whiteknightswan:jetgirl78:jetgirl78:“And then her way of sort of controlling Shaw is to flirt with her because she knows that Shaw hates it. But then I don’t know, it seems like at some point she actually started really maybe liking her more…”#whenever i think of this amy quote #i think of this moment #because the flirty line is designed to make shaw uncomfortable #and root knows exactly what is doing #and she knows shaw will be annoyed #but it is the follow up gaze by root that gets me #the look of genuine affection #when she has no reason to give that look #and the little sigh and head toss as shaw walks away #aggressive heart eyes#you know what I want this season? I want Shaw being targted by Samaritan#and ending up in the middle of a firefight or an ambush#i want her to drop every last one of those fuckers and walk away#but she’s wounded#she makes it to a safehouse and tries to stop the bleeding but she’s losing too much blood#and she can’t stitch everything#and then she hears familiar steps and there is Root asking in that pouty annoyed voice#’tsk tsk you shouldn’t have tried to start without me’ except Root’s looking at her#and her voice cracks a little and the smirk she tries to paint on her lips doesn’t take#and Root’s fingers are steady steady steady until she’s wrapping the last of the bandages#around Shaw’s shoulder and then they’re shaking and she won’t meet Shaw’s eyes#and that’s when Sameen speaks for the first time all night. ‘Hey’ its rough and tired but it makes Root look up#’thank you.’ thats all she says but its raw and honest and it makes Root smile and her hands#are a little steadier when she finishes and then helps Shaw into bed#but as she’s about to get up and walk out Shaw opens her mouth to say something#what she has no idea and will never admit to it anyway but it hardly matters the words are stuck#and she’s just frozen for a second but its okay because this is Root so she just smiles#and says ‘don’t worry im not letting you out of my sight just yet. Get some sleep Sameen’#and Shaw puts her head back on the pillow and does just that (via: racethewind10) -- source link
