It was nearing half past ten in the evening and despite the late hour, there were still a couple of soldiers walking through the halls, holding quiet conversations, especially when they passed the sleeping quarters.

Not only that, but of course there were also evening patrols assigned to various areas in the headquarters.
That was probably why Y/n nearly had a heart attack when she sneaked inside Ariana's chamber.

To make things much worse, Sage and Raze nearly caught her when they were on their way to their own sleeping quarters. Thankfully, she managed to enter the code to the door and dived in just in time.

Unlike the usual battle gear, she was just wearing a pair of black sweatpants, a plain white tank top and of course her signature yellow jacket and green beanie. She also brought some clothes she could change into once morning comes, so she wouldn't stand out and look unusual if ever she got caught walking back to her quarters in her pajamas in case she wakes up late the next day.

The question remains though... Was Ariana willing to allow her spend the night with her ?

Y/n shook her head. She placed her overnight bag on the floor at the end of the bed, shrugging her jacket off and leaving it on top of the bag before she plopped down on the sheets, which were pristine and free of any sort of wrinkle until she had occupied it. Since Ariana was still not around, she figured she could take a moment to look at any decorations that could possibly adorn the walls of the quarters.

   Unsurprisingly, there wasn't much to look at. The walls were practically bare save for a few of Ariana's gear hanging on hooks and equipment mounted on the surface. If those weren't there, the tech whiz wouldn't have known if this was where Ariana actually sleeps at.

  She sighed, drawing circles with her finger over the bed sheet, which was apparently dark green. A small chuckle left her, laying herself across the bed and taking in one of the two pillows in her arms. Y/n smiled as she buried the lower half of her face in the chemist's pillow, taking in the the perfumed scent it possessed. There was also an undertone of citrus, which reminded her of the aromatic smell of wine. It suited Ariana more than anybody else.

  Sitting back up, Y/n continued to embrace the pillow against her as she began to think about what would soon follow once Ariana returns from her lab. In absolute honesty, Y/n hadn't exactly planned anything when it comes to sleeping with Ariana. She didn't think she'd get this far so quickly.

  "Probably should've considered the possibilities." She thought to herself before she eventually shook her head. How was she supposed to know that Ariana would even offer this type of commitment ? "Wait, if we do this - does that mean she's mine ? Or is this one of those one-night-stand kind of dates ?"

Hiss !

   Y/n abruptly sat upright when the door hissed open, revealing the chemist, who was just ending her conversation with Omen. The latter tilted his head in the tiniest bit possible when he spotted Y/n on the bed, the young agent smiling sheepishly and giving a small wave of a hand. There was as no point in hiding it anyway. "Looks like you have company." Omen commented with his usual low and husky voice, glancing over Ariana's shoulder.
