A little over a month had passed. Red and Donald had started to shy away from each other when the conversation seemed to be getting a little too comfortable. They couldn't admit what they felt. It would be too awkward if the other rejected them or was disgusted by the thought of them being together.

Scarlet had pulled back on her claims that they liked each other. It was fun to see them blush at the mention of a relationship, but she didn't like the glare she got from Red. So, she had shut up about it, not knowing what that was going to do to Donald. Like what it was going to do today when she walked into the post office wearing one of her low cut dresses that would make most any man stare.

"Are you ready to go?" She asked Red and he nodded as he wound his arm around her waist. Donald felt his stomach clench at the sight. He bit the inside of his cheek as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Go where?" Donald questioned. He held back his anger when Red looked past him at Liz.

"We need to be going. You can bring him up to date, can't you?" Red asked and Liz nodded. Red and Scarlet started to the door. Scarlet looked over her shoulder and smiled back at them.

"See you later." She called getting a small wave from Liz and a nasty look from Donald. Scarlet's smile faltered for a second before turning back around. She chewed on the inside of her jaw as they walked out to the car. "Is Donald ok?"

"I think so. Why?"

"He seemed a little ticked off at me. I didn't do anything, did I?"

"Scarlet, you always do something, but I think Donald should be used to that by now." Red replied as the two got in.

"So, what's going on?" Donald asked as he looked up at the screen with Liz. "And what does Scarlet have to do with it?"

"She's Reddington's date." Liz replied causing Donald's gaze to snap to her. "They're going in to get information from a crime lord. The camera is so we can record the information."

"How'd they set up the camera?"

"It's a meeting building. No one has to give up their safe houses. Lucky for us, that means that no one notices when the place gets bugged." Liz stated before the screen showed Red, Scarlet, and another man and woman walk into the room.

"You sure no one knows that the place is bugged?" Donald asked holding back a sneer when Red put his arm around Scarlet's shoulders. He was really getting irritated by his feelings of jealousy towards Scarlet who had done nothing for him to be at her.

"Reddington and Scarlet don't even know it's there." Aram chimed in as he looked up from behind his computer. "I installed it yesterday. It's no bigger than the tip of a pen. So, there's no way anyone'll see it."

"So, how have you two been doing?" Red asked the couple sitting across from him and Scarlet.

"We've been fabulous, Raymond." Answered the woman, Veronica. Donald took note of her accent but wasn't sure of where it was from. France, maybe? "How have you and your wife been doing?"

"Wife?!" Donald exclaimed drawing Liz's and Aram's attention to him. "...Sorry,"

"Have they gotten there yet?" Harold asked joining the others.

"They just arived. They're still going through small talk." Liz answered before looking back to the screen.

"We've been fine. Haven't we, honey?" Red asked rubbing Scarlet's shoulder. She nodded before Red leaned in and gave her a quick peck on the lips. Donald, in responce pressed his lips together tightly.

"I suppose that we should get to business." The man stated in the same accent as the woman. Red nodded in agreement.

The next hour was filled with pointless conversation, a few needed facts, and Donald clenching his jaw every time Red showed any kind of affection for Scarlet. By the end he was fighting back the raging jealousy gnawing at him from the inside,

"I'll be back in a minute." Donald muttered before leaving the room and going to the men's room. He took a deep breath when he was inside and stood in front of one other mirrors. He glanced at himself as he turned on the water. He sneered when he saw the pink tinge in his cheeks. He splashed water on his face before looking at himself again.

"This is stupid." He said to his reflextion. "You aren't supposed to feel like this about him. Hell, you aren't even supposed to like him." He muttered and turned off the water. He needed a minute to himself.

Outside, the small group was watching the meeting end. Red and Scarlet said good bye before the other two left out of the room. Red was pulling his jacket over his arm when he noticed the look on Scarlet's face.

"What are you planning?" He asked raising an eyebrow. Her grin spread a little more.

"McCarthy," she stated getting a confused look from the criminal. "I mean for you and Donald." She explained causing Red to roll his eyes. "Come on, consider it. You and him would have an excuse to make out and maybe get that spark started."

"Who is McCarthy?" Harold asked.

"She's one of Scarlet's informants who only talks to gay men." Liz replied.

"Why would Agent Ressler and Reddington be going together? They aren't a couple. I don't even think that they're Homosexual."

"I don't know."

"Scarlet, I told you to stay out of it." Red scolded.

"Well, you don't look like you're going after him anytime soon on your own." Scarlet retorted and crossed her arms. "If you want a relationship with him, you'll have to go after him."

"I'll pursue a relationship with him when I feel the time is right. You don't rush things like this." Red stated. "Now, let's get going."

"...D-Did Reddington just out himself?" Liz asked as she stared wide eyed at the screen.

"Yeah... and for Ressler." Aram answered.
