Toby:

Toby's breaths were deep and slow, his body limp and thrown freely across the couch. He was sitting upright (but slumping and sinking lower with every passing minute), with his head thrown backwards resting on the back of the couch. The feeling of a slight jostling brought Toby out of his deep sleep. As he opened his eyes, he felt temporarily disoriented and didn't recognize the living room. Coming to reality, Toby's immediate thoughts went to only one thing.

"Happy?!" he asked into the air as he jerked up and waited for his eyes to adjust. The TV was on and it was giving off a harsh glow that hurt his eyes. Toby's mind flashed through painful memories of the evening when he had so idiotically sleep through their date and instantly he went into panic.

He felt a small pressure on his shoulders, and tensed before he realized what it was. They were Happy's hands gently massaging his shoulder blades. She stopped rubbing and let her hands slide down his chest as she leaned over the couch to place a quick kiss on his cheek.

"Come to bed." she whispered in his ear. Her warm breath on his neck sent shivers down Toby's spine. Toby happily obliged and pulled himself up off the couch and she took his hand, guiding them down the dark hallway into their bedroom. As the two slid into bed, Happy asleep almost instantly, Toby relaxed easily into the pillows. He smiled warmly at Happy's slim figure lying next to him. He felt like he could lie there with her forever. These were the moments, in the dead of night when it was just the two of them, when Toby had to pinch himself to make sure he was not dreaming. He did not know how he had come to be so lucky, how this amazing women had found her way into his arms. He was almost not deserving of someone as radiant as her. No, he was certain he was not deserving of her. It was a miracle to him that he had won her heart at all. Sure, he played the confident part in front of the team, but he was always scared he'd fail with her. He knew he was in love with her, and it was the deepest kind of love he had ever experienced. He wanted to do things right, to make it last.

And now that his dreams had come true and Happy Quinn lay sleeping peacefully on his pillows, Toby was overcome with a rush of gratitude and warmth. He owed his life to whatever cosmic power had aligned to bring Happy to him. He sat up slightly, propping himself up on one elbow to lean over and look down upon her. He smiled as he listened to her easy breathing and he couldn't take his eyes off her as he thought about how comfortable and beautiful she looked wrapped in his sheets. He lowered a quick kiss to her cheek and fell back down again. If he was lucky, Happy would lie down next to him and wake up with him every day for the rest of his life.
