Later that night

Quinn was in the lab but she knew her and Gage had a date night and she was terrified. She wanted to make love with him over and over again. She wants to fuck his brains out so badly but she knows shes gonna see Greenes face, feel his hands around her throat. She felt her anxiety rising up just thinking about it. But she figures if she hears Gage's voice, feels him being gentle and sweet it could help her get over this. Her first day of school wasn't as bad as she thought. If the worst they do is ask about the nuke then maybe it isn't so bad.

The lab doors opened to the lab, she looked, seeing Gage walk in. She smiled. "Hey. Time for our date?" She swallowed down her nerves and her breath stopped...he looked amazing. She forgets how young he looks outside of his combat gear and blood caked in his skin. He's just wearing his favorite Green Lantern shirt with khaki shorts with sandals and it took her breath away. He smiled. "Yeah, lose track of time again?" She smirked, standing. Her yoga pants and band shirt dirty with oil. Some smears on her face and hands. She hoped her smile was convincing. She felt so ugly and just felt small and invisible and why would anyone want to be with her? He chuckled, walking closer. "Don't you always? Take your time getting ready, we still have time." She nodded, getting up from her amour to go to the elevator. He gently stopped her, hands on her shoulders. "Hey, you ok?" She swallowed the lump in her throat turning to him, grinning. "When am I not? I'l meet you in the garage." She made her way to the elevator. Once the elevator closed she let a few tears fall, her chest heaving and lip trembling. Why would anyone want to be with her? She dosnt know.

Her hands are callused and dry, her hair splitting at the ends, 70% of the time shes covered in oil and in yoga pants and a band tee shirt not to mention shes only 5'2. Why would someone like Gage, who is so handsome and skilled want some little ugly nerd like her?

Gage waited by the car he picked. A red Audi. He was tempted to go check on her but felt this bit of independence might be good for her. He still worried. He was shaken out of his thoughts when the door to the garage opened, showing Quinn in tight jeans, tank top with a plaid over shirt that's used like a coat. He smiled. "There you are. I was getting worried." She smiled, walking over, arms going around his waist. "Couldn't find anything to wear. So whats the plan?" She let go, going around the car. He smiled, opening the drivers side. "Thought Mexican would be good. Nothing too formal. Plus it's your favorite." She grinned, sitting down. "Oh tacos. My second love." He chuckled, sitting in the driver sides, closing his door. He drove out of the garage, letting a comfortable silence take over. They stopped at a red light and he looked over. He wanted so badly to tell her that he'l do whatever she asks, even if she starts saying no, if she changes her mind, he dosnt care but he's too scared of putting any form of pressure on her.

Quinn grinned as he parked in front of a taco bell. "Oh my god. This is why I love you. Marry me?" He laughed. "How about no proposing over taco bell?" "Your right. Hunger is making me delirious. We should eat." He laughed, getting out and going around to put his arm around her shoulder, leading her inside. They ordered two of the taco box that has like...12 tacos in each. Or some number like that. He honestly forgot in the blur of fun and happiness. He hasn't seen her this happy in so long. Too long. He chuckled. "If i knew all it took was tacos to make you happy.." She laughed, swallowing her food. "Not just any taco. Taco bell. We never go to these places. We always go to fancy pantsy restuerants. These are nice. Just...being normal is nice." He nodded, eating his own tacos. Once they were done eating he won her a stuffed animal from the coin machine. They walked back out to the car, before he could open her door she pushed him against the car, bringing his head down for a downright filthy kiss, her tongue invading his mouth. He groaned, holding her close. She moaned, gripping his hair before pulling away, her mouth kiss swollen as she looked up at him. "Find us a room." He nodded, kissing her neck and cheek before opening her door and getting to his own side and starting the car.

He found a nice hotel, checking them into the honeymoon suite. Mostly just because it's the nicest one they have. Soon as the entered the room, Quinn tried to pin him to the wall but he stopped her, smiling nervously. "It's great to see you so eager but we should take things slow. I don't want to hurt you." She let out a breath, looking disappointment. "No. It's ok.. I understand." She stood back, he smiled weakly, holding her hand, leading her to the bed but she went out of his hold. "No, I mean I understand if you don't want to...to be with me like that." He gave her a look. "What do you mean?" She frowned, standing back. "I mean look at me. I'm 5'2, my hairs split, my hands are callused and all I do is spend too much time in the lab. Theres a chance we could never have sex again and you deserve better then some broken little girl. You could have any girl you want."

Gage walked closer to her, holding her hands, seeing the tears welling in her eyes. "What is this really about? What happened?" Quinn sniffled. "The girls at school. So many of them are tall and gorgeous and...I'm just nothing. You deserve better." He softly glared, his hands going to her face, making sure she looked him in the eye. "I don't want anybody else. You have no idea how amazing and gorgeous you are. So your not a barbie doll. Your not blonde, your not tall. I never was a fan of blondes anyway. I much prefer dark hair. Please, let me make you feel beautiful. I love you so much." A few tears fell as she nodded. "I love you to."

He gently lead her over to the bed, sitting next to each other, just holding hands. He felt Quinn shaking, just a little. He gently tilted her chin to face him. "Hey, we don't have to do anything." "I want to." Her eyes watered. "I miss you. I miss being with you." He smiled sadly. "I'm gonna kiss you. It'l lead to a few things, stop me whenever you want. Ok?" She blushed, nodding. He wrapped his arm around her waist, gently leaning in, kissing her softly, just enjoying the feel of her lips against his. He felt her relax into it, opening her mouth to deepen it. He added his tongue, exploring and tasting her.

She grabbed his shirt,pulling him down to the bed, him above her.

He smiled into the kiss, moving to kissing her neck. She moaned softly, tilting her head so he had better access, showing off soft skin. Her hands went to his shirt, going underneath while he kissed and suckled her neck. He groaned softly, feeling her feel every dip and curve of his abs. He sat up, getting the hint and taking his tee shirt off. She smirked, watching. "Oh I've missed seeing this." He chuckled, leaning back over her and gently going under her shirt. "Show me yours now?" She smirked, sitting up enough to take her shirt off and throwing it to the floor. He leaned in, kissing her softly, deeply as his hands felt her soft waist, moving up to take her bra off. She smiled, letting the bra slip from her chest, his hands throwing it to the floor with there shirts. He leaned back, looking. She blushed, suddenly feeling exposed and vunrable. He kissed her suddenly, his hand in her hair. "Your beautiful. How could you think your anything but?" She blushed deeper, kissing back. He leaned down, gently pushing her back down to the bed as he kissed her neck, going down to her breasts, suckling a nipple gently while he kneaded the other. She arched into him. "Oh yes...

He moaned, suckling a harder, switching, going t the other breast to suckle on. She whined, her hands fumbling to get her pants off. He chuckled softly, gently moving her hands away. "I got you." He gently unbuttoned the jeans before zipping them down, he kneeled, taking the jeans off gently, throwing them to the floor. She smiled to him, watching how gentle he is yet so eager. She could see how badly he wanted to touch her warmth, controlling himself from doing so. He moved up to her neck and breasts. She moaned, arching into him. She took a hold of his hand, leading it to her panties, wanting him to feel her. He pulled away enough to speak, looking serious. "Are you sure?" She nodded. He leaned down, gently taking her panties off.

She smirked to him. "You know you can take your pants off to. Havnt seen that part of you in a long time." He smirked, moving off the bed to take his own pants and boxers off, standing there nude and hard and gorgeous. She blushed. "wow..I almost forgot how gorgeous you are." He blushed, moving to lay next to her when she stopped him with a smirk. "I thought I told you I want you to touch me?" He smirked, kissing her. "You did." He gently moved his hand down to her warmth, feeling the folds and clit. She breathed out, a soft moan escaping. "mmm..." He rubbed little circles around her clit, making her grip the sheets. He chuckled softly before kissing down her stomach, to her warmth, licking a strip up the folds before licking and suckling gently. She gasped out. 'Oh God..."

He moaned. He loved eating her out, it turned him on like nothing else. He thrust his tongue as deep as he could, licking up her juices, suckling her clit. He felt her tensing up as he held her hips to his face, moaning as he did. she gasped out. "Oh god..Gage...I'm close.." She then pushed him away, he was immediately worried. "What? Did..did I do something? Are you ok?" Then her mouth crashed on his. She was panting. He could tell she was just on the edge of orgasm. Her eyes blown with lust, face flush. "You were perfect but right now I want you inside me." He swallowed nervously. "Are you sure?" She nodded, laying back, bringing him with her. He straddled her waist, kissing her neck. He spread her legs, lining himself up then gently held her face. "Hey...I want you to keep looking at me ok and listen to my voice." She nodded. He could see the nerves before the lust. He started to gently push in, keeping his hazel eyes on her dark ones.

He felt her tense and he started speaking. "Hey it's just me...it's ok. Just listen to me ok? I love you so much, your so beautiful." He felt her relax a little as he moved more inside her til he was flush with her, til he was one with her. He kissed her head, neck, waiting for an ok to move. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders, panting. "Move.." He nodded, kissing her head before moving out then thrusting back in. She moaned as he kept the steady pace, keeping it slow until she whined and moaned. "Faster.." He groaned, going faster, a little harder. She gasped out, arching into him. "Oh God...Gage...I missed this...Ahh...so close.." He crashed his lips to hers, his tongue invading hers, swallowing her moan into him making him shudder with pleasure, hiding his face in her neck, going harder faster. "Oh Quinn...I love you..." " I..ahhh I love you to...oh god...Gage ahhh.." he felt her coming around him, milking his own orgasm. He groaned, riding out his orgasm. Once they settled, he looked to her, not knowing what to expect. She sniffled, a few tears escaping. He frowned. "Did I do something wrong? Are you ok?' She nodded, smiling. "Yeah. I'm ok. Just...I just missed that. And I'm really really glad I can be with you again." He smiled, kissing her, pulling out gently and laying next to her. "How about we order some pizza and watch some crappy movies? We have the room for the night." She sniffled, smiling, wiping a few happy tears away. "Sounds amazing."
