Prompt #55: "Shut up and kiss me already"

Summary: For two of Rainbow's operators, Valentine's day turns out better than expected.

"-Valentine's Day is an overrated holiday." Skylar said while entering her room. Ash followed behind her, laughing. "I wouldn't be this pissed about it if it was fun for all ages." She sat down on her bed, setting her phone aside. "When you're young you get to do those cute Valentine's for your whole glass, but after that if you don't have a significant other, you're most likely getting bupkis."

"Are you really this upset about being single?" Ash took a seat on her bed, removing her FBI hat and fixing her hair.

They just returned from a mission that went better than expected, even Thermite didn't manage to fuck anything up. Skylar was in a good mood until she saw Zofia with a bouquet of flowers and chocolates in her hands, no doubt from her husband. Then it all went downhill from there.

"No I'm not upset that I'm single, I just hate that it's kinda shoved down our throats." She took off her hat, setting it beside her and scrubbed a hand down her face. "The only good thing about Valentine's Day is all of the chocolate that's going to be on sale tomorrow."

Ash took off her aviators and looked her dead in the eyes. "Skylar, I can see right through you. You were fine until you saw Zofia, then you became a little bitchy."

She threw her hands up in the air in defeat. "Okay maybe I am upset about being single."

"But why? You're out of their league anyways."

"Thanks." She chuckled and looked down at her hands. "It brings me back to watching my sister get a bunch of stuff from her then boyfriend, no husband growing up. She's 12 years older than me and I guess I looked up to her too much."

"You thought it would be the same for you, didn't you? And when it wasn't you got jealous." Ash set her boots aside - grabbing her phone and leaned against her headboard, letting out a satisfied sigh.

"I was 3 when my sister started dating her husband. And every year onward I saw him bringing flowers and chocolates and card for her - yes I might have been naive to think it would be the same for me and maybe I did get jealous once I turned a teenager." She sighed and started unlacing her purple boots. "That jealousy never lasted, and I shouldn't be complaining about not getting a Valentine. Evan always brought me something too, whether it was a little box of chocolates or a stuffed animal. I just see how happy and in love they are, and deep down I kinda want that."

Skylar set her boots aside and got up - walking over to her dresser. She pulled out a pair of navy blue sweats and an oversized black t-shirt, tossing them on her bed. She turned to see Ash scrolling on through her phone.

A moment later Ash peeked up from her phone, a smirk spreading across her face. "You miss it, don't you? Getting those little gifts from him."

She hung her head and laughed, turning back towards her after a moment. "Yeah, I kinda do. It's my fault though, I told him he didn't have too, and with living so far away I didn't want him shipping me something that could go bad or get lost in the mail."

"Call him. Tell him you changed your mind."

"It's been 8 years Ash." She walked back over to her bed, grabbing the clean pair of clothes. "He just made my birthday package a bit bigger. I'm gonna take a shower, I'll see you later."

xXx

After a much needed shower, Skylar made her way to her locker to put her M4 machine gun and M1911 pistol away, along with her unused grenades and flash bangs.

The locker room was rather quiet, then again it was late and everyone who had a mission probably already put their stuff away and called it a night. Upon walking up the stairs she heard Sledge talking to Thatcher about getting a beer tomorrow night. It wasn't hard to miss either of their voices, both were always a tad bit too loud.

She made it to the top of the stairs, turning left to head to her locker. That's when she saw them, standing outside Thatcher's locker. It was times like these she hated having a locker next to Thatcher - not because of the man himself, she had great respect for Mike, hell she did all her recruit training with him. Just Seamus doesn't have an indoor voice, and there were some things Skylar didn't want to know.

"Seamus do you have to talk so loud? I heard you from the bottom of the staircase." Skylar said with a laugh.

She walked over to her locker, punching in her code until she heard the buzzer to go in. She placed her machine gun and pistol on the bench, then went for the grenade and flash bang cases.

"Sorry love, I thought we were alone." He walked over to her locker, standing outside it. Thatcher next to him. "Didn't have any plans tonight?"

She set the cases down and turned to them. "Nope. I'm surprised you're even here, I thought you would be at some pub tonight."

"I would be if we didn't get a last minute mission."

"You guys too?" She flipped open her grenade case, placing them in it. "I thought the FBI were the only ones."

"Not the case dear, we had a hit on some intel needed to get there fast." Thatcher said. "Since you've already heard our plans, you're more than welcome to join."

"It's good that your mission went well. And yeah I'd love too, a few drinks wouldn't hurt."

Seamus quirked a confused brow, tapping his fingers on the metal touchpad. "How'd you know the mission went well?"

Skylar placed her machine gun on it's rack and laughed. "I've been on enough missions with Mike to know when something has gone his way or not. I can tell by the tone of his voice."

He nodded his head in agreement, watching her put her unused flash bangs in it's case. "Sometimes I think you're the only that can - beside Mark, James and I."

"You guys do know you can come in right?" She chuckled as she heard him open the locker door while she placed her pistol on its rack. "Well I can't speak for anyone but myself. I'm the newest member and I figured him out relatively quickly, if other operators haven't, it's because they don't want too. And that's their problem."

"Good point love."

She grabbed her grenade and flash case, putting them back on the shelf. "Also how many people on this team have some sort of special gadget? Like more than half, that's a small percentage that still use just plain old fashion weaponry. If they couldn't use their special gadgets for some reason, then Thatcher would be right. And I don't think they want that."

"Are you saying technology has taken over the military?" Seamus said letting out a laugh.

"Not really, yes some technology has helped us and whatnot. But when you put to much faith in a robot to do your job, then what are you going to do when you can't use it? I've done things more quickly and laid out more damage with a flash bang and my pistol than any other technological gadget."

Thatcher walked over to a shelf on the other side of her locker, grabbing her ka-bar knife. "Technology can lag, go out or the enemy can hack us. A six inch blade never loses reception."

"I'm not sure if she's a female version of you Mike or if you should marry her." Seamus crossed his arms, watching Thatcher set down the knife.

Skylar stood their kind of awkwardly, fiddling with the hem of her shirt. She wasn't sure if she should say something sarcastic or not to make it less awkward. Thatcher walked to the locker door, turning back to them.

"She deserves someone with less baggage." He opened the door, stepping out. "I have a bunch of paperwork to do, I'll see you guys tomorrow."

"Okay, night Mike."

"Night Skylar."

Skylar yawned and stretched her arms over her head. "I think I'm gonna grab a snack and watch some netflix before passing out. I'm tired."

"Mmm, I'm gonna give my girl a polishing before hitting the sack myself. Night Skylar."

"Night Seamus."

xXx

Skylar was walking down the hall with a bag of chips and a water in one hand, her phone in the other. She was scrolling through netflix, browsing which movie she wanted watch before bed. Nothing was catching her attention, and most seemed to b-rated for her liking.

Turning the corner she looked up when she heard another pair of feet walking along the linoleum flooring. Making eye contact with Glaz, she stopped and quirked a brow when she saw he had flowers in his hand. He tried hiding the flowers behind his back - he sighed in defeat, knowing she saw them and walked over to her.

"I didn't know you were seeing anyone Glaz." Skylar locked her phone - sliding it into her pocket.

"I'm…..not. If everything goes well, I hope to be." He looked down at the flowers, then back towards her.

"Oh, do you mind if I ask who they're for?" She looked down at the flowers, a smile gracing her face. "Peach roses are my favorite kind of rose."

"I know, because they're for you!" He held out the flowers, a sheepish grin on his face.

She looked up at him, mouth slightly gaping. "Glaz….I I wasn't expecting this, but thank you! The flowers are beautiful!"

She took them from his hand, bringing them up to her nose to smell them. They were in perfect blume, meaning he picked them up today.

"You're welcome!" He rubbed the back of his neck, looking away from her. "Skylar, there's been something I've wanted to ask you and I should've done it weeks ago like Alex said. But I kept chickening out and I wasn't sure if you felt the same way…"

"Timur, shut up and kiss me already!"

Glaz went quiet, looking down at her with a big smile on his face. His hands cupped her cheeks, gently leaning down until their lips met. Skylar wrapped her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss, bothing humming into it. He pulled away after a moment, resting their foreheads together as they both tried to catch their breath.

"I take it this means you'll go out with me?"

She pulled back to get a better look at him. It was cute to see how flustered he was. "I would love to go out with you Timur!"

"Now I'm really happy I finally found the courage to ask you." He chuckled. "What were you doing anyways? I wasn't expecting to see you walking around this late."

"Getting a snack before heading to room to watch some netflix. You're welcome to join."

Glaz intertwined their hands together, slowly walking towards the dorms. "We could go to my room, we'll have more privacy."

"Maxim isn't there?"

"No, he's out with Alex and Shuhrat. They'll be gone until morning."

"Then yeah, let's go." They took a few steps before she stopped. "Wait, let me grab something to put the flowers in. I don't want them dying overnight."

Skylar headed back towards the rec-room with Glaz for a cup large enough to hold the two dozen peach roses. After some rummaging around she finally found a large enough cup - filling it halfway with water and setting it on the table.

Glaz was cutting off the stems to make sure they would fit better, and one by one they filled the cup. Once their mess was cleaned up they headed towards Glaz's room.

They were both snuggled up to each other under the blanket watching some ridiculous movie. Both of them knew from the getgo that it was going to be stupid, still they couldn't pull their eyes away. Besides the movie, there was something else on Skylar's mind.

She trailed her hand down his torso, feeling his white cotton shirt beneath her finger tips. Smirking when she heard him gasp as her hand went under the band of his sweatpants, cupping his growing arousal.

She gave him a small squeeze, hearing him grunt in return. Taking his semi-hard cock in her hands, she began stroking him - watching him grip the sheet and breath heavily through his nose. After a few more strokes, Glaz leaned forward, pausing the movie, shutting the laptop and placing it on the floor.

The next moment Glaz was on top of her, kisses and nipping at her neck. "Yebat' fil'm, ya khochu tebya, ya khochu vsekh vas."

xXx

The morning sun peeked through the curtains, Glaz pulled Skylar closer to him, nuzzling his face in her chestnut brown hair. Last night felt like a dream and he was afraid he would wake up alone. He was thankful that wasn't the case.

Skylar started to stir, slowly waking up herself. He kissed her cheek, making her giggle.

"Morning beautiful!"

She turned turned around to face him, tiredness still showing in her eyes. "Morning handsome!"

"Did you sleep well?" He wrapped his arms around her again, pulling her to his chest and kissing her forehead.

"Like a baby." She chuckled. "How did you sleep?"

"A lot better with you in my arms."

"Awe, that's sweet!"

She began to close her eyes again, hoping to get a little bit more sleep. Groaning when she heard the door open. Eyes snapping open when she remembered she wasn't in her room and the person walking in wasn't Ash. She slowly lifted her head, making sure the blanket was covering her whole body before looking at the door.

Letting out a small whine when she saw Maxim and Alex standing in the doorway, both with a gaping smile on their faces. She groaned into the pillow, covering her head with the blanket.

"About damn time you two got together." Alex said a moment later.

Skylar sat up, making sure the blanket didn't fall down. "This is awkward."

Glaz sighed and sat up, shooting a glare at Alex. "Do you guys mind giving us some privacy? I don't think she wants to get dressed with two other men in the room."

"No, no take your time, you know where the condoms are." Maxim said as he started pushing Alex out of the room and shutting the door behind him.

Skylar and Glaz looked at each other, both shaking their heads and laughing about the whole situations.

"Ya khochu detali Timur." Alex yelled from outside the door.

She looked over at Glaz, seeing his face turn red and a hand scrub down his face. Whatever Alex said wasn't good on his end, and to see the slightly older man flustered again made her smile.
