Note: This is an AU Annie/Auggie story. It's only a one-shot because I'm horrible at completing full length stories. Although, if anyone else wants to make it a full length story I wouldn't mind. Please read and review, even if you hate it. This is my first CA fic! Yeah! Work it out! I haven't written Fanfiction in years, so I'm excited.

Summary: Alternate Universe. Annie and Auggie are former high school sweethearts who have an angsty reunion right before her first day at the CIA. One-shot.

His Weakness

A pleased smile crossed her lips when she spotted him right where his older brother, Jonah, said he would be most evenings- Allen's Tavern.

He sat at a table near the middle of the dimly lit bar, probably nursing a shot of Patron. It was a drink they'd both taken a liking to when they raided her parents' stash in high school. It occurred after her father announced his transfer to yet another part of the world. She had to say goodbye to her sweetheart, his wonderful family and Glencoe, Illinois to move to Japan for a whole year.

They tried keeping in touch, but it was difficult when he joined the army. Then she went to college and eventually traveled the world.

She never forgot him.

She finally got the nerve to see him again when she heard her father finally retired and moved her mother back to Glencoe.

Only what she found was much different than what she remembered. His family was no longer the fun and happy bunch who teased each other mercilessly. There was tension in the air, especially when she mentioned…him.

His mother seemed enthusiastic to see her, but not even she would tell her anything.

Did his family know about her and him? Did they hate her for her actions? She shook her head He was much too private to tell his family anything.

The situation got stranger when she asked about him.

They said he hadn't been home in nearly two years. His older brother Jonah, the normally talkative and mouthy one, advised her to take another trip to D.C.

So she did.

Ironically, it was a trip she'd be taking anyway to visit her sister's family. It happened much sooner than she thought it would. It was too bad she wouldn't be able to tell her sister she was in town until she had some free time.

Before she reached his table another woman chatted him up. She shook her head. It was the same old story.

This didn't deter her. She slid on his lap, just like she did in the past. She then boldly pressed a kiss to the upper part of his cheek. Her actions were painstakingly slow and sensual, flustering him.

He initially stiffened under her. "Whoa," he said with a bit of a laugh. He was uncomfortable and turned on all at once.

He couldn't see this bold woman, but the feel of her stirred his senses. Something about her was familiar. The smell of her hair and perfume triggered a long lost memory.

"Anne Catherine Walker? Could it possibly be?" he asked as he stroked her hair.

She laughed. Slowly moving her lips from his cheek to meet those deep brown eyes she loved. "Who else could it be Auggie?" she asked.

"I haven't seen you since…" he said a bit wistfully. He was still mystified she was here. "I wish I could see you now."

He said too much. He regretted it instantly.

She looked at him confused. Then she noticed his unfocused gaze. Her eyes caught the folded up red and white walking stick on the table. She gasped.

She palmed his cheek, her heart breaking. "Auggie, what happened? Jonah didn't mention this…"

"Jonah?" he repeated puzzled. "When did you see my brother?"

"Don't change the subject," she ordered. She slid off his lap and onto the chair next to him. She glanced around and noticed the other woman was no longer standing at the table. She was sitting at the bar and glaring at Annie.

Annie ignored her and turned to Auggie, taking his hand in hers.

Auggie instantly took his hand from hers as if he was stung. She shrugged off his reaction, even though it hurt. He didn't seem happy to be near her.

He sighed. "Courtesy of a bomb when I was Special Forces in Iraq," he casually gestured to his eyes. "I'm now D.C.'s own Ray Charles."

"When ?" She asked, horrified by his simplification.

"About a year and a half ago," He said.

He then turned further in the direction of her voice. Making it seem he was staring her down. "Enough about me. Annie, what are you doing here? I haven't seen you since I ran into you in Sri Lanka two years ago."

Annie froze in place. "It happened a year and a half ago? Right after Sri Lanka?"

Auggie stood up. He unfolded his cane. An angry look appeared on his face. "Yes. I decided to go to Iraq after you left me high and dry in Sri Lanka. Happy?"

With that said he left her at the table, alone.

Tears gathered in Annie's eyes. When she finally got a hold of herself she ran outside just in time to see Auggie entering a cab.

She used her speed and reflexes to run and reach the back passenger door before Auggie could close it.

"What the?..."Auggie started to say. When he smelt a hint of Jo Malone Grapefruit next to him he frowned. "Annie, what are you doing?"

"Sorry sweetheart," she said to him, waving at the cab driver to take off. "Did you really think our conversation was going to end after you told me you were blind?"

"Yeah considering you left Sri Lanka without a word," Auggie said.

"Auggie you have no idea how sorry I am about that," Annie said, wishing he could meet her eyes like he used to. Her heart thrashed in her chest again for her actions.

She hadn't recovered from hearing he was now blind.

It was her fault.

She took a breath and said, "You don't understand…I still love you."

"Don't!" Auggie angrily said. "Don't even say that!"

The cab driver turned at Auggie's sharp tone. A few minutes later he pulled up to Auggie's apartment building. He turned once again and took in the tense scene in his backseat. "You're here Mr. Anderson," the man said.

Auggie paid the driver. He stepped out of the cab without another word, with Annie close behind him.

He sighed when he heard her familiar kitten heels following him into the elevator. "You're still following me? Annie, shouldn't you be on a flight to nowhere already?"

He was angry with her, sure, but at the same time he missed her. He wanted her gone, but since Sri. Lanka he wished to have her by his side.

Now that she was in his presence he didn't know what to do. He couldn't be casual, smirk or brush it off. She was Annie. At many times in his life she was his whole world. She still is.

Women constantly flocked to him and flirted wildly. He never took any of them up on their offers. None of them compared to Annie. He couldn't betray her…like she betrayed him.

He hadn't believed his luck when he ran into his old girlfriend in Sri Lanka of all places. There he fell in love with her all over again, and even more so since high school.

She knew him better than anybody…or so he thought.

Flashes of being with Annie in Sri Lanka gripped him.

Walks on the beach. Making love until dawn. Lying in bed all day with her. Waking up to find her leaning over him with a ready smile. Then she would kiss him until he was fully awake.

He woke up one day and she was gone. It was like she wasn't ever there with him.

The only thing he had to remember her was the cool golden ring encircling his finger. He thought about throwing it in the ocean, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

He leaned against the wall of the elevator until he heard the sound of an automatic voice announcing his floor.

Annie's body heat was too near. He felt tempted to reach out to her and kiss her. He couldn't believe she was here.

They walked inside his dark apartment. He didn't bother flipping on the light switch for Annie. He wanted her to know what his world felt like.

He heard her grunt when she crashed into his coffee table. He almost laughed when he heard the language she used.

A smile spread across his face. "There's a lamp to the left of you."

"Thanks," she muttered after she felt around and finally located it.

She watched Auggie in awe after getting out of the cab. He entered his apartment building as if he could see. She followed him as her guide. He didn't ask for help. He was confident.

She wondered how long it took for him to adjust to being blind. Then she felt regret for not being there for him.

After a hesitant moment, she decided to sit next to him on the leather sofa.

"I missed you," she softly said.

He laughed bitterly. "Why did you leave then? Why did you take off after a night of making love?"

Annie paused, knowing she couldn't answer him the way he wanted.

He turned to face her, heatedly. "Why did you leave after we said our vows and pledged our lives together?"

Annie looked down at the diamond studded band on her left hand. She moved his hand on top of it. "It's still here. I never took it off."

Auggie shook his head. "That's supposed to make me feel better? I'm no longer playing your games Annie Walker."

He added, "It's good you came back. Now I can get that divorce I've been wanting for two years."

"We're not getting a divorce Auggie," Annie said in a matter of fact tone she didn't believe. "I know you still love me…."

When he didn't reply she said, "I'll never regret anything more than not being with you for the last two years. I will tell you…I promise. I…just have to…"

"Do what?" Auggie asked. "Why are you acting like you have to get clearance from someone to talk to me? I'm your husband!"

Auggie felt Annie stiffen next to him. It couldn't be?

"Annie," he whispered, reaching out toward her. She couldn't be connected to his world?

He felt her coming seconds before she pressed her lips to his. Resistance was futile when the feeling of having his wife in his arms again overtook him.

He could never resist her. She was a vice he couldn't do away with, no matter how many times she hurt him.

"We are not back together," he firmly said as they pulled at each other's clothing.

"Understood," she said as she kissed a pleasure filled trail down his chest. "I still love you though."

"So you say." After a pause…Auggie couldn't give in, "I still want you."

Her smile disappeared, she was no longer confident. She pressed a kiss to his ear before whispering, "Do you still love me?"

He smirked as he slid down her bra straps, "I thought you were so sure I still loved you."

When he felt her hesitant movement, he knew he couldn't hurt her without hating himself. He could picture the sadness entering her eyes, even if he couldn't see it.

"I love you," he finally gave in. He kissed her fully on the mouth. "I've never loved anyone as much as I love you. I never will."

He pressed her down on the sofa. He could feel her smile into their kiss. Her smile made his heart flutter.

Damn…he thought.

She was his weakness…

He was damning himself yet again when he woke up the next morning and found her gone.

He should have learned from the first time, he thought to himself as he clicked on his laser cane and walked the halls of the CIA.

It would probably be another two years before he saw his so-called wife again…

So imagine his surprise when he strolled into Joan's office and smelled Jo Malone Grapefruit.

The sound of Joan's necklace signaled her approach to him. "Auggie-" she said.

Auggie ignored her. He turned to the source of the perfume and zeroed in on his wife.

Annie's eyes widened as he took her by the shoulders. He softly pushed her back against the wall. He wanted to squeeze her in relief, but also in despair.

"I knew it," he said with a smirk, but the look in his eyes was deadly. "How long have you been keeping this from me? How long have you been in the CIA?"

Annie stuttered out her answer. "A-Auggie. I don't know what is going on, but what are you doing here? How did you know to find me?"

"Stop the act Annie," Auggie forcibly said. "You had to know I was CIA too."

"Actually she didn't," Joan simply said.

Now Annie and Auggie finally turned in Joan's direction.

"Joan, what the hell is going on here?" Annie asked. "You kept me undercover for two years! And now I find out you knew about Auggie and I?"

"I told you before Annie. It was foolish of you to get married at the start of an op!" Joan said with no regrets. "When you tried to get out of the mission and told me you wanted to leave the CIA because you got married…. I investigated and found you married Auggie."

"What?" Auggie asked, shocked and angry. If he could murder his boss and get away with it, he would have. "Joan, why didn't you tell me? All this time I wondered what happened to her."

"Look, Annie wanted out," Joan said. "You don't leave the CIA until we let you. Annie's assignment was crucial- she'll tell you that! If I told her you were CIA too it would have distracted her. She would have thought it was okay to call you, compromising your safety and hers."

"I can't believe you!" Annie shouted. "Did you ever think if Auggie and I knew it would have given us peace of mind? He spent two years thinking I left him because I didn't love him. He didn't know that Jai Wilcox forced me to leave that night under Arthur's orders!"

Auggie wanted to punch a wall after hearing that.

Annie was nearly hyperventilating, "My God…you didn't even tell me Auggie went blind! How could you do this to us Joan? You and Arthur! I thought you were better than he is!"

Annie rushed out of the office with tears streaming her eyes.

She didn't realize Auggie was on her trail until she found herself in a small courtyard.

"We have to talk," Auggie firmly said.

He reached out for her hand.

She took it.

"Let's get one thing straight Annie Anderson," Auggie said.

Annie feared the worst, even as he surprisingly used her married name.

"If you ever leave me like that again….we're over," he said.

Annie released the breath she was holding. "I'm sorry…I needed to talk to Joan about-"

"No excuses," Auggie firmly said. "Now, do you promise?"

"I promise." Annie said.

"Good," Auggie said, taking control of the situation. He pressed a short kiss to her lips. "Now let's talk…"
