Taste
"Come on Ward, I'm starving here. Just bring me one slice of pizza," Skye whines.
"You know your orders, Rook, no solid food for at least a week," he chuckles.
"I'll drink your whole stupid protein shake," she offers, batting her eyelashes at him.
"Your body doesn't need the extra stress of trying to digest the junk you usually eat. This is for your own good," he declares with a note of finality. Her eyes narrow, returning the completely full shake to the tray, before crossing her arms over her chest.
"This is punishment isn't it," she grumbles.
"Why would I be punishing you?" he asks, honestly confused at how she has come to that conclusion.
"Because I went against 'Protocol' going into that mansion. Because I let Mike get away. Because… I don't know… you are a fascist who is enjoying watching me slowly starve to DEATH." She builds up steam with each complaint, anger evident in her eyes for the first time he can remember. She sound broken though, tears tracking down her cheeks.
He wants to be angry with her. She is being silly and childish, when he is only trying to follow orders. If he is honest with himself, she's right, he is angry at her for going into that house. She is supposed to let him protect her, but instead she went into an unknown situation and got herself shot. So yeah, he might have been enjoying her frustration a little, but as she turns away from him, all enjoyment disappears.
"I will check with Simmons. See if we can get you something a little more satisfying, but in the meantime drink your shake. I added lychee because I know how much you like them," he says, before moving to leave.
"You made it special?" she can't help but ask, turning back to him. She can't stay mad at him when he is spending every spare minute making sure she is comfortable and entertaining her with endless rounds of Uno.
He leans on the doorway, scratching his neck.
"Well, you know, you weren't eating, so…" he shrugs.
She smirks, "Be careful Ward, if you keep being nice to me people might think you are malfunctioning."
He rolls his eyes, heading off to find Simmons.
a/n: so I know that this was really short, but I think it kind of just seems to work as quick little interaction, so I hope you like it, and please review, I don't know if this is really the end or not, let me know if you are interested in more. also this takes place like day 2 after she wakes up.
