Jemma + Grant
Chapter 5/?
Jemma didn't know how to handle Grant after he was affected by the staff. He showed just how terrifying he can be, which she supposed was his specialist side showing. She decided to use the hotel room to its full effect. She was going to have a long soak in the amazingly big bathtub in her very own room and head to bed. She left Skye and Fitz to talk, well Fitz was listening Skye was talking about how she just wanted Grant to talk about the incident, and have a drink but no he just got shot of whiskey and went to his own room. Jemma took what Skye said in her stride and headed up to her room, she passed Coulson and May having a drink themselves.
Grant knew it was stupid, he hadn't meant to blow Skye off like that but she was the last person he wanted anything to do with. Jemma didn't even look at him, but it was her he wanted. He wanted to spill his gut to her about what the staff had made him re-live, he wouldn't and it some cases couldn't tell her everything because that would send her running. Right now Jemma was the only one he wanted to trust with the darkness he had inside. He went to her room and waited for her to come back, hopefully she wouldn't be long because the whiskey was starting to burn off. He just lay down till she got back.
When Jemma got back to her room wasn't that surprised to see Grant laying across her bed and was breathing heavily. She knew that if the door opening hadn't woken him? He was out and maybe that was for the best, but she continued on with her plan. Ran the bath adding the complimentary bath soak and was going just going to get her towel and started when she saw Grant sitting up, very much awake. He had been snoring lightly and was now wide awake, he though looked very confused and lost so she went to him. She cupped his face with her hands and brought her lips to his and placed a chaste kiss on his.
"Get undressed" Jemma said to him. He looked at her confused. "We'll have a soak in the tub, it's big enough for the two of us."
Grant made Jemma lean against him while they were in the bath, he wanted his hands on her. He felt the anger start to ebb away as he laid there with her. He found himself telling her everything, what the staff made him re-live, what his brother did to him and his younger brother. He told her a little bit about Garrett and how he saved his life and stopped him from going to jail and get him involved with S.H.I.E.L.D.
When they got done, Jemma got him to lie down on his stomach so she could massage the knots and stress out of his muscles, and hoped it would make him sleep easier. The real reason was so she could feel that he was real and that he was okay. She couldn't believe what he'd been through, but she was glad that he felt as though he could tell her something so private to him.
