A/N: Hey, I'm back. Life got a little insane and writing was harder and harder but today I just can't seem to stop. So luckily I'm catching up with the past eps.

This is a two-shot… because lingerie really deserves two parts so… Onwards and upwards.

oxoxoxoxo

If Leena was to be true to herself, going out on a mission did feel a bit like a fun field trip. Leaving South Dakota felt more and more like a blessing each time she did it. And it had been years since she'd done it. But now, she rolled her shoulders and winced, now she was achey and she couldn't wait to get to bed.

She'd left Artie, both of them with preoccupied minds, and drove the short distance to Univille, eventually pulling up the drive to the B&B. Gathering her purse, she undid her belt and made her way into her home. She kicked off her boots and placed them by the door, silently tiptoeing up the stairs, careful not to wake anybody up.

It had been a long day; not just for her, but for everyone. That didn't stop her surprise when she entered her bedroom and noticed Claudia fast asleep in her bed, curled up on her side with her arm wrapped around what looked like a gift bag.

She smiled instantly and approached the bed cautiously, listening to the tiny snores coming from the agent. She sat down, unable to stop herself from reaching out and indulging herself with stroking the soft auburn hair. Claudia twitched slightly, her nose crinkling and she let out a small growl. Leena chuckled and bent down, kissing Claudia's cheek. She'd done a lot of kissing and hugging recently, which wasn't exactly a surprise seeing as she thought her heart was about to burst from the love she felt. "Claudia," she whispered, her eyebrows raising when the redhead rolled onto her back, arms in the air as if asking for a cuddle, discarding the bag to her left. Leena chuckled and fell forward into Claudia's arms. "Hi." She watched as Claudia kept her eyes closed, still fighting the sleep that was drawing her back. She pressed gentle kisses to the younger woman's lips, "You're in my bed," she said with a grin, before leaning down to kiss her again.

"Fell asleep," Claudia mumbled, rubbing her still closed eyes.

"In my bed." Leena's eyes twinkled.

"Mm…" she conceded with a grunt. She felt herself falling back to sleep until the sudden reality of where she was, who she was with, made her sit up and blink rapidly in an attempt to rid the sting from her eyes.

"You're back." She croaked with a grin. "Hey."

"Hi there," Leena laughed, swiping back the woman's hair and she rolled off of her gently. "You okay?"

"Yeah," Claudia nodded, wincing as she sat up. "Yeah I'm good." She pushed her hair away from her face and shuffled to make space for the other woman. "Oh!" she blurted suddenly. "Oh, this is for you." She grabbed the bag next to her and tried to stop the blush from coloring her cheeks. Now she was here, this felt like a bad idea. But things had been going steady. She wouldn't exactly say that she and the innkeeper were dating, and they definitely weren't in a relationship… yet, anyway. But whatever was between them felt kind of special, and it caused Claudia to lean forward for another quick kiss before pulling back. "I uhh… It was to say sorry. You know, for last week." She swallowed thickly and watched Leena intently, hoping that her spontaneous gift buying would pay off.

Artifact snagged and bagged, Claudia found herself dragging Steve around the sales racks, fingering gently at the lacy lingerie.

"Hmm… this one's all kind of fancy." She murmured, mainly to herself, as she picked up a black and mauve bra. Its detail was fascinating; small embroidered flowers lining the top curve of the cup, satin lace making it half see-through at the nipple area and therefore very sexy. She checked the size and the price. "Eight bucks, are you kidding me?" She looked over at the sales clerk who watched eagerly, hoping to make another sale.

"Very fancy," Steve rolled his eyes, not even looking at the garment. It wasn't that he felt uncomfortable here; it was more that he wanted to get going and finish the mission. Something was making him edgy, and he couldn't figure out what it was. When his eyes moved over to the bra in question, he frowned. "Fancy, yes… but Claud, don't you think you're getting a little ahead of yourself?" He smirked, looking down at her modest chest.

She frowned too, completely confused before she looked at where Steve was staring and a lightbulb went off. "Oh god, no! No, not for me," she cackled, "No, I'm quite happy with these skittle tits, thank you very much. It's for Le—" Her eyes widened and she quickly shut herself up, shaking her head.

"For…" Steve questioned, his eyes twinkling. "For who? For Le…" He sounded out the half-name and as his mind processed, he lifted a hand and pointed accusatorily. "Leena?" he squeaked. "That's… for Leena?"

Claudia groaned and covered her eyes. "No, I just like buying 34D cup bras. Makes me roomy… I could always stick a few socks down there if I wante—"

"That is for Leena." He shook his head in wonderment, not even needing to register that Claudia was lying and lowered his voice. "Are you sleeping with Leena?"

"What?" Claudia wrinkled her nose. "No…" She sighed heavily. "Maybe." Another sigh. "Does having sexytimes and leaving during the middle of the night technically count as sleeping? Because I-"

"Yes!" He barked, trying not to laugh. "Oh my god. This is… this is big."

"No." She said sternly, pointing a finger at him and then regretting it thanks to the pain in her arm. "It is not big. It is very small, no marital statuses are changing, nothing has been decided, we're not together, it's not a relationship, it just is what it is… okay?" He nodded solemnly. " Okay… now," she said sniffily, to tell him the 'discussion', if you could even call it that, was over. "You have to help me choose a pair of cute lil panties to go with this thing." She said, her persona changing dramatically. She pushed herself away from a stand and began to rummage around in the underwear section, trying to find the matching pair. Steve had no choice but to follow and help.

As soon as Leena's fingers ventured into the gift bag and she brushed against satin lace, she looked up, almost asking for permission to go further. Claudia smiled nervously, nodding and Leena looked back down again, pulling out one of the prettiest bras she'd ever seen. "Claudia…" She whispered, pulling out the matching pair of panties from the bag with a dreamy sigh.

"You like them?" Claudia winced. "I… I would say I could return them, but kinda can't… so, if you don't like them I'll put them on eBay or something and—"

"Shh," Leena soothed with a smile, pulling Claudia by the chin to kiss her on the lips. "I love them." She pulled back, and checked the size, an eyebrow raising at the perfect fit. "Well, well… has someone been going through my lingerie drawer?"

Claudia rolled her eyes, feeling her cheeks heat up. "Would you rather have a pair that doesn't fit?"

Leena fought away a wide smile. "No… I'd rather have my little perv routing through my clothes, if I'm honest."

"Little," Claudia huffed, grinning nevertheless. "I'll have you know, I'm half an inch shorter than you." Leena nodded and rolled her eyes, accepting the grumble half-heartedly before propping herself up and straddling Claudia's waist, shutting her up with a long kiss. Claudia reacted in her own way, wrapping her arms around Leena's back and wriggling her hands up the back of Leena's blouse, tracing the soft skin of her spine with her fingers. She let out a moan when Leena's hand fell between her legs and pulled away with a shake of the head, whispering, "Go put it on…"

Another quirk of her eyebrow was all Leena's answer. She got up slowly, giving one last look over to the agent on the bed before walking over to the en-suite, gift bag clutched tightly in her hand, and shut the door.
