Hey,... I saw the sneak preview for the opening of episode 14 and I couldn't stop myself from writing this.

Summary : Ward telling Skye what he needs.
xox
"Hey."
Ward leaned closer to his Rookie as she lay still and unconscious on the bed. Ward tried to ignore the different sounds that emitted from the various machines that are keeping his Rookie alive.
"I don't know if you can hear me. But when do you do anyway, Rookie?" Ward gave a choked little laugh as he gently stroked Skye's hair.
"I'm going have to leave you in a few minutes. But I need to tell you a few things.
"Coulson may have found a way to safe you. We are going to get whatever it is that you need to wake up. I'm giving you my permission to annoy the hell out of me the minute you do.
"Scrap that. I'm ordering you to annoy me when you wake up. I swear I'll make you run around the Bus if you dare to defy my order, Rookie."
Ward clenched his fingers to prevent him from shaking her awake.
"Hey, I know Fitz is the technology specialist. But I'm going to miss your quirky and unorthodox way of hacking into the systems on this mission. He is blaming himself for not stopping you. But I know you wouldn't blame him. You are probably blaming yourself right now.
"Stop it you hear. Stop it, I say.
"I bet you are laughing at me now for ordering someone in a coma. Simmons was right. As if anyone could stop you from doing anything that you've set your mind to.
"But here's the deal. I'm your SO. You blame me. You got that, Rookie? You blame me."
Ward rested his forehead against hers.
"Simmons is a mess. You've made her cry buckets already. She's worried about you. All of us are. But I know you two are like sisters. She did great with yelling at us or we wouldn't have a clue of how to get you back.
"You stop breathing, Rookie. I told you to stop talking. Not stop breathing."
He wiped away his tears that fell on her cheek. Ward took a deep breath and told Skye tightly. "We are taking Simmons too. So don't get any ideas about making those machines sound funny, ok?"
"I have a feeling that May is the last person you would be looking for. I don't really know what's going on between the two of you. But in her own way, she must care about you, Skye. That is why she is kind of busy beating the crap out of Quinn right now.
"She beat your SO to it. Sucks. I know. But I'll get my chance later. I needed to talk to you first.
He pressed a kiss on her brow. He didn't want to lift his lips from her.
"Didn't figure me a talker, huh?" Ward wiped another of his tear that fell on her cheek again.
"I gotta go now Skye. I'll come back as soon as we get whatever it is that you need. Don't try anything funny ok?"
Ward choked on his tears as he lay a kiss on her temple.
"I was a fool to not take what you offered that night in the bar. And I'm not making the same mistake again."
Ward shut his eyes tight from letting more tears to fall as he whispered fiercely in her ear.
"I need more than just your shoulder, Skye."
His voice was husky and broken when he said.
"I need you, Rookie."
THE END
