Sorry for the delay! Real life happened - again - so I wasn't able to post it earlier.

Sets during season 2, but before the whole Linda/Tim drama.

I didn't review this. Again, if anyone is up to review my fics for me, shout out! hahaha

C - Convenient

I don't own Scorpion *sighs*

"It's… convenient."

She says and she can feel Toby's skeptical look directed at her.

"Paige, come on," He says again, nudging her with his elbow, "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, but at least don't lie to yourself like that."

"I don't have to tell you?" She says mockingly.

"I'll find out anyway, but sure, you don't." He says and she smiles at him anyway. "But don't change the subject, Miss Dineen."

She rolls her eyes at him, before turning to look at the sight in front of her.

Walter is helping Ralph with one of his science projects. They are building something from the scratch (she makes a mental note to ask Walter about it again), so they came back to the garage after picking up Ralph from school.

They had lunch before returning, but that's their secret.

They've been doing that a lot, lately. Picking up Ralph from school, having lunch, sometimes dinner at her place and, when they don't, she makes dinner for them at the garage. Sometimes it's with everyone else, but most of the times it's always Walter, Ralph and herself.

When they stay in the garage, Walter makes her call him the minute they are safe inside her apartment. At first, she tried to tell him that it wasn't necessary but he only had to give her one look. After that, she calls him every night. Sometimes, it's a brief conversation. The other times, she finds herself having long, deep conversations with him.

All the times though, she can almost her the longing on his voice. The tries to convince herself that no, it's not possible, but every time she hangs up, she knows that it's there.

(Maybe because she's longing for it too. Maybe.)

And, if she's being honest with herself, it's always nice to know that someone cares for them that way.

She must have stared for a while because next thing she knows, she finds Walter looking at her. He smiles softly at her, the smile that's reserved for her only, and she smiles back.

"Convenient my ass." Toby mutters behind her, leaving her alone with her thoughts.

Yeah, she thinks, as Walter winks at her, convenient his ass.

Reviews are appreciated!
