The last thing I remembered from that night was talking to Mick about how excited I was that Leonard was okay, I must've dozed off because I was having my first dreamless night in months when I heard "Sara." I wasn't awake yet when "Sara." I kept hearing my name, "Canary!" I jolted upright "What, yeah, I'm up?" I rubbed my eyes as my vision sharpened to Leonard looking over at me, bruised and scratched up, he just laughed at me for a minute, "Mick helped me get cleaned up, after you fell asleep." I smiled at him as I apologized for falling asleep.

We sat there in silence for a bit until he looked at my left hand which I had rested on my knee, "Engaged now?" he looked up at me with his black eye, "What?" it didn't register with me at first, "The ring on your finger." he looked down at my hand again, "Oh, sorry," I started as I took it off, "No, it's yours," I reached out to hand it to him, "Do you want it back?" he reached over and grabbed it from my hand, "Don't get me wrong it looks better on you, but I'm sentimental according to what you think." I laughed at his little joke. "Well someone's feeling chatty after coming back from the dead." he laughed at my joke too.

We sat in silence for a while until I got the nerve up to ask about the kiss we shared, he just smiled, I looked down and didn't say anything for a minute, I felt like an idiot when he didn't reply and I was about to get up and leave when he spoke finally "I loved it." I felt my cheeks flush and I looked up to see his smile grew and that he was looking straight at me, "I missed you." I admitted, "I know, Mick told me what Gideon spilled, you asking about me every night for a few weeks." his smile turned into a smirk as my face grew even warmer than it was after his reply about the kiss.

He reached his hand over and grabbed mine, "You know you're even more beautiful when you're embarrassed." I just enjoyed his skin touching mine, no matter how rough his hands were, they felt amazing, I didn't pull my hand back, I didn't accept or deny his touch, I just enjoyed it, he was holding my hand, "I didn't figure you'd be one to hold anyone's hand Leonard." I smiled at him as he adjusted himself further up in the examination chair, "I'm usually not, but then again, I'm not the same cold hearted bastard you once met." I laced my fingers between his as he pulled my hand up to his lips and kissed my hand.

Leonard asked me to help him to his room after a while of just sitting in silence holding hands, we were walking to his quarters as Ray passed us, "Need some help Sara?" "No thanks Ray I'm just making sure Leonard can get into bed." he shook his head and walked pass us, "It's like I have my own hot nurse." I gave him a dirty look as he said that "So you think I'm hot and beautiful now?" he just smiled in return.

I helped him into bed, careful not to hurt his broken ribs, "Those Timemasters really did a number on you didn't they?" He just nodded, as he laid down, "They wanted to know where you all would go afterward, I wouldn't tell them, so they tried to get it out of me." I laid my hand on his shoulder, then turned to walk out of the room, I was about to tell him goodnight as he called my name, "Stay with me for a bit, please" I smiled and turned around as he scooted over in the bed, "Just for a while." He looked into my eyes and smirked, I couldn't resist the offer so I did just want he wanted, I stayed.

He unexpectedly grabbed my hand for a second time, since we all rescued him, we sat in silence as I got more and more tired with each time he ran his thumb across the side of my hand, I was on the edge of unconsciousness when I heard him say something I never thought I'd hear someone like him say, "I love you Sara." I woke up the next morning not knowing if it was real or a dream, he was beside me, we were in his quarters, I looked down to see that my hand was still entwined in his, "Good morning Captain." Leonard was staring at me, "I'm sorry I didn't know I fell asleep here." my face turned red and I pulled back the blankets to leave, but he grabbed my wrist before I could, "I enjoyed the company." I sat back down and he let go of my wrist, "Were you watching me sleep?" "Only for about an hour." He smiled at my accusation.

We were still just sitting on his bed in silence, "Do you feel any better?" He only nodded, more silence came, "Did you tell me something last night?" Leonard finally spoke, "Yes I did, why?" He scooted away from me in his bed, "Because I do too." Now his face was the one that got red, "Get some more rest while I get the team ready for our next mission." With that I left the room.

As everyone got ready I assigned who would do what and I decided Mick would make sure Leonard was taken care of while I kept an ear on the team, Mick protested for a second but finally agreed when I said he could burn something our next mission if he stayed on board and took care of Snart, the mission was going smoothly so I just sat on the bridge waiting til something happened I could help with, "Sara?" Leonard walked into the room, "Yeah, what do you need Leonard?" He shook his head, "Nothing I was just bored of laying in bed all alone." I silently giggled at the thought of laying in bed with him again in blissful silence.

He came over to the seat I was sitting in and knelled down beside me, "Thanks again for everything." I nodded at him and started to smile because I felt his warmth on my arm, "Where's Mick anyway?" Leonard looked discouraged when I mentioned Mick, "Probably stuffing his face." I had never seen him get mad even in the slightest when someone mentioned Mick, "What's wrong?" I reached for his hand, he quickly stood up, "why mention him when I'm here thanking you?" he hissed the words, I stood up as he was about to make an exit "I'm sorry Leonard I just thought since he's your friend you'd be with him getting reacquainted while you got better." he kept walking away while I trailed behind him, "Leonard!" he turned around when I called his name, "I don't love him, I love you!" I stopped walking just as he did, we just stood there staring at each other until eventually he turned and headed to his quarters.

I was headed back toward the bridge when Mick stopped me, "Go talk to him, I'll keep an eye out on the rest of the team, if anything happens then I'll come get you." "Mick he doesn't want to talk to me, not now." I tried to push pass him but he put his hand on my shoulder, "Yes he does, why else would he get mad when you tried to brush him off?" I nodded "You might be right, thanks Mick." he shook his head and headed toward the bridge while I headed toward Leonard's quarters.

I stopped at his door and just stood for a minute, "Leonard, can I come in?" at first there wasn't an answer so I was tempted to just walk away but I knew better, "Leonard?" I heard him moving inside the room so I knew he was there, "You know I can hear you, right?" Leonard opened the door and walked over to his bed just as I was walking in, "What do you want Sara?" "To apologize, I just figured you and Mick should talk since you hadn't seen each other in so long." he looked over at me, "We talked while you were asleep, we're fine, but it's me and you I want to know about." I walked closer to his bed and just stood there for a while speechless.

Finally I walked over to his bed where he laid down, sat down and talked "What do you want to know about me and you?" he propped himself up with his elbows, "Are we an us?" I didn't know what to say so he rephrased the question, "Can we be an us?" I just shook my head, "I don't know Leonard." he leaned up, grabbed my hand and my heartbeat almost automatically calmed.

We were still sitting on his bed, his hand on mine, my heartbeat was steady and for once in my life since dying and being resurrected, I was calm, "Sara, It's okay if you say no." Leonard laced his fingers through mine, "Just be honest and tell me." he adjusted so he was sitting closer to me, "Give me time to think about it then I'll give you an answer." when I said that he loosened his grip, let go of my hand, I stood up, walked toward the door to leave, "I do love you Leonard." with those words I left him to do as he pleased.

Back on the bridge Mick was just drinking a beer when I walked into the room, "Do you have an extra?" he pulled one out of his pocket and handed it to me, "Didn't go so well?" he asked as he took another drink, I popped the lid off of my bottle, "I don't want to talk about it," I started, "Good, me neither." he replied, "Actually, you know him pretty well, right?" I asked and he nodded his head yes, I explained how he asked about me and him to Mick, he looked more shocked than I did, "And Leonard Snart, the one that we just rescued, said all that?" I nodded my answer and he just said "Wow, he wasn't lying when he said he had it bad for you." I choked on the beer I was trying to swallow, "Why are you just now telling me this?" Mick just shrugged his shoulders.

A while later after the team came back on board and we left for the temporal zone I decided to go talk to Leonard again, this time when I reached his room the door was open, "Leonard?" I leaned my head into his room and tapped on the wall, "Sara the door's open for a reason." he said without looking up from the book he was reading, "Yes." he looked up from his book and swung his legs over the side of his bed almost immediately, "Yes what?" He smiled as I said "We can be an us." I had never seen someone light up the way he did when I answered him, he hopped up, ran over and wrapped me in an embrace like no other, "I'm glad you answered so quickly, I was dying to know." I hugged him back, still careful not to hurt his ribs as I put my head to his chest and listened to his heartbeat for a bit until he released me from his hug.
