The Vehement [ON HOLD]

~Chapter 13~

"Who's he?" Daniel asks as he enters the living room. He stops and looks at the strange man in front of him.

"Someone who's trying to kill me," Peggy says as she shrugs her shoulders.

Daniel whips around to face the brunette agent. Now that he looked at her, there was a bruise forming on her cheek and her neck showed bruises of choking. "Are you okay?"

Peggy chuckled at his sudden worry. "I'm fine, Daniel. My question for you is... Do we put him in the basement or the SSR? Frankly, I'm to tired to do the hindmost."

Daniel titled his head in agreement. "Let's leave him here for tonight. We can move him tomorrow."

*P♥D*

"Uh, a whiskey," Peggy ordered. "Please."

The bartender nodded as he started at order. Daniel watched as she gave him her order. The way her blood red lips moved with the sound of her accent. The way her slightly pinned curls bounced as she turned her head. Even after she was choked, she looks beautiful.

"So," Daniel started. Peggy focused her attention on him. "Where did you grow up?"

Peggy laughed at the irony of the beginning of the conversation. "Hampstead. Just outside of London."

Daniel nodded his head. "Do you miss England?"

"Uh," Peggy says as she's thinking. "Sometimes. It's not really something I think about a lot."

The bartender finally handed the 'couple' their drinks. Peggy took the change out of her pocket but Daniel stopped her. "I'll get it," he says.

Peggy wanted to protest but stopped and said thank you. "What did you do for the two days that I was gone?"

"Well," Daniel starts putting down his glass. "We've been trying to find a lead on the Commandant Thompson case. Nothing definitive." Peggy nodded. "I do have an idea."

"Oh? And what is that?" Peggy asked a slight smile on her face.

"Someone is after you," He says.

Peggy looks at him confused while chucking. "Captain Obvious, I think I've notice."

"No, no," Daniel chuckled. "Remember the note?"

"Yes," Peggy asked, obviously confused.

"The only person that came to the office -that wasn't already in LA- was you."

"Yes but why would someone want to kill me?" Peggy asked trying to get to Daniel's point.

"I don't know," Daniel sighed. "Maybe someone doesn't like the fact that to are actually good at what you do. Maybe they're afraid a woman could be more powerful than a man."

Peggy looked at Daniel -afterwards telling herself, unconsciously- adoringly. She was actually speechless.

Daniel surprised himself too. He had rendered the great Agent Peggy Carter speechless! He wasn't sure ifnhe liked it though. He wanted to know what was going on in her head. Would she think him differently? Probably not. Would she think that he experienced the feelings he just explained? He doesn't know.

But he realized they were both getting closer to each other. Closer than two friends would be. Tired of waiting, Daniel closed the distance between their lips. This kiss was gentle. Unlike the heated first kiss they shared.

Only moments later, Peggy pulled away and smiled. Their foreheads rested against each other. With her eyes still closed she declared, "I should probably get home. Before someone worries."

Daniel nodded, stood up and grabbed his crutch. He offered his unoccupied hand to Peggy, which she took graciously and walked her to the car. He saw her home before going to his own and collapsing on his bed.

*P♥D*

So... How was it??? 😐
I've gotta say, I'm shipping Peggysous so hard right now like I'm forgetting about Steve. Like if Civil War wasn't coming out in two months, I probably would have. That's not entirely relevant...

Anyway, loved writing the Peggysous moment and we are going to see more of that!!  *hint*2x05*hint*.

I guess I'm going to stop now. I'd like to thank @Sousas_Queen, @CSOQtacos and @chlokbo for giving me feedback! Thanks guys. Thank you everyone for reading. Really, really, reallyyyyyyy appreciate it!!!
