Unedited :)

After their date, James dropped Genevieve home and made sure she got in safe before heading to his apartment. In an attempt to be a gentleman he decided not to stay over, despite the fact he already had... but he regretted it as soon as she was out of his sight.
He couldn't wipe the smile from his face as he drove back to his apartment. The more time he spent with her, the more he realised that Genevieve could be his old lady. He never thought he'd get one, not after the accident. But with her he could be himself.

Completely lost in thought, James didn't see the blacked out SUV that had been following him all night. Only clocking it when the bonnet hit his back wheel causing his bike to skid slightly across the tarmac of the highway.
"Shit!" He exclaimed trying desperately to regain control of his Harley. The van hit him again and the next thing he knew he was skidding across the road and hitting against the side barrier, watching the van quickly drive off.

With his good leg trapped under the biting heavy metal of his bike, he couldn't manage to pull himself up, the shock inhibiting his movements. He was able to reach into his zipped jacket pocket and take out his phone and it's now cracked screen, quickly dialling a number.

"Cha, I need help. Some fucker in a blacked out van has just ran me off the road." He said exhausted before passing out from the pain.

It wasn't until three in the morning that Genevieve was woken up by her phone ringing loudly on her bedside table. Confused she answered, without looking at the caller ID.
"Gen, It's Lennox. I've just got back to the club from the doc...with Jamie."

"Quoi?!" She exclaimed more to herself than others. "What happened to him? Is he alright? I only saw him a couple hours ago"

"He was ran off the road on his way home from your apartment. But he's okay, a bit of road rash and a broken wrist but okay. He's out of it on painkillers but I just wanted to let you know."

Without even thinking she got out of bed, thanking Lennox and then hanging up. Throwing on a pair of grey sweatpants and a cropped T-shirt, grabbing Loki and his leash before heading out the door and into Seattle's pouring rain.

It took them about half an hour to approach the gates of the club before Finn saw her and let her straight in. Lennox and Chaos greeted her immediately, taking her soaking jacket and Loki's leash before leading her to his room. She knocked gently and upon hearing his gruff voice she entered slowly. He sat on the edge of his bed raking a hand through his hair as he looked up the her and saw the tears in her eyes and the rain soaking her hair. As soon as she saw him she couldn't help the tears which fell as her eyes met the bruises and bandages which covered his tanned skin.

"How... why? What happened?" She asked in complete shock as she walked closer too him and sat on the floor before him, placed her hands delicately on his thighs. He leaned forward carefully, his hand in her hair cupping the back of her neck and placing a gentle kiss on her forehead.
"Some idiots ran me off the road. But I'll be fine Sweets. Just a bit of scraped skin and some broken prosthetic, I've handled worse."

She couldn't help but to cry for him, feeling at blame for his injuries. If she had of just told him to stay over... or even just kissed him for a second longer it might not have happened.
"I'm sorry" she whispered into the cool air which surrounded them.
"There's nothing to be sorry for Sweets. Unless you were the one in the van this isn't on you."

"But I've been in you're shoes. I know how it feels. How helpless you feel. I don't want that for anyone." He was confused by his words but nonetheless he told her to take off his shoes and climb in next to him.
"Can I get Loki?" She asked while still holding his hands. "He's outside with Lennox"

"Of course." He smiled before letting her go get her fluffy companion. Loki immediately came bounding towards him and licked his hand before he settled in-front of his bed.
"Now come on. Let's get some sleep"

He watched her breathing level out as the exhaustion of their day overcame her. He couldn't help but think over her words from earlier. She had been in a car accident before? Is that how she lost her sight? He couldn't stop the questions which filled his head as he pulled her closer to his chest. The feeling of her calming his shot nerves immediately as he let sleep finally take over.

The following morning, Genevieve woke up and couldn't help but smile at the sight before her. In front lay a snoring Loki, back to the mattress and legs in the air. And behind her lay a sleeping Thor with his arms wrapped around her waist and his head on top of hers.
This right here was her idea of perfection. The surprisingly peaceful atmosphere of the club complimented their moment together. Despite the emptiness of James's old room it still felt cosy and romantic with its draping curtains and dark colours.

James stirred behind her placing a soft kiss on the back of the neck and tightening his thick arms around her small frame.
"God Morgon" he said huskily, his sleepy voice making her giggle.
"Good Morning James. You know you're going to have to teach me some Swedish."
"That can be arranged in exchange for some French tuition" he said cheekily.
"Well I am an excellent teacher" she turned to face him with mischief behind her eyes.
"Always so humble".

They spent a while between the sheets, laughing and touching. His lips couldn't seem to leave hers alone but neither of them were complaining. Their hunger soon motivated them to get up and dressed. James threw on a pair of long shorts after grabbing his crutches and making his way to the closet which housed his spare leg. The damage done to his other one during the crash wasn't anything too bad, but he knew it would be uncomfortable to walk on.

They headed hand in hand, closely followed by Loki down into the Kitchen where they were greeted by Ink and Jury making breakfast. He told her to sit down as he set out to make something for the both of them to eat.
However there morning was cut short by Chaos coming into the kitchen.
"Church in ten. We've got eyes on the van that hit you."





Things are heating up and they will only be getting hotter.
