"Colette just listen-"
"No! YOU listen!" she snapped furiously, before heaving a heavy frustrated sigh. She closed her bright blue eyes to calm herself down, and her crossed arms seemed to hold on to each other or else she'd perhaps hit him.
"They're sending a consultant, Daniel. " she murmured to him once she had finally calmed down. Daniel had never really seen Colette worry, especially over a mission, which by then was starting to worry him. Was it really anything that bad to worry just because a consultant was significantly required?
"So?" was the only world he ended up tumbling out of all the ones floating through his mind. He could've asked why she was even bothering at worrying, or just what type of a mission it was anyways for apparently they weren't supposed to be informed until twenty four hours from now. Yet somehow she knew, typical Ferro. She was quite the sneaky woman who could overhear some things easily like a spy, and her short stature helped when trying to remain hidden.
"So? ! Why a consultant of all things for trained and experienced United States Colonial Marines for God's sake? ! For something that's a supposed search and rescue mission! Daniel, what if there's a danger out there that we don't know about?" Colette was practically shaking while crying out the words. More and more this contribued to Daniel becoming even more worried. Plus it was the fact he hated seeing his girlfriend in pain or fear. Whenever she cried it was he who wiped away her tears, when she screamed he would kick the ass of the thing she feared of, after all this time even if she would never ask he'd still do any of those things.
Then again Colette was always so paranoid and naïve. He could ony watch and knew that right after this mission she would realize she ended up worrying over nothing.
Daniel grasped ahold of Colette's shoulders, gently but firmly all at once for her to case shaking. When she did, her bright blue eyes that were large and doe shaped looked right into his hazel ones with an outpour of so many emotions and words. Particularly a sentence that otherwise spoke 'Whatever you're about to say, I hope you're right.'
"Now listen. We've had those plenty of other times, just can't name an example off the top of my head. Colette, everything's going to be just fine." he closed his eyes and sighed, before leaning in to kiss her lips softly but passionately.
As brief as it was, the moment was savioured. Colette held Daniel close, grasping onto his shirt as if she feared something would pull her away from him, which was apparently something related to her sudden fear. Just in case fo satisfy her, he enclosed his arms around her tiny waist to make her feel safe while temptation aroused the couple to deepen their kiss. Sadly they had to pull away for they knew now wasn't the time for...things like that. (As far as the others knew, they were only strictly professional and just friends.)
"I promise." he whispered, the tone distantly sad as he pulled away and looked into her still-fearful eyes.
This chapter made my heart falter sadly. I'm going to dread getting to get to their deaths- Christ this is as sad for me as the deaths of Remus and Tonks, my favorite Harry Potter couple. :'(
Seriously, just wondering and I'll totally do this, do you want me to do an AU little one-shot as well? I'm so tempted but I like to hear what my readers have to say. :)
