Andrew's POV

I knocked on Colette's door to come visit her, as Coulson instructed. I expected a warm welcome when she opened the door but instead, she kicked me on my scar hardcore.

I drop on the ground, feeling like I touched a thousand bolts of electricity. I couldn't move. It hurts fucking bad.

"WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?" I yelled at her. I growled on the ground, screaming and out of control.

Colette was saying something, not sure who she's talking to because I can't think of anything else but dying. Oh, I'm gonna die.
She put my arms on her shoulders and walked me to her bed. My visions are getting blurry. I can't breath. I could hear her yelling to Coulson, refusing to do something.
The next thing I know, she was on top of me. I have no clue what's going on. She grabbed my shirt and..

Kissed me.

All of the sudden, my heart started to beat faster, and my body didn't feel like a thousand bolts anymore and I felt calm. I kissed her back for some reason and didn't feel like stopping. She pulled away slowly, our foreheads still touching and pressed her hands to my chest, feeling my heart rate. After she knew I was calm, she got down and talked to Coulson again.

Man, why did I kiss her back?

Oh my god, why did I kiss her back. Now I must look like a douchebag in front of her. I couldn't help it, I was losing my mind. Her lips also tasted like freshly picked apricots, my favorite fruit. It's weird, when a girl randomly kisses me out of no where, I would push them away and make things awkward. I've even done that to my ex once. I didn't know why I would kiss her back besides the tasty lips. It just felt realistic, like she wasn't faking it. She was doing it with passion.

Colette prepared some chicken soup and antibiotics to make me feel better. She was literally doing everything she can do.
She re-stitched my scar, put warm towels on my forehead, feed me and even gave me a friendly snuggle. Does snuggling cure fever? It's working, so probably yes. Anyway, the more I'm with Colette, the more I see who she really is. I've seen her be a bitch to people even me. But I've never seen her this caring. It's almost impossible.

I'm glad that I have a friend like her. It's not like you get a hot, smoky girl to be your friend every day. She's different. A good type of different. I kinda like that about her.

I was still in the bed, burning like hell and it's really hard to take a nap when you have a high fever. I heard Colette walk close and sat right next to me on the bed. She caresses my cheeks.

"Oh, Andrew." She said, with a worried voice.

"I'm sorry again, for kicking you on your scar and kissing." She already apologized? Gosh, I guess I was literally losing my mind.

"You don't have to apologize for kissing me." I said. OH MY GOD. I'm still losing my mind, why would I say that? Stop saying stupid things, Andrew.

"Haha, very funny." She replied, hiding her blush. I love how she always does that. And thank god she took that as a joke.

She spent the rest of the night taking care of me. I guess she's not as serious and cold-hearted as people told me.

Maybe they just haven't seen this part of Colette Bellerose. She's not just determined, serious, and hard to people. She's way more than that.

"Good Morning. Feeling better?" Colette said while opening the curtains.

"Of course." I replied, slowly sitting up with a little back pain. I just noticed that I was half naked.

"Thanks, by the way. For taking care of me. It means a lot." I said. I was expecting her to say that it was Coulson's orders, but instead..

"Anytime, Green. I'm always here. Here you go." She handed me my shirt back.

Colette was wearing her suit again.

"Oh, just incase you forgot, We're going back to Coulson's plane. You better get showered up and get ready." Colette said while putting her gear up.

I walked back home, feeling a little better. I took a shower, put some new clothes on and went to the car with Colette.

"So, you liked the kiss?" She joked, breaking the silence as I was driving.

"Well.... It's not bad." I said.

"Oh whatever." She laughed.

"It's the second good kiss I've had in years."

"When was the first?" She looked at me. I gulped.

"It was in highschool, with this really nice girl.. We went off on this cheesy date and I wanted to make the first move so.."

"You kissed her first." Colette completed my sentence.

"Yes. I've never had a girl kiss me first, which is I guess for the first time it's cool." I replied, trying not to be awkward.

Coulson was standing in front of the plane along with his fellow agents, waiting for us. Nick Fury was also there. Is there something important going on?
Colette and I went inside the plane as Coulson escorted us to the table.

"Hello, Agent Bellerose. Mr. Green." Nick Fury welcomed us.

"So, Andrew. How are you liking Shield?" He continued.

"Well, I'm getting the hang of it." I replied.

"Good. What would you do if I said that you can be a member of SHIELD?" He suggested.

Are you kidding me? Member of SHIELD? That's everything I could possibly wish for. It's the only thing that would keep me in touch with Colette. I've never been so excited before.
I thought that Colette was gonna give me an evil glare like she always does but instead, she gave my a smile.

"It would be an honor." I said, trying to act as normal as possible.

"Good. Welcome, Andrew Green. New member of SHIELD." He showed me a level 1 badge, but didn't give it to me yet.

"But wait. You have to understand that this is serious business. You have to prove us that you're trustable and worthy to be a member. I can't just let Colette babysit you for as long as I can. You have to start training. Learn how to fight. Learn how to hack devices and use weapons. Agreed?" He explained, I nodded. He then handed me the badge.

"Thank you so much." I approved. Everyone clapped.

"Ok, everyone dismissed except Colette, Andrew and Phil." Nick Fury directed as everyone silently walked out the room.

"Andrew, now that you're officially a SHIELD member, it's time for you to start an undercover." Nick continued.

"You will be assigned to do a long term undercover in Paris, for about a month." Coulson followed.

"Hydra is now gone, but it's not completely wiped out. There's still a few people in France that are trying to build Hydra again. They're hunting for shield spies and I want you two to be the bait."

I froze. Us two? Colette and I?

"You want me to be with Andrew. Sorry sir he's a good companion but I don't-"

"Colette, you and Andrew have made a bond. I don't think it will be that hard of a mission. Both of you will act like a married couple. Coulson will be on your ears everyday and you will follow whatever he says. Understood?" Fury cut Colette off. We both nodded.

"Good. Andrew, I am relying on you. As for you Colette, this shouldn't be as hard. You've done it with Rogers. Anyways, I'll be everywhere." Nick Fury continued, and exits the plane.

Great. Now I'm an official level 1 SHIELD agent, and I'm gonna be Colette's husband in a month. This couldn't be more exciting.
