When Marcus left the shower to get dressed, he thanked Shay with a nod as he took the towel from her. He dried off without a word and began to put his clothes back on. He glanced at Shay once she turned back to him. He assumed that she was going to teasingly ask if he needed help, but he was quite surprised when she walked up right in front of him, her face only inches away from his. His eyes were wide as he stared into hers. He could only imagine what she was thinking as she neared him, and he made no effort to move away from her. 

He didn't move at all as her hands move up his chest and around his neck. He understood what she was doing, and he wasn't going to deny her. He believed that he understood her actions. In the world that they were in, it was more than possible that they could die whenever, and with the threat of the dead, as well as several unknown people within their walls, the chances of dying were much higher than before. They had to enjoy today while it lasted, as they might not be able to see tomorrow.

When she placed his lips onto his, Marcus moved his arm to hold her close to him, and he wished that he had his other arm at the moment to be able to fully hold her. Of course he could just use his metal arm, but he knew that it wouldn't be anywhere near how it would be it it was his actual arm instead. Still, he held her as best as he could and pushed into the kiss, wanting to enjoy it while it lasted.

After a moment, the man pulled away from Shay and looked at her without a word. He had a small smile on his face that spoke more than words could at the moment. Despite that, he wanted to say something to her, wanting to show her that she really meant something to him. He didn't know what to say, though, and had to think about it in silence for a moment. "I'm so happy that you're okay... Sun told me what happened and I wanted to see you as soon as I could.." He tightened his hold around her for a moment before loosening and turning into more of a hug than a hold. "I'm so happy you're here..."
