They're sitting with their backs against the interrogation room wall, legs stretched out in front of them and their hands clasped together on his lap while he plays with her fingers. It's not ideal, they know, but they were an hour away from an undisclosed location where Nick Fury was waiting to prove Grant Ward's story.
He was not HYDRA.
This was the best they could do until then, and Skye was grateful for these moments. So very grateful.
"Ohio," he murmurs, his thumb brushing across the back of her hand, "And another in North Dakota."
"Hm?"
"Safe houses," Grant clarifies with a smile, "Ones I set up out of Fury and Garrett's reach, the closest to where we're going is in Massachusetts."
The hacker lets out a laugh, "Thinking of running away?"
"I did when the list was first released."
A list containing the names of every HYDRA agent within SHIELD had been recovered and less than 24-hours later, Gran Ward had locked himself and Skye in Fitzsimmons' lab, sitting her down to tell her everything. The commotion of the others trying to reopen the doors occurred outside, while the man laid down his soul and a SAT-phone with Nick Fury's contact number saved on it.
She wasn't supposed to have found out the truth that way Ward had planned to let her in earlier, but he'd waited too long. Despite his horrible timing, she listened and waited.
And now they are here. In this not ideal situation with everyone's faith and trust on the line, but their feelings out there. Skye wasn't going to wait in fear for the other shoe to drop down on this moment, because the man beside her was doing enough of that for the both of them.
"Well I would have runaway with you," Skye states firmly, looking up from their joint hands.
"And leave the team?"
"I would be nothing much of a SHIELD agent without my Supervising Officer."
He looks up at her with creased eyebrows and she's simply grinning as she nudges his shoulder with hers. Skye watches his face as the frown disappears with the shake of his head and a chuckle.
Grant smiles, turning his head to press a kiss to her forehead, "Can't live without you either Rookie."

I mixed two prompts together because they were being stupid. And this occurred. I may mix prompts more often. Because like. 9 down and 33 or so to go.
