BitterSweet

Moira O'Deorain

Reyes POV 

You laid in bed thinking about y/n, she has avoided you for two weeks. You pulled the Commander card on her and now probably cost you the only friend you have had. You kept thinking about that night, how you saw her bleeding on the ground, it filled you with anger and rage. 

"AGU" you sighed and crawled out of your room and into the hallway. 

Every time you saw y/n she didn't even look at you. Now you see her walking down the hallway towards you, she didn't even look up to you. As she passed, you wanted to turn around and say sorry, but your pride prevented you. Your fist clenched as she got further away until. 

"Gabriel" you heard her sweet voice call your name, you turn to face her. 

"Can we go for a ride in your car, i-if you aren't busy that is" She looked hesitant, she probably didn't know if you were still friends.

Without a word you grabbed her hand and began pulling her.

Y/N POV

He held your hand tightly as he pulled you into the elevator, you where very confused if he was mad or not, you couldn't read his face because it was turned away.

"Where do you want to go?"  Reyes growled

"W-what?" You asked confused 

"You wanted to go for a ride didn't you" His voice stern and his eyes narrowed

"Oh, right, yeah....um can we just ride around" 

The elevator stopped and the doors opened to the garage, Reyes pulled you along to his Mustang without saying a word. 

When we sat in the car there was a long silent pause, you were still trying to read his face, he seemed on edge. 

"I'm glad you were okay, after the mission" He said as his body seemed to relax. 

Without saying anything you put your hand on his thigh and gave a friendly squeeze.

"I shouldn't have been so reckless, I could have gotten us killed" you admitted. 

He looked to you now,  he seemed completly relaxed and at peace, he gave you a little smile and began to start his car, the engine purred. 

He tore out of the garage and down the street, the way he was driving was nowhere near legal standards but neither of you really cared. The streets had light layers of snow on them, it added a level of excitement. He drifted around corners recklessly, the danger made you feel more alive then you have ever felt and almost seemed to be a turn on. You looked over to Reyes who had the biggest smile, his eyes focused as he barely controlled the car. The danger seemed to bring you both joy, during that car ride you felt closer to him then you have ever felt before. You were unaware that your hand was still on his thigh, every time he sped up, or drifted around corners you gripped harder.

He drove you up to this one cliff side where you could look down below at Zürich, it was the most beautiful thing you have ever seen, it began to snow even. You turned to look at Reyes, he seemed to be looking at you instead of the view, you both said nothing, just stared into each other's eyes, you felt his hand grab the one you had on his thigh, you both still said nothing. You sat there in silence for hours, nothing could bother you two on that cliff side, no worries of missions, or paperwork.  You began to feel cold, Reyes didn't give you any time to grab a jacket on your way to his car. 

Reyes saw you shivering, 

"Here," He took off his Blackwatch hoodie and handed it to you, you have never seen him without his hoodie before, the shirt he had on  was tight and black, it formed to his muscles, when you noticed you where staring, you looked away hoping it was too dark to see your red cheeks. You pulled the hoodie over you, it smelt like cologne, gunpowder, and sweat, you loved his smell, it brought you a strange high, you wanted to be engulfed in his scent.
