A/N: So this is an add on to The Office Job I hope it makes sense. I wrote it in like an hour so yeah. It'll make sense when you read it. I don't own Leverage or Florence+The Machine!

Who deserved it and who didn't

Nate plugged his headphones into his old mp3 player and laid down on the couch. He scrolled through his list of music and picked out Florence and The Machines song Breaking Down. He turned the music up really loud and just laid there. He closed his eyes eager for sleep to overcome him. He thought about what had happened earlier that day. Him and Sophie were arguing over the camera at the Good Cheer office. He didn't exactly feel bad for what he did. She deserved it right? That's when it hit him like a shovel to the face. That little notebook she kept on all of his things he had done to offended her was jam packed with markings. She felt very...what was the word...unheard. When Gunther had asked him about what he does with time he didn't really have an answer. Did he always just focus on the job? Did he shut everyone out and put down their opinions? He gave her that card and she seemed to forget about his insults. He knew though in the back of his head she still felt hurt. She might've been the one to get the worker to talk to him and to start the fight. She felt angered, annoyed, and hurt she was just trying to get him to talk. He was just the bastard in the suit ignoring her every single day. The song changed to Are You Hurting The One You Love. The irony of that happening. Anyway he wanted to just go to her and hug her and tell her that he was sorry. It would never happen though, he didn't have the courage. All happiness left him only to leave him with a cold and bitter taste of lost love in his mouth. The thought made him shudder and he ripped his headphones out trying to get away, to find something. He heard something move behind him. He turned around slowly his hands shaking.

"Sophie! You almost gave me a heart attack!" Nate cried out

"Sorry Nate I just came over to get something and I thought you were sleeping and then you flipped out and I panicked" Sophie apologized quickly. Nate stopped dead, it was now or never. Sophie started to rush towards the door and Nate bounded off the couch after her.

"Sophie wait!" Nate said grabbing her hand. He felt his face turn hot when she looked at him surprised. He guided her over to the couch and sat down next to her. She looked confused and surprised but went along with it.

"Nate is something wrong?" Sophie asked quietly

"Yeah I just wanted to tell you that you were right" Nate said looking at her

"Right about what?" Sophie asked

"That notebook you have, that red one, it's made me realize something" Nate said slowly

"Go on" Sophie urged

"I deserve the punishment not you. The only reason you did what you did and said what you said was because you wanted to be heard. You wanted my attention but I pushed you away every time." Nate said his voice wavering

"And..." Sophie added

"I feel worse then you could imagine. You felt hurt, angered, and the only way you could get my attention was by insulting me. I deserved those insults each and every one, but you didn't deserve the pain. I'm so sorry I just wanted to tell you that I understand now." Nate said his voice cracking at the end

"Thank you" Sophie whispered, "You were right, absolutely right. But the question is if you'll change."

"Sophie you mean the world to me. Not the job. I want to be with you and if you ever feel like I'm shutting you out just tell me. So Sophie will you be with me in a real loving relationship?"

"Yes!" Sophie whispered looking at him lovingly. He leaned over and kissed her. It was different then any other kiss it, was a real kiss. One that meant something.
