She is My Agent

Chap 4: My Secret Love

Should have kept my mouth shut. SHOULD HAVE KEPT MY MOUTH SHUT.

I should have kept my big, lousy mouth shut.

Skye kept thinking. Why on freaking hell did I say that to Coulson?

"You are my home..."

Really? Skye? What were you thinking? Your new-found-Quekiness is nowhere near an excuse for this mistake. True that I am feeling sick but to just blurt your darkest secret out to the very man who is subjected to the secrecy, is beyond imaginable.

Coulson is the person, the only man who ever cared for her. He put everything on the line for her safety. He risked everything for her. His shoulder was always there for her to cry on. He was the protector of trouble-seeking-unstable-me. The hell itself froze when Grant betrayed her and the team. It was hard on everybody, especially Coulson. But he was with her on every step of the way to recovery. He held her when things are darker than black. He comforted her when she was feeling down. He had faith in her when she herself didn't. He was the perfect guardian. Just like a father...

The ugly universal truth is that, Girls falls in love with men who are like their fathers or with whom they always wanted their fathers to be like. Girls are not satisfied with the hot, steamy, always-in-bed-making-out relationships. They wanted their partners to care beyond measures, hold them when things are tricky and offer that unconditional love.

Just like Coulson did to her.

Yes, and she went and fell in love with this too perfect man who is everything to her.

The worst part is that she just cannot keep her bloody mouth shut about it.

"Hello, flower." Captain America sat next to her chuckling for an inside joke.

"Hey C.A., are we getting their anytime soon?" Skye liked the guy. He was cool and funny. But his smile always had a hurt mingled in. His eyes lamented for somebody. Almost as if he is guilty for being alive.

"Hopefully we will, but there is this crazy mystique darkness swelling through the whole area. Things are sure getting ugly by minute."

"We need to hurry. I am not sure if the SHIELD and the rest could hold the ground for much longer if the aliens are to descend. Lives at stake. That stupid crazy head will lose his neck if we do not reach New York on time." The last part of the sentence was Skye aka Daisy Johnson thinking aloud.

"Which crazy head are we talking about?"

"Coulson." Skye blurted out before she couldn't stop herself.

"You mean Phil?" C.A. asked, looking surprised. "Phil is alright. Straight guy. Professional. A hard nut. Came back from the dead too. He will manage."

I can agree with that –nut part, Skye mumbled.

"Most of the times that I am NOT with him, he either finds himself strapped on a free-brain-washing machine or losing a limb of his many parts of the body."

Captain America chuckled.

"Worried about your lover, eh?" Tony Stark cut in. This guy is a pain on the ass. I have no idea how Pepper manages to be with him.

"Oh, shut up Tony. I was talking about Coulson..."

"Exactly my point. You WERE talking about your lover!"

"Tony, he is my DIRECTOR. You shall not go about destroying his character with all this bull shit!"

"Oh! Is that so? Darling, both of you are in denial. It is a defense mechanism."
