyebrow at Shaw.
“你很烦人，我们走吧，”Shaw 说着，取回推车，给它足够的推动，这样即使她的脚还在地上，它仍然可以拉着她前进。Root 停了下来，Shaw 放开了手推车，让它滚向 Root，然后最终打中了她的屁股。鲁特转过身来，对肖挑了挑眉毛。

“Peanut butter” Shaw said and pointed at the jars of peanut butter behind Root, who grabbed one without looking away from Shaw and dropping it in the cart.
“花生酱，”Shaw 说着，指了指 Root 身后的花生酱罐子，Root 没有把目光从 Shaw 身上移开，就抓起一罐，把它扔进了购物车。

“Bear would be more helpful than you” Root said and Shaw shook her head.
“Bear 会比你更乐于助人，”Root 说，Shaw 摇了摇头。

“That’s just cruel” Shaw said and Root looked at her. “You’d put Bear through this?”
“太残忍了，”Shaw 说，Root 看着她。“你会让 Bear 经历  这一切吗？”

Root just rolled her eyes. “Even professional killers need toilet paper, Sam”
Root 只是翻了个白眼。“即使是职业杀手也需要卫生纸，山姆”

“I can get toilet paper” Shaw said “I just don’t see why we have to do carrots and broccoli at the same time.”
“我可以买到卫生纸，”Shaw 说，“我就是不明白为什么我们必须同时做胡萝卜和西兰花。

Root laughed, “because if you only get one thing you don’t need a cart.”
Root 笑了起来，“因为如果你只得到一件东西，你就不需要手推车。

“Wow” Shaw said sarcastically “Selling point.”
“哇，”Shaw 讽刺地说，“卖点。

Suddenly Root stopped and turned around to look at Shaw before walking over to her and kissing her lightly on the lips. Shaw tasted the cherry on her lips, but before she could move Root had pulled away, Shaw looking at her with a slight confusion.
突然，Root 停了下来，转身看向 Shaw，然后走到她身边，轻轻地吻了她的嘴唇。Shaw 尝到了她嘴唇上的樱桃味，但还没来得及动弹，Root 已经抽身离开了，Shaw 带着一丝困惑看着她。

“I like seeing you in a grocery store” Root said “Even if you hate it”
“我喜欢在杂货店看到你，”鲁特说，“即使你讨厌它”

“Glad I could fulfil one of your weird fantasies” Shaw said and Root smiled.
“很高兴我能实现你的一个奇怪的幻想，”Shaw 说，Root 笑了。

“You look so unthreatening in here riding around on a grocery cart.”
“你骑着杂货车在这里看起来如此没有威胁。”

“Are you saying I look threatening normally?”
“你是说我平时看起来很有威胁吗？”

“Not to me” Root smirked “Well, maybe a little, but I like it.”
“对我来说不是，”鲁特得意地笑着，“嗯，也许有一点，但我喜欢它。

Shaw lifted an eyebrow. “Do normal people flirt in grocery stores?”
Shaw 扬起眉毛。“正常人会在杂货店调情吗？”

“We’re married” Root pointed out.
“我们结婚了，”鲁特指出。

“Do married people flirt in grocery stores?” Shaw rephrased and Root smirked.
“已婚人士会在杂货店调情吗？”Shaw 改了口说法，Root 得意地笑了。

“Normal married people don’t, but we do.”
“正常的已婚人士不会，但我们有。”

“You do” Shaw corrected her.
“你愿意，”Shaw 纠正她。

“Sam, I was thinking” Root said wandering down the aisle towards the freezers with ice cream, and Shaw put her feet up on the lower bars of the cart, moving at a crawling pace beside Root.
“山姆，我在想，”鲁特说着，沿着过道向装着冰淇淋的冰柜走去，肖把脚放在推车的下栏上，在鲁特身边以匍匐前进的速度移动。

“Oh god, not again” Shaw groaned sarcastically.
“哦，上帝，不会再来了”Shaw 讽刺地呻吟着。

“I’m serious” Root said spinning around and grabbing the end of the cart, bringing it to a holt.
“我是认真的，”Root 说，转过身来，抓住车的末端，把它带到了一个坑里。

“Okay” Shaw said still standing on the cart. Root was looking at her as if maybe she was nervous about what was about to come next, Shaw didn’t often see that look on Root’s face, she frowned. “What?”
“好的，”Shaw 说，仍然站在推车上。Root 看着她，仿佛她对接下来会发生什么感到紧张，Shaw 不经常在 Root 的脸上看到那种表情，她皱起眉头。“什么？”

“I think we should move in together” Root said looking at Shaw before turning around and starting to walk off pulling the cart along with Shaw behind her.
“我觉得我们应该一起住进去，”鲁特说，看了看肖，然后转身开始走，拉着推车走了，肖跟在她身后。

“Um” Shaw struggled to find the right words, jumping off the cart in front of the ice cream. “Don’t we kind of already?”
“嗯”Shaw 努力寻找合适的词语，在冰淇淋前跳下了购物车。“我们不是已经差不多了吗？”

“Yeah but Sam, we sort of just bounce between each others places randomly” Root said as they both reached for cookie dough ice cream at the same time. Root looked at her.
“是的，但是山姆，我们只是在彼此的地方之间随机地跳来跳去，”鲁特说，他们俩同时伸手去拿饼干面团冰淇淋。鲁特看着她。

“We could still keep both places” she said “We could just make one of them…our home.”
“我们仍然可以保留两个地方，”她说，“我们可以只做一个......我们的家。

Shaw thought about it as she put the ice cream in the cart and hopped back up into her cart riding position. Root took the front of the cart and started pulling her towards the check out. Root smiled in acknowledgement to the cashier before starting to pile the food up in front of her.
Shaw 想了想，把冰淇淋放进手推车里，然后跳回她的手推车骑姿势。Root 拉着推车的前部，开始拉着她走向收银台。Root 向收银员微笑道谢，然后开始将食物堆在她面前。

“I know I said nothing had to change” Root continued “but considering we are married…I mean we were barely away from each other for two nights and look how that turned out”
“我知道我说过什么都不必改变，”鲁特继续说道，“但考虑到我们已经结婚了......我的意思是，我们几乎没有离开彼此两个晚上，看看结果如何。

“That was different, Root” Shaw said “I didn’t know where you were.”
“那不一样，鲁特，”肖说，“我不知道你在哪儿。

Shaw glanced at the cashier who was desperately trying not to listen in on their conversation, but the expression on her face was clearly saying something else.
Shaw 瞥了一眼收银员，他拼命不想偷听他们的谈话，但她脸上的表情显然在说别的什么。

“Well what about the time you left after I stitched you up, that was weird, you have to admit” Root said, and the cashier’s eyes widened a little. “We’ve pretty much spent every night together since we started sleeping together, Sam”
“嗯，我给你缝针后你离开的时间怎么样，那很奇怪，你不得不承认，”Root 说，收银员的眼睛睁大了一点。“自从我们开始一起睡觉以来，我们几乎每晚都在一起度过，山姆”

“Yeah, but if we moved in together then…” Shaw started but Root interrupted.
“是的，但如果我们一起搬进去，那......”Shaw 开始说话，但 Root 打断了他。

“Then what? I’d get sick of you faster? Because sweetie, if I was going to get fed up with you then it would have happened already”
“然后呢？我会更快厌倦你吗？因为亲爱的，如果我要受够你，那它早就发生了。

Shaw stared at her trying to process the situation faster.
Shaw 盯着她，试图更快地处理这种情况。

“I’m not saying you have to decide right away, I’m just saying…maybe think about it” Root said with a shrug “I like waking up to you, and I like breakfast and sex with you”
“我不是说你必须马上决定，我只是说......也许想想看，“鲁特耸耸肩说，”我喜欢在你身边醒来，我喜欢和你一起吃早餐和做爱”

Shaw stared at Root, glancing momentarily at the cashier who’s eyes were aggressively fixated on her till as she tried not to listen. Root swiped her card and picked up the groceries.
Shaw 盯着 Root，瞥了一眼收银员，收银员的眼睛咄咄逼人地盯着她，而她却试图不听。鲁特刷了刷卡，拿起了杂货。

“If we can be married, then we can probably handle living together” Root said and started to walk off. Shaw stared after her before looking at the cashier’s name tag.
“如果我们能结婚，那我们大概可以处理住在一起的事情，”鲁特说着，开始走开。Shaw 盯着她看了看，然后看了看收银员的名牌。

“Hey Greta” She said slamming her hand on the till making the girl jump “just pretend you didn’t hear any of that, okay?”
“嘿，Greta，”她说，用手猛地敲打着收银机，让女孩跳了起来，“就假装你什么都没听到，好吗？

Greta looked at her and nodded and Shaw turned to walk off.
Greta 看着她，点了点头，Shaw 转身走开了。

“I’d move in with her if I were you” Greta said from behind her and Shaw turned around again and Greta just shrugged “She’s hot, leggy and mouthy, and you’ve already married her.”
“如果我是你，我会和她一起住，”格蕾塔从她身后说，肖又转过身来，格蕾塔只是耸耸肩，“她很热，腿又长，又多嘴，而且你已经娶了她。

“You checked out my wife?” Shaw asked still not used to that goddamn word, Greta just nodded.
“你检查了我的  妻子 ？”Shaw 问道，他仍然不习惯那个该死的词，Greta 只是点了点头。

“Well yeah”
“嗯，是的”

“Okay, stop” Shaw said.
“好，停下来，”Shaw 说。

“I don’t know why you’d hesitate, I mean the way she looks at you is…well kinda intense but it’s she obviously loves you” Greta said and Shaw just stared at her.
“我不知道你为什么犹豫，我的意思是她看你的眼神是......嗯，有点激烈，但她显然爱你，“格蕾塔说，肖只是盯着她。

“Do you observe all your customers this closely?” Shaw asked.
“你这么仔细地观察你的所有顾客吗？”Shaw 问道。

“What else am I meant to do in this hell hole?” Greta smirked and Shaw just shook her head and walked off to catch up with Root, who was waiting by the door.
“我在这个地狱般的洞里还能做什么？”Greta 得意地笑了笑，Shaw 只是摇了摇头，然后走开去追上了在门口等着的 Root。

“What was that about?” Root asked lifting an eyebrow.
“那是怎么回事？”鲁特扬起眉毛问道。

“I was just making sure she wasn’t going to bill us for her therapy session” Shaw said taking a couple of bags off Root.
“我只是确保她不会向我们收取她的治疗费用，”Shaw 说，从 Root 身上拿走了几个袋子。

“She didn’t have to listen” Root said as they began to walk.
“她不用听，”Root 说，他们开始走路。

“You didn’t have to have that talk in a grocery store” Shaw replied.
“你不必在杂货店里进行这种谈话，”Shaw 回答道。

“You don’t want to” Root sighed.
“你不想，”Root 叹了口气。

“I didn’t say that”
“我没说”

“You didn’t have to.”
“你不必这样做。”

“Root” Shaw stopped walking and waited for Root to eventually turn around, several paces ahead of her. “Have you even thought about the negatives of this?”
“Root” Shaw 停下了脚步，等待 Root 最终转身，比她领先了几步。“你有没有想过这样做的坏处？”

“Yeah Sam, I did, and all the reasons why it’s a good idea won out” Root said “And if anything happened and we needed to cool off you can always go back to yours”
“是的，山姆，我做到了，所有证明这是个好主意的理由都胜出了，”鲁特说，“如果发生了什么事情，我们需要冷静下来，你总是可以回到你的。

“So we’d live at yours?” Shaw lifted an eyebrow.
“所以我们会住在你的房子里？”Shaw 扬起眉毛。

“Well that’s obvious, you barely own a bed” Root smirked “Unless you wanna get somewhere new”
“嗯，这很明显，你几乎没有床”Root 得意地笑着，“除非你想找个新的地方”

Shaw looked at Root and sighed “Even if I don’t answer you now I’m going to end up saying yes aren’t I?”
Shaw 看着 Root，叹了口气，“就算我现在不回答你，我也会说是，不是吗？

“Probably” Root grinned moving closer to Shaw “I’m very persuasive.”
“大概吧，”鲁特咧嘴一笑，靠近了肖，“我很有说服力。

“Yeah you probably persuaded me to marry you too” Shaw said and kept walking leaving Root behind her.
“是的，你可能也说服我嫁给你，”Shaw 说着继续走着，留下 Root 在她身后。

“So is that a yes?” Root called out after her.
“所以这是肯定的吗？”鲁特在她身后喊道。

“No” Shaw replied.
“没有，”Shaw 回答。

“Should I ask you again when we’re having sex?” Root said taking a couple of long strides to catch up with Shaw.
“当我们做爱时，我应该再问你一次吗？”鲁特说，大步走了几步才赶上肖。

“No” Shaw said.
“不，”Shaw 说。

“You’re impossible” Root huffed.
“你不可能，”Root 怒气冲冲地说。

“And you’re annoying” Shaw smirked.
“而且你很烦人，”Shaw 得意地笑着。

Chapter Text

It was cold out, the sky was grey, orange leaves stuck to the streets like glue. Shaw enjoyed running in Central Park, she enjoyed it even more now that she got to take Bear with her. He was a good motivator, often having a vast amount more energy than she did herself he would take off running at an unmatchable pace for Shaw, giving her legs the ultimate work out as she pushed herself to keep him in sight. Today was no different, Bear was merely a spot in the distance, stopping only a couple of times to sniff the grass or glance back to make sure that Shaw was still in sight too. The cold brushed against her cheeks as she ran, her breathing steady and even, her legs were finally starting to feel fatigued, she didn’t know how long she had been out here for, but it was addictive, especially in the cold when her body felt so warm.
外面很冷，天空是灰色的，橙色的树叶像胶水一样粘在街道上。Shaw 喜欢在中央公园跑步，现在她可以带着 Bear 一起跑步，她更加喜欢了。他是一个很好的激励者，经常比她自己多得多的精力，他会以无与伦比的速度为 Shaw 奔跑，在她推动自己让他保持在视线范围内时，让她的双腿得到终极锻炼。今天也不例外，Bear 只是远处的一个地方，只停下来嗅了嗅草地或回头看了一眼以确保 Shaw 也还在视线范围内。她奔跑时，寒冷拂过她的脸颊，她的呼吸平稳而均匀，她的双腿终于开始感到疲惫，她不知道自己在这里呆了多久，但这令人上瘾，尤其是在寒冷的天气里，她的身体感觉如此温暖。

Shaw couldn’t help but think about the earlier conversation she had with Root that day, about them moving in together. She knew it made sense, they were married, they were going to try and act married. And as much as they thought it would be easy to keep things the way they had been before Vegas, it just didn’t seem so simple anymore.
Shaw 不禁想起了那天她和 Root 早些时候的谈话，关于他们搬到一起住。她知道这是有道理的，他们已经结婚了，他们要试着表现得像个已婚的人。尽管他们认为保持拉斯维加斯之前的状态很容易，但事情似乎不再那么简单了。

She knew what it was that was bothering her about saying yes, she had never lived with someone before, not in this kind of sense anyway. But maybe she would just have to suck it up, it was just Root after all. And Root knew her, she knew what she was signing up for. And fuck, she’d practically spent half her nights at Root’s anyway.
她知道是什么让她说“是”而困扰着她，她以前从来没有和别人住过，反正不是这种意义上的。但也许她只能接受它，毕竟这只是 Root。Root 了解她，她知道她要报名参加什么。而且他妈的，反正她几乎有一半的夜晚都是在 Root 家度过的。

It was starting to get dark, the only ones left were people exercising. As her muscles started to ache she slowed down to a gentle jog, wiping the sweat off her forehead with the back of her hand.
天色开始变暗，只剩下锻炼的人们。当她的肌肉开始疼痛时，她放慢了速度，轻轻地慢跑，用手背擦去额头上的汗水。

“Bear” she called out and she watched him pause, and turn around to look at her in the distance.
“熊，”她喊道，她看着他停顿了一下，然后转身看着远处的她。

“Hier,” she called to him in Dutch, clicking her fingers and pointing at her heel. But Bear just stared at her, then looked in the other direction, before he kept going. Shaw frowned and watched as he completely obeyed her orders.
“嘿，”她用荷兰语呼唤他，咔嚓咔嚓地用手指指着她的脚跟。但贝尔只是盯着她看，然后看向另一个方向，然后继续前进。Shaw 皱着眉头，看着他完全服从她的命令。

“What the fuck” she muttered under her breath, before blowing out a mouthful of air and pushed herself to run faster, approaching a sprint as she chased after her dog.
“他妈的，”她低声咕哝着，然后吐出一口空气，强迫自己跑得更快，在追逐她的狗时接近冲刺。

“Bear” she shouted after him as he continued to keep running at full speed through the park, her muscles screaming as she pushed herself as fast as she could.
“熊，”她在他身后喊道，他继续在公园里全速奔跑，她的肌肉在她尽可能快地推动自己时发出尖叫。

“Stout hond” she chastised him knowing she was now close enough for him to hear, but again he took no notice of her. At least he was slowing down Shaw thought her heart racing fast in her chest. Finally he slowed down to a stop still several yards ahead of her, sitting at someones feet wagging his tail happily. Shaw squinted to see who it was in the dim evening light, and as she jogged closer realised it could only be one person. Root. Coming to a stop in front of Root she put her knees on her sides and doubled in half, taking long deep gasps for air.
“粗壮的叮叮咚咚”她责备他，知道她现在已经离得足够近了，他可以听到，但他又一次没有注意到她。至少他放慢了速度，Shaw 觉得她的心在胸口跳得很快。最后，他放慢了速度，停在了她前方几码处，坐在某人的脚边，高兴地摇着尾巴。Shaw 在昏暗的夜光中眯起眼睛看是谁，当她慢跑走近时，她意识到那只能是一个人。根。在 Root 面前停了下来，她把膝盖放在身体两侧，对折成两半，深深地喘着气。

“What in the hell” she managed in between ragged breaths. “What are you doing out here?”
“什么，”她在粗重的呼吸之间设法。“你在这儿做什么？”

“I came to see you” Root smiled, she was rugged up in a coat with the collar popped up to keep her neck warm, her nose and cheeks rosy pink from the cold.
“我是来看你的”Root 微笑着，她穿着一件粗犷的外套，衣领弹出来保暖，她的鼻子和脸颊因寒冷而呈红粉色。

“Of course you did” Shaw said her breathing slowly coming back to normal, as she hooked Bear onto the leash and thrust it into Root’s hands.
“你当然知道，”Shaw 说，她的呼吸慢慢恢复正常，她把 Bear 钩在皮带上，把它塞进了 Root 的手中。

“You almost killed me.”
“你差点要了我的命。”

“Don’t be so dramatic, Sameen” Root said patting Bear’s head.
“别这么夸张，Sameen，”Root 拍了拍 Bear 的头说。

“I was talking to the dog” Shaw said and nudged Bear with her foot.
“我在和那只狗说话，”Shaw 说着，用脚轻推了一下 Bear。

“It’s not my fault Bear likes me more” Root said and Shaw glared at her.
“这不是我的错，Bear 更喜欢我，”Root 说，Shaw 瞪了她一眼。

“Bear does not like you more.”
“熊不喜欢你。”

Root quirked an eyebrow and watched as Shaw stretched.
鲁特皱起眉毛，看着肖伸了个懒腰。

“So I thought about your thing” Shaw said, very aware that Root was happily watching her every move.
“所以我想到了你的事，”Shaw 说，他非常清楚 Root 正在愉快地看着她的一举一动。

“My thing?” Root asked.
“我的东西？”鲁特问道。

“Yeah, your we should move into together because we’re married thing” Shaw said rolling her shoulders a couple of times, and stretching her neck on both sides.
“是的，我们应该一起搬进去，因为我们结婚了，”Shaw 说着，转动了几次肩膀，向两侧伸展了她的脖子。

“And?” Root said a ounce of excitement creeping into her voice.
“然后？”Root 说，她的声音中爬上了一丝兴奋。

“And you’re probably right” Shaw said with a shrug.
“你可能是对的，”Shaw 耸耸肩说。

Root’s eyes widened “So that’s a yes?”
Root 睁大了眼睛，“所以这是吗？

“I mean you would have probably just trapped me at your place one way or another so, yeah” Shaw said and looked at Root who’s whole face had lit up with an excited smile. Root stepped around Bear and looked at Shaw before leaning in and kissing the end of her cold nose. Shaw just rolled her eyes reaching up and putting her freezing cold hand on Root’s cheek and pulling her in, their lips grazing against each other before Shaw actually kissed her properly.
“我的意思是，你可能会以某种方式把我困在你的地方，所以，是的，”Shaw 说着，看着 Root，他的整个脸上都露出了兴奋的笑容。Root 绕过 Bear，看着 Shaw，然后俯身亲吻了她冰冷的鼻子末端。Shaw 只是翻了个白眼，伸出冰冷的手放在 Root 的脸颊上，将她拉了进去，他们的嘴唇在 Shaw 真正正确地吻她之前相互摩擦。

“Your hand is freezing” Root whispered against Shaw’s lips.
“你的手都冻僵了，”Root 在 Shaw 的嘴唇上低声说。

“So I’ll put it down your pants and warm it up” Shaw smirked and swore Root’s cheeks flushed a deeper shade of pink.
“所以我把它放进你的裤子里，暖和一下，”Shaw 得意地笑着发誓，Root 的脸颊泛起了更深的粉红色。

“Wanna go home?” Root asked and Shaw smirked.
“想回家吗？”鲁特问道，肖得意地笑了。

“Yeah, home sounds good.”
“是的，回家听起来不错。”

*

“Do you know what day it is?” Root asked as she handed Shaw a coffee the next morning.
“你知道今天是什么日子吗？”第二天早上，鲁特递给肖一杯咖啡时问道。

“Thursday?” Shaw replied taking a sip from the black steaming coffee.
“星期四？”Shaw 回答说，啜了一口热气腾腾的黑咖啡。

“First of December” Root said and wiggled her eyebrows “Christmas is coming.”
“十二月一日，”鲁特说着，扭动着眉毛，“圣诞节快到了。

“Someones told you Santa isn’t real right?” Shaw said looking at Root who pulled a face.
“有人告诉你圣诞老人不是真的，对吧？”Shaw 看着拉着脸的 Root 说。

“Oh come on Sam, everyone likes christmas” Root said “Even sociopaths with axis II personality disorders”
“哦，拜托，山姆，每个人都喜欢圣诞节”鲁特说，“即使是患有轴 II 型人格障碍的反社会者”

“Is that a proven fact?” Shaw asked and Root put down her mug, wrapping her arms around Shaw and pulling her in until their hips bumped together.
“这是事实吗？”Shaw 问道，Root 放下她的杯子，搂住 Shaw 并将她拉进去，直到他们的臀部撞在一起。

“We can get a tree” Root said “And put antlers on Bear, and drink whiskey by the fire, and have sex by fairy light”
“我们可以找一棵树，”鲁特说，“给熊戴上鹿角，在火炉旁喝威士忌，在仙女的灯光下做爱。

“No candles?” Shaw lifted an eyebrow and Root smirked leaning in closer.
“没有蜡烛？”Shaw 扬起眉毛，Root 得意地笑着，靠得更近了。

“There’s always candles” Root said her lips against Shaw’s ear “Hot melted wax, fire, something that smells so good, what more could a girl want” Roots lips kissed down Shaw’s neck, biting, and sucking gently at her pulse point.
“总是有蜡烛”Root 说，她的嘴唇贴在 Shaw 的耳朵上 “热融化的蜡，火，闻起来这么香的东西，女孩子还想要什么呢” Roots 的嘴唇亲吻着 Shaw 的脖子，咬着，轻轻地吸吮着她的脉搏点。

Shaw put her coffee down on the counter and pushed Root back against it.
Shaw 把她的咖啡放在柜台上，把 Root 推回去。

“Are you going to be like this all month?” she asked and Root pulled back with her lust filled soft dark eyes, and pink parted lips twisting into a smile.
“你这个月都要这样吗？”她问道，Root 缩了回去，她那双充满欲望的柔和黑眼睛，粉红色的嘴唇扭曲成一个微笑。

“Maybe” she said softly. “I love Christmas”
“也许吧，”她轻声说。“我  爱  圣诞节”

“Do you?” Shaw asked running her hands over Root’s ass before bringing them around to the front, undoing the button of Root’s jeans with a quick flick of her fingers and pulling the zipper down.
“是吗？”Shaw 问道，她的手在 Root 的屁股上滑过，然后把它们带到前面，用手指快速弹动，解开 Root 牛仔裤的纽扣，拉下拉链。

“Yeah” Root replied breathlessly as Shaw slid her hand into Root’s underwear.
“是的，”Root 上气不接下气地回答，Shaw 将手滑进了 Root 的内裤。

“You know it gets pretty cold in December” Shaw said pressing a single finger inside Root making her cheeks flush pink. Root moved her legs further apart, tugging her jeans down over her ass and Shaw smirked feeling her wetness.
“你知道十二月会很冷，”Shaw 说，将一根手指按进 Root 体内，使她的脸颊泛起粉红色。Root 将她的双腿进一步分开，将她的牛仔裤拉到她的屁股上，Shaw 感觉到她的湿漉漉的，得意地笑着。

“It can be kinda hard to keep warm” Shaw said catching Root’s lips with her own and biting on her bottom lip. “Unless you keep moving” she said, adding another finger and thrusting them steadily. A breathless gasp escaping Root’s lips and Shaw watched her face, the long curled lashed of her closed eyes, the pinkness that was spreading across her cheeks, the way her lips were parted and her tongue was sitting between her teeth. She looked at Root’s hands that were gripping the edge of the counter, she pressed into Root further drawing out a moan before pulling her hand out of Root’s pants altogether. Root’s eyes fluttered open, her pupils dilated from arousal.
“保暖可能有点困难，”Shaw 说，用自己的嘴唇抓住 Root 的嘴唇，咬住她的下唇。“除非你继续移动，”她说，又增加了一根手指，稳稳地着。Root 的嘴唇发出喘息，Shaw 看着她的脸，她闭着的眼睛长长的卷曲睫毛，脸颊上蔓延的粉红色，她的嘴唇分开的方式，她的舌头坐在她的牙齿之间。她看着 Root 抓着柜台边缘的手，她进一步压入 Root，发出一声呻吟，然后把手完全从 Root 的裤子里抽了出来。Root 的眼睛颤抖着睁开了，她的瞳孔因兴奋而放大。

“What are you doing?” Root asked sliding her hands up Shaw’s sides.
“你在干什么？”Root 问道，她的手滑上了 Shaw 的两侧。

“My coffee’s gonna go cold” Shaw shrugged concealing the smirk that was trying to appear on her face.
“我的咖啡要凉了，”Shaw 耸耸肩，掩饰了她脸上试图出现的笑容。

“I’ll make you another one” Root said grabbing Shaw as she tried to move.
“我再给你做一个，”Root 说，在她试图移动时抓住了 Shaw。

“I’ll just have this one” Shaw said reaching for her mug, but Root was fast and moved it out of her reach. Shaw lifted an eyebrow at Root who just stared at her, biting on her bottom lip.
“我就这个，”Shaw 说着伸手去拿她的杯子，但 Root 很快就把它移到了她够不到的地方。Shaw 向 Root 挑了挑眉毛，而 Root 只是盯着她，咬着她的下唇。

“You can’t just finger me and then stop” Root said “When have I ever done that to you?”
“你不能只是用手指摸我然后停下来，”鲁特说，“我什么时候对你做过那样的事情？

“Do you want me to make a list?” Shaw smirked and Root tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.
“你要我列个清单吗？”Shaw 得意地笑着，Root 把一缕头发捋到耳后。

“Sameen” she said with a pout, as Shaw dragged her fingers up Root’s hips and waist, sliding them under her shirt and digging her fingertips into Root’s back.
“Sameen，”她撅着嘴说，Shaw 将她的手指拖到 Root 的臀部和腰部，将它们滑到她的衬衫下，并将指尖探入 Root 的背部。

“I was getting into the christmas spirit” Shaw said with a smirk biting lightly on Root’s shoulder “And then I remembered, I don’t care about Christmas.”
“我正沉浸在圣诞气氛中，”Shaw 轻轻地咬着 Root 的肩膀，得意地笑着说，“然后我想起来，我不在乎圣诞节。

“But you care about me” Root said letting her head fall back as Shaw kept biting her.
“但你关心我，”Root 说，当 Shaw 不断咬她时，她的头向后仰。

“So you keep saying” Shaw said before taking her hands off Root again and pulling back.
“所以你一直说，”Shaw 说，然后再次将手从 Root 身上移开并抽回。

“Sam” Root groaned in protest.
“山姆”鲁特呻吟着抗议。

“Get up” Shaw said and pointed at the counter, Root lifted an eyebrow but pulled herself up onto the counter without a word. Shaw pulled Root’s jeans off and dropped them on the ground, staring at Root’s crotch before meeting her eyes.
“起来，”Shaw 说着，指着柜台，Root 挑了挑眉，但还是一言不发地把自己拉到了柜台上。Shaw 脱下 Root 的牛仔裤，把它们扔在地上，盯着 Root 的胯部，然后与她的眼睛相遇。

“Is this payback or something?” Root asked and Shaw smirked.
“这是回报还是什么？”鲁特问道，肖得意地笑了。

“Oh baby, this isn’t even close to what payback would look like, for all the times you leave me hanging” Shaw said and Root licked her lip.
“哦，宝贝，这甚至还不接近回报的样子，因为你总是让我悬着，”Shaw 说，Root 舔了舔嘴唇。

“You enjoy it” she said “And I always see it through, eventually”
“你喜欢它，”她说，“我总能看透它，最终。

“Eventually” Shaw echoed putting her hands on Root’s thighs and pushing them apart. “Lay back.”
“最终”Shaw 附和道，将她的手放在 Root 的大腿上，将它们分开。“躺下。”

Root did as she was told, and Shaw smirked to herself knowing she had the upper hand for once.
Root 按照她的吩咐做了，Shaw 对自己得意地笑了笑，因为她知道自己这一次占了上风。

“It’s fun being in charge” Shaw said and Root rolled her eyes, Shaw pulled Root to the edge of the counter and yanked her underwear off, lowering herself so she was between Root’s thighs and kissing along each one. She looked up at Root watching her chest start to rise and fall at a quickened pace. Shaw kissed Root’s centre, running her tongue through the folds slowly and softly. She heard Root exhale, her eyes lifting so she could watch Root, watch her hands, her fingers dance across her own stomach, slipping under her shirt and running up to her chest. Shaw gently traced Root’s clit with her tongue, watching as Root’s hips lifted, and a soft moan escaped her lips. She slipped a finger in, then another, pumping them steadily while her tongue pressed harder on Root’s clit. Shaw shut her eyes for the briefest moment letting Root’s moans be the only thing she was aware of. She opened her eyes again, looking at Root, her back arched on the counter, she could see every breath enter and exit her lungs, one hand gripped in a tangle of her own hair, the other on her breast.
“负责很有趣，”Shaw 说，Root 翻了个白眼，Shaw 把 Root 拉到柜台边上，把她的内裤扯下来，把自己压低，这样她就在 Root 的大腿之间，沿着每条大腿亲吻。她抬头看着 Root，看着她的胸膛开始以更快的速度起伏。Shaw 亲吻了 Root 的中心，她的舌头缓慢而轻柔地穿过褶皱。她听到 Root 呼气，她抬起眼睛，这样她就可以看着 Root，看着她的手，她的手指在自己的肚子上跳舞，滑到她的衬衫下，一直滑到她的胸前。Shaw 用舌头轻轻地抚摸着 Root 的阴蒂，看着 Root 的臀部抬起，她的嘴唇发出轻柔的呻吟。她把一根手指滑进去，然后又滑进一根，稳稳地抽动它们，同时她的舌头更用力地按在 Root 的阴蒂上。Shaw 在最短暂的一瞬间闭上了眼睛，让 Root 的呻吟成为她唯一能意识到的事情。她再次睁开眼睛，看着 Root，她的背弓在柜台上，她可以看到每一次呼吸进出她的肺部，一只手抓着自己缠结的头发，另一只手抓着她的乳房。

“Do you want me to stop?” Shaw asked with a smirk and Root’s eyes flashed open as she looked down at Shaw.
“你想让我停下来吗？”Shaw 得意地笑着问道，Root 低头看着 Shaw，眼睛睁开了。

“Don’t you dare” she said breathlessly.
“你不敢，”她气喘吁吁地说。

Shaw bit Root’s inner thigh whilst slipping another finger inside her making her gasp in pleasure, as she quickened her pace, curling the tips of her fingers inside Root, her moans growing louder and louder, before finally her back arched, Root’s hands searching for anything to grip onto as Shaw sent her over the edge, her orgasm rippling through her body, before she fell back down limply, her breathing heavy.
Shaw 咬住了 Root 的大腿内侧，同时将另一根手指滑入她体内，让她高兴地喘息，她加快了步伐，将指尖卷曲在 Root 体内，她的呻吟声越来越大，最后她的背拱了起来，当 Shaw 将她送过边缘时，Root 的手寻找任何可以抓住的东西，她的高潮在她的身体中荡漾， 然后她瘫软地倒下，呼吸沉重。

But Shaw wasn’t finished, she pinned Root’s thighs down and lowered her head again, sucking on her clit. Root propped herself up on her elbows lifting her head to look at her.
但 Shaw 还没有结束，她将 Root 的大腿压下，再次低下头，吮吸她的阴蒂。Root 用手肘撑起身体，抬起头看着她。

“S-Sam” she tried to say but let her head fall back as a groan fell from her lips.
“S-Sam，”她试图说，但随着一声呻吟从她的嘴里落下，她的头向后仰。

Shaw ran circles around Root’s clit with her tongue before sucking on it again, lightly, then harder, with more pressure. She felt Root try and squirm underneath her, desperately trying to move her legs closer together, to press against Shaw’s head. But she couldn’t move them, Shaw was pinning her down with too much strength, forcing her legs to stay apart. Root couldn’t stay still underneath her, she could barely handle the feeling of overwhelming pleasure, as she fell back down onto the counter, her arms reaching above her head to grip the other edge, her knuckles going white.
Shaw 用舌头在 Root 的阴蒂上转了一圈，然后再次轻轻地吸吮它，然后用力地吸吮它，用力更大。她感觉到 Root 试图在她身下蠕动，拼命地试图将她的双腿靠得更近，以压在 Shaw 的头上。但她无法移动它们，Shaw 用太大的力气将她压在地上，迫使她的双腿分开。Root 无法在她身下保持静止，她几乎无法忍受那种压倒性的快感，她又倒在了柜台上，双臂伸过头顶抓住另一边，指关节发白。

“Oh my god” she groaned bucking her hips as she rode out a second orgasm, feeling the blood rushing through her body, as finally she fell still, Shaw letting go of her legs.
“哦，我的上帝”她呻吟着，蹬着臀部，随着她的第二次高潮而出，感觉到血液在她的身体里奔涌，最后她一动不动，Shaw 松开了她的双腿。

Shaw stood up and walked round to the other side of the counter, fully admiring the half naked woman who was laying on top of it, staring at the ceiling, breathing heavily.
Shaw 站起身来，绕到柜台的另一边，全神贯注地欣赏着躺在柜台上的半裸女人，她盯着天花板，大口喘着粗气。

She looked down at Root’s face and smirked.
她低头看着 Root 的脸，得意地笑了笑。

“I can’t feel my legs” Root said looking up at Shaw, her cheeks still flushed, her eyes still dilated.
“我感觉不到我的腿，”Root 说，抬头看着 Shaw，她的脸颊仍然通红，眼睛仍然放大。

“Good” Shaw said leaning down and lightly biting the end of her nose. “You can stay there forever, you look better than a fruit bowl”
“很好，”Shaw 说，俯下身来，轻轻地咬了咬她的鼻尖。“你可以永远呆在那里，你看起来比水果碗还好”

”A fruit bowl” Root repeated, still feeling flustered, her heart still racing in her chest.
“一个水果碗”Root 重复道，仍然感到慌乱，她的心还在胸口跳动。

Shaw picked up her mug of coffee and took a sip.
Shaw 拿起她的咖啡杯，喝了一口。

“Still warm” she said and winked at Root who just stared at her in a complete daze.
“还是暖和的，”她说着，向 Root 眨了眨眼，而 Root 只是完全发呆地盯着她。

Chapter Text

“This is so exciting” Root said with a grin as they broke into a high security warehouse facility, sticking against the walls as they actively dodged any cameras.
“这太令人兴奋了，”当他们闯入一个高度安全的仓库设施时，Root 笑着说，他们紧贴着墙壁，积极躲避任何摄像头。

“It’s not” Shaw said “And you’re distracted.”
“不是的，”Shaw 说，“而且你分心了。

“I am not” Root said, and Shaw could feel Root’s body so close behind her they were almost touching. Shaw had her gun by her side, trying to ignore Root as she concentrated on trying to listening for footsteps before they crossed the hallway.
“我不是，”Root 说，Shaw 能感觉到 Root 的身体离她很近，他们几乎要碰到。Shaw 把枪放在身边，试图无视 Root，因为她专注于在他们穿过走廊之前试图倾听脚步声。

“She says we’re clear to go” Root whispered in Shaw’s ear and Shaw rolled her eyes.
“她说我们准备好了，”Root 在 Shaw 耳边低语，Shaw 翻了个白眼。

“This is such a terrible idea” Shaw said glancing down the hallway and seeing it was clear before taking a couple of quick steps to the wall on the other side, Root followed, and again she was so close behind Shaw their bodies bumped together.
“这真是个糟糕的主意，”Shaw 说，他向走廊瞥了一眼，看到很清楚，然后快步走到另一边的墙上，Root 紧随其后，她又一次紧跟在 Shaw 身后，他们的身体撞在一起。

Shaw glared over her shoulder at Root who simply lifted an eyebrow.
Shaw 回头瞪了 Root 一眼，Root 只是扬起了眉毛。

“Close?” Shaw said.
“接近？”“Shaw 说。

“Married.” Root answered.
“结婚了。”鲁特回答。

“Annoyed” Shaw said.
“很生气，”Shaw 说。

“Stimulated” Root smirked.
“刺激了”Root 得意地笑了笑。

Shaw glared at her again, before throwing her arm over Root’s shoulder, using it to steady her aim as she fired a bullet at a guard who had appeared and was suddenly reaching for his walkie.
Shaw 再次瞪了她一眼，然后将手臂搭在 Root 的肩膀上，用它稳定了她的目标，同时她向一名出现并突然伸手去拿对讲机的警卫开了一枪。

“Distracted” Shaw said again and turned away from Root.
“分心了，”Shaw 又说了一遍，转身离开了 Root。

“Everyone gets distracted sometimes, Sam” Root said as they approached double doors, she punched in a password that The Machine gave her and the little red light switched to green as they passed through.
“每个人有时都会分心，山姆，”鲁特说，当他们接近双门时，她输入了机器给她的密码，当他们通过时，小红灯就变成了绿灯。

“Well can you not when we’re trespassing” Shaw asked her gun was up, ready, she was focused, looking around.
“好吧，当我们擅自闯入时，你能不能不行”Shaw 问道，她的枪已经举起来了，准备好了，她全神贯注，环顾四周。

“Why?” Root asked and Shaw stared at her blankly.
“为什么？”鲁特问道，肖茫然地盯着她。

“It would be an inconvenience” she replied.
“这会很不方便，”她回答。

“If I got shot?” Root asked walking off further down the hallway and pulling a key card from her pocket, swiping it to get into one of the offices.
“如果我中枪了？”Root 问道，沿着走廊走得更远，从口袋里掏出一张钥匙卡，刷了一下，进入了其中一间办公室。

Shaw felt her jaw clench unwillingly at those words. Then she heard Root’s gun fire. She spun around and saw another guard falling at Root’s feet, she glanced at Shaw before stepping over him into the office.
“听到这些话，Shaw 觉得自己的下巴不情愿地咬紧了下巴。然后她听到了 Root 的枪声。她转过身来，看到另一个警卫倒在了鲁特的脚下，她看了一眼肖，然后跨过他走进了办公室。

“I don’t think you have to worry about me getting shot” Root said as she sat down at the desk and opened the laptop. Shaw pulled the collapsed guard back into the office and stood by the door just in case. “At least while you’re here, anyway”
“我觉得你不用担心我被枪杀，”Root 说，她坐在桌子前，打开了笔记本电脑。Shaw 把倒在地上的警卫拉回办公室，站在门口以防万一。“至少你在这里的时候是这样”

“What does that mean?” Shaw asked.
“这是什么意思？”Shaw 问道。

“You wouldn’t let anyone shoot me” Root said with a smirk and Shaw could hear her typing furiously.
“你不会让任何人向我开枪的，”Root 得意地笑着说，Shaw 可以听到她愤怒地打字。

“Well, that depends” Shaw answered and Root was about to reply when suddenly The Machine warned her.
“嗯，那要看情况”Shaw 回答，Root 正要回答，突然 The Machine 警告了她。

“Incoming” she said to Shaw who stuck her head out into the hallway, immediately seeing at least six guards coming her way.
“进来了，”她对 Shaw 说，Shaw 把头探出走廊，立即看到至少有六名警卫向她走来。

“Oh now it’s a party” Shaw smirked and took two of them out immediately, one bullet each. Then she was being shot at, a bullet hit the wall in front of her and bounced back off, another two shot past her face. Then it was her turn, she stuck her arm around the corner and shot twice, memorising where the guards at been in formation as they approached her, she heard a grunt and another one was down. Three left. They were getting closer, she had to move faster. Four gunshots from the guards, none of them even came near her. She shot a couple more, but they didn’t fall. Now they were playing.
“哦，现在是个派对了，”Shaw 得意地笑着，立即把他们中的两个人拿了出来，每人一颗子弹。然后她被射中，一颗子弹击中了她面前的墙壁并弹了回来，另外两颗子弹从她的脸上射过。然后轮到她了，她把手臂伸到角落里，开了两枪，记住了警卫靠近她时队形的位置，她听到一声咕噜声，另一个人倒下了。还剩下三个。他们越来越近，她必须移动得更快。警卫开了四枪，没有一个靠近她。她又开了几枪，但他们没有落下。现在他们开始玩了。

She shot her last two bullets, getting one of the guys in both his kneecaps and he dropped to the ground with a loud groan of pain. She was out. Dropping her gun on the floor she stepped out into the hallway completely unarmed without a second thought, not seeing Root’s eyes widen from the other side of the room or her mouth fall open to protest.
她射出了最后两颗子弹，击中了其中一个人的膝盖骨，他倒在地上，发出痛苦的大声呻吟。她出去了。她把枪扔在地板上，完全没有手无寸铁地走出去，没有看到 Root 从房间的另一边睁大了眼睛，也没有看到她张大了嘴巴抗议。

Shaw greeted one of the last two guards with a punch in the face, catching him right across the bridge of his nose sending him stumbling back, just in time for her to grab the other guard by the jacket and pull him forward, bring her knee up to his gut in one hard and sharp movement, waiting for him to buckle before catching his arm and twisting it behind his back. Keeping him firmly double over she kneed him again, once, twice, three times until he finally began to fall to his knees. Letting go of his arm he dropped onto fall fours, and she kicked him in the teeth.
Shaw 一拳打在最后两个守卫的脸上，正好隔着他的鼻梁接住他，让他踉跄着往后退，正好赶上她抓住另一个守卫的夹克，把他往前拉，用一个艰难而尖锐的动作将膝盖抬到他的肚子上， 等他扣好后，才抓住他的手臂，把它扭到背后。她让他牢牢地弯下腰，再次跪下他，一次，两次，三次，直到他终于开始跪倒在地。他放开了他的手臂，倒在了四肢上，她踢了他的牙齿。

Unfortunately the other guard was coming at her again and swung an over thrown punch at her, dodging it he slammed his fist into the wall and she shoved him against it reaching for his gun but he threw her off, she stumbled back against the other wall and growled with annoyance, lurching at him again. She jabbed him with her elbow before swinging a punch and catching him in the jaw, his face bloodied from the first punch she had sent him. Suddenly he pulled a knife, swinging it at her, she quickly ducked before trying to grab his arm but before she could he slashed the knife at her, catching her across the forearm.
不幸的是，另一个警卫再次向她走来，向她挥了一拳，躲开了，他用拳头砸在墙上，她把他推到墙上，伸手去拿枪，但他把她甩开了，她跌跌撞撞地靠在另一面墙上，恼怒地咆哮着，再次向他猛扑。她用手肘戳了戳他，然后挥出一拳，打在他的下巴上，他的脸被她打给他的第一拳打得流血了。突然，他抽出一把刀，朝她挥来，她迅速躲开，试图抓住他的手臂，但在她来得及之前，他就把刀砍向她，划过她的前臂。

She froze for less than a millisecond a frown appearing on her face as she saw blood appearing on her arm, before a rush of anger filled her veins and she threw him back against the wall whacking the knife from his hand letting it clatter to the ground. She didn’t realise Root had just appeared in the doorway. Root saw the blood on Shaw’s arm and immediately pulled her gun, stepping over the trail of bodies that Shaw had left and pointing it at the guards head. Root watched them wrestling with each other for a few moments before seeing his knife laying on the ground, she picked it up with a smirk.
她愣住了不到一毫秒，当她看到手臂上出现鲜血时，她的脸上出现了皱眉，然后一股愤怒涌上了她的血管，她把他扔回了墙上，从他手中甩开了刀，让它哐当一声掉在地上。她没有意识到 Root 刚刚出现在门口。鲁特看到肖手臂上的血，立即拔出枪，跨过肖留下的尸体痕迹，指向警卫的头部。鲁特看着他们互相摔跤了一会儿，然后看到他的刀躺在地上，她得意地笑着捡起了刀。

“Hey buddy” Root said to him and both him and Shaw frowned at the interruption of Root’s voice. “We’ve got a problem” Root said and the guard kept fighting Shaw, trying his best not to let Root’s voice distract him.
“嘿，伙计，”Root 对他说，他和 Shaw 都对 Root 的声音打断皱起了眉头。“我们遇到了问题，”Root 说，警卫继续与 Shaw 战斗，尽力不让 Root 的声音分散他的注意力。

“See you’re probably a decent guy” Root said “But that little firecracker who’s just taken out all your friends and is probably about to knock you unconscious just happens to be my wife, and I really don’t take well to people who slash at my beautiful girl with a knife.”
“看，你可能是个正派的家伙，”鲁特说，“但是那个刚刚干掉了你所有的朋友，可能要把你打晕的小鞭炮恰好是我的妻子，我  真的  不喜欢那些用刀砍我漂亮的女孩的人。

Shaw almost spun around to take Root out instead, but in that split second of weakness the guard threw her back against the wall and she felt a sharp jolt in her back, but before she could pull herself back up to go at him again, Root stepped in front of her placing her gun right between the guards eyes, pinning him against the opposite wall.
Shaw 几乎要转身把 Root 干掉，但在那一瞬间，警卫把她背靠在了墙上，她感到背部一阵剧烈的震动，但在她站起来再次攻击他之前，Root 走到她面前，将枪放在警卫的眼睛之间， 把他钉在对面的墙上。

“Do you see why we have a problem?” Root asked and the guard nodded desperately. “So what are we gonna do?”
“你明白我们为什么有问题了吗？”鲁特问道，警卫绝望地点点头。“那我们该怎么办？”

“I’m sorry,” the guard begged, sweat and blood caking his face, his eyes wild with panic.
“对不起，”守卫乞求道，汗水和血在他的脸上凝固，他的眼睛里充满了恐慌。

“You’re sorry?” Root repeated “Yeah, that’s not good enough.”
“你很抱歉？”鲁特重复道：“是的，这还不够好。

In one swift movement she caught his arm, pinning it up against the wall and stabbing his knife through the palm of his hand, trapping him against the wall while his scream filled the hallway.
她迅速地抓住了他的手臂，把它固定在墙上，用刀刺穿了他的手掌，把他困在墙上，他的尖叫声充满了走廊。

Root turned around and grinned at Shaw who was leaning against the other wall still catching her breath.
Root 转过身来，对靠在另一面墙上还在喘息的 Shaw 咧嘴一笑。

“Overprotective” Shaw mumbled standing up and not even glancing at the crying guard as they walked back toward the exit.
“过度保护”Shaw 喃喃自语，站起身来，甚至没有看一眼哭泣的警卫，他们向出口走去。

“Married.” Root replied, stopping Shaw as soon as they got outside and gently grabbing her injured arm.
“结婚了。”鲁特回答道，他们一出来就阻止了肖，轻轻地抓住了她受伤的手臂。

“It’s fine” Shaw snapped pulling her arm back and Root frowned. “Did you upload the virus?”
“没事，”Shaw 厉声说，把她的手臂往后拉，Root 皱起眉头。“你上传病毒了吗？”

“Mhm” Root said. “Hopefully they learn their lesson about stealing classified information.”
“嗯，”鲁特说。“希望他们能吸取关于窃取机密信息的教训。”

Shaw quickly inspected her arm, before putting part of her t-shirt between her teeth and tearing a piece off, one handedly tying it around the wound to stop it bleeding.
Shaw 迅速检查了她的手臂，然后将她的一部分 T 恤放在她的牙齿之间，撕下一块，一只手把它绑在伤口上以止血。

“It’s fine huh?” Root said watching her.
“没事吧？”鲁特看着她说。

“I had him you know” Shaw said switching the subject trying to walk off but Root stopped her, grabbing her arm so they were facing each other, Shaw went to take a step back but backed right into the wall.
“我抓住了他，你知道的，”Shaw 说着，转移了话题，试图走开，但 Root 阻止了她，抓住了她的手臂，让他们面对面，Shaw 想后退一步，但直接退到了墙上。

“What was that thing you were saying about not having to do everything alone?” Root asked and Shaw just rolled her eyes. “I’m serious, Sam.”
“你刚才说的不必一个人做所有事情是什么？”Root 问道，Shaw 只是翻了个白眼。“我是认真的，山姆。”

“I can handle six guards, you know I can” Shaw said and Root just looked at her.
“我能对付六个警卫，你知道我能，”Shaw 说，Root 只是看着她。

“I know” she said, her tone changing, suddenly a lot softer. “I’m just saying, you don’t have to.”
“我知道，”她说，她的语气变了，突然变得柔和了很多。“我只是说，你不必这样做。”

Shaw couldn’t avoid Root’s eyes even if she wanted to. When Root looked at her, it was always a fixated gaze, it was intense and always lusty. Dark eyes tracking her every movement. She remembered telling Root the exact same thing, she remembered Root saying those three little fucking words. For the first time, she knew how Root felt. Kind of.
Shaw 即使想避开 Root 的眼睛，也无法避开。当 Root 看着她时，总是一种专注的目光，一种强烈而总是充满欲望的目光。漆黑的眼睛跟踪着她的一举一动。她记得对 Root 说了一模一样的话，她记得 Root 说了那三个他妈的小字。她第一次知道了 Root 的感受。有点。

“Did you have to tell him I was your wife though?” Shaw asked with a slight change of subject, matching her tone close to Root’s, knowing their was zero point in trying to argue.
“不过，你得告诉他我是你的妻子吗？”Shaw 问道，话题略有改变，她的语气与 Root 的语气相近，她知道他们试图争论是零意义的。

“I tell everyone” Root said with a small smile.
“我告诉大家，”鲁特微微一笑。

“You what?”
“你什么？”

“It’s fun” Root said bumping her knee against Shaw’s “Getting to call you my wife.”
“这很有趣，”Root 说，用膝盖撞了碰 Shaw，“可以叫你我的妻子了。

“No” Shaw said suddenly putting her hands on Root’s stomach and pushing her away, immediately starting to walk off.
“不，”Shaw 突然说，把手放在 Root 的肚子上，把她推开，立即开始走开。

“No what?” Root said and chased after her.
“不，什么？”鲁特说着追了上去。

“You can’t just…”
“你不能就这样......”

“Can’t just what?” Root asked “Call you my wife? Even though that’s what you are, wife”
“不能就什么？”鲁特问道：“叫你我的妻子？即使这就是你 ， 妻子 ”

Don’t. The word was formed in Shaw’s mouth but it didn’t come out.
不要。这个词是在 Shaw 的嘴里形成的，但它没有说出来。

“You must have done it at least once by now” Root said and Shaw ignored her, but Root smirked, knowing her silence meant it was a yes. “Who was it?”
“你现在至少做过一次了，”Root 说，Shaw 没有理会她，但 Root 得意地笑了笑，她知道她的沉默意味着这是肯定的。“是谁？”

“Nobody.” Shaw replied.
“没有人。”“肖回答道。

“Oh it was someone we know then” Root said springing along beside Shaw, as several drops of rain began to fall around them.
“哦，那是我们认识的人，”Root 说，跳到 Shaw 身边，几滴雨开始在他们周围落下。

“Do you have a mute switch?” Shaw asked refusing to look at Root.
“你有静音开关吗？”Shaw 问道，拒绝看 Root。

“You know the answer is no” Root smirked “And are you going to tell me or should I start guessing?”
“你知道答案是否定的，”Root 得意地笑着，“那么你是要告诉我还是我应该开始猜测？

“You won’t guess” Shaw said trying to stop her.
“你猜不出来的，”Shaw 说，试图阻止她。

“Okay” Root said “Was it Harold?”
“好的，”鲁特说，“是哈罗德吗？

Shaw immediately stopped walking, turning to Root and glaring at her. “Did The Machine tell you that because I swear to god”
Shaw 立即停下了脚步，转向 Root 并瞪着她。“机器告诉你那是因为我向上帝发誓的吗”

Root’s eyes suddenly widened when she realised she had guessed it right.
当 Root 意识到自己猜对了时，她突然睁大了眼睛。

“You called me your wife in front of Harry?” she exclaimed and Shaw just frowned.
“你在哈利面前叫我你的  妻子  吗？”她喊道，肖只是皱起了眉头。

“No”
“否”

“You did!” Root squealed and Shaw exhaled loudly with mild embarrassment causing her chest to tighten a little. “Baby!”
“你做到了！”Root 尖叫着，Shaw 大声呼出一口气，略带尴尬，使她的胸口稍微紧绷了一点。“宝贝！”

“No stop it” Shaw protested “No pet names.”
“不，停下来，”Shaw 抗议道，“不准给宠物起名字。

“Did you do it while I was gone?” Root asked “Was that why you needed to go and see Harry? To tell him never to mention it to me, ever?”
“我不在的时候，你做的吗？”鲁特问道：“这就是你需要去见哈利的原因吗？告诉他永远不要跟我提这件事，永远不要？

Shaw’s jaw clenched as she watched Root’s smile growing on her face, and then suddenly through a wave of frustration and annoyance she grabbed Root by the front of her jacket and kissed her hard. Their lips crashing together before Shaw pushed her away, turning briskly on her heel and kept walking.
Shaw 看着 Root 的笑容在她脸上绽放，咬紧了下巴，然后突然在一阵沮丧和恼怒中，她抓住了 Root 的夹克前襟，狠狠地吻了她。他们的嘴唇撞在一起，然后 Shaw 推开了她，轻快地转过身来，继续走着。

“That’s your mute button” Shaw said. “And I hope you enjoyed this, because we’re never going on a mission together ever again.”
“那是你的静音按钮，”Shaw 说。“我希望你喜欢这个，因为我们再也不会一起执行任务了。”

“But Sam” Root pouted behind her.
“但是山姆，”鲁特在她身后撅着嘴。

“You’re a pain in my ass” Shaw said trying to keep ahead of Root, there was silence for a few moments before Root replied.
“你真是我屁股疼，”Shaw 说，试图走在 Root 前面，在 Root 回答之前，沉默了一会儿。

“It’s such a cute ass though” Root said.
“不过，这真是个可爱的屁股，”鲁特说。

“Case and point” Shaw said “You’re like a puppy, you keep getting distracted by everything.”
“举个例子，”Shaw 说，“你就像一只小狗，你总是被所有事情分心。

“Case and point your ass is great” Root said from behind her and Shaw spun around again to glare at her.
“案例和要点，你的屁股真棒，”Root 从她身后说，Shaw 再次转过身来瞪着她。

“What?” Root shrugged “Where’s the lie?”
“什么？”鲁特耸耸肩，“谎言在哪儿？

“If you get distracted by my ass that easily then you’re definitely going to get yourself shot” Shaw said in a huff. “And only probably by me.” she muttered.
“如果你那么容易就被我的屁股分散了注意力，那你肯定会被枪杀的，”Shaw 气愤地说。“而且可能只有我。”她咕哝道。

“I’ll take that chance” Root smirked and Shaw rolled her eyes.
“我会抓住那个机会，”Root 得意地笑着，Shaw 翻了个白眼。

“No, Root, you won’t because we’re not doing this ever again.”
“不，Root，你不会的，因为我们以后不会再这样做了。”

“Even She knows we make a great team, Sam” Root pointed out. “The only reason it bothers you now is because we’re married, I’ve always checked out your ass, you can’t tell me you never get distracted.”
“即使她知道我们是一个伟大的团队，山姆，”鲁特指出。“现在困扰你的唯一原因是因为我们结婚了，我总是检查你的屁股，你不能告诉我你永远不会分心。”

“Not really” Shaw said.
“不是真的，”Shaw 说。

“I don’t believe you” Root said skipping in front of Shaw and walking backwards so she could look at her.
“我不相信你，”鲁特说，跳到肖面前，向后走，这样她就可以看着她了。

“Why would I lie to you, wife” Shaw said practically through gritted teeth, the word still felt like sand in her mouth, but the look on Root’s face almost made it worth while. “I didn’t know it was that easy to make you blush” Shaw said with a smirk brushing past Root and leaving her standing there staring after her.
“我为什么要骗你，老婆， ”Shaw 几乎是咬牙切齿地说，这个词在她嘴里仍然像沙子一样，但 Root 脸上的表情几乎让这变得值得。我不知道让你脸红就是这么容易的，“Shaw 得意地笑着说，擦过 Root，让她站在那里盯着她。

Chapter Text

It was Shaw’s turn to make dinner. It was part of their new Let’s Be Married deal, where they did stupid shit like going grocery shopping together and actually making food instead of constantly ordering take out. And much to Shaw’s annoyance, it actually wasn’t half that bad, although several failed past attempts had resulted in ordering pizza, they were now almost convincing well adjusted members of society. That was until Root burned herself on the frying pan then tried to convince Shaw to get a matching scar, it was also before they had almost smoked out Root’s entire apartment and set off every fire alarm in the building when they forgot there was something in the oven while they were taking body shots off each other.
轮到 Shaw 做晚饭了。这是他们新的 Let's Be Married 交易的一部分，他们做了一些愚蠢的事情，比如一起去杂货店买东西，真正做饭，而不是不断地点外卖。令 Shaw 恼火的是，这实际上并没有那么糟糕，尽管过去的几次尝试都失败了，但最终都点了披萨，但他们现在几乎可以说服适应良好的社会成员。直到 Root 在煎锅上烧伤了自己，然后试图说服 Shaw 得到一个匹配的疤痕，也是在他们几乎把 Root 的整个公寓熏光并触发大楼里的所有火警之前，当他们忘记烤箱里有东西时，他们正在互相拍摄身体。

But tonight it seemed under control. Root was taking a shower, Shaw was in the kitchen. Everything was not a total disaster.
但今晚，情况似乎得到了控制。Root 正在洗澡，Shaw 在厨房里。一切都不是一场彻底的灾难。

Then Root appeared.
然后 Root 出现了。

Shaw heard her come across the room, the floorboards squeaked softly as she padded quietly into the kitchen.
Shaw 听到她穿过房间，地板发出轻柔的吱吱声，她悄悄地走进厨房。

“What are you making?” Root asked wrapping her arms around Shaw’s waist and pressing her body into Shaw’s back. Shaw went to answer, then paused, something felt strange. She could feel Root against, but it was something else, something almost wet. Turning around she saw that Root was naked, and not only was she naked, she was also dripping wet, straight out of the shower.
“你在做什么？”鲁特问道，搂住肖的腰，将她的身体压在肖的背上。Shaw 去回答，然后停顿了一下，感觉有些奇怪。她能感觉到 Root 的抵抗，但那是别的东西，几乎是湿漉漉的。她转过身来，看到鲁特赤身裸体，不仅赤身裸体，还湿漉漉的，刚从淋浴间出来。

“I’m not more effective than a towel you know” Shaw said and Root smirked. Shaw looked at the various fading bruises and bite marks that painted Root’s skin across her shoulders, her hair was pulled up messily on top of her head. It was almost unusual for Root to have her hair up, and Shaw quickly realised she was staring before turning back to the food prep.
“我并不比毛巾更有效，你知道的，”Shaw 说，Root 得意地笑了。Shaw 看着 Root 肩膀上各种褪色的瘀伤和咬痕，她的头发凌乱地扎在头顶上。Root 把头发盘起来几乎是不寻常的，Shaw 很快意识到她在盯着看，然后又转身开始准备食物。

“I didn’t realise it was that distracting” Root said and Shaw suddenly realised what this was about.
“我没有意识到这竟然如此分散注意力，”鲁特说，肖突然意识到这是怎么回事。

“I think you did” she answered keeping her back to Root. But Root just wrapped her arms around Shaw again from the back, running her hands up Shaw’s stomach and up to her chest, letting out a warm exhale on the crook of Shaw’s neck.
“我想你有，”她回答道，背对着 Root。但 Root 只是从后面再次搂住 Shaw，她的手沿着 Shaw 的肚子一直滑到她的胸口，在 Shaw 的脖子弯上呼出一口温暖的气。

“You’re cheating” Shaw said without flinching at Root’s touch.
“你在作弊，”Shaw 说，没有因为 Root 的触碰而退缩。

“How?” Root asked.
“怎么做到的？”鲁特问道。

“You’re touching me” Shaw said “You get distracted without me touching you.”
“你在碰我，”Shaw 说，“如果我不碰你，你会分心。

“Fine” Root said and pulled herself away from Shaw.
“好吧，”Root 说着，把自己从 Shaw 身边拉开。

“It’s not going to work” Shaw said and Root just lifted an eyebrow.
“这行不通，”Shaw 说，Root 只是扬起了眉毛。

“We’ll see about that” Root said getting two glasses and pouring whiskey into each one, before taking a sip of and pulling herself up onto the kitchen counter.
“我们看看吧，”Root 说着，拿了两杯，把威士忌倒进去，然后啜了一口，把自己拉到厨房的柜台上。

Shaw frowned “Get your naked ass off the counter”
Shaw 皱起眉头，“把你裸露的屁股从柜台上拿下来”

“Does it bother you?” Root smirked “You didn’t mind when you had me pinned up here the other morning”
“这让你感到困扰吗？”鲁特得意地笑着，“你不介意前几天早上把我固定在这里。

“I wasn’t making food” Shaw pointed out and Root just took another sip of whiskey.
“我不是在做食物，”Shaw 指出，Root 只是又喝了一口威士忌。

Shaw sighed and went back to focusing on dinner, knowing that whatever Root was going to throw at her she would be able to work through. Naked Root, hardly enough to throw her.
Shaw 叹了口气，继续专注于晚餐，她知道无论 Root 要扔给她什么，她都能解决。裸根，几乎不足以把她扔出去。

She focused on cutting vegetables, and wondered how a perky psychopath assassin managed to domesticate her at all. Then she heard a gasp. She wants you to turn around, Shaw reminded herself immediately. Besides, Root gasped at a lot of things, from a pretty cupcake to finding new code. Shaw ignored her. Cut the vegetables, do not turn around. It was simple. Then came another sound, it was soft almost muffled, and then a sharp intake of breath. Shaw forced herself not to glance over her shoulder, not to even wonder what Root was up to, determined not to let her win. It was quiet for a couple of steady moments, Shaw used the knife to slide all the cut up vegetables onto the tray, then as she went to pick it up she heard a soft groan. She paused, both hands on the tray, taking a second to force herself not to look at Root, who she knew was still in the kitchen. She picked up the tray and turned towards the stove, but immediately caught sight of Root from her peripherals. Root, who was laying on the kitchen counter, toes curled around the edge, cheeks pink, legs spread, fingering herself.
她专注于切菜，并想知道一个活泼的精神病杀手是如何设法驯化她的。然后她听到了一声喘息。她想让你转身，Shaw 立即提醒自己。此外，Root 对很多事情都感到惊叹，从漂亮的纸杯蛋糕到寻找新代码。Shaw 没有理会她。切蔬菜，不要转身。这很简单。然后又传来了另一个声音，它很轻柔，几乎是闷闷不乐的，然后是一阵急促的呼吸。Shaw 强迫自己不回头看一眼，甚至不去想 Root 在做什么，决心不让她赢。安静了好一会儿，Shaw 用刀把所有切好的蔬菜滑到托盘上，然后当她去拿时，她听到了一声轻柔的呻吟。她停顿了一下，双手放在托盘上，花了一秒钟强迫自己不要看 Root，她知道他还在厨房里。她拿起托盘，转向炉子，但立即从她的外围设备中看到了 Root。Root 躺在厨房柜台上，脚趾蜷缩在边缘，脸颊通红，双腿张开，用手指抚摸自己。

The tray fell from Shaw’s hands as she turned to Root, clattering loudly onto the ground sending vegetables in every direction.
当 Shaw 转向 Root 时，托盘从 Shaw 的手中掉了下来，哐当一声落在地上，蔬菜飞向四面八方。

Her jaw fell open in disbelief, Root opened her eyes hearing the crash and looked at Shaw with a satisfied smirk. Shaw’s eyes trailed her body, then she quickly tried to pull herself back together.
她难以置信地张大了下巴，Root 听到撞击声睁开了眼睛，满意地笑着看着 Shaw。Shaw 的眼睛跟随着她的身体，然后她迅速地试图让自己重新振作起来。

“That’s the quietest you’ve ever been” Shaw said and Root pulled her fingers from herself and licked them.
“那是你有史以来最安静的一次，”Shaw 说，Root 把手指从自己身上抽出来舔了舔。

“I can’t say the same for you” Root said and glanced at the vegetables strewn across the floor.
“我不能对你说同样的话，”鲁特说着，瞥了一眼散落在地板上的蔬菜。

“That was not distraction, that was shock” Shaw said and moved closer to the counter.
“那不是分散注意力，那是震惊，”Shaw 说着，向柜台靠近了一步。

“But you’re distracted now” Root said reaching out and walking her two wet fingers up Shaw’s stomach.
“可是你现在分心了，”Root 说，伸出两根湿漉漉的手指，顺着 Shaw 的肚子滑上去。

“Stop it” Shaw said.
“住手，”Shaw 说。

“Never.” Root replied.
“从来没有。”鲁特回答道。

Shaw picked up the glass of whiskey Root poured her and took a sip before downing the whole lot.
Shaw 拿起 Root 给她倒的一杯威士忌，喝了一口，然后喝了一口。

“I’m guessing it’s pizza for dinner then” Root smirked and Shaw put a hand on Root’s throat, leaning right down until their noses were touching at the ends.
“我猜那晚饭是披萨吧”Root 得意地笑着，Shaw 把手放在 Root 的喉咙上，一直俯下身，直到他们的鼻子碰到两端。

“And who’s fault is that?” Shaw asked quirking an eyebrow, but Root just kissed her. Gently, slowly, parting Shaw’s lips and running her tongue over them.
“那是谁的错？”Shaw 皱着眉毛问道，但 Root 只是吻了她。轻轻地，慢慢地，分开 Shaw 的嘴唇，用舌头滑过它们。

“Wanna help me crank up my volume?” Root asked her lips against Shaw’s before kissing the corner of her mouth.
“想帮我提高音量吗？”Root 问道，她的嘴唇贴着 Shaw 的嘴唇，然后亲吻了她的嘴角。

*

Distracting became a game fairly quickly. And it became a competition even faster. Shaw did not like losing, and no one knew that better than Root who merrily reminded her of the fallen vegetables for hours and days after the incident. Shaw could distract Root by just breathing differently, but watching her get frustrated over it became something of a new hobby. But then it was time for payback. Shaw had been thinking about it for a couple of days now, pretending that the whole distracting thing was no longer bothering her, as much as Root continued to rub it in her face. She thought about what she could do that would distract Root the most, she considered kitchen payback, but realised wasted food was not something she was aiming for, not to mention, Root in the kitchen was an easy target. She got her in the kitchen almost daily. All it took was hands on her hips while she made coffee, or a bite on the neck and Root had entirely forgotten what she had been trying to do.
分散注意力很快就变成了一种游戏。它更快地变成了一场比赛。Shaw 不喜欢输球，没有人比 Root 更清楚这一点，他在事件发生后的几个小时和几天里都高兴地提醒她掉落的蔬菜。Shaw 可以通过不同的呼吸来分散 Root 的注意力，但看着她为此感到沮丧成为一种新的爱好。但接下来是回报的时候了。Shaw 已经考虑了几天了，假装这整件令人分心的事情不再困扰她，尽管 Root 继续在她的脸上擦它。她想着她能做些什么来最分散 Root 的注意力，她考虑过厨房的回报，但意识到浪费食物并不是她的目标，更不用说，厨房里的 Root 很容易成为目标。她几乎每天都让她进厨房。她泡咖啡时把手放在她的臀部上，或者咬一口脖子，Root 就完全忘记了她一直在想做什么。

But Root at work, well, that could be a fun game. She didn’t so much want to traumatise Harold, but fuck it would be funny.
但是 Root 在工作中，嗯，这可能是一个有趣的游戏。她并不想让哈罗德受到创伤，但他妈的会很有趣。

Shaw came back that afternoon after dealing with a number, Root was in Harold’s library with a laptop and several cables connecting in different directions. Shaw leaned against the doorway and watched Root for a moment, the concentration showing on her face, her long fingers stroking the keyboard. Why did she have to look hot, doing pretty much everything Shaw wondered, it was annoying as it sounded.
那天下午，Shaw 处理完一个号码后回来了，Root 在 Harold 的图书馆里，手里有一台笔记本电脑和几根连接着不同方向的电缆。Shaw 靠在门口，看了 Root 一会儿，她的脸上流露出专注，修长的手指抚摸着键盘。为什么她必须看起来很性感，几乎做了 Shaw 想知道的一切，这听起来很烦人。

“Hey Wife” Shaw said loudly and Root jumped looking over at Shaw, at the sound of that particular word.
“嘿 ，老婆 ，”Shaw 大声说，Root 跳了过去，看着 Shaw，听到那个特别的词。  

“That’s me” Root said with a slight smile.
“就是我，”Root 微微一笑说。

“It’s been two months” Shaw said coming into the library and running her finger along one of the bookshelves. She felt Root watching her.
“已经两个月了，”Shaw 说，走进图书馆，用手指在其中一个书架上滑过。她感觉到鲁特在看着她。

“I know” Root said.
“我知道，”鲁特说。

“That’s weird” Shaw said and stopped behind Root’s chair.
“这很奇怪，”Shaw 说着，停在 Root 的椅子后面。

“Does it feel like longer?” Root asked her tipping her head back to look at Shaw.
“感觉像更长的时间吗？”鲁特问她，把头向后仰看着肖。

“Like forever, and two seconds at the same time” Shaw said leaned down to kiss Root’s lips. Root tipped her head back up and turned to look at Shaw.
“就像永远一样，同时两秒钟，”Shaw 说，俯下身来亲吻 Root 的嘴唇。Root 把头仰起来，转身看向 Shaw。

“You’re being abnormally soft” Root said “What happened?”
“你异常柔软，”鲁特说，“发生了什么事？

“Why do you assume something happened?”
“你为什么假设发生了什么事？”

“Because when you’ve had a good day I get thrown against a wall” Root smirked.
“因为当你度过了美好的一天，我就会被扔到墙上，”Root 得意地笑着。

“My day’s been fine” Shaw said and sat on the edge of the table beside Root’s laptop, resting her foot on the chair between Root’s legs. Root looked at Shaw’s foot before looking back at her.
“我今天过得还不错，”Shaw 说着，坐在 Root 笔记本电脑旁边的桌子边缘，将脚放在 Root 两腿之间的椅子上。鲁特看了看肖的脚，然后回头看了看她。

“Are you trying to make fuck me in the break room sound casual?” Root asked lifting an eyebrow “Because we don’t have a break room, but I’m pretty sure Harry won’t be back for at least twenty minutes.”
“你是想让在休息室操我听起来很随意吗？”鲁特挑起眉毛问道，“因为我们没有休息室，但我很确定哈利至少二十分钟后不会回来。

Shaw smirked “Actually not why I’m here.”
Shaw 得意地笑着，“其实不是我为什么来这里。

Root frowned “Well now I’m worried.”
鲁特皱起眉头，“嗯，现在我很担心。

“Really?”
“真的吗？”

“You come in here acting uncharacteristically coy, you kiss me like a feather, put your foot between my legs and you don’t want me to eat you out, or murder someone?”
“你进来的时候一反常态地腼腆，你像亲吻羽毛一样亲吻我，把脚放在我的两腿之间，你不想让我吃掉你，或者杀人？”

“Well when you put it that way” Shaw said with an amused smirk moving her foot off the chair and instead she straddled Root’s lap. It was automatic for Root to put her arms around Shaw’s waist, one finger hooking into the belt loop at the back of Shaw’s jeans.
“嗯，你这么说吧，”Shaw 笑着说，把脚从椅子上移开，反而跨坐在 Root 的腿上。Root 不由自主地搂住 Shaw 的腰，一根手指钩在 Shaw 牛仔裤后面的皮带环上。

“If I ask if you’re okay will you give me an answer and not bite or handcuff me to this chair?” Root asked.
“如果我问你还好吗，你会给我一个答案，而不是把我咬或用手铐铐在这把椅子上吗？”鲁特问道。

“No guarantees” Shaw said leaning her arms over Root’s shoulders.
“不能保证，”Shaw 说，双臂靠在 Root 的肩膀上。

“You’d tell me…right?” Root said quietly and Shaw rolled her eyes.
“你会告诉我......对吧？Root 轻声说，Shaw 翻了个白眼。

“Root, stop” she said “You seem to forget I’m a sociopath…no feelings, usually means I’m okay like all the time”
“Root，停下来，”她说，“你似乎忘记了我是一个反社会者......没有感情，通常意味着我一直都很好”

“I know but,” Root’s eyes ran over Shaw as she swallowed “It’s different with me”
“我知道，但是，”Root 的眼睛扫过 Shaw，她咽了口口水，“我不一样”

“Do you think I’m trying to divorce you or something?” Shaw asked.
“你觉得我是想和你离婚还是别的什么？”Shaw 问道。

“Or ask me out, it’s hard to tell” Root said with a slight smirk creeping onto her face.
“或者约我出去，这很难说，”Root 说，脸上露出一丝得意的笑容。

Shaw rolled her eyes. “Actually there were just a couple of things I wanted to tell you”
Shaw 翻了个白眼。“其实我有几件事想告诉你”

Root suddenly frowned. “Is that why you’re being weird?”
鲁特突然皱起了眉头。“这就是你表现得很奇怪的原因吗？”

“I’m not being weird, Root” Shaw said tucking a strand of Root’s hair behind her ear, Root glanced to the side where Shaw just moved her hair.
“我不是在怪，Root，”Shaw 说着，把 Root 的一缕头发塞到耳后，Root 瞥了一眼 Shaw 刚刚移动头发的一侧。

“Tell me.”
“告诉我。”

Shaw just stared at her.
Shaw 只是盯着她。

“Now, Sam.”
“好了，山姆。”

“Okay” Shaw said lifting her hands on Root’s shoulders in surrender. “When I went to go see Harold that time after you’d come back…you kind of said something as I left”
“好吧，”Shaw 说，举起双手放在 Root 的肩膀上以示投降。“我去看哈罗德的时候，你回来了......我离开时你说了些什么”

Root looked at her curiously.
鲁特好奇地看着她。

“I didn’t know if I should tell you or not, because you were mostly asleep, but I thought it was kinda important” Shaw said with a shrug.
“我不知道我该不该告诉你，因为你大部分时间都睡着了，但我觉得这有点重要，”Shaw 耸耸肩说。

“What?” Root demanded her eyes desperately searching Shaw’s face.
“什么？”鲁特质问道，她的眼睛拼命地寻找着肖的脸。

“You told me you loved me” Shaw said without a single expression showing on her face. Root stared at her in silence. Neither of them moved. They heard Harold come back in downstairs. Shaw still straddling Root’s lap, she didn’t move. Root’s eyes locked on Shaw’s. Finally Root blinked, her face softening.
“你告诉我你爱我，”Shaw 说，脸上没有露出一个表情。鲁特沉默地盯着她。他们都没有动。他们听到哈罗德从楼下回来了。Shaw 仍然跨坐在 Root 的腿上，她没有动。Root 的眼睛盯着 Shaw 的眼睛。最后，Root 眨了眨眼，她的脸色变得柔和了。

“And?” she said quietly.
“然后？”

“Well that’s…” Shaw almost frowned, not knowing what kind of reaction she had originally expected, but she hadn’t assumed it was going to be…this one. “You’ve never said that before.”
“嗯，那是......”Shaw 几乎皱起了眉头，不知道她原本预料到了什么样的反应，但她没想到会是......这个。“你以前从来没有这么说过。”

“But I think it everyday” Root said.
“但我每天都这么想，”鲁特说。

Shaw looked at her. “You do?”
肖看着她。“你愿意吗？”

“I do” Root said and with a smirk lifted her hand up between them, wiggling her finger with the wedding ring on it in Shaw’s face.
“我愿意，”Root 说，得意地笑着在他们之间举起手，在 Shaw 的脸上扭动着戴着结婚戒指的手指。

“Oh” Shaw said.
“哦，”Shaw 说。

“What was the second thing?” Root asked.
“第二件事是什么？”鲁特问道。

Shaw looked at her and smiled a little as she rolled her eyes and glanced up at the ceiling.
Shaw 看着她，微微一笑，她翻了个白眼，抬头看了一眼天花板。

“Um” she said biting her bottom lip to stop her smiling. “I win.”
“嗯，”她说，咬着下唇阻止她的微笑。“我赢了。”

It only took Root a split second to figure out what Shaw was talking about and her eyes suddenly widened, and she reached for her taser that was sitting on the table behind them. Shaw quickly leaned into Root, pressing their bodies together and making it harder for Root to reach the desk with Shaw’s full weight on her. Root growled softly her lips against Shaw’s shoulder, she opened her mouth and bit down hard.
Root 只花了一瞬间就弄清楚了 Shaw 在说什么，她的眼睛突然睁大了，她伸手去拿放在他们身后桌子上的泰瑟枪。Shaw 迅速靠向 Root，将他们的身体压在一起，让 Root 更难够到桌子，因为 Shaw 的全部重量都压在她身上。Root 轻声咆哮着，她的嘴唇贴在 Shaw 的肩膀上，她张开嘴，狠狠地咬了下去。

“Ouch” Shaw practically yelped at Root’s genuinely pissed off bite just as Harold came around the corner and caught sight of them, his eyes widening in shock he quickly tried to look away.
“哎哟”肖几乎对鲁特真正生气的咬了一口大喊大叫，这时哈罗德从拐角处走过来，看到了他们，他震惊地睁大了眼睛，他很快试图把视线移开。

“Root” Shaw said trying to wiggle away and push Root off at the same time.
“Root，”Shaw 说，试图扭动身体，同时把 Root 推开。

“That was not fair Sameen” Root said frowning.
“那不公平，Sameen，”Root 皱着眉头说。

“The point is to distract” Shaw said with a shrug “And you were distracted” Root dug her fingers into Shaw’s thighs, and didn’t stop until Shaw scrunched her nose up in pain.
“关键是分散注意力，”Shaw 耸耸肩说，“而且你分心了。”Root 用手指挖进 Shaw 的大腿，直到 Shaw 痛苦地揉了揉鼻子才停下来。

“You can’t use my ‘I love you’ to distract me, Sam” Root growled “And you touched me.”
“你不能用我的'我爱你'来分散我的注意力，山姆，”鲁特咆哮道，“而且你碰了我。

“The touching rule was broken a long time ago” Shaw reminded her and Root shot her a glare. “Anyway the I love you thing kind of just turned into an I love you too thing.”
“触摸规则很久以前就被打破了，”Shaw 提醒她，Root 瞪了她一眼。“不管怎么说，我爱你这件事就变成了我也爱你的事情。”

Root suddenly froze, her hands resting on Shaw’s thighs as she stared at the woman who was sitting on top of her, in absolute awe.
Root 突然僵住了，她的手放在 Shaw 的大腿上，她盯着坐在她身上的女人，绝对敬畏。

“Sameen…” Root’s voice was nothing more than a breath. Shaw just stared at her, dark eyes, expressionless face, like every muscle was relaxed, her arms still draped over Root’s shoulders, a strand of hair wrapped around one of Shaw’s fingers, unnoticed by Root.
“萨梅恩......”Root 的声音只不过是一口气。Shaw 只是盯着她，漆黑的眼睛，面无表情的脸，仿佛每一块肌肉都放松了，她的手臂仍然搭在 Root 的肩膀上，一缕头发缠在 Shaw 的一根手指上，没有被 Root 注意到。

Root didn’t know what to say, or rather she couldn’t find any words. She wasn’t even sure that what she had just heard had been accurate. But she was positive that Shaw had just said I love you.
鲁特不知道该说什么，或者说她找不到任何词语。她甚至不确定她刚刚听到的是否准确。但她很肯定，Shaw 刚刚说过我爱你。

“Are you still trying to distract me?” Root asked eventually.
“你还想分散我的注意力吗？”鲁特最终问道。

“No.” Shaw said simply. Root’s hand ran up Shaw’s stomach, over her chest, her fingers hooking into the top of Shaw’s tank as she ran her fingers across the fabric.
“不。”Shaw 简单地说。Root 的手顺着 Shaw 的肚子滑过她的胸口，她的手指在布料上滑过时，她的手指钩住了 Shaw 的水箱顶部。

“You know, you don’t have to say it because you think I want to hear it” Root said quietly.
“你知道的，你不必说出来，因为你觉得我想听，”鲁特轻声说。

“I didn’t” Shaw said.
“我没有，”肖说。

“But you…”
“但你......”

“It’s there, somewhere” Shaw said “Even if I can’t feel it, I know it’s probably there.”
“它就在那里，在某个地方，”Shaw 说，“即使我感觉不到  它，我知道它可能就在那里。

“I never thought I’d hear you say that” Root said unable to help the smile on her face.
“我从没想过我会听到你这么说，”Root 说，脸上忍不住露出了笑容。

“Neither” Shaw said.
“都不是，”Shaw 说。

“I never say it because I don’t want to make it uncomfortable” Root said.
“我从不说，因为我不想让它不舒服，”鲁特说。

“Root” Shaw said almost with a sigh “I don’t get uncomfortable.”
“Root，”Shaw 几乎是叹了口气说，“我不会感到不舒服。

“I love you, Sam.” Root said suddenly and Shaw widened her eyes a little.
“我爱你，山姆。”鲁特突然说，肖稍微睁大了眼睛。

“I know” Shaw said and started to stand up “I’m getting off you, but only because Harold is right there.” Shaw said her voice low knowing Harold was just down the corridor at his desk.
“我知道，”Shaw 说着，开始站起来，“我要离开你，但只是因为 Harold 就在那儿。Shaw 低声说，她知道 Harold 就在走廊对面的他的办公桌前。

“You can sit on me forever, sweetie” Root said with a smirk, letting the moment wash over her as she got to her feet after Shaw.
“你可以永远坐在我身上，亲爱的，”Root 得意地笑着说，当她跟着 Shaw 站起来时，这一刻淹没了她。

“Tempting” Shaw said and they walked down towards Harold.
“很诱人，”Shaw 说，他们向 Harold 走去。

“I hope I wasn’t interrupting” Harold almost said with an element of not wanting to actually know in his voice. “You’re bleeding” he said suddenly his eyes fixed on Shaw’s shoulder.
“我希望我没有打断，”哈罗德几乎说出了，他的声音里带着一丝不想真正知道的成分。“你在流血，”他突然说，眼睛盯着 Shaw 的肩膀。

Shaw reached up to her shoulder, her fingers touching the blood where Root’s teeth had torn her flesh.
Shaw 把手伸到她的肩膀上，她的手指触碰到 Root 的牙齿撕裂她肉体的血迹。

“You vampire” Shaw said to Root whilst inspecting the blood on her fingers.
“你这个吸血鬼，”Shaw 一边检查着她手指上的血，一边对 Root 说。

“You’re fine” Root said folding her arms. Shaw just glared at her and wiped a bloodied finger across Root’s cheek childishly. Root slapped Shaw’s hand away and quickly tried to wipe the blood away.
“你没事，”Root 抱着双臂说。Shaw 只是瞪着她，然后孩子气地用一根沾满血迹的手指在 Root 的脸颊上擦了擦。鲁特一巴掌拍开了肖的手，并迅速试图擦去血迹。

“So everything’s going well?” Harold asked looking between them both “Your marriage is…flourishing?”
“所以一切都顺利吗？”哈罗德问道，看着他们俩，“你们的婚姻是......繁荣吗？

“Like the plague” Shaw said with a smirk.
“就像瘟疫一样，”Shaw 得意地笑着说。

“She just told me she loves me” Root said with a mischievous twinkle in her eye.
“她刚刚告诉我她爱我，”Root 说，眼中闪烁着调皮的光芒。

“She what?” Harold looked shocked. Shaw rolled her eyes.
“她什么？”哈罗德看起来很震惊。Shaw 翻了个白眼。

“That’s my cue.” Shaw said.
“这就是我的提示。”“Shaw 说。

“No it’s not” Root said and grabbed her arm so she couldn’t leave. Shaw looked at Root then over at Harold.
“不，不是的，”Root 说着，抓住了她的胳膊，这样她就不能离开了。Shaw 看了看 Root，然后又看了看 Harold。

“This is what my life has become, Harold” Shaw said and Harold almost smiled. “I would choke her, but she’d enjoy it too much.”
“这就是我的生活变成了什么样子，哈罗德，”肖说，哈罗德几乎要笑了。“我会掐住她的脖子，但她太享受了。”

The smile left Harold’s face almost instantly at the comment, and Root just dug her nails into Shaw’s skin.
听到这句话，Harold 的脸上几乎立刻就露出了笑容，Root 只是用指甲挖了 Shaw 的皮肤。

“Well I’m sure there’s a more diplomatic way…” Harold began but then his voice trailed off as he realised he was talking to a sociopath and a perky psycho.  “Never mind.” he muttered getting up.
“嗯，我确定还有一种更外交的方式......”哈罗德开始说话，但随后他的声音变小了，因为他意识到自己在和一个反社会者和一个活泼的精神病患者交谈。  “没关系。”他咕哝着站起来。

“So it came to my attention” he said opening the cupboard to retrieve something “That I never got you a wedding gift.”
“所以引起了我的注意，”他说，打开橱柜拿出什么东西，“我从来没有给你送过结婚礼物。

Root automatically let go of Shaw as Harold pulled a perfectly wrapped white box out from the cupboard and put it on his desk.
当哈罗德从橱柜里拿出一个包装完好的白色盒子放在他的桌子上时，鲁特自动放开了肖。

“Oh god” Shaw mumbled as Root’s eyes lit up with excitement.
“哦，上帝，”Shaw 喃喃自语，Root 的眼睛里闪耀着兴奋的光芒。

“You didn’t have to, Harry!” Root said already stepping forward to claim the box picking it up and gasping “Oh it’s heavy!”
“你不必这样做，哈利！”鲁特说着，已经走上前去拿起盒子，捡起它，喘着粗气，“哦，它好重！

“Maybe it’s weights, so I can drown you” Shaw smirked and Root just grinned.
“也许是重量，这样我就可以淹死你”Shaw 得意地笑着，Root 只是咧嘴一笑。

“Maybe it’s a book of all the things you secretly care about” Root said and Shaw frowned. “Oh wait, it would only have one page, and my name would be on it.”
“也许这是一本你暗中关心的所有事情的书，”Root 说，Shaw 皱起眉头。“哦，等等，它只有一页，我的名字就会在上面。”

“Is it a wife silencer, Harold?” Shaw asked.
“是老婆消音器吗，哈罗德？”Shaw 问道。

“Mm that would be handy” Root agreed, and Shaw just rolled her eyes. “It’s hard work living with a little shit.”
“嗯，那会很方便”Root 同意，而 Shaw 只是翻了个白眼。“生活在一点狗屎里是很辛苦的。”
