It had been two weeks since she had last talked to Ward and she had ignored Coulson everytime he tried to explain to her what Ward wanted her to know. She had been angry, so angry at Ward but at the same time she'd missed him so much. She hadn't slept in her own room since he'd left as she'd never really left his, it was comforting for her in some way.
Her anger had been a problem though as she had taken her anger out on others, including FitzSimmons which ended up with an immediate apology as she felt bad the minute she snapped. The worst fight she'd gotten into was with May earlier that day. You should never snap at Agent Melinda May. She regretted that. She'd humiliated herself in her mind.
"You need to stop moping around and talk to Coulson, he's trying to help." May told her, her voice firm. "We're all sick of seeing you this way and I know I'm being blunt but I think this might be the only way to actually get through to you seeing as you've pretty much offended everyone else on this Bus which is weird considering you're not even a core member on here. We're keeping you here because we consider you one of us so you better start treating us the same way." May had gotten a brief explanation to what was happening from Coulson, nothing much but she knew parts of it.
"Thanks for your comforting words but I don't need it." Skye told her and turned around from where she was heading before she was interrupted. "I don't think you realise that he was the closest to family I've ever had and I haven't done so much as heard from him in two weeks. I'm worried for him. So I think it's best you just keep out of it for now." Skye told her and stepped closer to her, trying to seem bigger than she was.
"He's on a mission and you need to start taking care of yourself. You've not been socialising properly or even eating with you. You don't seem to understand that some of the members of this team are concerned for you." May told her and stood a little taller, she knew what was coming. She caught Skye's fist before it even came too close to her face. Skye had tried to punch her. "I suggest you go back to yours or Ward's room and take a breather before you do something like that to one of the members that aren't as great at blocking your punches." May warned before she dropped her hand and walked off.
Skye had done what had been recommended and had retreated back to her partner's room and sat on the corner of his bed for the best part of two hours before she was brought back from her daydreams by a knock on the door, followed by Fitz sliding it open, a soft smile on his face. "You might wanna come with me. Coulson found something by the Bus we need you to look at." He smiled and nodded his head in the direction of the hallway.
She frowned slightly and got up, wiping her eyes gently, she hadn't even realised that she had been crying till then. "What is it?" She asked as she followed him out, he didn't reply but still made sure she was close as they descended down the spiral staircase by the lab.
Ward was stood there, cuts on his right cheek and along his hairline, his left eye slightly blackened. He was holding his left side too. She could see he was in pain and was trying to hide it but she could see right through him this time. Coulson was stood to the left of him as he watched Skye carefully. He really didn't need her attacking him in rage when he was like this, not that he'd try stop her once he was fully healed.
She came down the rest of the steps and walked closer till she was stood in front of her, biting her lip in order to stop herself from crying again. He looked terrible. "Ward.." She whispered and looked up at him, her hand coming to rest on the uninjured cheek. "He found out you were really Shield didn't he." She asked quietly and she caught his nod. her face fell slightly and she pulled him into a loose hug so she wouldn't hurt him. "I'm so sorry for hating you." She mumbled against his jacket as her hand held it in a fist.
"You hated me?" He whispered back and held her with one arm.
"You left me. Of course I did." She replied
"I'll make it up to you, you know when I'm not bleeding." He mumbled as she pulled away.
She turned her head to Coulson. "I'm sorry for ignoring you, I was just annoyed at this one." She admitted and pointed towards Coulson. She spotted May on the balcony. "I'm sorry for trying to punch you." She told the older Agent and she just turned away now that she had seen this scene take place.
"You tried to punch her?" Ward asked with a frown, which drew her attention back to him. "I'm guessing because you were angry at me?" He asked and she nodded.
"I'm sorry. Turns out this is why we shouldn't do solo missions without seeing each other." She said with an awkward laugh.
He pulled her closer again and kissed the top of her head. "I won't leave you again. I promise, but right now I want you to patch me up." He whispered to her so Simmons wouldn't hear him. He just wanted to be close to her again.
A/N So it's been a while and it's gone 2Am but I wanted to get this up. More detail in the next update :)
