First Covert Affairs fic. Its only 4 eps in and I want these two to be together just as bad as Shules. lol Sorry its so short and repetitive. but this is how it came to me.

He's doing it again. It's only a smile and its only been a few hours since they met. Joan is making her so damn nervous. But there he is, smiling at her.
And she loves it

He's doing it again. Unintentionally making her arm tingle where he's holding onto it as they walk. The slight pressure as he squeezes it when they round a corner too fast brings a small blush to her cheeks.
And she loves it

He's doing it again. She's stuck in a country alone with no one to trust. And he's telling her he's on her team. That he'll get her home safe. She feels safe now.
And she loves it.

He's doing it again. Sounding like he really cares about her. Faking having stumbled into the wrong bathroom. Talking her down from this panic attack.
And she loves it.

And dammit he's doing it again. Looking right at her. Staring straight into her eyes, with that goofy lop-sided grin on his face, headphones around his neck and his brown hair all messed up from her musing it earlier.

And for one second.
One silly, yet oddly comforting second.
She swears he can see her. That there is no more darkness for him.
And she loves it.
