A/N: Hello! Strange upload time, I know. Time allowing, I'm going to do my best to give you all a Christmas count-down in drabbles, one a day. If I'm super busy- coughclassescough- then I may have to leave updating for the next day. I'm super excited, though! Let's do this!
Please, people, prompts! I can find my own, like I did for this one, but I'd seriously love to be writing in response to your suggestions. :D
THANKS to bradburythequeen for reviewing! I keep meaning to PM you to respond properly to your thoughtful review, and I'm sorry I haven't gotten around to it yet. I will. :)
Episode: Some time first season or so
Rating: K
Warnings: Smidge of angst. I'll try to keep these Christmas count-down drabbles lighter in future, though.
Prompt: Pair
Take the time to make someone smile today! And I have to go do calc now, but reviews make my day! Thanks :)
It was a good plan, to train the team in pairs, but it was driving Chase crazy. He wasn't even allowed to be in the lab with Leo, to check in on his siblings. It rankled.
Tasha sat beside him, waiting too. "They'll be okay," she soothed. "Donald said they're doing great."
Chase tried to smile at her, stop fidgeting. He couldn't. "I know."
He paused.
"They're a great team, but they don't plan well on the fly. That's my job."
"That's why they're learning."
Chase couldn't face the clock, the infinite seconds. His stomach was in knots.
"... I know."
