So our lovely characters Skye and Agent Ward have been sent undercover as a couple to a couples retreat. Lovely bit of Skyeward drivel.

"Ok our last couple! Skye, let's start with you, tell the group, what is it that Grant does that makes you feel the most anger"
Skye shrugged and looked nervously towards her S.O "don't look at him for the answer." The woman continued as she pulled at a stray Afro curl and tucked it back into her tight bun.
"Um, I dunno I guess, when he leaves the toilet seat up" Skye replies with a slight smirk.
"Skye, I think you need to take this a little more seriously, I need you to dig deeper, what is it? Come on now, there must be something"
"Ok fine" Skye looked down at her hands and studied her half chewed fingernails for a moment "I guess he can be a little closed off"
"Yes, go on" the woman smiled
"And just when I think I've made a break through and that we are actually communicating, he just turns into the T1000 again" Skye looks up at the groups equally befuddled expressions and clarifies, "you know a robot"
"Good Skye, and how does that make you feel?"
"Like I'm not important, at least not important enough for him to share what's on his mind." Skye looks up to meet her S.O's dark eyes and quickly looks away.
"Thank you for sharing that Skye, and now you Grant, would you care to tell us and Skye what your feeling"
Wards face made no expression it was hard to read his thoughts towards this woman, but he obliged her.
"Skye is unexpected, frustrating, often childish and constantly needs to fill silences"
"Ok Grant, that's quite a share, care to elaborate" the woman smiled her bright white smile and dimples formed in her ebony cheeks as she gestured for him to continue.
Ward did not once look up at his trainee as he spoke
"Despite all those things, I love her, even when she makes me crazy..."
Skye gulped and searched for something in Wards eyes, had that been true or was it just part of the act? 'Of course he's acting, she said quietly to herself.
"...I just don't know if I can trust her" he continued
'Boom that was not part of the act' she thought silently.
"Has there been a recent event that has caused you to mistrust her?"
"A few weeks ago she was in contact with her ex..."
"Hey that wasn't what you thought it was, and you know it!" Skye interrupted in immediate defense of herself
"Skye please let him finish, how did that make you feel Grant?"
"Betrayed" this time he did look up at her, Skye could feel his eyes pierce through her.
"Ok thank you both of you, now it appears to me that both of you need to communicate more, It's obvious you both have strong feelings for one another, but you need to work hard at this. Skye, give him time, he will open up and Grant if you open yourself to her she will feel no need to confide in others, talk tell her how you feel, listen to each other.
Right group, this was a fantastic session today, I think we have all made progress, lets finish by taking our partners hands, looking deep into there eyes and saying 'I am sorry, I forgive you and I love you" the group repeated in a haunting chorus.
Skye felt the warmth of Wards hands entwined with hers and felt her stomach do a tiny flip,
"Finally once you feel you've let go of the bad, in you own time I want you to kiss your partners meaningfully. Great session everyone and I'll see you all back here tomorrow at 9" she called as she exited the room.
"Whoa, did she just say kiss?" Skye asked looking almost panicked before she schooled her features to look calm.
"Yes, why are you scared?" Ward teased trying to keep the smile from his mouth.
"No of course not, why are you?" She said raising an eyebrow
"Skye I have been on countless missions undercover, if I was scared of a little kiss between coworkers I'd be out of a job," he whispered
"Less chatting more kissing" came a chirpy voice from behind them, it was a jolly looking portly woman from the couple next to them, she winked at them both before pulling her husband away and out the door.
"Ewe it's like an Orgy in here" Skye commented looking around at all the couples swapping saliva " some are really going for it"
"Guess we just have to make ours real convincing then" he said pulling her legs towards him and smiling in way that could almost be perceived as flirtatious, she felt a tingle at the feel of his hands against her bare thighs, god why did she have to wear such tiny shorts today she thought silently. He removed one of his hands from her thigh and raised it up to her cheek pulling her face to his till there lips were almost touching,
"Ready to sell it?" He breathed, now running his hand carelessly across the nape of her neck.
"Give me your best" she smiled, their foreheads touching, before she could say another word his lips were on hers hungrily devouring her mouth with his, the pair filled the space between them as best they could, he lifted her tiny frame easily onto himself and let his hand work there way up her back, then tugging at her hair, she pulled away teasing before moving her lips back to his and running her fingers through the his short cropped hair, and pressing her body hard against his, it wasn't long before they realised that they were now alone.
"I think we can stop now," Skye said breathlessly moving herself off of her S.O
"Ye I think we sold it" Ward said equally out of breath and smiling broadly
"I supposes...but I've had better" she teased smiling at a smoldering ward as she made her way to the door,
"Oh is that right?" Ward said, only seconds behind her, he reached over her and pressed door shut, she turned to find herself trapped between her S.O and the thick oak door, he was so close she could feel his warm breath on her cheek, she tried to disguise the lustful desire from her gaze, he wrapped his hands around her thighs and lifted her against the wall with ease, "don't make me go for round two" he whispered sending shivers down her neck. There was as soft buzz and then a click
"Hello do you copy? Can you talk" Came Fitz's voice through their earpieces.
Ward lowered his trainee to the floor before answering. "We can talk"
"What's going on? You two were supposed to check in five minutes ago?"
"Sorry the meeting over ran" Ward replied formally.
"Right, well was there anything unusual? Did you pick up on anyone or anything peculiar?" He said in his broad Scottish accent.
"No everyone was normal, well as normal as these hippies can be?!" Replied Skye
"Skye, are you ok? You sound a little out of breath?"
"Of course ye I just...I'm fine"
"Ok well keep us updated, checks again in an hour"
