Ars Amatoria Challenge: Yield
Couple: Bridge/Z
Set: Just before Stakeout
"Yield."
"No."
"Yield."
"No."
"Come on, yield already."
"No. I won't yield yet."
Brown eyes met Blue eyes and both were equally hard but both were equally warm with respect, affection and perhaps something else. But neither of them was budging from their positions.
Bridge was looking at her, chin rested on folded gloved hands, a slight hint of a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. His hair was tousled and his jacket undone. His green SPD t-shirt was tight against his chest, showing that he did have muscles underneath that sometime vague exterior he was a fit, healthy young man.
Z looked back at him as she sat crossed legged on the bench where they were playing chess. She had her chin in her hand that was sitting on her knee and a tiny smile on her face. Her yellow uniform was spotless as it always was. Her hair was neat and tidy, unlike her counterparts and there was a twinkle in her eyes as she faced off against the team's resident genius.
They were killing time, as they had finished their duties for the day and were relaxing before going to get some dinner for the night. Sky and Jack were playing a video game and Syd was off somewhere.
The match had been long and intense but fun. Bridge was wily and smart, whereas Z was sneaky and quick, so it had been fun. But it had come to an impasse. No matter what move Z made, she'd end up being checkmated. Bridge raised an eyebrow and gave her a full smile, his eyes twinkling with warmth that was only for her.
"So yield already Z, then we can go eat." Z laughed and reached out, tipping her king to its side, yielding the match to him. She reached over and put her hand on his knee and grinned.
"Next time, you can yield."
