A/N: Please R/R. GUNN AND HARMONY ARE ALREADY DATING!
Setting: During Unleashed.
Synopsis: Gunn and Harmony are dating (this happened between Just Rewards and Unleashed), but he starts getting jealous of Spike. . . Some scenes taken from the episodes, others are implanted. Mainly AU to fit in.
Chapter One
"Morning Gunn!" Harmony said smiling, walking into his office.
"Morning Harm. You alright?"
"Okay. . . Angel's really grumpy and uptight." He laughed and she sat on the corner of his desk. "So, what you guys investigating?" she asked.
"Some girl got bit by what we think is a werewolf. Trying to find her before she hurts someone." Harmony nodded.
"I see. Boring?"
"Like you wouldn't believe." At that moment, Harmony's phone started ringing.
"Hello? Yes boss. Right away boss." Harmony rolled her bright blue eyes as she put the small phone into her bag. "Angel needs his blood," she said. Gunn smiled.
"Want me to come with you?" She shook her head.
"I'm fine. I can deal him and Blondie. . .uh. . . Spike." She laughed nervously and walked out. Gunn sighed and squeezed his Parker pen tightly in his hand.
Nothing to worry about. Harmony was with him. Not Spike. She no longer had feelings for the bleach blonde. He smiled to himself. She wasn't that stupid, he decided, still frowning.
*-*-*
Harmony took the mug out of the microwave, still smiling to herself. These last few days had been pretty strange really. She was all upset over Spike being there, and boom! She ended up with Gunn.
It was probably a strange match, which was the main reason why no one knew. They wanted to see if it worked out first. Besides, it was more fun to keep it to them. More fun watching the people they worked with try and figure out why they were both so chirpy.
She hadn't been this happy in a long time. She was finally belonging somewhere. And to someone. She knew she wouldn't be used like she had been with Spike. Gunn wasn't like that.
Spike was just. . . "Spike!" Harmony exclaimed, dropping the mug of warm blood on the floor. "Now look what you made me do!"
"Peaches can wait," Spike said.
"Now that you're lurking around my work, can you at least tell me when you're going to just pop up?"
"Now where would the fun be in that?" Spike asked. Harmony glared at him, and then set about to fix the mess on the floor.
*-*-*
Gunn sat in Angel's apartment with Angel, Wesley, Fred and Lorne eating their Chinese takeaway. Maybe he should just go public about Harmony. After all, she would be invited to share this meal with them then.
Of course, it was working fine with no one knowing. A little secrecy never hurt anyone. A little jealousy did though. . .
His thoughts trailed off to Wolfram and Hart. Harmony would still be there. She was working late that night. Someone had messed up Angel's schedules, and she had to go though them and rearrange them again.
Spike was still there, he thought, jealousy creeping back in. Sure, she wouldn't be able to touch him. . . but what if he became corporeal? What if they sat there bonding, and she didn't even think about him, Gunn.
"Charles?" Wesley asked. "What do you think?" Gunn swept out of his thoughts.
"To what?" he asked.
"The new schedules Harmony's worked out. Are they working okay?"
"Yeah, they're brilliant." Okay, a little too much enthusiasm. Now someone was going to start getting suspicious.
"Mine aren't so good," Angel admitted. "I mean. . . it's not Harmony's fault. . . I just hate the actual meeting thing altogether." Fred laughed loudly, and then covered her mouth, embarrassed. Everyone looked at her.
"Sorry. . ." she said. "It's just. . . the meeting yesterday? With that yellow blob thing?" She started laughing hysterically again. Gunn allowed his mind to wonder back to his and Harmony's first kiss. . .
*-*-*
"I can't believe I've messed this up again!" Harmony exclaimed loudly, her voice bouncing around the large, silent lobby. She placed her head in her hands. "Okay, focus," she told herself. "I can do this."
Annoyed, Gunn peered out of his office, and saw the blonde staring down at the many sheets of paper in front of her. Maybe he should give her a hand? He glanced at his desk. No. He had too much work to do himself.
He quietly closed the door, hoping that he would be able to focus without Harmony's complaining voice in the background.
An hour later, and Gunn had had enough. Everyone had gone home, and he was left with these stupid papers to file. He was beginning to miss the voices. The silence was empowering.
Even Harmony's voice was beginning to seem like a soothing lullaby. He decided he needed a walk, so he opened the door and stepped out into the lobby.
And there she was. Harmony, her head resting on her desk her blonde hair resting around her face. Casually, he walked over to her.
He tapped her should lightly. She was asleep. He glanced at the clock. She'd be annoyed if he didn't wake her. But he couldn't bring himself to. She looked so peaceful. He began to get annoyed with himself.
She was only a woman. A very beautiful one at that but. . . he should be able to wake her up. He heard a cough behind him, and he turned around. "Just wake her. Be more fun that way," Spike said, as if he'd read Gunn's mind.
Gunn frowned. "Go away Spike," he said.
"Suit yourself." Spike shrugged, and walked through the wall to Angel's office.
Fine, Gunn thought to himself. If Spike was going to have it that way, he would wake her. Carefully, he crouched down, and gently shook her shoulder. "Harmony," he said gently. "Wake up."
Her eyes opened slowly. "Morning," she said, then her eyes widened. She pressed down her hair. "Oh my god!" she said.
"It's okay," Gunn said. "No one's here. It's late. . . well early actually, it's two in the morning. . . but no one but me will see you looking. . .uh. . . first thing." She rolled her eyes at his tact.
"Whatever. I've gotta get all this done before Angel gets here." Gunn sighed, and started walking back to his office. He turned around.
"Harmony," he said. She looked up. "Can I come and work out here with you?" She looked confused, but nodded all the same, a slight smile playing on her lips.
He sat down, and they worked in silence for half an hour, both glancing at each other occasionally, wondering what the other was doing.
They were mirroring each others moods. They were both annoyed at the amount of work they had to do, and how quickly they would have to finish it, but they were also intrigued. They'd never really noticed each other much.
He may have walked over to her desk once or twice asking for his meeting schedule or the like, but he had never probably had a conversation with her.
Okay, that wasn't what he was having now. . . but that was beyond the point. "Uh. . . Gunn. . ." Harmony said suddenly. He turned to look at her. "What are you really doing here?"
"Working," he pointed out.
"Oh," she said simply. The both looked back down at the papers. After another minute, they looked up, and straight into each other's eyes. Harmony looked away first, frowning with confusion.
But he suddenly reached out and touched her chin. She turned and looked at him. His hand moved around the back of her neck. She tilted her head and that was it. Their first kiss. It wasn't planned, but it was just. . . perfect.
*-*-*
Gunn looked out of the window, and smiled to himself. Nah. Harmony wanted him. He was sure about it now.
