I uploaded this to my tumblr a few weeks ago and now seeing as I just uploaded my first Scorpion story and New Years has already passed, I should upload it now. I know it's a lot shorter but it was a new writing style for me.
Enjoy :)
The teams collective cheers have counted down to three when Toby feels a tapping on his shoulder. On two he turns around to see Happy staring back at him, there's a small smile dusted over her lips, and she's gazing directly up at him with eyes that seem to illuminate in the moonlight. On one he realizes how close she's standing, and just how nervous he is having Happy's complete attention like this.
Then cheer and calls of the new year ring out across the rooftop, and Toby has no time to think before Happy grabs him by the sides of his jacket and pulls his mouth to hers. It doesn't take the shrink long to react, his arm hooks around her waist, pulling her onto her toes as his other hand moves to gently cup her face. His mind is racing at a million miles per minute while everything they're doing seems to move in slow motion.
She tastes of something with a sweet hint, maybe something Paige or Megan had brought to drink. Toby doesn't know what it is, all he does know is that he likes it very much. He draws her in more, wanting as much of her as he can get before they would have to part ways.
He loses his mind when she tilts her head, capturing more of him, leaning her cheek into the warm touch of his hand, as hers slip from his chest and up towards his shoulders.
When she pulls back and returns to her feet, Toby slowly leans in with her, trying to savor what was only a few seconds to the rest of the word. His mouth is still hanging open like a goof, as he stares back down at her, believing that what just happened was too good to be true. Happy on the other hand looks amused, as her smile with one side higher than the other turn into smirk, her hands moving off him at her own leisurely pace.
The teams shows no sign that they saw the pairs intimate embrace, they were all too busy looking up at the sky. Giant cracks were heard throughout the city, quickly followed with bright colors dancing in the night sky, marking the start of a new year.
"Happy New Year, Happy," Toby whispers as his eyes drag away from hers and settle on the city's fireworks.
Happy turns to face the same direction as him, but keeps her back closely and gently pressing into his chest. This year Happy learnt that comfort from others wasn't something to be fearful of, and she was also now aware of who she preferred it from most.
Thank you for reading, and please review :)
