Sweeter Than Fiction
What a sight, what a sight when the light came on
Proved me right, proved me right when you proved them wrong
And in this perfect weather
It's like we don't remember
The rain we thought would last forever and ever
These days it's easy to forget that there were times when their relationship, to put it lightly, was less than perfect. That there was a time filled with lies and betrayal, harsh words and bullet wounds, pain and hurt.
It all seems so far away now that the dark grey storm clouds have disappeared and they have found their way back to each other.
Now, when every morning she wakes up to a kiss, lacing her arms around his neck and pulling him down to her before he could be foolish enough to leave her to train.
Now, when Lance does gagging noises when he sees them together, accusing them of being a walking romance novel.
Now, when he looks at her with pure, unfiltered pride whenever she uses her gift, or just simply succeeds to keep at bay whenever she is upset.
Now, when he proves day after day where his loyalties lie, completing mission after mission, working with her, working with a team.
Now, when he can just pull her close and kiss her, whenever he feels like it.
Now, when no-one even raises an eyebrow (okay, they pick on them, but it's because of a completely different reason) whenever she sits in his lap in the lounge.
Now, when they can share a beer and a few good laughs with the team without feeling unwelcome.
Now, when they can go to bed together, and fall asleep snuggled close, holding the other in their arms.
So yes, these days it's easy to forget how it used to be. But to be perfectly honest, Skye doesn't mind it – she'd much rather live in the spectacular present, than to dwell on the mistakes of the past.
