I may have two papers and a test this Friday but dammit, I have a public to answer to! Today's prompts are... "Do you wanna come upstairs/inside?" and "I can walk you home, if you'd like." This takes place a few months after Kay rescues Cam from prison... this is gonna be fun!
It had been a long day for everyone. They had managed to wrap a case that had gotten on everyone's nerves and now they were all back in the archive having their usual wrap-up parties but they were all just... tired and sat around telling stories, "And that's why Jordan had to dye his hair bright pink for a week." Gunter laughed.
"How long did it take to get it out?" Mike asked.
"Too long!" Jordan exclaimed.
Kay laughed then she took a look at her watch, "It's getting kind of late. I should be heading out."
Cameron raised his eyebrows, "You sure?"
"Yeah."
Mike then spoke up, "Wait, Kay, didn't you ride with me on the way here?"
"It's fine, my place isn't far. I could use the fresh air." She said taking her coat and putting it on.
"I can walk you home, if you'd like." Cameron offered.
Kay smiled, "It's fine Cam. You don't have to."
Cameron shook his head, "Nah. Besides I could use some fresh air too."
"Then I wouldn't mind the company."
Cam smiled grabbing his coat, "Let's go." As the two of them headed out the door, "I'll see you guys later."
Once Kay and Cameron were out of the room and out of earshot, Jordan spoke up, "Who wants to bet he's not coming back until tomorrow?"
"I'll take that action." Gunter said.
Mike raised an eyebrow and laughed, "Do they always do this?"
Dina laughed, "Oh, we always do this."
As Cameron and Kay walked through the streets, they were just having one of their gibberish-filled conversations, not really talking about anything important, just talking. They genuinely enjoyed each other's company. "So you're telling me that you'd rather wear a formal black suit everyday for the rest of your life than wear a clown suit for a day?" Cameron asked.
Kay laughed, "Yes. I would. Besides, a good suit can make anyone look good."
"Can't argue with that logic." They reached, Kay's building but neither of them wanted to say goodbye yet.
"Do you..." Kay started, "Do you wanna come inside?"
Cameron smirked, raising an eyebrow, "Kay Daniels, are you inviting me into your apartment?"
She rolled her eyes, "Yes. For coffee... that is if you want."
Cameron smiled, "I would like a cup of coffee" They both went up to Kay's apartment and Cameron took a look around, "Nice place."
"Thanks." She took off her coat as Cam did the same and walked over to the kitchen, "Anything specific you want in your coffee?"
"Maybe some sugar if you have it." Cameron said as he walked over.
"Sure thing." She said as she waited for the coffee pot.
Cameron leaned on the kitchen island, "So, I gotta ask you something if it's okay."
"Yeah, of course."
"Why did you ever agree to help me in the first place?"
Kay raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
"I mean... I don't think I really made a good first impression."
Kay chuckled, "Well, you were a little cocky and very high and mighty."
Cameron rolled his eyes, "Please don't hold back your true feelings." He joked.
The coffee pot dinged and Kay took out two mugs, "But I soon realized that... not only did you mean well but... you were sincere about wanting to help. I don't know, I guess you made it easy to trust you." He handed him his coffee, "Which is why it hurt when I thought I couldn't."
"It hurt when you didn't." Cameron said, taking a sip of his coffee, "The last thing I wanted to do was betray your trust."
Kay gave a small smile, "It's a good thing you didn't." She said taking a sip of her own coffee. Cameron smiled as he looked at Kay. She always made him feel better. He couldn't really imagine his life without her now... she gave him hope. Kay gave him a curious look, "What?"
Cameron shook his head, "Nothing... I just..." He pursed his lips, he had to take a chance, "Would you ever consider going out with me?"
Kay choked on her coffee, "W-what?"
Cameron sighed, "Kay, I-I have feelings for you... that go beyond friendship a-and if you don't feel the same way, I totally understand but... I had to tell you." Cameron noticed Kay giving him a look that he didn't recognize, "Kay?"
"S-so..." Kay looked down to her mug, "So, I'm not just another FBI agent to you?"
Cameron couldn't help but let out a chuckle, "No, of course not. Why would you think that?" Kay just looked him in the eyes, "Johnny... what did he say to you?" Kay grimaced at the memory; it had always been in the back of her mind. Cameron gently took her mug from her and placed it on the island behind them, "Kay?"
"It's fine. I just..." She let out a chuckle.
"You just...?"
"I didn't think you felt that way." Kay smiled.
Cameron couldn't help but smile himself, "You're smiling..."
"I am." Kay said, placing hand on his arm, "Cam." Cameron looked at her hopefully, "I don't want to be just another FBI agent to you."
"You aren't, you never were."
"But..." Cameron held his breath as he waited for Kay to finish, "I-I don't want to be just a friend either."
Cameron let out one of his half-smiles, "You don't?" Kay shook her head giving him a tiny smile, "Y-you want to be more than friends?"
Kay gulped nervously but smiled, "Yes."
Cameron smiled ear to ear and before Kay could even react, he leaned in for a soft kiss. She gently gripped his upper arm and kissed him back. When he pulled away, he looked deep in her eyes and whispered, "You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that."
Kay raised an eyebrow, "Longer than I've wanted to do this?" She grabbed the front of his shirt and kissed him again. It took Cameron about 0.2 seconds to respond as his hands moved to cup her neck as they both stumbled past the kitchen island and over to Kay's couch. When they finally pulled away, they rested their foreheads against each other, unable to open their eyes for a few moments, "Cameron?"
"Hmm?" He managed to respond.
She sighed, "What are we doing?"
"I believe we were kissing." He joked.
"I'm serious..." She said removing his hands from her face and gripping them tightly, "What if... what if we screw this up? I-I don't want to lose you in my life."
He tightly gripped her hands, "I don't intend to lose you Kay. I'm in, for however long you'll have me." She finally opened her eyes and looked in his, "I can't promise you that it's going to be the smoothest ride but..." He took her hands and pulled them toward his chest, "I promise that I'm not going anywhere. I'm your guy."
Kay looked into his eyes and saw that he really meant what he was saying. She realized what time it was, "It's... getting late."
Cameron sighed, thinking that he had said something wrong, "I-I should probably get going..." He let go of her hands but was surprised when Kay took his face in her hands.
"What if..." She took a deep breath, "What if I don't want you to go?"
He gave a soft smile, "Then... I won't."
She smiled at him. She leaned in and kissed him as one her hands slid into his hair and his arms wrapped her waist as Cam furrowed his brow, deepening the kiss. They soon moved off of Kay's couch and into her bedroom where... well, they didn't get much sleep but the little sleep they did get was far better than they had both had in a long time.
