New Years Series

"Oh my god are you annoying."

"Oh my god are you annoying." Daniel mumbles with a hand over his face.

"Am I? It's not like you've told me 20 times in the past hour." Thompson teases. 

Daniel looks up and glares at the man in the hospital bed. To think he will being discharged today and has to stay in the same house as he does. Damn protection protocol. Although Jack has recovered remarkably, he wasn't out of the woods just yet. He needed protection while making his final recovery during physical therapy.

"You both are acting like children and it is giving me a rather large headache. So if you don't mind..." Peggy raises a brow and the two men quiet down. 

Seeing as Peggy resides at both Stark's guest room and Daniel's house, she can have the luxury of not seeing Jack and hearing his annoying complains at jokes everyday, unlike Daniel. Someone has to be by Thompson's side at all times to prevent another shooting. Although he may have not been the actual target, there was still precautions to take. Therefore he would be living with Daniel for now, much to the couple's displeasure. Now nights to themselves were postponed for the time being. 

Eventually its time to leave and so the three walk out to the car and drive to Daniel's residence. Jack chuckles at the amount of domestication once inside.

"I am fully convinced you never graduated kindergarten." Daniel mumbles while Jack gets excited over a simple, shining, sculpture of of a soldier saluting.

"I'm rather sure he's never finished anything in the state he's in now." Daniel laughs at this and Jack turns around. 

"You know what, Marge? You have no room to talk the way you look right now." 

She looks down at her clothing and back up at him, then rolls her eyes. She was in quite a state. Her clothing was a mess, a hole on her sleeve, blouse untucked on one area, pants wrinkled, and her hair was now unpinned and all over the place. Before she could retort, however,  Thompson walks  off to shower while Daniel starts making dinner. She grumbles under her breath and follows him. 

"Don't listen to him, Peg. You're as gorgeous as ever." Daniel turns around and places a kiss on her cheek, making a blush creep up her neck. 

"Thanks Daniel."
