Fics like eyes full of stars

He’s lost in wondering whether it’d be appropriate or not to ask her where exactly the sonuva bitch lives, and what barracks he’s camped in, that he doesn’t realize she’s speaking until a moment later. Until the words: “I can’t pay, but I can—I do have—I can do something else.” And then the world comes crashing down between them, blood rushing in his ears as he stares, understanding and yet unwilling to reckon with, the reality of what she’s offering. Can tell by the flush on her cheeks and the way that she’s trying not to squirm in her seat that this isn’t exactly her go-to method of payment, that it’s taking a not inconsiderable amount of courage for her to stay where she’s sitting. It’s that fact alone that keeps him from spluttering and showing her the way out. She takes his silence as compliance, it seems, because she’s scooting a little closer in her seat, honeyed eyes fixed on him as though he holds the key to her salvation. “Please. I really need my car; I need this job to work out, and I can’t do it without a vehicle.” or, Alina's new in town, and Aleksander's Smitten.
