Timeless: One Shots

Alone Again?

Garcia Flynn sat alone in an old run down church outside of the city. It was snowing lightly outside and he was sitting in silence rereading Lucy Preston's journal. Flynn sighed closing the book after rereading the moon landing entry. He could not concentrate. He didn't know if it was because it was Christmas or because his mind kept drifting back to Lucy.

A faint knock echoed through the church. Flynn stood grabbing the loaded gun on his desk and going over to the door. He looked through the stain glass window and saw a small figure. He knew that small figure.

"Lucy," Flynn said opening the door. The wind picked up and Lucy shivered looking up at Flynn. He towered over her.

"H-Hi, c-can I come i-in," she asked hugging her coat closer to her body. He fumbled a little but managed to open the door for her to come in. She nodded and glided past him.

"What are you doing here," Flynn asked closing the door and locking it as the snow picked up outside. "It's Christmas, you should be home with your mother and your-your fiancé," Flynn muttered out fiancé like it was venom.

"I told them a friend needed me," Lucy said smiling, her brown eyes twinkled. Flynn smiled back, getting lost in her eyes.

"So we're friends now," Flynn asked not breaking their gaze, "Even though I kinda kidnapped you?"

Lucy giggled, "I learned a lot about you Garcia then, and I just figured you would like company on this festive holiday."

"I appreciate the thought Lucy," Flynn said as the wind outside began to howl.

"So, do you, uh, want to," Lucy stuttered over her words, suddenly very nervous under Flynn's gaze. He grinned and grabbed her hands, putting them on his chest. Flynn put his hands on her waist. He began to sway and once she caught onto he fact they were dancing she joined in.

"I got it," she said suddenly, breaking away from him. She was looking for her phone in her coat pocket. Once it was found she pressed a few buttons and "The Christmas Song," by Brett Eldridge began to play. She smiled at Flynn, setting her phone down on one of the pews.

Once she was back in his grasp they swayed to the music, slowly. She leaned her head on his chest. Lucy smiled as they danced and Flynn couldn't help but smile as well. He hadn't felt like this on Christmas since their death. Flynn started to change the sway to turned around in a circle, carefully.

Lucy laughed a little when Flynn grabbed her left hand and spun her in a circle before bringing her back to himself. Flynn guided their dance once again, swaying them from side to side as the music faded out.

Lucy didn't pull away when the song ended but stayed against him, taking in his warmth. He didn't question her actions but embraced them. Flynn had his arms wrapped around Lucy and they stayed like that for what felt like hours.

"So really why did you come to see me," Flynn said suddenly breaking the silence. Lucy but her lip and looked up at him.

"Well, when you had me, uh, captive and you told me about your family I figured you would need someone. You've been alone for so long Garcia and I figured you would like company for the first time in a while," she gave him a small smile. His eyes darted back and forth between hers before he leaned down. Lucy's heart started to beat faster and she leaned up. Their lips were centimeters from each other's when Lucy's phone began to ring.

Flynn cursed under his breath and she sighed walking over to her phone. She answered it and looked distraught after hanging up.

"That was my mom," Lucy begun, "She wants me back at the house."

Flynn nodded and walked her to the door. He smiled at her before opening the right door of the church. The wind was cold against both of the them and Lucy shivered. Flynn wrapped an arm around her to give her a little warmth. While they were both gazing at each other, they didn't realize the snow had piled up high.

"Oh, it doesn't look like I'll be getting out of here," Lucy breathed a smile on her face still. Flynn couldn't help but grin as well.

"Guess you'll just have to stay here, with me," Flynn said closing the door. Lucy took off her coat.

"Yep, it'll just be you and me. You won't have to spend this Christmas alone," Lucy said smiling at Flynn.
