A/N: So this is a fluff piece one-shot set right before Finding My Way to You. Thanks to .Tones who gave me the prompt.

"Benny!" Shelby squealed as she became impatient with not knowing where he was currently leading her, blindfolded. She hated surprises.
"Come on, babe! Don't you trust me?"
"Of course I trust you, but I hear water and I wouldn't put it past you to think it was funny and push me into it!"
"You know that doesn't sound like such a bad idea," he stated thoughtfully and she stopped dead in her tracks he laughed slightly. "I'm just kidding. I promise to not push you into any water….. at least while you are blindfolded."
Shelby sighed, knowing it was the best she was going to get. "Fine."
"Ok stop…. You can take off your blindfold now." She did so quickly before looking at the sight that amazed her. There, right in front of her, sat a giant swing set with two swings empty and just waiting to be sat in. She looked back at him and smiled. "I know you said that you loved swinging when you were a kid, how it distressed you when you were a teenager, and I just thought with you being stressed all this week that I would bring you here and, you now, we could swing. And this is a pretty secluded spot so there is no chance of running into your VA kids an-"
"Benny, it's perfect. Thank you," she whispered as she straightened up to kiss him. "Swing with me?" she asked as she laced their fingers.
"Of course."
They finally reached the swing set and sat in the swings, both kicking off and relishing in the wind that blew across their faces. After they had been swinging for nearly thirty minutes, Benny looked over at the woman sitting next to him. He watched as the love of his life swung back and forth, closing her eyes and lifting her smiling face to the sky. He loved watching her like this. When she was completely herself, no pretenses, no show faces, nothing but her…. his Shelby. Feeling a sudden rush of emotions, he jumped out of his swing (without her noticing) and walked to her side. Abruptly he stopped her swing causing it to turn her body into him.
Without missing a beat he threaded his fingers into the hair immediately behind her ear, cradling her neck the way he knew that she loved, "I love you," he whispered before attacking her mouth with his own. She immediately responded, standing up to deepen the kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him to her. It wasn't until she felt the cool metal of the swing set brace against her back that she pulled away.
"I love you too," she whispered as he leant his forehead on hers, kissing her nose. "Thank you so much. I loved my surprise….. but can we go home now?"
He chuckled and she could feel the rumble through her chest, which only made her heart rate skyrocket. "Of course." He then laced their fingers and they made their way back to the car.
