Oh. My. GOD! I am fangirling to oblivion tonight! Chloe Bennet replied to one of my tweets! I wrote, "I'm a normal teenage girl. I fangirl over things like Agents of SHIELD, Chloe Bennet, and especially Brett Dalton. So, I'm normal. Sorta." And tonight and I see she replied saying, (And I quote) "I fangirl over Brett too. It's totally normal."
AHHHHH! I can't believe she said that! That's so AWESOME! So, I'm writing this chapter because of my fangirly mood tonight. Hope you enjoy! Warning: this chapter contains excessive Skyeward fluffiness. You have been warned.
Grant's POV
I got up and opened my eyes. I felt something on my chest. I was about to go into attack mode when I saw it was Skye sleeping on my chest. She looked so peaceful sleeping. I could see why Drew went crazy for her. Looking at her now, she looked like she just stepped out of a painting of an angel. I was crazy for her too, but I wouldn't do anything to hurt her. What he did was just fucking wrong. Those thoughts made me wrap a protective arm around Skye's waist. She stirred, but didn't wake up. I saw her smile in her sleep. Her smile just made her so much more beautiful.
There was a soft knock on the door and Coulson came into the room. "I'm about to interview Drew." He said, "I just thought maybe you and Skye wanted to be there."
I nodded, "I'll wake her. We'll be there in a few minutes, sir." He nodded and left. I know he thought of Skye as his own daughter and wanted nothing more than to make sure she was safe. I wanted to keep her safe too, but for a different reason. I guess that no matter what I say, I have to admit it. I'm in love with Skye. She was amazing in every way possible. Now, I just had to make sure Drew kept his distance.
I shook Skye a little. She groaned a little and lifted her head to look at me. "Grant?" She asked.
"Yeah, rookie." I said and she smiled a little, "Coulson is about to interview Drew. I thought you would want to see that."
"I did. Thank you." She said and got out of bed. She left to get changed and I got changed too. I met her outside my bunk. She was wearing a simple black tank top, skinny jeans with rips in them, and black high tops.
"Ready?" I asked her as I held out my hand for her.
"As I'll ever be." She replied and took my hand. I led her into the interrogation room. When she caught sight of Drew, she came closer to me and held onto my arm.
"Take your hands off her!" Drew yelled at me and tried to reach out, but the handcuffs restricted to the table, "She's mine!"
"No she's not!" I shouted back, "And I'm not the one who assaulted her!"
I was about to lunge at him again when Coulson stops me, "Ward, calm down." He ordered. I looked at Skye. She shook her head telling me not to hurt him. Not now, at least. She needed comfort and she was my first priority.
I went back over to her and wrapped my arm around her shoulders. She leaned into my chest, which resulted in Drew starring daggers at me and trying to get away again. "I got you, Skye." I whispered, "I'll kill him if he comes near you again." She nodded in response.
"I asked them to watch the interview." Coulson explained, "Now tell me exactly what the hell you did to Skye."
"I was trying to make her see the truth." He said. I felt Skye cry a few tears, "She said she's in love with this guy." My fists clenched at the sentence. Who the hell was Skye in love with? "When she really loves me. I was trying to make her see that."
"I don't love you!" Skye said through gritted teeth.
"Yes, you do." He said. At this point, I was about to blow this guy's brains out, "You're just lying to yourself. And even if you do love him, he'll never love you back. After all this? You're a basket case. No guy wants to deal with a basket case."
Skye's POV
"Yes, you do." Drew said. I was about to claw his eyes out, "You're just lying to yourself. And even if you do love him, he'll never love you back." That can't be true, can it? "After all this? You're a basket case. No guy wants to deal with a basket case."
Tears started streaming down my cheeks. He was right. I'm an emotional wreck. Why would Grant even think of loving me? He wouldn't want to deal with all the trauma I've gone through. Realizing this, I covered my mouth with my hand and ran out of the room. I could hear Grant calling me, but I refused to look back at the guy I would never have.
I finally made it to my bunk. I went in, closed the door and locked it. Turning around, I let myself slide against the door until I was on the floor. I pulled my knees up to my chest and let the tears pour out of me.
"Skye," I heard Grant's voice from outside the door, "Skye, open up." I didn't respond. My voice suddenly went away, "Listen to me. Drew was wrong. Any guy who doesn't see how amazing you truly are is an idiot." I sat up a little straighter. Did he just say I was amazing? Apparently he read my mind because he said, "And yes I did just say you were amazing. Skye, you're a talented, sweet, rebellious, beautiful girl. Any guy who doesn't realize all that doesn't deserve you."
I couldn't resist it anymore. I opened the door and threw my arms around his neck. He was shocked at first, but after a second wrapped his arms around my waist. I started crying onto his shoulder. "That is the sweetest and most thoughtful thing any guy has ever said to me." I told him through sobs.
"It's okay." He said as he stroked my hair, "It's gonna be alright."
We stayed in that position for who knows how long. I didn't care. Grant made me feel like I was a perfect girl when I believed I wasn't. He could make me smile on the worst days. He was the one I went to when I needed someone to talk to. He was there for me when I was convinced no one would ever be. After thinking of all these things, I came to one conclusion. I was totally and undeniably in love with Grant Ward.
Drew's POV
I looked up at the clock on the wall. It was about 11 o'clock at night. Listening closely, I figured everyone was in bed. It was now or never. I put my handcuffed wrists over my belt buckle. What Coulson hadn't realized is that my belt buckle had a tiny switch in it. Thank you, SHIELD. I activated it and unlocked the handcuffs. I went over to the door only to find it locked. Typical. I also had a technologically advanced watch. I waved my watch over the lock and it unlocked.
I stepped out of the room as quiet as a mouse. I went down to the main living area to find Skye asleep on the couch and Ward passed out on the chair next to her. Skye still looked like a goddess even when she was sleeping. The thing that made me grind my teeth in anger is that she was holding Ward's hand. What did she even see in him?
They both looked fast asleep but I wasn't taking any chances. I went over to Ward. Holding my watch in front of his face, it sprayed a kind of knockout gas and I was sure he would be unconscious for the next few hours. Skye stirred in her sleep and opened her eyes a little. "Grant?" She asked into the darkness. Oh, so she calls him by his first name? "Drew?!"
Before she could ask any questions, I sprayed her with the gas too and she flopped down on the couch again. I took her hand out of Ward's and lifted her up bridal style. Luckily, we had touched down a few hours ago, so the cargo hold was open. I opened one of the SHIELD vans and put her in the backseat. I hopped in the drivers seat and turned the key. The engine roared to life and I backed out of the bus.
As I was driving to the location only I knew, I kept thinking of how delusional Skye is. How the hell did she even think that she was in love with Ward? We were obviously meant for each other. She and Ward couldn't be more different. They would've never worked out. Us, on the other hand, would be together forever.
Skye was going to realize she's in love with me whether she likes it or not.
So, how'd you like it? I thought it was pretty good. Well, that's for you guys to decide.
Quote of the Day: You didn't love her. You just didn't want to be alone. Or maybe, maybe she was just good for your ego. Or, or maybe she made you feel better about your miserable life, but you didn't love her. Because you don't destroy people you love –Grey's Anatomy (Don't watch the show, but thought it was a cool quote)
