“I’m sorry, I did not mean to hurt my little girl
It’s beyond me, I cannot carry the weight of the heavy world
So goodnight, goodnight, hope that things work out all right”
They were finally face to face , after days in which he had to hide . He had returned home, but who knows for how long , and especially he wonder if he could still consider it as his home. He stretch out , almost involuntarily , in that room that looked so perfectly in order. She was there, in front of him .
"Why?" He wondered , "Why am I doing this? Why to you? You just had to be a part of the plan , "he thought ," But here I am, what I do is think about the fact that i will maybe not see you ever again “
She was perfect , as always. Those puppy eyes that always make him miss a beat every time his eyes crossed hers . That smile , and the absurd power that it can enlighten his day in an instant . Those dark curls that framed her face and those lips , and how he wanted to kiss her at that time.
That kiss ,those perfect lips on his who had managed to send shivers down his spine , it was the only thing he could think of . He thought only of how that moment seemed perfect, as all seemed right and at the same time incredibly wrong.
Grant Ward had chosen the darkness , but Skye remained his only ray of light.
The Hydra wanted her , Garrett wanted her too, and now he diden’t know which side to take . Garrett owed his life , but be on his side meant to hurt Skye , who had actually saved his life . And now she stood there , as beautiful as never before.
" Why do you make me everything so difficult? " He thought, while she was pouring cognac in a glass.
But maybe it was not all lost. Skye was the most kind and generous person he had ever known , she would never hurt anyone, and maybe , if he was pulled back at that time, if he went back on the right side , she , with a little ’ of time, would able to forgive him.
" Hey , why the long face ? " She said , sitting down in front of him , holding a beer for her and his glass of cognac.
" Too many thoughts ," he said , taking the glass from her hands .
They were having ” their drink ,” they were drinking something together , and he knew he was going to ruin everything.
"Want to talk about it , then?" She asked , almost motherly tone .
" Honestly, no ," he said .
Don’t run away.
" Hey, I’m here for this! " She said, putting a hand on his knee .
I don’t want to hurt you.
"it’s better if you don’t know this things" he said .
"As you wish Ward ! " She said resignedly .
I can’t live without you.
" So what? Want even withdraw my badge ? " he attempted to joke .
"Don’t joke about these things," she said with a tired smile .
I love when you smile.
" I was just trying to ease the tension ," he said .
I don’t want to see you sad, you’re breaking my heart.
"I had a badge for how long? 3 weeks ? And the agency has just been dismantled bt Hydra . I’m start thinking of not being a good agent as I thought . "
It’s not your fault.
"You ‘re so good , ‘he said .
"And so are you" she said .
" Not always . I’m not a good man Skye "
She looked dazed for a few seconds .
" What do you mean ? " She asked.
"What I am about to tell you might not like it" he said .
And it might even make you run away from me forever.
"I’m ready for anything ," she replied , with a smile.
Don’t make things so difficult .
" Garret is not at the Fridge . " Grant said , almost holding his breath.
"You mean that bastard managed to escape ? " Asked Skye.
" Yes, I helped him ," said Grent , almost closing his eyes.
Don’t run away .
"You what? " She said.
I need you .
"I’m one of them Skye " he said simply , looking down .
I love you Skye.
"It can’t be ! " She said.
I love you Rockie .
He then tried to grab her by the wrist ” But I’m here now , i’m here to stay . I have chosen you, Skye , I chose you. “
He was waiting for that kiss for days , her lips on his and the world seemed to stop. There was no longer SHIELD , Hydra , there was only the two of them. The weight on his heart had finally gone, Skye had healed him .
No, please don’t cry .
She stood up suddenly , without a word and ran away from him. Grant stood there , standing, as she ran away from him, perhaps forever. He could swear , his heart had just stopped.
Don’t run away .
He ran after her and he found her in a small bathroom , after hours of searching .
I’m stupid , I’m an asshole.
She was in tears , he might hear her sobs through the door.
Don’t cry, my love.
They stayed like that for hours , Grant sat with his back against the door, and Skye in the same position on the other side . He woulden’t have ever gone, not this time .
I lost her forever.
" Ward ? " he heard on the other side of the door .
" Skye ? " He said.
" Are you still there ? " Said Skye.
Yes, and I will not go away again.
"Sure," he said. He was crying with her. Yes, that girl was definitely upset his equilibrium .
"Why?" She asked.
"I don’t even know right now ," he said .
"This is not an answer , Grant ," she said .
But it’s the only answer I can give you .
Skye then opened the door . Her face was streaked with tears , and she was still crying .
Don’t cry, my love.
" If it’s true you’re here to stay," she began , " if it’s true that you’re back on our side, you’ll want to break any of their necks when they come looking for us , or I will not trust you anymore "
"I’m here to stay Skye "
I will not leave , ever.
" Try it , prove it . I need certainty Grant " She would have liked to hate him, but she coulden’t. She loved him more than anything else in the world.
"I can swear Skye , I chose you"
" Swear on what you care the most in the world "
" I swear to you," he replied, without hesitation. Skye diden’t know if she could trust him. He knew he would break her heart , over and over again , but it was almost normal for her to hug him. They stayed that way for endless minutes , in each other ‘s arms.
And for Grant, that embrace meant to breathe .
I’m not leaving Skye
I will not leave you this time
I love you
I love you more than anything else in the world
you’re my only light in this darkness .
I can’t live without you
don’t run away
I need you
save me from the darkness
I’m sorry.
