He knew she had doubts about them, but he wished she would give them a chance.

Eric's Apartment
The rising sun shown through just enough of the blinds to cause Eric to wake up in his darkened room. His alarm clock started it's normal playing of the radio that it would do on the weekends. This would allow him to get an idea on the surf early enough that he could get out with time to spare. He turned his head away from the offending sunbeam and his eyes met the fiery red hair of his bedmate, still asleep.
Eric rolled onto his side and propped his head on his fist. She had rolled over in her sleep taking the bulk of the blanket with her. She clutched it in front of her, but her back was completely exposed. Erics eyes following the lines of her spine down her back to the very top curve of her butt and back up, drinking in the beauty of her skin. Memories of last night rolled in.
It had been another one of their late Friday night hangout sessions that involved food, drinks, movies, games, and, in the last few months, making out and having sex. What started as a purely physical comfort thing had quickly evolved, much faster than Eric had expected. He knew she had doubts about them, for one reason or another that she was mum on.
On the radio a song started to play that Eric couldn't help by smile about
(Start Song)
Oh, damn, it's midnight, and it's happened again
Just wanted to talk, but now we're more than just friends
I could drown in your love, but I think I need air
We could have it all
If you just believe
If you just believe
The same could not be said for Eric. He knew that this woman, this goddess of beauty that lie before him was who he wanted to be with. He wanted to explore the depths of her mind, already becoming very well versed in her body. He quickly learned where she loved to be touched and the ways to turn her into a melting puddle in his hands. Oh yes, he was a good student.
It always felt like it was a dream when they ended up like this. It would start with innocent cuddling on the couch trying to work through emotions caused by their job. Fear of losing a coworker, sadness for a victim of a horrible crime, stress from saving the world over and over. Then one night, after a particular hard case for them, she had decided to express her gratitude that he was in her life by kissing him. It caught him off guard but he recovered quickly to return the kiss. She led him to her bedroom and they undressed each other, no sign of nervousness in either of their movements even though it was the first time they had taken this step in their partnership.
Oh, damn, it's daylight, still in my bed
Got visions of us on repeat in my head
I could drown in this love, but I think I need air
We could have it all
Eric had seen her in swimsuits during their beach hangouts and it seemed that as time went on the swimsuits showed more skin. Not that Eric had any problem with that but a few times he had to go jump into the cool water to calm some of his body's more annoying reactions to seeing her strip off her cover. He knew Deeks noticed his eyes bulging out of his head before he took off toward the water. As they paddled out Deeks gave him a knowing look before zipping his lip. For all the detective's quirks he was a good friend when it came to keeping secrets.
I can't keep hangin' with you when I know it's wrong
Stay awake in your room, it makes me want you more
In everything that I do
I keep on hangin' with you
If you just believe
If you just believe
But this was something special. This was her taking off her last barrier, both physical and metaphorical, as she stood in front of him in all her naked glory. She looked like a renaissance painting with her hair falling down her chest before she flicked it back and gave him the full-frontal view. She pulled him into bed with her and they spent all night giving themselves to each other, from touches and kisses to using their mouths for pleasure and finally joining together in the union of pleasures.
If you just believe
If you just believe
I want love
Show me you need me
If you just believe
I want love
Show me you need me
If you just believe
After their final climax together, she laid on top of him and fell asleep. He always stayed awake for a bit longer to make sure she was asleep before he let himself fall asleep.
I want love
Show me you need me
If you just believe
I want love
Show me you need me
If you just believe
Eric came back to the present and smiled, seeing her stir slightly. He reached over and pulled the blanket up, covering her back before placing a gentle kiss on her shoulder. He rolled over and sat up, adjusting the blinds to keep the sun out as he pulled on a pair of boxers and some pants before making his way to the bedroom door. He took one look back and the sleeping figure on his bed, her red hair splayed out but a contented smile on her face.
Oh, damn, it's daylight, still in my bed
Got visions of us on repeat in my head
I could drown in this love, but I think I need air
We could have it all
I can't keep hangin' with you when I know it's wrong
Stay awake in your room, it makes me want you more
We'll keep on bendin' the rules 'til the sun comes up
I can't keep hangin' with you if you just believe
He mentally counted down another day when they would finally announce to the world something that he had known for months, years even.
He loved her, his Rockstar, his Ununoctium, his Nell Jones.
He loved her.
I heard this song on my Spotify and the episode just wrote itself. Not much more to it then that. If I can find the right song I might write the inverse (Ala No Going Back/No Looking Back)
I have decided that I amd going to start winding this down. I will write a few more episodes that I have in the works and then I am going to end with a final episode.
I will still do the Tales from the Mission After Dark to do a few NSFW ideas I have but that will be limited to maybe 5 episodes at the most.
Thank you for Reading, Reviewing, Favoriting, and Following as always.
