Part 2
Nikita gasped not sure if she had heard Alex right. When Alex was in Division she had spent many a night evading sleep in favour of thinking about her, the safe house was so empty without her and she'd look at the empty bed next to hers and wish that Alex's delicate form was lying there staring back at her.
"What did you say?" Nikita asked slowly pulling away from Alex so she could look at her properly. Alex's tears had smeared her mascara all down her cheeks and Nikita's body reacted on instinct and reached out wiping the mascara away with the sleeve of her top. Alex hiccupped and sniffed as she tried to keep her tears under control
"I need you" Alex told her again in a small voice " I need to hear your voice every day, I need to have you look at me with that look you so often give me, I need you to smile at me when I finally pin you like you did the first time I did it, I need to feel your arms wrapped around me because when you do I feel safe and protected and that no army however big could ever get to me, I need everything about you Nikita and just the thought of you not being here scares the shit out of me!"
Nikita can't help the tears that spring to her eyes, she never thought Alex would be saying these things to her, and never in a million years did she think her heart would beat so fast for someone else.
Nikita had felt something for Alex ever since she found her lying on the ground after taking an overdose of pills. In that moment Nikita promised herself she would do anything in her power to keep her safe even if that meant death and when Alex suggested she enter Division Nikita's heart broke because she knew if Alex ever got out she wouldn't be the same, she would be trained to hide her emotions and never let them get in the way, but Nikita loved Alex the way she was, she loved that Alex showed her emotions so easily it made it easy for her to know what made Alex happy.
Nikita stepped closer to Alex and gently brushed the strands of hair out of her face and tucked them behind her ear. A small smile crept across Alex's features and Nikita couldn't help the smile that formed on hers, everything about Alex warmed Nikita's heart, her smile was like sunshine and when her smile was directed at Nikita she swears she could feel her legs go weak. Alex's skin was soft and at every chance she got Nikita would touch it; she never tired of the feel of her skin under her fingertips and Alex's voice was like music to Nikita's ears; she could sit there and listen to her all day.
"I need you too" Nikita breathed out and a tear escaped from her eye, Alex's heart swelled at the sight before "Alex you have to know everything I do I do to keep you safe and if that means facing Michael unarmed then I'll do it without a second thought...I can never let anything happen to you because..." Alex stepped forward and cupped Nikita's cheeks gently stroking her soft skin "because what?" Alex whispered out her heart beating a million times a minute. Nikita averted her eyes for a second and then looked at Alex sucking in a big breath "because I love you!" Nikita's eyes darted away from Alex's quickly; suddenly embarrassed by her confession she had kept it bottled up for so long, she didn't want Alex to feel pressured into doing something.
Alex's smile reached her eyes for the first time she had been upgraded to Agent. She couldn't believe that Nikita had just uttered those words she dreamed of coming out of her mouth. She leaned forward and softly pressed her lips to Nikita's it was a quick, tender kiss but it conveyed everything they were feeling and Nikita couldn't help the sigh that escaped her lips when Alex pulled away. Her eyes snapped open when Alex repeated what she had just said to her "I love you too!"
