SCORPION 4x16 - When I'm with you - One shot
Hey guys! So I really loved Valentine's episode, we had some heartbreaking Quintis, a nice hint of Fly and of course sweet Waige. But I still feel that Walter's song was a little bit underexploited so I decided to forget about the part where Walter is called for another mission for this one shot, enjoy!
Paige's POV.
I really was sorry that Walter and I couldn't go to dinner, because it was our first Valentine's day as a couple, and I loved seing him getting dressed for me. I always found him handsome, but when he's in a suit, god what I thoughts of doing… But anyway, I didn't really mind not going out tonight, as long as we were together and cuddling, it would stay the best Valentine's ever.
As if he was reading in my mind, Walter sat next to me with a smile.
« No I… I was looking forward to spending the night in. Cuddling and… having you relaxing. »
He now had his hand on my cheek and I didn't feel so sick anymore.
« You're not afraid of my germs? » I teased him. « Because I'd love to cuddle, but I wouldn't want you to… fear contamination. »
« I jumped of a building today, do you really think that some microbes are going to impress me? »
I wanted to tell him that it wasn't funny, but in fact we both had a smile from ear to ear now, that rapidly faded into a passionate kiss.
Sex was awesome with Walter, but after missions, it was when it was the better, especially when we handled a risky one. Probably because we were releasing all the adrenaline from the case in the best way possible. And though I wasn't on the filed today, I did worry sick about Walter, and I knew he must have experienced some intense emotions, so I reckoned that we were about to spend a pretty nice moment.
But that was forgetting Walter's hurt shoulder…
« Ouch, ouch… »
I pulled out a little, looking at him with worry.
« I just… Sorry, I'm not sure I can… Stupid injury… »
I had to smile at how disappointed he looked. Of course I was a little too, but I didn't mind, we could still spend a nice moment, and take things back were we left them when we both feel a little better.
« Don't worry, it's okay. Let's just… cuddle. Just come in bed with me and we can you know… watch some stupid show on TV and criticize the stupidity of the programs together. »
Walter's POV.
I hated watching TV, that's why I didn't have one at my loft. In fact I didn't watch anything on TV other than the news, related to a case, since I was in America. I used to watch it back in Ireland with Megan, then I rapidly found it pointless and uninteresting. But I had to say that the perspective of lying in bed with Paige in my arms, making remarks about how silly or inaccurate some TV show is, was appealing.
« Okay, I'd like that. »
Paige and I quickly got under the covers, as she took care of being on my unharmed side, and I turned on the TV as she rested her head on my chest. I changed channels to find something at least mildly interesting and when I zapped to a musical program called « The Voice », Paige grabbed my wrist.
« Oh leave that, I love this. I used to watch it all the time before we got together. »
I knew this was a harmless remark, but I couldn't help wondering if being with me stopped Paige from doing other things she liked.
« Do you… do you sometimes wish you were not with me so you could do things that you don't do with me? »
Paige looked at me with a funny face and I could tell she didn't expect this question.
« Of course not! Why would you say this? »
« Well you love this show and you can't watch it with me because I don't have a tv and… »
« Walter stop. I used to watch this because I had time to do so, but now I have other priorities and I'd choose spending time with you over over watching some tv program anytime. I never even thought about it you know, it was just a way to pass time when I was alone. Besides, we're watching it together now right? So I don't see a problem. »
I felt stupid for thinking such a thing.
« Walter do you sometimes wish you were not with me so you could do stuff we can't do together? »
« No! I'd choose you over any other activity too, and I know that if I want some alone time to work on something I can just ask you. »
« So there's your answer. »
Paige kissed my cheek and we went back to watch these people singing and trying to make some famous artists I didn't know about turning their seat to see them or whatever the concept was. At some point a young guy came and did what seemed to be a really impressive performance. I couldn't tell, I wasn't the greatest expert in music, but the juries all stood up to applause him, and Paige apparently got very emotional when he sang.
« God it was so beautiful. » she declared.
I knew it was silly, but I felt a little jealous that she could be moved by another man's performance.
« Humf. I don't see it. » I mumbled.
Paige laughed, and I knew she probably easily read the feelings behind my reaction.
« Don't worry Walter, you're still my favorite singer. »
After what she muted the tv to focus on dropping kissed on my jawline and my neck.
« Speaking of which, » she started between kisses, « I'd really like to hear the full version of your… not so stupid song. »
« Uh… I don't know if I remember it… And I only tried to play the guitar for a few days so I… I'm not sure if I still got it… »
« You're a genius, don't make me believe you forgot it because I won't believe you. »
« Yeah but don't forgot my harm still hurts. If I can't be intimate with you, I surely can't play. »
My argument was fair, but Paige didn't seem ready to give up yet.
« Then do it a capella! Come on, as my last Valentine treat. »
She looked at me with puppy eyes before adding a tiny « Please » that couldn't make me refuse. I didn't plan on using my vocal skills again anytime soon but I guess Paige was worth the effort.
« Okay. » I gave in. « Okay I'll do it. Just don't laugh please. »
« I won't. » she promised.
So I closed my eyes so I wouldn't see her reaction right away, and I started singing.
« When I'm with you,
My mind can rest,
My thoughts can nest, thoughts can nest…
When I'm with you,
My soul feels light,
The world seems bright, world seems bright…
'Cause when I'm with you,
I'm whole,
Yeah when you're with me,
I'm home… »
« I didn't really think it further you kn… » I started to say as I opened my eyes, stoping right in the middle of my sentence as I noticed Paige was crying.
« Is this… is this what you call a happy cry? »
She just nodded before kissing me. It was slow and passionate, and a little salty because of her tears but I didn't mind, it was beautiful.
Paige parted away and just hugged me, resting her head on my shoulder.
« Best Valentine ever. » she murmured in my ear.
I guess I needed to write fluff.
No Scorpion for 3 weeks now :( Take care of you until then.
