~ Series of one shots of the couple that ruined me, Skyeward ~

AN: HI GUYS! Okay, so this one is inspired by a Tumblr prompt and I whipped this up in 20 mins :) Enjoy!

Set in... well, definitely not the current timeframe

"No but they could've made him cut her hair just a little bit longer. I mean I have no objections to short hair but she's Rapunzel! She should have long hair, right?" She was answered with silence. She looks down to see that his eyes are closed. "Ward, are you asleep?"

He doesn't respond.

"I've talking to a sleeping log all these time," she groans. Skye goes to turn off the TV and goes back to sit on the bed, beside him. She looks at him and smiles.

"He's cute when he's sleeping," she thinks to herself. She moves a strand of hair from his forehead and takes his hand in her hand.

She traces her finger along the lines on his palm. Then compares the sizes of their palms.

He suddenly retracts his hand and turns his back to her, eyes still closed and still very much asleep. She rolls her eyes in frustration then lies down. She frowns at the ceiling, annoyed at him. And then an idea lights up. She smiles. Then frowns again.

"No Skye, he won't feel it. He's asleep," she assures herself. She nods and turns to her side. She bites her lip and holds out a finger. Slowly, she traces an 'I' down his back. She pauses.

"No, keep going," she tells herself. She traces an 'L', followed by an 'O' and a 'V' and an 'E', finishing off with a 'Y', 'O' and 'U'. She thinks for a moment.

"Should I put a heart?" She shakes her head. "Better not, in case he decides to wake up." She grins then turns away and hugs her pillow, readying herself to go to sleep.

Then she feels movement behind her. And suddenly, a hand snakes around her stomach while his body presses against her back. She freezes.

"I love you too," Ward whispers into her ear and kisses her neck before tightening his grip around her. Skye whips her head back to him. "What? I thought you were asleep – I didn't –"

"Give it up, you love me, don't you?" he says. She avoids his gaze and his question. He lets her go only to crawl over her.

"Ward," she groans, "what are you doing?"

"Say it."

As soon as he sees that she's hesitating, he leans down and plants the softest kiss on her lips then looks at her with raised eyebrows.

"I love you," she whispers with a blissful sigh, placing a hand on his cheek. He smiles then leans down to kiss her again.

Prompt: Imagine person A lightly tracing "I love you" over and over again on person B's back, assuming that person B is asleep. When person A is lying on their back, getting ready to sleep, person B moves closer and wraps their arms around person A, whispering softly, "I love you too." Bonus if that's the first time person A has ever declare their love for person B.
