Hey guys! I am writing this before monday's episode which is yesterday's episode for you guys. And I assure you that I am probably watching that episode and overanalyzing every part of it and squealing from my emotional heart cramps. My brother probably laughed at me during the entire episode. Also, check out the collab I did with somuchmorethanpartners. If you want to read that it's called "Soulmates". Today I'm publishing an au oneshot I wrote about quintis. If you want to read that it's called "Across The Fence" and it's pretty long and I spent a ton of time of it. Anyway, thanks you reading this, let me know what you think, and send me your ideas

Happy was freezing. Toby was out with Sylvester on a desperate mission to make him less afraid of the dark. It was the kind of cause that only Toby could get behind. When he invited the other members of scorpion they had all rolled their eyes and declined. Even Happy had refused to join him on his hopeless mission.

She couldn't have seen it coming. The power had gone out in this section of LA. She had looked for a way to get it back, but had found none. There was nothing to do but wait. Before she had had the chance to call Toby, her phone had died. It was awfully convenient.

Now, the house was freezing cold. The dogs sat beside her pressed against her, and she had covered herself with every blanket she could find. She was still cold. This was worse than Antarctica. Well, I mean not really, but in this moment she felt like it was.

So, with no way to contact Toby, and no way to get warm she was pretty stuck. At this moment, she wished she had been more on board with forcing Sly into situations he didn't want to be him. She couldn't imagine that Toby was in any rush to go home, and that meant it could be hours before he arrived.

For once, he wasn't enjoying the night out. He had tried to. Oh God he had tried, but Sylvester had ruined every attempt. He ordered a drink, and Sylvester lectured him on the danger buying drinks that aren't in sealed packages. There's a risk of disease blah, blah, blah, and do you even know where those french fries have been?

Sly wasn't even the worst part of it. He didn't particularly like being away from Happy. On the outside he played it cool, or tried to, but on the inside he was the world's clingiest husband. Without her here, he was pretty much going insane. Single Toby might have been happy here, but married Toby just couldn't take it.

"Alright, Sly, let's go home. You've had enough," He announced.

"You are definitely right about that. Do you have any idea how many diseases I could have already contracted? And they don't even have any hand sanitizer here," Sylvester replied quickly.

Toby walked slowly to the car in defeat. "We're listening to my music on the car ride home, and I don't want you to comment on how loud it is," He threatened.

"Gotcha."

"Happy, it was the worst night ever," He announced as he stepped into the house. None of the lights were on, and Happy was nowhere to be seen. Which was strange considering the fact that it was only 9 o'clock, and there were always lights on in this house. "Hey, Hap, where are you?" He called. He didn't hear a response. Maybe she was asleep. "Did the power go off?" He ask as he walked upstairs.

He found her shivering on the bed with at least twelve blankets thrown on top of her and the dogs. "You ok?" He questioned.

"Do I look ok to you?" She snapped quietly. "It's freezing."

"It's not that bad," He moved the dogs out of the way, and crawled under the blankets with her. He wrapped his arms around her, and pulled her very, very close. He could now feel her shaking. It was extreme. "Ok, maybe it is a little bad," He revised.

"It's cold," She observed.

"How long has the power been out?" He asked.

"About two and a half hours I think," She told him.

"Why didn't you call me? I could've come home. I definitely would have. It was basically the worst night ever. I wouldn't have even complained about you asking me to come home early," He babbled.

"My phone ran out of battery," She explained. "I didn't have means of charging it."

"God, this takes me back," He sighed. "Do you remember Antarctica?"

"I was unconscious for most of it," she informed him. "But yes I recall the fact that we nearly froze to death."

"We nearly die all the time. I wasn't all that worried," He laughed.

"You're a liar," She scoffed.

"You don't know that. As you said before, you were unconscious," He pointed out.

"So, I was freezing to death and unconscious, and you weren't even a little bit worried?" She raised her eyebrows.

"Of course I was. I'm just saying you didn't know that," He told her.

"I think I like being awake and cold less than being knocked out and cold," She admitted.

"At least we aren't going to die."

"I mean I don't know I am very cold. If only there was some way to keep me warm," Happy teased.

"I will be right back with a sleeping bag in hand."

The power had come back on in the middle of the night. It was 9 am. He was already gone. He had left a note for her that he had had to run an errand for Walter apparently. She didn't doubt that. Walter was always interrupting their Sundays.

She plugged in her cell phone in order to stay connected herself. As soon as the phone turned on it loaded four missed calls from Walter and three texts from Paige. Apparently, Walter had been hoping for more hope than just Toby. Paige's texts told her to disregard Walter and continue with whatever morning she was having. She wondered why they were always up so early.

Five minutes later, she was making her breakfast. There was no cooking involved. She wasn't allowed to cook. Which was actually pretty fair, she once had ruined microwavable mac and cheese. After that incident(and many others), Toby had made the executive decision to keep her out of the kitchen.

He walked through the door and when he smelled food he immediately called, "Happy, you know we have rules about you being in the kitchen. I know you can take care of yourself and all, but we can't afford to buy a new kitchen or a new house." He smiled at her as he entered the kitchen.

"Strictly toaster waffles, I promise," She informed him.

"I got you something," He grinned..

"Well that's not a very good way to save money," She laughed. "Also, I thought you were running errands for Walter."

"I made an extra stop," He explained. "So you don't want it?"

"I didn't say that," She stated. He opened his hand to reveal yet another charm for her bracelet. It was a snowflake. "If you keep buying me these, they're gonna start to weigh down my wrist." She moved away from the toaster, and kissed him briefly. "Thank you."
