Shalimar walked up to Brennan's door and knocked softly. It was about eleven o'clock and she couldn't get to sleep, so she hoped talking to Brennan would pass a little time and then maybe she'd get tired.
He opened it and looked a little surprised to see her since it was late and they had all had a big day. "Shal?"
She smiled at him. "Hi,"
"Hi." He watched her for a minute studying her expressions, but couldn't make much out of them. "Something bothering you?"
She shook her head. "No. I just can't sleep and I though maybe if you were still awake we could talk a little."
"Sure, come in," he said stepping to the side, letting her in before closing the door again. "What do you want to talk about?"
Shalimar shrugged and chuckled slightly. "Actually, I have no idea. I guess I just wanted to see you... make sure you're ok." She smiled and stepped closer, poking his chest.
Brennan smiled back and took her hand, before kissing it gently and pulling her over to his bed. "Sit down," he said softly still holding her hand.
Shalimar did as he asked and sat down next to him.
They sat for a moment in silence before Brennan spoke, "Ya know you did a really stupid thing earlier..." Shalimar looked up at him a little confused. "Coming after me like that," he continued.
"I learned from the best." She smiled and squeezed his hand. "I wasn't about to just let you die... or be killed."
"But I could have killed you... and I probably would have if you hadn't been so fast."
"It's a good thing I'm feral then isn't it?"
Brennan chuckled and pulled her into his arms. "Thank you. You saved my life."
"You would have done the same if it were me," she said softly, tightening the hug.
"I wouldn't count on that," he joked as he released her.
Shalimar leaned back and tried to smack him but he caught her wrist and held onto it as she came at him with the other hand.
He laughed and caught that one, too, but turning to catch it caused him to fall back on the bed and have Shalimar fall on top of him. He rolled over on her and smiled. "I love you... and you CAN count on me if anything ever happens." He kissed her softly deciding it was time to finally willingly cross the line that separated teammates and lovers. He hesitated as he waited to see if she would follow him or shoot him down. Slowly he pulled away to get her reaction.
She was shocked at first. She thrived on the tension that was constantly created between them. She had wanted to share a relationship with Brennan for a long time. Now that he actually made the first move she was left to only reciprocate. Shalimar gazed up into his eyes. She couldn't find any words accept, "I love you, too." before gently sliding her hand behind his neck and pulling him down for another kiss.
Brennan was more than happy with her reaction. After a long, passionate kiss he broke away and rolled over to the other side of the bed.
Shalimar moved to her side and rested her head on his shoulder as she snuggled into him. "I could get used to this," she sighed as he started to stroke her arm.
"Me, too," he kissed her head. "Stay with me, tonight?" The pure love she heard in his voice made her heart stop. When she didn't respond he quickly added, "You don't have to, but it'd be nice to just hold you."
Lifting her head, she kissed him. "I'd like for you to just hold me." Smiling she rested her head back on his shoulder and closed her eyes. "Night, Bren, I love you."
"I love you, too, Shal. Goodnight." He turned the lights out and pulled her closer, falling asleep with her in his arms.
