Timeless: One Shots

Evening Strolls

       The wind started to pick up as Lucy Preston walked down the slick sidewalk. It had recently snowed, but she didn't care she just needed to clear her mind. The missions to the past have been taking a toll on her. First, she lost her sister, but gained her mother. Second, she found out she had a fiancé. Lastly, she might have started to have feelings for her partner Wyatt Logan.
  
         It was a crazy thought because they had only met weeks ago. However, there was just something about him that drew her in. It could have been those bright blue eyes or that sly smirk he always had near her. Whatever it was she couldn't stop thinking about him.

        As she returned to the real world she realized it was snowing lightly. She wasn't really cold so she continued walking down the deserted road. She managed to walk to the local park miles from her mother's house. She didn't care though because what lay before her was beautiful. The snow covered ground and fairy lights hanging from the trees brought the park to light.

       There was a slight movement on a bench that caught Lucy's eye. Low and behold she saw the one and only Wyatt Logan sitting alone. She quietly glided over to him.

       "Mind if I sit," she asked, causing him to become alert of her presence.

       "Lucy? What are you doing here. It's late," Wyatt said moving over to make room for her on the bench.

       "I could ask you the same thing Wyatt," Lucy smiled at him before moving her gaze to the falling snow.

       "I just needed a breather. It's overwhelming traveling back in time to stop Flynn," Wyatt sighed as he sat up before leaning on his knees.

        "Is it also because you are still searching for her killer," Lucy said quietly sneaking a glance at Wyatt. He didn't look up nor answer her.

        "So why are you out here Lucy," He asked turning his gaze away from the snow to her. His blue eyes sparked against the fairy lights on the tree near them which made her heart skip a beat.

        "Family issues," she said after a second, "I just don't know if I can handle that fact I lost a sister and gained a fiancé." She tried to laugh it off and Wyatt gave a small smirk.

        "Have you tried to get to know him," Wyatt asked after a few moments of silence.

       "Sort of. I've tried to get to know him by looking at photos of him," Lucy said awkwardly. Wyatt gave a small chuckle before they both fell into awkward silence.

        "Well, I should get going," Lucy declared and stood up. Wyatt nodded and stood up as well.

       "I should get going as well," he smiled and stared at her. Lucy smiled and began to turn away but she stepped on a patch of ice. Lucy started to fall backwards, but was caught by Wyatt.

     "Careful Luce," Wyatt chuckled lifting her back up. She started to laugh at her own clumsiness once she was upright.

     "Alright, bye Wyatt," she breathed out after she was done laughing. He smiled and said bye before walking away from the bench. Lucy watched as he walked away, her cheeks becoming warm. Just as she was about to turn away she noticed Wyatt slip on ice and fall backward. Lucy couldn't help but laugh a little before walking out of the park.
