Are You Sure About That? (A Ward Imagine) [1/2]

The house was silent as I pack my essentials in a single duffel bag. I took my anxiety medication from my bathroom cupboard and close the door to see Ward standing behind me. "I told you. We should go our separate ways. It will be harder for them to track us."

"I don't care about that. I want to be with you. Protect you." "I don't need your protection, Ward. I never did." "But that didn't prevent me from wanting to protect you anyway." He says, pushing a strand of hair behind my ear. "You gave me a second chance, Y/N." He adds. "Then don't waste it,"

I push passed him but he hold me back by my forearm. "I understand if you don't trust me anymore, but at least let me gain it back." "No," "Y/N, please." He pulls me closer to him as he hold my wrists. I look into his auburn eyes and sigh deeply. "Where to next?"

We just landed in Sydney, Australia a few hours ago, and we just walked into a loft. Unable to sleep, I find myself sitting on the kitchen counter and eat my cookie dough ice cream. His bedroom door creaks open and he steps out with a gun in his hand. His body relaxes when he sees that it's just me.

"Jesus, Y/N, I could have killed you. I thought you were sleeping." "I can't sleep and you wouldn't have." He chuckles to himself and sets the gun on the couch. "I couldn't sleep either," He says with a sigh. He leans on the counter next to me and I take another spoonful of ice cream.

"So uh.. why did you do it?" "Do what?" "Set me free," "For the same reason I told Coulson," "That you love me," "Yes, I do." "Why.. why do you still love me? Even after I betrayed you?" "That's a good question. The answer is probably the same for the question of why I decide to trust you afterwards."

"I should.. probably try to go to bed." He says as he

"I should... probably head to bed," He says as he slowly walks back to his room. "Ward,wait." I set down my tub of ice cream and ran over to him. I jump into his arms and wrap my legs around his waist. I bury my face into his neck and he holds me in his arms. We both sigh with satisfaction and I say, "I missed having you around so much, and it hurt a lot, when you—" "I know, it probably hurt me a lot more than it hurt you. I broke my only true friend's trust." "I don't hate you, Ward. But it's just.. it's going to take some time to trust you again." I say as I pull away from his neck.

The next thing I knew, his lips were connecting with mine and his hands were traveling up my back. I pull away abruptly and look into his auburn eyes. I slam my lips onto his and run my fingers through his soft, black hair. He walked me into his room and kicked the door shut. He sits on the edge of the bed with me in his lap.

Ward's POV
I watch Y/N as he face mellows with sleep. Her eyes darted from side to side under her eyelids and her fists started to ball up. Her breathing was increasing in heavy breathes and her legs started to clench. "No, please stop." she mumbles to herself. I place my hand over her fist and gently caress the back of her hand. I place a soft kiss on her forehead and she subconsciously nuzzles her face into my neck. She sighs deeply and loosens her fists. I link my hands with hers and smile as she hums softly.

I spent the entire night watching her sleep, watching her facial expressions as she dreams is the most amusing thing. I used to do this back on the bus on the nights when I couldn't sleep. But I don't know, it was just something about how calm she is that makes me calm. When she's awake, she's always on guard and the defense.

She stirs a little before slowly opening her eyes and meeting mine. She nudges my chin upwards so she can pull her entire body on my chest. After a moment, she asks, "How long were you watching me sleep?" "The entire night," she looks up at me and says, "Really?" "You know, you're not the first person to watch me sleep," She adds. "Seriously?" She nods and says, "May did it for the longest time, so did my old partner. And when I caught them doing it, they said that—" "You were so calm and mellow?" I finish. "Exactly," "Well they're not wrong,"

"Isn't everyone calm when they're sleeping?" "Not really, but I think it's because you know you're powers will protect you, so you can sleep calmly. Not everyone has that." "Well, now you have me. So that shouldn't be a problem anymore, right?" "Yes, baby," "Mm, I like the sound of that." "Oh yeah?" She pecks my lips gently and adds, "Let's take a shower," "You don't have to ask me twice," I say as I pick her up into my arms and run into the bathroom. She giggles loudly as I close the door.
