A/N: I don't normally write fluff, but the 30 Day OTP Challenge showed up on my Tumblr dash right after I had watched Leverage for 8 hours, and this was spawned.

Disclaimer: I do not own Leverage.

That being said, please, read and enjoy!

Kissing Parker is very much like working with her, heart racing, adrenaline pumping, and another ten years shaved off his life.

They're running from security guards with guns and Eliot's somewhere far across the world, liberating a failed state or stopping an ethnic cleansing or whatever he does in his spare time. There's a shout behind them, and heavy feet pounding against the tile, and Alec turns, his heart in his throat.

Parker's gone.

"Parker!" Alec hisses and looks around. She was right beside him half a second ago, where could she have gone –

"Psst!"

Alec freezes.

"Psst! Up here!"

Alec looks up to see Parker's blonde head peeking out from a vent in the ceiling. A thick black cord drops down.

"Parker – how did you – get back here!"

Parker frowns, her nose wrinkling cutely, and replies, "Don't be silly! Come on, the vent leads up to the roof."

Alec balks. "What, up there? Nuh-uh, Parker I don't do that ninja mojo and there are dust mites and-"

"There he is!"

Alec grabs the cord. "Pull-me-up-pull-me-up-pull-me-up!"

A gunshot rings out and a bullet strikes the edge of the vent just after Alec's foot makes it through.

He doesn't shriek like a ten-year-old girl. Really, he doesn't.

Even Parker's breath comes a little faster as they burst out onto the roof, and freedom has never tasted so sweet. The moon hangs fat and heavy in the night sky, casting silver light on Parker's pale hair. She grins at Alec, her eyes bright with life.

She's so beautiful.

Alec leans forward and kisses her.

She's wearing minty lip gloss and he can taste the apple juice she had with dinner. She makes a soft 'mmph' of surprise and grabs his shirt.

Parker blinks up at him when they break apart, a soft curious smile playing across her lips.

"Pretzels?"

Alec beams. "Pretzels."

Parker grins back and makes quick work of their harnesses, readying their escape route. Alec looks over the side of the building uneasily, but the guards are occupied at the other side of the complex.

"Ladies first."

Parker smirks, her eyes glinting mischievously. "Okay!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH Parkeeeeer!"

Working with Parker is a lot like kissing her, heart racing, adrenaline pumping, and another ten years shaved off his life.

But as Parker giggles and dives down after her boyfriend, Alec knows he wouldn't have it any other way.
