Dom swore he saw Trinity start to blush as she turned towards her weaponry and started to answer. It sounded like the session had gone fine so he was unsure what could make her embarrassed enough to blush. What he did know was that her enthusiasm for talking with the doctor didn’t not make Dom any more interested in going to see him.

Sure, he hadn’t asked Trinity about any of their missions. But Dom found it hard to believe the doctor wouldn’t bring up anything he didn’t want to talk about. Whether it was his ever so popular siblings, or almost dying just a few weeks ago, there wasn’t anything Dom wanted to talk about with the doctor. If he really needed support, Trinity and Angel were always there. ”If he’s not asking about missions, then what’s the point? I have you to talk about other things with, and the team.” Dom grumbled, folding his arms over his chest.

Once Trinity looked at him, she immediately covered her eyes and Dom cocked his head curiously. ”Hard to think? What do you- oh, right, uh,” Dom’s face flushed a little pink as he realized he hadn’t changed before Trinity got back. They were still a new couple, but the thoughts that followed remembering he was only in a towel were enough for Dom’s face to heat up more. He never blushed in front of the team, aside from the beginning of their time together when they failed on their first day. But that was also for a totally different reason than now. ”I can get dressed now,” Dom adds, though his voice is only at half the confidence it usually was.

Hidden behind the flush of being new to those kinds of thoughts was a curiosity. Would Trinity want to take their relationship farther in that way? There was really only one way to find out. ”... if you want me to.”

Sapphire was fast asleep when Ruby finally came into the room and gently woke her up. Ruby was in her uniform, so she must have been called out while Sapphire was getting the news about the therapist. Her eyes were already asking for forgiveness before she spoke. ”You usually don’t nap during the day unless you’re injured or upset about something,” Ruby noted, brushing Sapphire’s hair back before starting to take her uniform off. Sapphire’s eyes immediately locked on the bare skin suddenly revealed and tried not to let it distract her. ”The agents want us to talk to this civilian therapist for our psych evaluations. Malillos said that they wouldn’t approve us for missions until we talked with him,” Sapphire grumbled, sitting up in the bed and trying not to watch Ruby undress so blatantly. They were girlfriends but she still felt unsure about a lot of things.

”Well, none of them are licensed therapists. It could be good for you, Gem,” Ruby attempted to be positive, but Sapphire just glared in her direction. It was hard to be positive when she knew what he was going to bring up. It probably wouldn’t be the first session, but he would bring it up. ”I talk to enough people about my issues, thank you. I don’t need a stranger telling me what’s wrong with me. Like I don’t already know,” Sapphire responded. She didn’t want to argue with Ruby, but their argument earlier had ruined her mood and she wasn’t feeling any better. Ruby seemed to notice this, as she opened her mouth to speak and then promptly shut it. ”Fine. Why don’t we do something to take your mind off of it, then?”
