YAY! Well, I've written stories for Harry Potter and Life with Derek, so I've decided I'd give a few of my favorite crime shows a go! This one is for Covert Affairs, and IF AND ONLY IF people like it and request that I keep it going, then I'll continue this story.

Disclaimer: OMG I WISH that it was even a POSSIBILITY to own AUGGIE let alone the whole SHOW! Unfortunately all my lamps are genie-less! However, if I were to own the show, you KNOW I would put more shirtless Auggie in there, like, it'd be a REQUIREMENT for him to be shirtless. Also, I'm an A-squared pairer. YAY

Summary: Unfortunately, the muse fairies are withholding information as two fairies take hold of my hand and a third blindfolds me. I have NO idea what's going to happen haha!

CA*************************************************************************CA

Sitting at his desk, blind tech-operative August "Auggie" Anderson was frustrated, tired, annoyed, and impatiently waiting for a phone call. He kept swiveling in his chair in circles, clicking his toungue and fiddling with his laser cane while the other tech-workers tried to focus on their jobs. Of these workers, Stu was having the most difficult time focusing. Auggie was Stu's mentor, but he was also one of Auggie's friends, therefore, the most likely in the room to survive telling Auggie that he was being distracting. Just because Auggie's blind does NOT mean he was unable to kick some serious ass.

"Auggie? Seriously, she'll call when she gets there!" Stu said, keeping out of the blind man's arm distance.

"I know this, Stu, now get back to work!" Auggie said, frustrated.

"We are TRYING to Aug-man, but you're kind of distracting everyone here, ya know. Maybe you should go get some coffee?"

"Shut up Stu, you know I have to be here when she calls," Auggie says, even more aggitatedly.

"You know better than I do that it takes longer than ten minutes to get where she's going, Boss. She won't be there for at LEAST another two hours."

"Are you trying to boss your boss around, Stu?"

"No, he's just suggesting you should take a walk to clear your head, you know, burn some of that energy out," Conrad, another member of the tech departments recruits joined in, apparently deciding that the boss wasn't going to take a swing. The man may be blind, but he was still scarily accurate when it came to throwing punches.

Auggie was quiet a moment, setting Conrad and Stu on edge just a little bit. The two men jumped back in suprise and slight fear when Auggie suddenly stood, "You know, you're right. I'll be back in ten. I best hear some progress has been made by the time I get back," and with that, Auggie left through the glass doors and down the hall. He was headed to the coffee room when he smelt a strong cologn. He turned around to avoid the offending scent, but the voice of the wearer called his name.

"Auggie! Didn't expect you to be away from your desk," Jai Wilcox said in a slightly cocky manner, "Aren't you usually glued there when your better half is on a mission?"

"Hey Wilcox. I was, but I was out for some coffee at the urging of the rest of the guys. Apparently I'm distracting them, or something," Auggie wasn't sure why he was admitting this to the arrogant pretty boy, but for some reason, he was too distracted to care.

"Well you do get antsy whenever Annie is on a mission."

"I do? And here I thought I was Mr. Congeniality," Auggie's snarky retort was aided with a sarcastic smirk.

"No, Auggie, I mean it. It's like you get super nervous when she's away from you. Really antsy and on edge," Jai seemed to ignore the bait.

"Well you try having someone depend on you in a crisis. You try having someone's life in your hands. Especially your best friends's life. Annie's not exactly known for keeping things simple. I thought you'd be well aware."

"Of course I am. You're not the only one who cares about her, Auggie. I just don't see why you are already stuck on hypertension mode. If I didn't know any better, I'd say it's almost as if you two were already..." Jai trailed off.

"Almost as if we were already...what? Spit it out Wilcox."

"Nothing. Nevermind. I have a briefing with Joan. See ya around, Auggie," Jai quickly walked off, leaving Auggie thuroughly confused.

After getting his cup of coffee, Auggie checked his watch and listened to the robotic voice. He did the math in his head and figured Annie's plane wouldn't land for another hour and fourty five minutes anyhow, so he went down to Annie and Auggies special place to think. He couldn't count how many times one of them would find the other watching the water fountain. Sometimes it was to think, sometimes it was to mourn, and other times it was just to feel the calming effects after a hard day, but it quickly became "their spot" second only to their favorite table at Allen's Tavern.

Auggie wasn't sure what to think about when he got there, so for a moment he let his mind go blank. The sound of rushing water soothed his anxieties until he was almost at complete peace. Almost. He gave up a long time ago denying that the only way he could be completely at peace was when she was there. When Annie was there, laughing with him.

From the day she walked in the CIA building and introduced herself, she had his attention. He wasn't sure if it was the way she introduced herself and shook his hand, the way she was more amazed that a blind man worked for the CIA rather than suprised, the way she laughed at his joke about a blind man showing her the way around, or the way she first was curious about his headphones than his lack of site, but she had his full attention.

She asked him if her Jo Malone perfume was too much. She liked Mingus. She was optimistic. She got his sense of humor and knew how to bite back. She didn't act awkward around him. She was excited by everything he could tell her and every opportunity to do something active. She hated paperwork and deskwork as he did. She wasn't easy to manipulate. She was reserved on some things, but pretty open, otherwise.

Everything about her was agreeable to him, for some odd reason. He couldn't pinpoint it, but at some point, they become fast friends and inseperable. They made a great team as operative and handler. They could somehow almost just know what the other was thinking or was going to do. And admist all of this, Auggie knew that one way or another, she'd always find a way to put a creative spin on things.

He couldn't count the times they'd helped eachother out, in and outside work. He didn't know how to tell her no, and it seemed she knew no boundaries when it came to helping him, including going on an off-books side mission on her day off. He knew about her past, and she'd listened without judgement about his. There really was no walls between them, and for the life of him, Auggie could not understand how that had happened. Somewhere between her first day and now, August Anderson had somehow fallen in love with his best friend.

"Auggie Anderson, didn't expect to see you down here," He heard the voice and footsteps of Arthur Campbell. Auggie didn't turn around, there would be no point. Instead, he just replied in a respectful joke.

"Yeah, well there was a mutany and I got kicked out for being distracting," He half-heartedly laughed.

Arthur chuckled and sat down next to Auggie on the bench. "Yeah, I was like that once too. Apparently I was too fidgity and impatient whenever Joan would go on missions."

"And I do not see how that applys here. You were dating Joan and then you married her. It makes sense that you were fidgity and impatiet. Joan's you're wife. Annie's just my best friend."

"And? Don't think everyone else is blind too, Auggie, pardon the pun. I think the only one you're fooling is Annie herself. Everyone else can see how you feel about her. And I do mean everyone. Want some advice from someone who's been there? Take the chance. Joan and I started out as best friends too you know," and Auggie heard him stand up and walk away, leaving Auggie to digest the words' meaning.

MEANWHILE

Jai Wilcox walked into Joan Campbell's office for a briefing, head held high and confident. Not everybody got to have a personal briefing on a confidential mission, and right now, Jai felt he was finally getting the recognition he deserved. What he didn't expect, was to see Reeva Cline talking with Joan.

"Sorry, I thought we had a meeting scheduled for now...guess I got the times mixed up," he tried to back out of the office.

"No, Jai, this is Reeva's briefing too. Come in and sit down," Joan's tone was not to be challenged, so Jai obliged and Joan handed him a file identical to one that Reeva was already holding.

"Now, as you both know, there is some trouble brewing down in Cuba. I'm sending you both in undercover to gather intel and do some landscaping. The mission should last no more than two weeks and you have until seven thirty tonight to prepare yourselves. That will be all." Joan dismissed them.

Walking out the door the pair opened their files and immediately their eyes widend with shock with the word they both zeroed in on at the same time.

"NEWLYWEDS?" The pair's jaw dropped and they could both swear they saw a small smile playing on Joan's lips as she shut the door on their shocked faces.
