I felt his hot breath on my face causing mine to flush. The whole room fell silent as the two of us looked at each other in shock. Not realizing that he was straddling my hips with his, I had just looked in his eyes curiously. He looked back and in a split second he stood up and offered me a hand. Like what the hell? I was even at the point that I was expecting him to kiss me. Then he leaves me all hot and bothered on the floor. The bastard! Letting him help me, I then glared at him and nearly stormed out of the room and to my bunk. Why didn't he kiss me? Did he still think that there was something between Steve and I. When there never was Steve and I? My thoughts were interrupted by my curiosity on what everybody was yelling about.

"What the hell Robot!" Skye nearly screamed.

"Seriously Ward. For being one of SHIELD's best, you are too oblivious." May interjected a silence followed.

"Okay I'm thinking about this. What am I oblivious to?" He asked. The nerve that this man had! To have to say that he's the one that I have a crush on and have had him as my supervising officer is just crazy.

"Rachel likes you too!" They all yelled. Wait he actually liked me too? Now I just felt cocky so without thinking. I left my bunk and joined the others to grab Grant and drag him back to my bunk. Without any words I tossed him in and locked the door behind me. Once that was done I threw myself at him and kissed him hungrily. He was kissing back with equal passion and fervor. 

"You should've told me sooner Grant." I said as we separated for air. He just smiled back at me and looked at me lovingly.

"I love you Rachel...I just didn't know how to tell you. I...I've never loved anyone before, and I didn't want to mess up with you. You mean everything to me, and I want everything to be perfect for you." He said and I began to tear up. He looked worried and quickly wiped my tears away with the pad of his thumb. Placing my hand over his I smiled back at him.

"I love you too Grant. These are happy tears. No need to worry. Just so you know, you're my everything as well." I said as he initiated the kiss this time as we were in our own little world. Nothing mattered except the two of us. We got a little hands on the longer we were kissing, and it lead to us shedding the other's clothes. Eventually leaving us bare in front of the other, both physically and emotionally. This was uncharted territory for us and I could tell that he was extremely nervous, knowing that he's pored his heart and soul out to someone for the first time. I placed my hands on his chest and began to run my hands all over his body. That night was spent showing each other that we loved the other and had no doubts about it.
