Set sometime in season 3. Girl talk part 2.
"What's the flowers for?" Alex caught sight of the bouquet in the kitchen as she poured herself more water. Nikita had her and Sonya over at the apartment for a girls' night of dinner and movies. It was getting insane with stress, Division, and Amanda; they needed a moment to relax and have fun. What better way to do that than spending the night with a close group of friends. Though, the women did narrow it down to just them. They could easily avoid talking about their crusade without their whole team there.
"Michael gave them to me. He wanted to celebrate our anniversary yesterday," Smiling dreamily, Nikita replied. Her fiancé had surprised her with the flowers and date idea. They had a lot of different anniversaries: first meet, first mission, first kiss, first time having sex, first date. They had also lost track of days being in Division and being rogue. So, Michael rolled the celebration of every first into one day. Nikita didn't have any complaints about it. She loved the excuse to go on a special date with Michael.
Whereas Alex poked fun of the couple, Sonya grinned. She had always thought Michael and Nikita were cute. It was inspiring to know that despite the dramatics they faced as rogues and agents, there was something happy they could have. It was all worth it, "That's so sweet."
"Well, he kinda owed me," Nikita downplayed it. They had recently gotten past the rough patch in their relationship. There was still a lot of talking and healing they had to do. But the two were moving forward together. Michael's anniversary surprise proved that much. No matter how difficult things became, they wouldn't give up on one another.
"So you were treated like a princess?" Rejoining Nikita and Sonya in the living room, Alex smirked. After arguments with Sean, he was more than willing to make it up to her. He'd make her feel special and loved in all the right ways. Although Nikita and Michael hadn't necessarily been in a fight, she was certain the making up process was the same. She had shared safehouses with them, after all.
"Oh yeah. But trust me. I gave as good as I got," Nikita smirked back. Both Alex and Sonya groaned. All she could do was laugh, and turn off the television. Their conversation was going to be a hell of a lot more entertaining than a movie.
Shoving at her best friend, Alex attempted to wipe that smug expression off her face. She didn't want to have another one of those girls' talk with Nikita. Just like everything else, she took it way too far, "Here's the line. And there's you."
"You brought it up," Nikita rolled her eyes and pushed back. Her comment wasn't even the most explicit thing she had ever said; it was just in response to Alex. But if she was going to overreact, she could definitely kick it up a notch. What was girls' night anyway, if they couldn't tease one another.
Sonya got the two to stop fighting before the couch tipped backyards. As much fun as their antics were to watch from afar, she didn't want to be caught in the middle of them. She'd much rather calmly sit and talk about what they did outside of Division, "Please tell me you two did other things."
"All we did was fuck," Nikita shrugged. Her deadpanned sarcasm didn't earn her any smiles, not that she really expected it to. She sighed and gave them the real story, "No, but seriously. We did the whole dinner and dancing thing."
"Never imagined you guys on an actual date," Alex made Nikita pay for the sarcasm. She had been on a double date with the engaged couple before, but it was interrupted. It also wasn't going that great thanks to Sean (she had made him apologize and make up for it later). The lack of proper dates wasn't really the rogues' fault. How could anyone wine and dine while trying to tear apart a corrupt unit of the government. At least they had some time then.
"We can be normal. Even if we stopped a mugging as we walked back home," Nikita admitted a tad sheepishly. She and Michael never had been, and probably never will be, a normal couple. But their friends didn't mind. Alex and Sonya laughed at the confession; they couldn't imagine the two doing anything differently.
"You guys are something else," Alex said as a compliment. Continuing to giggle, she smiled brightly. She wished she could be as comfortable in a relationship to know who they were together. She was getting there with Sean; they just had to keep opening their hearts to one another. Fortunately, they had a couple to look towards for inspiration and hope.
Soon, Nikita started to laugh with them. She and her fiancé were absolutely ridiculous. Of course they would turn a romantic outing into a chance to save someone. However, stopping the mugging didn't ruin their night. It honestly made it better, "Is it weird that I think it was the perfect date?"
Although Alex laughed harder, she didn't tease Nikita; it did sound like a fantastic date. Sonya had to agree. Not so much to the stepping into danger aspect, but to how great it sounded for the engaged couple, "I don't think it's weird. It's who you two are."
"Just like how you and Nerd cyber sext," Nikita took the chance to turn the topic from herself and Michael. She'd rather not talk about the more personal side of their relationship. Maybe after they healed from their recent strain, she'd be a bit more open.
The redirection worked. Alex quit laughing to gasp in pleasant surprise. Sonya stuttered and blushed. She actually thought her conversations with Birkhoff over the Division servers were a secret, "We do not."
"I can read computer code. And those messages, whoa. Didn't know 'geeky' could also mean 'freaky'," Nikita smirked once more. She had stumbled across the communications on accident; they were a secured string of code that wasn't easily accessible. When she discovered it was just flirty messages between Sonya and Birkhoff, she intended to leave it alone. Then she read an explicit text. From there on, she had to torture the nerds. It was Birkhoff's fault for teaching her to hack in the first place.
Alex was having the time of her life that night. She was laughing uproariously, clutching her sides as she doubled over. Sonya's embarrassment couldn't take it. She had to deflect just as Nikita had. Fortunately, she had the perfect defense to direct at the young woman, "I've read those sexts between you and Sean. You're not innocent either."
"Hey! Those were sent privately over our phones," Alex's laughter sharply turned to shouts. Sonya shouldn't have hacked into hers or Sean's phone, even if they were the Division issued burners. Those provocative pictures and texts were meant for their eyes only. Their team had no right to be digging into their private chats.
"Div… Division checks… they check the history on the burners," Barely able to explain, Nikita giggled uncontrollably. It was a policy they had been in place before they took over the place. The only reason it was kept around was because of mole hunts. They didn't delve as deeply as techs used to, allowing agents their privacy. But, of course, Birkhoff had to dig into what was constantly being sent between Alex and Sean. It was his free entertainment.
While Nikita nearly fell off the couch laughing, Sonya took pity on Alex's embarrassment; her cheeks had turned beet red. It was as though they could never catch any real privacy in their relationships with the team constantly around. Yet, wasn't that what it was like to have a family. The computer tech could comfort the young woman and tease her lightly, "I like the nickname you gave his… manhood."
"You named his dick!" On the other hand, Nikita squealed with delight. She was going to use that information to tease Alex and Sean until the end of time. She was also going to tell Michael about it the second he got home. There was no doubt he would laugh just as brightly.
"I did not. It was a joke," Alex defended. It really was a joke about her boyfriend and their sexlife. However, neither Nikita nor Sonya were listening.
"Do you call it out during sex? 'Oh Sean Jr., right there'," Controlling her giggles, Nikita faked a breathy moan. Sonya screamed with laughter, tears springing to her eyes. Alex's mortification rapidly grew.
A pillow was shoved in Nikita's face to make her stop. It didn't work. She simply whacked Alex with it in return. The young woman had enough, "Shut the fuck up. You call Michael a 'DILF'."
"Because he's a dad I like to fuck," Nonchalantly, Nikita replied. Just because Hayley was killed and Max was hidden to ensure his safety, didn't mean Michael wasn't a father. He still loved his children with all his heart. And Nikita loved that fact about him with all her heart. He always fiercely cared for the people he loved. She was in awe at how strong his heart was.
"Now I see why Seymour says you have no shame," Sonya brought Nikita back to the moment. The tech consistently left girls' night knowing more about the agent than she wanted. It was admirable, though. That kind of confidence was outstanding.
"No you don't," Alex shook her head. Sonya hadn't shared a safehouse with Nikita. Although the walking around in only her underwear didn't faze the young woman, the unabashed sex was awkward. They lived in too close of spaces in that last safehouse for some of Michael and Nikita's activities.
Nikita rolled her eyes again. There Alex was, overreacting some more. She and her fiancé weren't that awful, "Walking in without knocking was your fault. And it's healthy to talk about sex. It surrounds us. It penetrates us…"
"You did not just make a Star Wars quote sexual," Sonya reacted to the innuendo. It was impossible to know where Nikita was going with a joke. Yet if it started like that, the nerd didn't want to know where it was going to end.
"Like you and Birkhoff don't," Nikita hadn't read much of the coded messages between the nerds; she let that be their private business. But she knew enough about them to make Sonya blush with her assumption. Alex muttered something about everyone knowing too much about each other. That didn't have any power in stopping their conversation, though. It was just going to keep building, despite embarrassment and laughter.
"You and Michael have never sent sexual pictures or texts?" Alex knew better than to ask, but she wanted Nikita to be teased just like her and Sonya. It was only fair.
However, the agent shook her head. Michael and Nikita hardly texted in general; they mostly spoke over the phone, or waited until they were together again to tell each other everything they had missed. Instead of explaining that, though, Nikita mentioned the quickies they had inside Division, "No. We just go fuck in an empty room."
"Is that why Medical ran out of condoms?" Deciding to play along, Sonya wondered. She had been helping Medical restock supplies when the issue of missing condoms came up. Who else could have been stealing them than the couples inside the bunker.
Except both Nikita and Alex shook their heads. Sean and Alex hardly ever had sex at work. And Michael and Nikita didn't do it often. If the engaged couple did, they weren't going to use the protection Medical had on hand for seduction missions. That was a little too much, even for them, "We don't use those cheap things. We have our own. Ribbed for her pleasure."
"I'm gonna kill you," Throwing another pillow at her best friend, Alex tried not to gag. Nikita just couldn't stop making things overtly sexual.
"Then who's using them?" Sonya ignored them, curious about the missing supplies. She was aware of agents and recruits casually having sex in the past. Maybe their relationships finally flourished with Percy and Amanda gone. The teams' certainly had.
"Division's getting freaky now," Nikita laughed. It was no surprise that they were all fucking one another. They worked on stressful missions with each other everyday. They needed some kind of release. If the agents found that in an empty recruit bed with a partner, then so be it. No one was going to stop them anymore.
"Maybe Ryan was right about sitting everyone down for a sex and PDA talk," Sonya joked. The three couples' overt displays of affection had gotten on Ryan's nerves. It wasn't their fault, though. They had no idea how to behave in an actual workplace environment.
"Dare you to interrupt the meeting with your oversharing," Giggling, Alex nudged Nikita. If they were going to sit through a PDA meeting, might as well make it entertaining.
"As much as I would love to embarrass Ryan, I wouldn't expose Michael like that," Talking about her fiancé in a sexual context to their friends was fun and hilarious. However, Nikita couldn't talk about Michael that way to the entirety of Division. Especially since he had trained most of them. It wouldn't have been fair to him.
"I'll pay for your wedding," Except, Alex's offer was tempting. The engaged couple hadn't planned much for their big day. But they knew holding the ceremony on a private beach along the Arabian sea was expensive enough. Nikita and Michael needed some way to pay for everything. Letting the young woman take care of it seemed like a great idea.
"Let's call this fucking meeting then."
