A/N: The end part of this might sound a bit harsh, but they're all still learning about each other and themselves, and they make mistakes. They'll talk it through and be alright :)
Thank you to annavale23 and changingdestiny40 for your reviews on the last chapter :)
Grant felt like today was both a success and a failure. A success because he and Skye had gotten through their first fight as a couple and were going steady. A failure because Kara had not taken well to being asked to mind what she says about certain subjects.
Skye tightened her hold around his waist and he looked down to where her head was resting on his chest. She was looking back at him, her head propped up on her chin.
"You're overthinking it, Grant." She whispered. Groaning, Grant refocused on the ceiling.
"She was really upset."
"Because she thought that we didn't appreciate her efforts to help us reconcile." She gently blew at his face when he didn't respond. "We had to let her know that there are some things that she is obligated to know of, but shouldn't talk about unless one of us brings it up. I don't think she'd want to be told months later after doing that for so long."
"Has she come to that conclusion now?" he asked quietly.
"Maybe not."
"Then we shouldn't let it simmer." He tried to get up, only Skye wouldn't relinquish her grip. "Skye." he said flatly.
"Give her some space."
"You said that didn't help you."
"I figured that out for myself. Kara needs to do the same. She is her own person, and we are helping her find herself. Telling her who she is is only going to confuse her if she finds something that conflicts with what she believed about herself."
With a sigh, Grant fell back onto the bed. "You're stubborn."
"Always." she snarked with a small grin. "We can wait until she stops crying, okay?"
