All of Me - Agent's of S.H.I.E.L.D

Chapter Fourteen

Command Centre

Skye and Grant were in the command centre, both leaning against the electronic table inches apart with their arms folded as they waited for the two senior agents to join them so they could start their surveillance.

Grant’s mind had been on overdrive since his Rookie had revealed her secret to him. He was still trying to wrap his mind around the fact that she had this ability  or gift to be able do what she does. If she had been able to sense emotions all this time, did she know how he felt for her? How come she hadn’t acted on his feelings? What if she didn’t feel the same way? No, he knew that she did feel the same way - each time that he had kissed Skye, she had kissed him back with enthusiasm and passion. That much he was certain off. What if she just didn’t want to be with him for another reason? What if she figured he was too damaged? What if she sensed his other side. How come they had never discussed that kiss they shared last night? Sure, a lot had happened today with dropping off Quinn, picking up Agent Barton and Skye’s big reveal - now this mission. Maybe the talk could wait another day.    

“What?” Skye voiced as she turned her head to the side, fixing her eyes onto her S.O’s chiselled face.

Grant was pulled from his thoughts at the sound of her voice. “Uh? I didn’t say anything,” he answered, confused as he turned his head to the side - eyes fixed on her.

Skye raised an eyebrow. “You’re not ‘saying anything’ really loudly,” she told him with a concerned look.

Grant’s eyes winded as he turned his head to the side, his eyes fixed on her. “Are you reading my thoughts now?” he asked, doing his best to control the nerves in his voice and sound as calm as possible.

Skye looked at him with a smile and shook her head. “No,” she answered in a soft tone. “I can’t hear people’s thoughts, even though that would be pretty cool. I can sense that something is stressing you out though,” she supplied. “Your heart rate has picked up and you’ve got this serious deep in thought look on your face. You’re worried about something or someone,” she observed. “Is it May?”

Grant was taken aback by her question. What?  “May can take care of herself, plus her backup is one of S.H.I.E.L.D’s best assassin’s,” he supplied in emotionless tone. “Why would I worry about her?”

Skye rolled her eyes. Did he really think that she was that dumb? “I know you two are close,” she revealed, averting her eyes. She had never read any romantic feelings coming from either of them in the past but had heard that comment about 'church from state' a couple of weeks back and she wasn’t an idiot. Skye knew that she had no hold over her S.O. He was a grown adult and could sleep with whoever he wanted, even though a part of her heart broke. since she had feelings for him.

Grant’s heart picked up a few more beats. The way his Rookie had said ‘close’ it was like she implying more. Did she know? How long had she known? “What?” he asked, swallowing the lump in his throat. Is that why she hadn’t made a move, because she thought that he was with May?

Skye wasn’t going to beat around the bush. They are adults. She turned her eyes back onto her S.O who was looking at her perplexed. “I know that you and May are having sex,” she supplied in a no-nonsense tone.

Grant felt his heart stop for a second. 'You and May are having sex.' He hadn’t want anyone knowing because it meant nothing. He didn’t want anyone especially Skye thinking it meant more than just sex or a stress reliever. “We stopped,” slipped from his lips. Grant knew there was no point in denying it.

Surprise washed over the young hacktivist, Skye hadn’t know that fact. “Okay,” she answered, not knowing what else to say. She was revealed though and was curious to when they had stopped.
