AOS ONE SHOTS

~Taking A Break~

Some of Dat Mackelena angst :) just slight.

:-:

There was a sudden shout from inside the office which caught everyone's attention. Daisy, May and Coulson were in the kitchen making food. Mainly Coulson because May can't cook to save her life and she'll just end up burning something.

Some other agents were hanging out in the lounge area a little startled by the shout.

"What's going on it there?" Daisy asked looking at May.

May just shrugged her shoulders. Jemma and Fitz came into the kitchen as  few of the other agents left. 

"Hey, anyone seen Elena?"  Jemma asked the three.

"Nope, I haven't seen her since-" May started but then realized it,"anyone seen Mack?" She then asked

"Nah"

"Nope."

"No-" Jemma started but then got on the same page as May

"Oh bloody hell." Jemma said walking over to the door knocking on it as the others watched

The door didnt open all she heard where medium shouts and yells.

:-:

"Seriously?! So I'M the problem?'!" Elena quipped.

"That's not what I said!" Mack answered back. The two have been arguing for over two hours already.

"You've been like this all week!!!" Elena replied now she was angry. Mack sighed deeply,

"Look, it's been a busy week! I'm sorry that you feel that way! Shield needs a leader. I can't be there okay?" Mack replied sitting down in his chair.

"Yeah, I know that. Shield this, shield that. It's getting annoying, take a break for once!" Elena said crossing her arms.

"It's like I don't exist to you. You've ignored me for the past month." Elena said her last sentence hurt his heart a little. It was slightly true, he was all caught up in work these past few months.

"You do, I'm just busy." Mack replied going to paperwork.

"Seriously a break won't hurt, why can't you just--" Elena started but was cut off by a slam. Mack's hand had slammed the top of his desk, making her jump back a bit by the sudden action.

"ENOUGH. I'M NOT THE PROBLEM ELENA. ITS YOU. YOU'RE THE PROBLEM, NOT EVERYTHING CAN BE DONE RIGHT."  Mack snapped at her. Now it wasn't her turn to be in slight shock.

Silence came between the two. She could feel tears forming in her eyes, Yes he just admit he had ignored her for the past month, He couldn't do both. He'd been busy with work being director was hard.

"I-" Mack stumbled seeing Elena shocked with tears in her eyes. He didn't mean to snap at her like that. Guess he was that worked up that he snapped at his own girlfriend. And he had to emit he had ignored her for the past month.

Elena didn't say another word but burst out the door which turned into her facing a shocked team all looking at her then bolting down the hallway. 

"Elena! Wait-!" Mack started going after her but stopped when she was already down the end of the hall turning the corner. Everyone looked at him.

"What just happened-" Daisy said.

May walked up to where Mack and Jemma where.

"What was that about?" Jemma asked now concerned.

"I-" He sighed," I yelled at her and I didn't mean to get that mad at her..." he admitted, maybe he was worked up. He did need a break.

"Go talk to her... and take a break, I'll handle things around here..." May then spoke up

"But...I, I can't...Not like this.." Mack answered stumbling on his words.

"She doesn't need to listen to us right now. She to listen to you..." May said quietly. Mack began walking away to the hallway.

:-:

He knocked on the door, She didn't answer.

"Elena...I'm sorry..." He said quietly. The hallway was empty and it was just the silence there with him.

"Go away." He then heard a reply from what sounded like Elena. Her voice was all raspy and she sounded upset. Very upset but he couldn't blame her. By this point the didn't care, he opened the door and then closed it behind him. Elena was laying there on the bed, her back was to him.

"Elena..." He tried again. He sat on the edge of the bed.

No response. He climbed over to her and now her back was to his chest.

"Yo-yo... I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I got upset.." Mack said snuggling into the crook of her neck. She smelled like vanilla and roses.

She then rose up and he rose up with her. He caressed her cheek gently as she leaned into the touch and he intertwined their fingers.

"You mean it...?" She voice still really and sounded dry.

"Yes, I'm sorry I yelled at you, I really am. Like I said I wasn't just upset and I guess I was over worked. I didn't know I needed  a break that badly but I' didn't mean to say that---" He rambled but was cut of by her lips meeting his.

"Be quiet turtleman...." She said pulling away from the kiss. He didn't respond, all he did was wrap his hands around her waist and pulled her closer and then kissed her once again. The kiss was soft and passionate as well as it was filled with slight anger. He broke the kiss had air became a problem

"Forgive me?" He asked

She just smiled softly as him, another Tear rolled down her cheek. He then used his thumb to wipe it away cupping her cheek. They weren't seen for the rest of the afternoon. The team just let it be, the two had a lot to make up on.
