Skye fumbled for the alarm, only to find that it was now gone from her bedside table. The loud, irritating noise made her finally open her eyes to find herself in grants room. She rolled over to see his large sleeping form, one hand wrapped around her waist and one under her. Then it all came back to her, Mcallister, the mission and of course finally telling Ward she loved him. She didn't understand why Agent Ward hadn't awoken to his usual 5am alarm but she could find it in her to care. So, with that in mind she reached over his gorgeous body and turned it off. Falling back into a deep sleep.
Grant woke up to the smell of Skye's shampoo, apple of course. It amazed him, how much he could care about just one person. He knew her like the back of his hand. She was his impression of perfect. Her sarcasm, untidiness, he loved everything about her. There really is a thin line between love and hate, he thought. He can't fathom a world without her, not now. Not ever. The urge to protect her from anything that was a possible threat was overwhelming. Grant had always been protective of the ones he loved. He was finally coming to terms with the fact that this was his family, his amazing, dangerous little family and he loved each and every one of them. He looked over at his clock to see that he'd slept in. It was now 7am, he knew he should've got up and went for a workout but just one look at his rookies face and he knew he was staying put. As much as she needs him to protect her, he needs her too. He knows he wouldn't have made it out of Russia alive if it wasn't for her and Simmons. She's got his back as much as he's got hers. He knows she's got a lot of secrets, a lot of stories to tell but he won't push. She'll tell him in her own time. He lay back down and stroked her hair. Yeah, he can definitely wait.
I know it's short, I just felt like writing some fluff! Hope you like it!
