Author's Notes: I needed prompts and decided to be a total nerd about acquiring them. So, there are 43 CA Episode titles. I used a random integer generator to produce a random list of numbers 1 through 43 and am using the title of the ep that matches the integer as a prompt for that day. There will be no link back to the original episode, simply a prompt for a new fic.
In addition, as you likely know, each title is also a song title, so I am pulling one line from the equivalent song and making one of our characters use it in the story.
Sound fun? I hope you enjoy.
All stories are post 3X16 established kissiness. And let's be fair here I am all about the Annie/Auggie nakedness these days, so I am rating this T just to be safe.
Random #: 24
Episode Title: A Girl Like You
Song Line: "I'm too weak to put up a fight"
"You have to stop getting beaten up Walker," Auggie said his breathing just slightly labored as they bobbed around each on the on the mat.
"Tell that to the bad guys will you, I am not a fan of the ER thank you very much," she jabbed at the mitts he held up.
"I'm serious Annie you aren't always going to be so lucky and walk away with a muscle pull or a minor sprain," he had that look on his face that made her melt.
"Don't give me the puppy dog face Auggie," she jabbed a little harder.
"That is the 2nd time you have compared me to a dog," he laughed as he circled around her again.
"Oh Auggie I believe I have made my thoughts on your level of attractiveness quite clear, don't go fishing for compliments," she kept pace as he moved faster.
"Luckily I have a very high opinion of myself," he smirked.
"Yeah, your delicate ego shouldn't need to be stroked."
"Gloves off Walker, let's do the takedown combinations again. I am not clearing you for field duty until you can drop someone twice your size," Auggie instructed retreating for water.
He wasn't kidding about testing her before sending her back in the field. Usually Auggie would let up and break so she could take him down, but he countered everything she had for over half an hour. Finally, both of them were sweating profusely and taking longer to catch their breath.
"OK, I have actual work to do today, are you going to let me win?" Annie pouted.
"Where is the sport in that?" he knit his brows together and then swept her feet out from under her.
"Owww, Auggie," she nearly whined.
"In this room you do not get to whine Walker, you do not get to make me feel bad for pushing you your hardest and you do not get to play the girlfriend card. In order to keep from going crazy with worry I have to know you are as prepared as possible for the bad guys," he rationalized as he offered her a hand to help her back up.
"I know, but I thought sparring would be more fun now that we are, you know?" she reset her stance and touched his shoulders so he would know where she was.
"So you thought I would go easier on you because we are sleeping together?"
"When you put it like that it sounds silly," her hands were still on his shoulders.
"It's just illogical, you getting hurt is the last thing I have ever wanted, but possibly even more now," he turned his head and a bead of sweat fell from the edge of his hair onto her arm and she shivered.
"I know," she squeezed his shoulders and prepared for the sequence.
"But…"
"There's a but?" she smiled.
"While I will not go easier on you in the gym, we could leverage our relationship as an incentive," he shrugged.
"How?"
"The next person to succeed in a full takedown and pin gets whatever they want…" he trailed off.
"Anything?" she whispered.
"Anything," he confirmed.
"You're on," she set again and they began.
It worked, as Annie managed to block a couple moves that Auggie had succeeded with earlier. The sequence went much longer than either expected until finally Annie saw an opening and succeeded in dropping him, despite her fatigue her reflexes were quick and sure enough she had him pinned in seconds.
"Nice work Miss Walker," Auggie commended as he caught his breath.
"Thanks for the motivation," she kissed him quickly and jumped off him sooner than he would have liked.
"Speaking of motivation?' he murmured in her ear as she helped him off the mat.
"I will spend the whole afternoon thinking up my wish, be prepared," she whispered back and left him standing there alone.
***555***
"I must be getting old," Auggie declared later that night as he collapsed on the couch.
"Huh?" Annie asked as she sat next to his prone form.
"That workout today killed me," he groaned a little and rubbed at his shoulder.
"Does that mean you are reneging on our wager?" she asked as she replaced his hand with her own and continued massaging his shoulder for him.
"No, no not at all, I promised you anything you want and I am a man of my word. So what did you have in mind?" his voice had dropped as he tugged her closer and kissed her.
"Rum raisin," she murmured between kisses.
"What?" he asked confused and slightly dazed from the kissing.
"Or Rocky Road," she altered her answer.
"We're discussing ice cream flavors right, not some weird new sex thing you read about in Cosmo?" he looked truly confused.
"I haven't read Cosmo since college and yes we are discussing ice cream flavors. I want ice cream from that place on the corner, the expensive place with the quadruple butter fat content ice cream that is like heaven on a spoon," she moaned.
"Let me get this straight, I am offering you anything, anything you could want and you want ice cream?"
"Yep, this is supposed to be my reward not yours, sex is mutually beneficial. I want ice cream and I intend to eat it in front of you while you listen to how much I enjoy it," she poked him to get up.
"I guess that makes sense in your female brain and I am too weak to put up a fight, so ice cream it shall be," he stood and went in search of his wallet and his cane.
The End
