"Let's make things different this time." He spoke, straightening his shoulders as he stared at his best friend. It was currently their free time, separated from their work with WICKED for the day.

His brown eyes held a mischievous glimmer, their usual game of laser tag getting boring. Time to switch things around as he slightly adjusted his hold on his laser gun.
"What did you have in mind, Tom?" She responded, intrigued as she stepped forward. Her pink lips tilted up into a smirk, noticing his breathing hitch as she moved closer to him.

"Every time that I shoot you, I want a kiss." Thomas muttered, softly as he glanced at her pink lips before he glanced back at her. He secretly wanted to taste them in his mouth.

Her cheeks flushed red at his words, feeling herself becoming lost in his brown eyes as she meekly nodded. She couldn't deny that she wanted to taste his lips too. Her heart was racing at the request as intense electricity filled the air, feeling the familiar magnetic pull between them.

"And what do I get if I shoot you?" Teresa whispered, softly as she stared back at him. She smiled seductively, her fingers tightening her hold on her laser gun as she saw him swallow hard.

"What do you want?" He responded, quietly as he watched her pretend to think for a while. He found it strangely adorable.
"How about...." She whispered, her words trailing off before she leant closer to his ear and told him her secret desire.

He silently listened to her whispered words, his eyes widening as he processed her words. A intense longing stirred in his chest, his foot tapping the ground in order to distract himself at the bold request before his hand grabbed her elbow and tugged her closer.
"I can work with that..." He muttered, his brown eyes darkened as he saw her innocently smile at him.

He suddenly didn't feel like playing laser tag anymore, already imagining a flushed Teresa falling apart underneath him. It was moments like this that Thomas felt happy no matter what WICKED was planning and it was because of her.

"Good...." She spoke, softly as she raised her laser gun at his chest and pulled the trigger. A giggle escaped her mouth as she watched Thomas take the shot with acceptance before she playfully ran off in the opposite direction.

He let out a shaky breath, suddenly wanting Teresa to shoot him as many times as she could and instantly chased after the blue eyed beauty. Challenge accepted.
