CHAPTER 1: The Promise
Sky walked the hallways of the S.P.D. base, the fluoro-blue lights illuminating the tile as he walked along it. It was late. 3.00am to be exact. However, he couldn't sleep. He had something on his mind. Something that he'd promised her long ago.
FLASHBACK
The B-Squad were lounging around in the Rec-Room, having just defeated Mirloc. All except Sky. Syd was frustrated. After Bridge, who had been best friends with Sky all their lives, she'd known Sky the longest. 4 years. He was 17 and she was 16 when she'd joined the academy. There was always the physical attraction between them that was for sure. And he'd always gone out of his way to make her feel comfortable in this new and unfamiliar organisation - as had Bridge - but there was something about Sky that made her heart melt. Yet, despite how close they'd grown in these past few years, she still had found no way to confess her feelings, she was in love him. That was why she was frustrated.
Suddenly, Sky walked into the Rec-Room. "Syd, can I ah, speak to you for a moment?" he enquired nervously "Alone?"
Jack and Bridge shared a knowing look, whilst Z winked at her. "Sure" Syd responded. Sky smiled anxiously.
They went for a walk, ending up in the park, the same park where he'd tried to protect her from Mirloc earlier that very day.
"So what did you want to talk about Sky?" She smiled up at him.
Sky felt nervous. He'd never done anything like this before. He'd never felt this way about anyone else. "Syd, I wanted to talk to you about what happened today." He started.
"With Mirloc? Here on this bridge?" She looked up at him hopefully, her baby-blue eyes shining.
"Yeah. I just wanted you to know that you're special to me. And that it really meant a lot, what you said today about my dad." Sky told her.
She smiled. That smile he loved so much and would do anything to see. "Is that all you wanted to say?" She prodded.
"No, I ah, wow. This is harder than I thought." Sky started to sweat, he tugged at his S.P.D. jacket. He looked down onto the dry grass. He looked deeply into her eyes, felt the love that he held for her and immediately knew what to say.
"Look, Syd. I know how you feel about me. And you know I feel the same way about you. I always thought we'd get our chance once we became Rangers, but we know that isn't the case." Syd's heart was beating fast; she thought she knew what was coming. Sky continued. "So, I have no other choice but-"
"Please don't say it." She whispered, tears filling her eyes. "We can try it, we'll make it work, I swear." Syd began crying.
"What? Syd, I was just going to say that once Grumm is gone, that's it." Sky said, hugging her close. "I want to give us a try. The only thing stopping me right now-"
"Is the job." She interrupted. It was a statement, not a question. "I get it." She rolled her eyes.
"No. The only thing stopping me is that I want to get this right. And we can't do that if we're constantly fighting monsters and not being able to spend any time together." He explained.
Syd's heart soared; she beamed up at him, as he wiped her tears away. This was the Sky she remembered. The one who was willing to be an actual person around his team-mates. The real Sky. The one who was around before Jack and Z showed up to S.P.D.
He leant down, softly cupping his hands on her cheeks and kissed her. It wasn't filled with passion, lust or desire, but with love.
They broke away and she put her arms around his neck. "I love you Sydney Drew," He told her, his steel-blue eyes locked on her baby-blues. "Always have. And I swear, once Grumm is gone, we're going to make this work."
"I love you too, Schuyler." And that was all she had to say.
END FLASHBACK
Sky grinned as the memories came flooding back. He grabbed a drink of water from the regenerator in the Rec-Room.
"You look like an idiot when you make that face. You know that right?"
Sky jumped, dropping his cup. It was Syd. "Shit, Syd. You scared me."
Syd grinned "You'll get over it." She got up off the couch, wearing her pink tank-top and black pyjama bottoms, and walked towards him.
"I'm sure I will," he said putting his arms around her waist as hers hooked around his neck. He drew her into a deep kiss. "So, Grumm's gone." He pointed out, pulling them apart.
"You're right" she smiled. Ever since their talk at the park, they'd gotten closer, emotionally. They'd always been close, but they now talked to one another in a way they never had before. It was just like being in a relationship, just without the physical component, although Sky would constantly brush a stray curl behind her ear; sneak a quick kiss on the cheek when the Commander and the others weren't looking.
"Syd, I made you a promise." He said. "And I intend on keeping it. Would you like to go out for dinner on Saturday?"
"Of course." Sky grinned. "But Sky, this relationship, it isn't going to be like most others." She explained.
"How do you mean?"
"Well for one, we can really skip the whole 'getting to know you' phase. We've known each other for 4 years." She said. "Then we can skip the whole, 'opening-up and trust' phase, because we've been doing that for the past 3 months."
"So what you're saying is, that we've essentially been in a relationship for the past 3 months and that the only thing that needs to change is that we're putting a label on it?" Sky asked.
"That and a little more of this." They kissed again, this time with more passion. When they broke apart, he noted that her eyes sparkled with happiness. Here was the woman he loved. They were finally together, for real.
The two lay on the couch in silence, but a comfortable silence. They eventually fell asleep, Syd in Sky's arms, her face nuzzled in his Red S.P.D. t-shirt, his chin resting on the top of her blonde curls. They were finally together, this was how it was supposed to be.
End of Chapter 1. Please Review :)
