Disclaimer: please see chapter 1.
A/N: All right so here is chapter 2 or the 2nd Blush. Hope that it's not too rambly. I want to get them all completed today and hopefully posted. This one turned out a bit longer than the first. Again this is unbeta'd so all mistakes are on me. Let me know what y'all think. And thank you to all who stopped by for the first chapter. Happy 4th of July!
The second time Jensen made Cougar blush had been more of an experiment than accident—a serious risk to his health. He had spent just shy of two months, or about four missions, using a web cam to grab images of the mostly elusive sniper—even managing to sneak a few of him sleeping. It had taken him a couple more missions for him to crop himself out of most of the web cam shots. Cougar being a mile away from his position at his sniper perch made setting up the experiment that much easier.
The experiment was simple Jensen merely wanted to see what kinds of things would make Cougar blush. Ever since he'd caught the slight pink coloring the sniper's cheeks after he'd eaten a chocolate bar after his third mission with his new unit, Jensen had not only wanted to see it again, but been curious what would/could cause the man to blush.
Clicking open the files he wanted the older man to find, Jensen hummed to himself and waited for Cougar to reappear in the room. It was a simple plan, a brilliantly simple plan. The only downsides he could find to his plan were the risk of Cougar shooting him for sneaking pictured of him and the waiting involved. He tapped his fingers in a harsh rhythm against the motel table as he waited for the sniper to enter their room—then it was time to begin the experiment.
Jensen's heart thumped hard against his ribs when his ears picked up the soft click of the door knob being turned. He did his best to not blush himself as he pretended to type on the keyboard of his laptop—waiting for Cougar to let his presence be known. His wait was over moments later when the sniper lightly touched the back of the cheap chair Jensen was sat in on his way to the bed next to the window.
"Hey, Cougs!" Jensen greeted brightly, turning away from the work he was not doing on the laptop. "Could you do me a favor? I want to grab a quick shower before we have to head out to find the next target, could you print the mission specs for me?"
He studied his teammate for a long second before quickly vacating the chair and disappearing into the small bathroom. He turned the water on in the shower, and went to wait by the door to listen for any type of noise from Cougar. He heard nothing. Deciding that he need to make it look like he'd actually taken a shower, Jensen stripped down to his boxers, removed his glasses and thrust his head into the luke warm spray of the shower to wet it. Shutting off the water, he shook excess water from his blond hair, and fumbled for his glasses on the counter before grabbing one of the cheap towels. He wrapped it hastily around his waist, pushing the waistband of his boxers low on his hips.
Taking a steadying breath, and taking the fact that he was still breathing as a good sign the hacker opened the bathroom door.
He glanced at the portable printer, and neat stack of papers sitting next to it.
"Thank you," he said, turning his gaze to the figure stretched prone on the bed. He watched as Cougar turned to look at him, hat once more set low in an attempt to conceal his face. For a long second Cougar stared at the younger man before giving a brief nod in acknowledgement before turning away again.
Jensen smiled. The experiment had mostly gone to plan. The pictures on the computer had failed to elicit the desired response from the sniper, but his half naked body had apparently done the trick. Jensen decided then that he really liked the light pink flush coloring his teammate's cheeks. He just wondered if perhaps he could make the man turn a darker shade of pink.
