From Skye: I'VE FOUND THE PERFECT DRESS !
From Jemma: I am in complete confusion!
All the clothes that I have seem so inappropriate :(
From Bobbi: Remind me again why I'm
your friend and why I have to be at this stupid dance.
From Skye: Come on Bobbi, we all know that you can not wait.
Grant Ward was the only man who could get ready in less than two minutes. Shower, shave , dress. It wasn't that hard.
Skye, however, was in the bathroom for an about an hour now.
He still don't know how she and Jemma were successful, but Director Coulson would go down in the history for being the first to introduce the "SHIELD's Grand ball"
"Agents Skye and Grant Ward are cordially invited to the..
SHIELD's Grant Ball
Open to all employees of our agency, it will be held in the Hub in date 11/13/16 at 9.00 pm
. required dress code. "Read their invitation.
And now, Grant was ready standing in the middle of the room, watching proud the knot in his purple tie .
"How much do you still need?" He asked to Skye.
"Don't rush me" Skye said, "A lady needs time to look good"
"You're always beautiful to me" Grant said with a slight smile, "Even in the morning when you woke up"
"Your sweetness will not make me go faster, Grant Douglas, but I appreciate it" said Skye.
"Can you tell me again how you managed to convince Coulson?" Asked Grant.
He came back as an active member of the team for almost five years now and since the day when Skye told him "You're a bastard, but I can't stop loving you" Grant's life had become like a dream from which he didn't want to wake up.
Nevertheless, that little girl could still surprise him.
"Oh, it's simple" Skye said "I just had to pull off my infallible puppy eyes and say that, having dropped out of school before graduation, I never attended a real school prom Then Jemma gave me a hand, saying that in England they don't do these things, and that since she was admited into the academy when she wasn't 15 years old yet, shas never participated in a real prom too. "
"But the Academy alwasy had it's annual prom" Grant said confused "I remember that I went there with some girls"
"And who are these girls?" Asked Skye "You know what, I don't care and don't want to know. However, it is exactly what A.C told to her and she said that she wasn't popular enough to be invited by someone and that when she met Fitz, he was definitely not the prom tipe of guy "
"I feel sorry for him" Grant said with a laugh, putting on his dark suit jacket.
At first he was skeptical to the idea of letting Skye bought him a suit for the occasion.
"You always have the same terribly boring dark suit, let me buy you something different" she said.
His suit consisted in a white shirt, purple tie, dark jacket and light gray trousers. He wouldn't ever thought that a such a combination of different colors could be that good.
Skye's dress instead was still shrouded in mystery. Grant could swear he saw a large parcel on their bed a few days before, but Skye had hidden it saying she wanted to surprise him.
"How's the suit?" Skye asked, her voice partially disturbed by the noise of the hair dryer on.
"Perfect" Grant said, "And I have to agree with you, I don't think I've ever worn anything like that"
"I told you so" said Skye.
"And when I can see your dress?"
"Five more minutes cowboys, don't rush it"
"But you are in there for over an hour" Grant said, "We'll be late"
"Here I am" said Skye exasperated "I'm here"
Grant was speechless.
Skye wore a simple cream-colored dress with a full skirt that ended just above her knees. The front of the dress was very simple, embellished only by heart-shaped pendant that he had given her for their first anniversary, while on the back there was a deep neckline covered with a very sexy white lace layer.
"So? Why don't you say anything? "asked nervously Skye" Don't you like it? "
"You take my breath away love" Grant said, capturing her lips in a tender kiss.
"Now my lipstick is ruined" Skye whispered against his lips.
"It's still perfect" said Grant.
"Come on" Skye said, taking his hand "Maybe we'll be prom king and queen"
Grant laughed amused and refrained himself from saying that they weren't in high school, and then there would be no king or prom queen. Skye would become something much more that night, but certainly he didn't want to ruin the surprise.
A/N: Here is another mini long. I have already planned to not go beyond five chapters.
In the following chapters we will see what happens from FitzSimmons, from Huntingbird and Philinda, and then the ball.
I don't know, it seemed like a cute idea. (and a good excuse to put our boys in a suit)
with regard Grant's dress I was inspired by a photo of Brett's last photo shoot, while Skye's is completely made up.
What surprise do you think Ward have in mind?
