Summary
“What exactly is the game here, Sweetheart?” Cooper asks when the kiss breaks again, his tone low. Gruff. Thick with the desire he’s been ignoring for so long. It’s not fair how easily she brings it to the surface.
“It feels like we’ve already been playing a game this whole time.” Her nose brushes against the cavity where his used to be. “I like to think this is how we can both win.”
“I ain’t a prize.”
Lucy grins at him because she understands. Because she knows him well enough by now to know it’s a joke. A tease. “Well, I apologise for objectifying you.”

AKA, lucy causes a scene at a bar and it pisses cooper off, but when he tries to put her in her place she has other ideas in mind and decides to take a chance on so-called game...except it's not a game to cooper and neither of them are prepared to call the other's bluff

Summary
“That was my plan, but…” He lets out a heavy sigh. “Well, I know this place and it ain’t necessarily fond o’ lettin’ humans in."
“Based on how ghouls are treated, I can’t say I blame them.”
He gives her a onceover. She looks as if she’s about to keel over. “I believe they do make certain…exceptions.”
“Yeah? You mean like the fact that since we’re traveling companions, they’ll be considerate enough to allow me in?”
“Not exactly.” He clicks his tongue. “Might have to put ya back on a leash.”
Her sleep-deprived eyes widen a bit. “Oh…” she breathes upon realisation. “That kind of companion.”
~~~~
AKA, after an embarrassing night for lucy leaves her sleep-deprived, cooper and lucy stop at a ghoul-run town for a couple days and discover some unanticipated desires about themselves...and they eventually dare to indulge

Summary
“Look at me,” He turned face towards her, the fire casting a soft orange glow on his withered features. His gaze was intense but strangely gentle at the same time. “Do you know what’s the most useful thing about lyin’?”
Lucy was taken aback by the intensity in his eyes, but her curiosity prevailed. She shook her head 'no', her own eyes locked on his.
“Keeping yourself safe,” He held her gaze for a long moment before continuing. "The key is to believe your lie, honey. You got to invest in it, make it real. You sell it to the person across from you, you’re golden. But if you don’t believe what you’re selling, they'll smell bullshit before you open your pretty mouth."
She hums, “I see.”
"You do, huh?" He smirked, amused by her, "Let's try a little experiment. Tell me a lie, Lucy."

Summary
“What’s on yer mind, Vaultie?”
She remains silent for a while. Eventually, she tilts her head. “You…tried protecting me.” His eyes narrow. “Sorry. I know it’s stupid, but I—” She starts laughing, shaking her head. “Forget it.”
No. He doesn’t want to forget it. He wants to know every thought going through her head. Despite the short amount of time that they’ve been traveling together, she’s made quite the impact on him. Because of her, he’s been feeling things he hasn’t felt in decades. The desire to protect. To comfort. To…touch.
“I ain’t gonna let anyone hurt you,” he says. “That’s my job.”

AKA, cooper slowly begins to realise exactly what lucy means to him, and then it hits him all at once just how much he needs her...and maybe she needs him, too
