Walter - I will always love you

Throwing your bag over your shoulder, you picked up your keys and grabbed your phone.

"Where you going (Y/N)?" Toby asked.

"Got somewhere to be."

"At this time?" Happy asked suspiciously, "it's 10 o'clock at night."

You gave the pair of them a small smile and squeezed past, quickly darting towards the door.

"Hey, leaving so soon? We just got back..." Paige muttered.

"Sorry, busy." You replied.

With that, you ran out, quickly unlocking your car and jumping in.

You went to slam the door shut, but a hand in the way made you quickly stop, looking up the meet the owner of the hand you came face to face with Cabe.

"What's going on? You never miss an after case meal with the team."

Sighing, you gestured to the passenger seat and he got in and you closed your door.

"So, what's going on kiddo?"

"It's nothing Cabe, I've just got somewhere else I need to be tonight."

"Like what? You're never usually this anxious to get out the garage. Is this about what happened on the case?"

"No... no. It's just.. I need some time to be on my own..." you sighed, "I just.. need to be somewhere."

"Are you sure you're okay?" He asked.

"Yeah. Im good, I promise."

You could tell Cabe wasn't convinced at all, be he didn't push the questioning any further, he simply nodded his head and pressed a kiss to the side of yours before he got out of the car.

"If you need anything don't hesitate to call."

"I will do Cabe. Thank you."

He smiled and left, closing the door to let you drive off.

Before you could even get out of the parking lot someone else blocked you, it was Walter. The moment you stopped the car he hopped into the passenger seat and you started driving again.

"What's up Walter?"

"I'm heading home with you."

"Hmm, okay. What's wrong though?"

Walter scratched the back of his hand, flicking his gaze between you and the road.

"Well... Uhm.. I just noticed you're.. Uhm.. not acting yourself.." he mumbled, "I.. Uhm.. want to say sorry about what happened on the case..."

You smiled softly and let out a sigh, reaching over you grabbed his hand and gave it a small squeeze before letting go.

"It's fine Walt, it was a tough case, everybody gets stressed out some times."

"No.. no it's not okay. It wasn't fair, you were only trying to help.. and.. and I snapped at you.."

You pulled into the parking lot of your apartment complex and got out of your car, Walter following close behind.

"Walt, I know you didn't mean it. It's alright." You laughed.

Walter didn't say anything for a few minutes up until you reached your shared apartment.

"(Y/N)... I.. I did mean it.. that's the thing.. that what scares me.. I meant everything I said..."

You shook your head and walked over, placing your hands on his cheeks, giving him a smile again.

"Listen to me Walter O'Brian. Yes, you snapped, and said some hurtful things, but everyone does that sometimes. I know I've said hurtful things to you before, everyone has their ups and downs."

Walter raises his hands and gently placed them over yours, all while leaning into one of your palms.

"You.. you're not mad at me..?"

"Oh darling.. of course not." You whispered.

Leaning in, you gently gave him a kiss, resting your forehead on his after.

"You're not the most emotionally understanding Walt, but that's okay. You know why? Because I love you, all of you, including your smarts, your lack of understanding of emotions, your need to solve everything. All. Of. You."

"I love you too." He whispered.

Walter leant in to kiss you again, wrapping his arms around your back while you wrapped yours around his neck, breaking from the kiss to bury your face into the crook of his neck
