I do not own Scorpion.

Happy was not afraid of thunder and lightning. If she was, she refused to admit it. But as the rain dripped down her bedroom window and lightning lit up the dimly lit room, she crushed herself into Toby's body. He wrapped his arms around her tighter in his sleep, a habit he'd had since they started sleeping in the same bed. Thunder shook the air vents through their apartment, making Happy cringe and bury her face in Toby's chest at the sound. Toby kissed her forehead.

"Are you okay sunshine?" he murmured. She nodded against his chest.

"Just don't let me go."

"Never." He swore, pulling her tighter against him. She kissed his chest and settled back into a comfortable silence. "Do you want to watch a Furious marathon?" he mumbled. She looked up at him smiling.

"You remember?"

Three Years Before

As the rain poured down and a roll of thunder crashed loudly, Happy wanted nothing more than crawl into her bed and throw a blanket over her head. As another flash of lightning went off, her cell phone rang. "Hello?" she answered.

"You okay?" It was Toby. Happy sighed. He was the only one she'd told about her slight aversion to thunder and lightning. He had figured it out before she even vocalized her childish fear.

"I guess. I don't like it but I'll survive."

"Do you want me to come over? I'll bring popcorn and we'll watch movies? I'm not doing anything anyways." he suggested.

"That sounds great." She was glad she wouldn't have to sit in her apartment alone as lightning lit up the empty rooms.

"Okay. I'll be there in twenty minutes."

"Okay." She hung up then went into her room, changing into black leggings and an oversized hoodie. Another roll of thunder went off as she padded back into her living room in bare feet. She cringed and turned the TV and Netflix on. Toby would arrive any moment. After a few more minutes of sitting on the couch under a big blanket, the doorbell rang. She got up and shuffled towards the door. Toby stood at the door with a big brown paper bag in his arms.

"Hey you." He said. Happy smiled.

"Hey." She replied, "Come on in." Happy pulled him into the apartment. He set the bag on the counter in the kitchen and pulled out a box of popcorn, a Sprite, a Vanilla Coke Zero, and a few bags of candy.

"For our movie marathon m'lady." Toby said, winking at her. Happy rolled her eyes but secretly loved it.

"Thank you." She said quietly.

"For what? Bringing junk food?" he teased. She laughed and leaned against the counter as Toby put a bag of popcorn in her microwave and grabbed a big plastic bowl from the cupboard. "That bad?" he asked. She nodded slowly.

"I woke up to thunder and lightning and rain. I'm just glad you're here." She replied honestly. He made eye contact with her, noting her slightly dilated pupils.

"Always her Hap. You know that." She shrugged.

"I know.

"You never have to worry about that. I promise." He swore solemnly. Her stomach knotted a little at his promise, but she admonished herself for even acknowledging it. The microwave beeped loudly, drawing Toby's attention from her as he poured the steaming popcorn into the bowl. He grabbed the rest of the snacks and walked past her into the living room. She paused for a moment before following him into the other room and dropping onto the couch next to the behaviorist. They kicked their feet up on the coffee table simultaneously. Toby grinned at her out of the corner of his eye and let her pick the movie. She settled on Fast and Furious and grabbed the bowl of popcorn, relaxing against the couch cushions. They gravitated towards each other as their marathon progressed, hands wandering across the wide expanse of cushions between their warm bodies. His fingers grazed over hers. Happy flipped her hand over, palm up, as a pass for him to continue. He grinned and traced the lines in her palm, finally coming to lace their fingers. Their hands remained intertwined for the last movie, until See You Again played through her television speakers. Happy looked over to the man sitting next to her, asleep with his head leaned back against the couch cushions. The thunder and lightning had subsided into a steady rainfall against her windows. Her apartment was silent, save the soundtrack from the movie. She got up, letting his fingers fall back on the couch cushion as she walked into the kitchen with the long empty popcorn bowl. When she returned from washing the dishes, the couch was empty with a note on the previously occupied cushion.

Thanks for being my movie buddy Hap. Call me if you need me back over. x Toby

Happy smiled as she read the note, letting her shield down slightly to the Doc.
