Quintis One-Shots!

A good end, to a tough day

It was the night after the Cabe accident. Happy decided to crash at Toby's place.

   "It's been one hell of a day" she yawned.
   "Yea. I really am proud of you for today though. I know how you can't handle blood, but you did really well today." He said.
   "Thanks doc. I'm gonna go change, Sherlock tonight?" She asked, walking to 'their' bedroom.
   "Well, we have to catch up on Gotham sometime..." Toby said while walking in behind her.
He sat on the bed and watched her get her clothes and go into their bathroom. She undressed and got in the shower.
He always loved watching her do things. Even if it's as simple as taking a warm, steamy, shower. He loved it.

As she felt the warm water run down her spin, she finally felt at ease. This was her favourite time of day. This was the moment she had been waiting for ever since she woke up this morning.
It calmed her. Taking showers helped her cope when she remembered her mum. It helped her cool off after a rough day at work.
She loved it.
And as she finished her shower, and got out into the foggy bathroom air she saw Toby sitting on their bed, looking at her. She loved the way he looked at her. And to many peoples surprise, she loved a lot of things he did. She loved the way he would kiss her when she told him to get out if bed in the mornings. She loved the way he looked at her at work, when she got frustrated or upset. She loved the way he kissed her in general. It made her feel like she mattered. Which if course she did, but she actually felt it herself.

She always loved the fog on the mirror. It was the reason she took such hot showers. So she didn't have to see herself naked in the reflection off the glass on the wall.

She loved a lot of things but these, as well as many other things, are the thoughts she kept to herself.

Happy put on her sweatpants and tank top, and walked out of the bathroom.
Toby hadn't moved since she got in the shower.
She looked at him and smiled.
That was another thing she loved about Toby, she never had to worry about the silence, because it was never awkward. The silence between them was always comfortable silence. And she loved it.

She sat on the bed, in the exact same spot he had sat, as he got changed.
They walked back into the living-room-kitchen-area. And sat on the couch. She rested her head on his shoulder, and intertwined their fingers, something she would never do at the garage in front of the rest of the team. And come to think of it, there are a lot of things they don't do in front of the team, things they don't even tell them about. Happy had told Cabe a lot about her and Toby's relationship though, between the time she has spent with Cabe. He knows a lot more about them and her, than he did before everything had happened. So a lot of things that Happy and Toby do, or have done is just between the three of them, and plan to stay that way.
"We can catch up on Gotham another time." Happy responded to his previous statement.
And he turned on another episode of Sherlock.
It was a good end to a day of mixed emotions. They were both just happy that they had their family back. Their Scorpion family, and their own little family of two.
