The Blind and The Unseen

Loving

-Spy's POV-

I took Stella to the MediBay as soon as we got back to the base. Her arms were covered in cuts and dark red marks. "Laurent, I'm fine! It's just a few bruises." She pleaded, struggling against me. "I just need some ice and rest."

"Non! You will see ze doctor and he will make zat determination." I argued, picking her up. "No 'buts' except yours on a medical table." I pushed open the MediBay doors and set her in a table.

"Medic! I need you to look over Stella. She got into a fight wiz Diana."

Ludwig looked at her arms, pulling her sleeves up to fully assess the damage. "Vell, it doesn't appear zat zere is severe damage...just some heavy bruising and a few minor cuts, nozing too bad. I can heal her if you vould like me to." He offered, pulling a vial from a cabinet.

"Will it hurt?" Stella asked. I knew she had a fear of needles after that first time, so I didn't want to put her in any unnecessary pain.

"Nein, it'll be just like how I heal you in battle. Quick and painless." He pulled out his med gun pointing it at Stella.

"Very well. Just relax, mon amore." She shut her eyes and braced herself for the feeling.

After a few moments, it was over. "Zere. Now was zat so bad?" I chuckled, wrapping my arms around her. "Now why don't you go back to my room and get comfortable? I want to talk to ze Medic for a moment." I kissed her forehead before she left. "I'll be zere in a little bit." She nodded, standing and leaving the room.

I turned to Lidwig, looking around for anyone before speaking. "Were you able to find anyzing out about the zing?"

"If you're referring to ze device to fix her eyes, ja." Ludwig stayed as he cleaned up his workstation. "If you noticed, ze Medgun does not fix her eyes. If she vas born viz sight, ze gun vould restore it, meaning she vas born blind."

"Iz zere any vay to give her sight?"

"Vell zat depends on vhat is causing ze blindness in ze first place. I vould need to conduct some tests on her before I can make any determinations." He admitted, "but zey vill be quick and painless. I vill schedule time for zem during her monthly checkup in a few veeks."

"Zank you, doctor. You will be rewarded 'andsomely for your efforts." I nodded, making my way back to my room.

Stella was in the bathroom when I returned, she had just finished washing her face when I walked in. "Mon amore, I am back."

She turned toward me and smiled that beautiful smile of hers as I took off my jacket and loosened my tie. "I was starting to worry about you." I wrapped her in my arms and kissed her forhead, grateful for her presence.

"Je t'amie, mon amore." I whispered, swaying with her. "More zan you will ever know."

"I love you too, Laurent." She purred, softly kissing my cheek. "Can I ask you something?"

"Anyzing."

"Why don't you ever take your mask off?"

"I do, sometimes. Usually when I shower. Why? Do you want me to take it off?"

"Not if you don't want to. I'm just curious."

I placed her fingers at the base of my balaclava. "Why don't you do ze 'onors, mon amore?" She hesitated for a moment, a look of excitement splashing over her features. She slowly slid the mask off, her hands carefully exploring my face. Here eyes lit up with curiosity. Her fingers scratched at my stubbled chin and ran through my hair in anxious exploration. "What do you zink?"

"I think I hate being blind." She joked, playing with a tuft of hair on the back of my neck. Her gentle touch seemed to memorize every line and curve, committing it to memory. "I can only assume you're a very handsome man based on what the others have told me."

"And what 'ave ze ozers told you?"

"That you're a bit of a lady killer."

"Well I can't say I 'aven't had a few 'fans' 'ere and zere." She nudged me playfully. "I'm only joking! Well, mostly."

"Well, you're mine now. And I plan to keep it that way."

"Good. I plan on keeping you around for a while." I smirked, sweeping my arms under her legs and carrying her to bed. "'Ow about we sleep in my bed zis time?" I said, dropping her onto the fluffy pillows. Her laughter rang through the room as she rolled in the soft blankets.

"Oh my goodness! I'm being swallowed!" She played, reaching out to me, "oh no, the bed is going to eat me!"

I laughed, "Don't worry, mon cher! I'll save you." I laughed, falling on top of her. "Oh no, I've fallen into its trap!" She wriggled and squirmed under me, her playful laughs warming my heart.

"Laurent!" She squealed as I attacked her face with a flurry of kisses. "Goodness, what's got you so affectionate?"

"I...I almost lost you..." I said, resting my forhead on hers. "I 'ave to make up for lost time." She gripped my tie, pulling me into a deep kiss. Her fingers tangling in my hair, and one of my hands gripping her waist.

"It's going to take a lot more than that to get rid of me. You're stuck with me, sweetheart."

"I wouldn't 'ave it any ozer way." I pressed into another kiss, my hands starting to explore her body.

"Hey now, mister. Don't get too handsy. I don't know if you can handle me."

"Well I guess zere is only one way to find out." I smirked, pinning her under me and attacking her with kisses.

We made passionate love that night...multiple times. I'm glad I'd had my room sound proofed, as our calls of pleasure filled my large bedroom and would have easily been heard by everyone in the base. She was fierce and insatiable, I could barely keep up with her. The sight of her body was engrained in my memory. I never wanted to forget this moment.

-Le Time Skip-

We awoken in each other's arms the next morning, her head resting on my bare chest. Her violet eyes fluttered open with a yawn. "Good morning, mon amore." I pressed a soft kiss to her forehead. "'ow did you sleep?"

"Good, considering you kept me up most of the night." She giggled, her voice still thick with sleep.

"You did enjoy yourself zough, non?" I smirked.

Her face flushed, "I can hear you smirking, you cocky fucker." She teased. I leaned forward, pressing a kiss to her soft lips.

"Wanna do it once more before training?"

I could see the fire in her eyes. "Do we really need to go to training though? We've been training all night."

"God I love you." I mused, rolling over on top of her and exploring her body once more.
