 tag: Faye BatesThe one small word 'good' was enough for them. It confirmed something each of them already knew. They wanted each other and no matter how short they had known each other, there was something there. Hadley knew that they were already on borrowed time. Whatever was happening between them shouldn't have even happened in the first place. His people shouldn't have taken in hers...but here they were and whatever time they did have, he didn't want to waste. Because he knew one day this would have to end.
A chill ran down his spine at her groan. Another sound he could add to the list of favorites. Feeling her move her legs to make room for him, he settled himself gently between them. As her arms tightened around his neck, he kept his arms on the side of her body, holding his weight off of her. Keeping his lips on her skin, he trailed his kisses to her jaw then her neck. He brought his lips back to hers and brought one of his hands back down her side to the hem of her shirt playing with it gently. He ran his hand over her bare skin just beneath her shirt and slowed his kisses running his tongue over her lips asking for an invitation... |

tag: Faye BatesHadley felt her arms wrap around his neck. He helped lift her body a bit, sitting himself up slowly, letting her sit in his lap, never letting his lips leave hers. Hearing the groan leave her lips, he felt sometime turn on inside of him. Granted she had him turned on quite a bit already, but that sound was only making it more apparent. Feeling her pull away and rest her forehead against his, he opened his eyes to meet hers. Her words brought a sweet smirk to his face. "You don't have to worry about me Faye..." He tucked a stray piece of hair behind her ear and searched her eyes with his. "Whatever this is..whatever we are..I want it.." He kissed her cheek, then the corner of her lips. "I want you..." he said barely above a whisper, as his lips met hers again.
He had been with women before. But nothing had ever connected as fast as it did with Faye. He was shy around many people, especially women, but when he wanted something he knew it and he would make it clear. Something about his connection with Faye was overpowering...but in the best way possible. He knew that what they had was something he'd never experience with another woman. It would be heartbreaking when their time came, but right now this was all that felt right and all that mattered.
Holding her around her waist, he laid her back down on the bed, resting under him, his lips still attached to hers. He ran his hand up and down her side again and gently sucked on her bottom lip. His addiction was strong and it wasn't one that he was ready to end. |

tag: Faye BatesHadley stroked her cheek gently as she spoke. He smiled at her not wanting to leave his bed or him. He knew how hard that had to be for her to say. It meant the world to him. But her next words hit him hard. She was right and he knew it too. They had to part ways eventually. When that time would come, neither of them could be sure. But it would come...some time. However, Faye was right. Why waste the time they did have worrying about it?
He kissed her lips again. "As far as I'm concerned, any time we have is yours..." He said softly and kissed her again, not wanting to pull away this time...so he didn't. He fully intended to spend as much time as he could with her. They only had limited time left before something was to happen. Either she would leave or escape...and he'd be here in the Mountain. He didn't want to think about that day, but he knew that it was coming. And although the thought scared him, he had to take advantage of any time they were granted now.
Continuing the kiss, he ran his hand down her side to her waist and squeezed it gently, the other arm supporting him slightly above her. He wasn't sure where they were headed now, he didn't want her to feel pressured into anything, but her lips were addictive and he wanted to get as much of his addiction as he could while he could. |

tag: Faye BatesYou. The one word was enough to make him smile. And honestly had she said it and looked into his eyes he would have probably blushed considering how much he already had today. He smiled against her skin, and leaned up, gently turning her body so it was under his. "What about me?" He asked with a laugh and leaned down to kiss her lips and then her neck again before laying next to her again, resting his head on his hand looking down at her.
Hadley would gladly be the focus of her thoughts for a while if it took her mind off of what happened to her in the hours prior. Granted he'd love to be the focus of her thoughts when she wasn't recovering from a horrific day. But if it helped her recover, he had no problem with it. But he also knew that the two of them, and these feelings, were becoming more apparent. It had been building since the day they had met. The constant meetings in the library only solidified something for them. They had everything and nothing in common. They were night and day and yet something about them clicked. And maybe that's why he liked her.
And 'like' was a weak word for what Hadley was feeling. He felt so deeply connected to Faye that he was scared of what would happen when it came time for her to leave. Not so much leave his apartment, but leave the Mountain all together. He knew that even if she wanted to stay here, she couldn't. But the fact that she was adamant about leaving to save her friends, as much as it broke his heart, he admired it. He knew she was doing what was best..and that unfortunately meant that their 'relationship' had to be pushed aside. |

tag: Faye BatesHadley was glad that she wanted to be there...not only with him, but in his bed. The thought alone was enough to make him smile. But it was something he would keep in mind. He wasn't quite sure where this was going with the two of them, but he liked the path they were on so far. Taking a deep breath, he let his own tea warm up, and took a sip leaning against the kitchen counter. He knew that just through that door was a beautiful woman in his bed, waiting for him. And he wasn't afraid...he was excited. He liked what he felt when he was around her. It was new for him..and he didn't want the feeling to stop.
Taking another sip of his tea, he made his way back to his bedroom. Smiling, when he saw her cuddled up facing the door, he went to the other side of the bed and put his tea down, crawling in behind her. Draping his arm over her waist, he kissed her neck gently. He could feel her pulse under his lips. Running his hand up and down her arm and back to her waist over and over, he smiled against her skin. She was coming down from her drugs. Her heart beat was coming back to normal. That was good.
Placing another gentle kiss against her pulse, he spoke. "What are you thinking about?" He whispered against her skin. |

tag: Faye BatesHadley heard the amusement in her voice and hid his face in his hands blushing as a soft chuckle let his lips. He looked back over at her and smiled. "Trust me...I am not at all upset about you being in my bed right now." He traced another pattern over her hand as he spoke. "But starting the night this way was definitely not in my game plan." He chuckled again.
At her mention of alcohol being sparse on the Ark, as well as tea, he nodded. It made sense. Rationing plus what was worth keeping around and what wasn't. But then he remembered what her father had said about her being drugged...the alcohol very well could interact with whatever they injected into her. He hadn't thought of that. He wasn't a doctor, but he knew that much not to mix it. "Let's start with some tea...I want to make sure that whatever they gave you wears off...Tea should help."He smiled and went to push himself up out of bed.
He stopped in his tracks at her next words about his trying to sleep with her. He turned to face her, another blush apparent on his face. When she said she was messing with him, he let out a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding and laughed again. As her lips met his, he kissed her back. "You are something else Miss Faye..." He whispered against her lips. "And my bed is always open if it's a place you want to be...." He added on as he pulled away to go grab tea. He winked at her and made his way to the kitchen.
He warmed some water and dug through his pantry for the tea and a mug. Setting it all up, he carried the tea back to his bedroom. Carefully placing it on the nightstand, he sat on the edge of the bed by her, running his fingers over one of her arms. "I'm going to go make some for myself....I'll be right back..." He said with a smile as he pushed himself up off the bed again, leaving her for a moment.

tag: Faye BatesHadley smiled at her response. He was glad she was feeling better, but he was even happier that he was making her happy. Having her in his arms was certainly making him happy that was for sure. As he felt her lips on his jaw and then his own lips again, he smiled against her lips and kissed her back, wrapping his arms around her waist securely. He turned his body towards hers and continued the kiss.
He wasn't sure what was to become of them. But whatever was happening right now was more than okay with him. He was so content having her there with him. It wasn't every day that he had a woman in his bed. He wasn't exactly an expert on women. But with Faye it seemed easy to let down his guard and let her in. He could tell she was breaking down her walls too. And he was okay with that.
Pulling back from the kiss, he tucked another piece of hair behind her ear and smiled. "I wish we could have done this on different circumstances..." He looked down at her. "Like a date....or anything other than what happened today." He chuckled a bit. "But it isn't too late to turn this around....if you wanted that is?" He asked timidly. "I have wine or tea if that's more your thing and movies and well this" He gestured around to his room and laughed again. "We can at least make something out of you being stuck here." He offered it to her. If she wanted to turn this into something positive, he would be more than willing to make it worth her while. |

tag: Faye BatesHadley smiled and practically melted at her laugh. "Laugh all you want...I think you're gorgeous." He chuckled along with her. Anything to hear her laugh. He would fall down a flight a stairs to hear the sound. But when her eyes looked up at his, he felt his breath catch in his throat. Her eyes seemed to be boring into his. At her response, he smiled. At least she wasn't a one and done kind of kisser. That would have been quite an embarrassing moment for him. Though he had already been embarrassing in front of her. It wouldn't have been anything new.
But now with her permission, he gently held her waist with one hand and her cheek with the other. Leaning down he pressed his lips against hers in a soft kiss. He wasn't sure how long they stayed in that embrace but when he pulled back he was afraid to open his eyes thinking the whole thing had been a dream. Opening his eyes he smiled seeing Faye there. Knowing this was real. This beautiful woman was in his arms and safe. She wasn't only in his arms, she was in his bed. Nothing about this situation was normal for Hadley, but with Faye it seemed more than okay.
"How are you feeling?" He asked, his lips still brushing over hers gently. He didn't want this feeling to go away but he knew that sooner or later it would. But for as long as he could, he would hold onto her. She was worth holding on to. |

tag: Faye BatesHadley was happy to hear that she did in fact trust him. He did care for her. And the mere thought of her being unsafe or hurt was enough to make him mad. But she had to know that he was doing everything he possibly could to make her safe. He wished he could do it for all of the delinquents but he knew that was near impossible. He was already risking too much just protecting her. His father could only save so many. Faye only made it out because his father recognized her. The others? They weren't as lucky.
Seeing her face break out into a smile, he himself smiled back. She was so pretty without even trying. He was falling for her more and more by the minute. Suddenly he felt her lips on his. He closed his eyes for the moment that the kiss lasted. He barely had time to kiss her back before her lips were gone. He felt a blush rise to his cheeks and saw her look away. He chuckled softly. At her thanks, he smiled and cupped her cheek again gently. "You're welcome Faye..." He whispered and kissed her forehead.
Pulling back almost as quickly as she did, he looked down into her eyes. "You're beautiful..." He said gently and searched her eyes with his. "Absolutely beautiful." He snaked an arm around her waist and turned to face her. "Would you be opposed if I kissed you this time?" He smirked innocently and kept his eyes on her. He knew she was weak but he wanted to feel her lips again. He wanted to just feel her in his arms. Knowing she was safe was all he needed. |

tag: Faye BatesHadley chuckled at her response. He knew that being hidden and weak had to be hard for her. He had found her strong personality appealing and quite attractive. But he knew this was hard. "You can stay here until my father figures out a way to deter the search for you. He's already started trying to find a way to get them off your trail. But you can't be running around the Mountain. They'll find you again. Let him figure out how to deal with your medical records. We'll make sure you're safe. But you have to trust us." He said continuing the patterns on her hand.
He heard her whisper the words and he sighed. "I know...I'm sorry..sorry that my people aren't better people. That they're okay with hurting their own kind. I'm sorry that you're not safe here..I wish you were.." He whispered back. "You know I'd never hurt you right?" He said sitting up and looking down into her eyes. "Never..." He ran his thumb over her cheek again.
He would never quite know what exactly it was about Faye, but he was captivated by her. She was nothing like the woman here. She wasn't afraid of anyone or anything despite what she had been through. He was in awe of her even so weak as she was now. But he would continue to protect her in any way that he could. |

tag: Faye BatesHadley shook his head. "I'm not letting you go back out there. Who knows what they'll do to you if they find out you've escaped. I'll be okay...My father is high enough to protect me...but I can't let you get hurt." He said fearing that anything bad could happen to her at any moment. She was not leaving his apartment if he could help it. Not until he knew things were safe.
When she told him to stop apologizing and she started to blame herself. He looked up at her. "This isn't your fault Faye...it's not any of your fault...you or the other kids. This is all their fault. They took you. They made you weak. This isn't your fault. I promise." He looked down at her hands when she grabbed his. As she weakly sat up, he pushed himself to sit next to her and let her rest on him. "You're still weak...." He whispered against her hair.
The site of Faye so broken really made him angry. How could they take someone against their will and hurt them like this? She hadn't even been under treatment. Imagine if she had, he'd be red hot with rage. But thankfully his father got to him in time. "Do you need anything?" He whispered, tracing patterns on her hand that he held in his own. |

tag: Faye BatesHadley wasn't sure how long he had been asleep. But when he heard her whimper and felt someone shake him awake, he woke right up. His eyes opened and he saw her. His name on her lips was the most beautiful noise next to her laugh. She was awake...she was moving. "Faye?" He asked softly and sat up. "You're okay..." He whispered more to assure himself than her really. He wasn't sure she was going to wake up so soon. But she did.
He placed his hand on her cheek gently. "Hi.." He said softly and smiled down at her. "You're in my apartment...I-I hope that's okay." He said keeping his eyes on her. "It was the only safe place to take you...they...they will come looking for you eventually." He wasn't going to let anything happen to her. "I'm so sorry Faye...so sorry that I even let them take you." He whispered.
Hadley knew there was nothing he could do. It wasn't like he could have kept her by his side every minute of every day, but he said he was going to protect her and he shouldn't have let her get as far as medical drugged up and almost tortured. That was the last thing he wanted for her. "I'm so sorry." He said again looking down away from her. He hated the feeling of having hurt her. |

tag: Faye Bates Dr. Bradford Edwards walked around his medical wing adjusting medications as he went. Each patient was recovering from the treatments happening on Level 2. Bradford wasn't proud of what was happening. Hence why he chose to stay on the recovery end. He didn't want anything to do with the actual process. It was torture..and inflicting pain on anyone was not something he was in the business of doing. But he couldn't object to treatments completely. He would lose his job. So as a compromise, he works in recovery.
Seeing a patient low on morphine, he knew he'd have to head down to level 2 to get some more. Letting his team know he'd be back, he left Level 3 and headed up to 2. He walked into the wing, using his badge to gain access and spoke to some of the doctors as he perused the medicinal cabinets. He passed some patients and tried not to look them in the eyes. He was horrified with what was happening to these poor children but he had no control to stop it really.
But then he stopped dead in his tracks. He recognized one of them. She was a friend of his son's. Faye...that was her name. He knew it had to be her. She was drugged beyond belief that much he could tell. He had to find a way to get her out of Level 2 before she went under treatment. He turned to some of the other doctors, they weren't paying much attention. He walked over to her bed and grabbed her chart, writing in some information about treatment. False documentation could get him fired, but no one ever had to know it was him.
Taking her chart with him, he walked back to the group of docs who hadn't even seen him walk away. "That one over there...the girl. She's been under treatment already. I'm going to take her down to my floor....see if we can recover her for another round." He said trying to sound as inconspicuous as possible. They all nodded and went back to conversation, no problems at all.
Taking a deep breath realizing they believed him, he went back to her bed and unlocked the breaks wheeling her to the elevator and back down to 3. He let out a breath he didn't realize he had been holding once he got her safely back to his wing. He parked her bed in the corner away from the other patients. He tucked a piece of hair behind her ear and squeezed her hand gently. "I am so sorry Faye." He whispered. He turned to one of his team. "My son. He works in the elementary classroom. Tell him it's an emergency." The man ran before Bradford could get anything else in.
~~~~~~Hadley~~~~~~~Hadley laughed as one of his students told a joke for their daily show and tell. He looked up when a man, one of his dad's team, ran through the door. "Your father...he says it's an emergency. His wing." The man was out of breath. Hadley had no idea what it could be but it had to be bad if his dad had someone interrupt his class. He excused himself from his kids, having them draw while he had another teacher look in on them.
Running to the elevator, he took the lift to the 3rd floor before finding his father on the wing. "Dad...what's up?" He asked looking around frantically. And then he saw it. He saw her. Her blonde hair sprawled over the pillow, her body looking weak. He ran to the bed and grabbed her hand. "Faye!" He whispered frantically touching her cheek gently. "Oh Faye...how?" He turned to his father angrily. "How did this happen?" Bradford shook his head. "I got to her before they did...she's just drugged....morhpine I think. She should come down soon. But you have to get her out of medical before they find her. Take her to your apartment and lock the doors. Don't let anyone in until I know this has passed." Hadley nodded his head.
Standing up, he wrapped his arms under Faye's neck and knees before drawing her close to his chest. He nodded once to his father and made his way to the lifts again and down to level 6. He had to get her safe before anyone saw him with a body. Finally inside his apartment, doors locked, he carefully placed her on his bed. Looking down at the frail and beautiful girl before him he couldn't believe this had happened. He said he would keep her safe and she had almost been taken. He tucked a piece of hair behind her ear and stroked her cheek gently. "I'm so sorry Faye" He whispered and kissed her cheek softly.
Pulling the blankets up over her small body, he went to the kitchen to grab her some water in case she woke up. But he wasn't sure when that would be. Coming back, he laid next to her waiting for her to wake...but soon he too fell asleep, his arm over her waist protecting her from anything else that might come their way. |

tag: Faye Bates Hadley smiled to himself when Faye joined him on the table. It settled his nerves to know that she was getting more comfortable around him. She was something different to him and he wanted to spend time with her. The more time with her the better. She was beautiful and strong...he was shy and timid and yet around her he didn't feel that way. Around Faye, Hadley felt unafraid and he would gladly keep feeling that way.
He turned and watched her read, seeing the small smile break out on her face made him smile. She was so interesting to watch. The way her eyes flickered over the pages, the excitement in her eyes when she read something she hadn't seen before. If the library brought that out in her, he'd take her here time and time again. It was all worth it to see her like this.
Turning back to his own book, he turned the pages as he continued to read, happy with the day and nervous yet excited to see where this new friendship would lead. Because so far...he was more than content with the road they were taking. ~~~Finished~~~~ |

tag: Faye Bates
Hadley smiled when she laughed at him. It was a pleasant sound. He liked it...and he wouldn't mind hearing it over and over again. He wouldn't mind anything about Faye really. Everything she had told him so far or spoken about had only had him more interested in her. She was something different and certainly someone different than those he had experienced in the Mountain. He knew 1984 was probably a difficult story for her. He was practically living the tale...
He listened about her favorite, Cinderella and smiled. She was quirky like him. Liking the idea of the strangeness that is Grimm. It was weird...the stories that is. There is no happy ending. For any of them. He wasn't ever sure why he liked them, but knowing that Faye liked them too, made it okay by him.
And then he heard the sound again. Her laugh.
Hadley lifted his eyes to her and watched as she spoke about true love. He chuckled softly. She was right. "I mean happy endings aren't really endings. You're right in a way as they are beginnings...but that doesn't mean that the happy beginning can't lead to more happiness." He sat down on one of the tables. "Everyone deserves that happiness...even the Grimm fairy tale princesses. Thank goodness for Disney." He winked at her and thumbed through the Grimm tale again. |
