A/N written pre-keyboard meltdown, posted after Chuck vs. the Fake Name annoyed me. Channah if I keep writing it.
As he looked through the Castle film what he saw didn't surprise him. No matter what she said her action always spoke louder than words and watching her actions with Shaw screamed at him.
His heart slowly ripped with one thought crossing his mind All she does is rip your heart out, then sew it back up an then rip it out again. He was done being her pawn, her play thing, her mark. Coming to Castle to do his dailies had shed some light on the Siren that is Sarah Walker.
"Pull you in with that sweet song and then you crash upon the rocks." Well he was done crashing and he was going to take the song away. He keyed up the display and waited for General Beckman to appear.
"Mr. Bartowski we don't have a briefing today and where are Agent Walker and Major Casey?" he took a deep breath and began. "Ma'am I feel that Agent Walker's abilities would be better served else where than in babysitting me. She needs to be out in the field where she can do some good. A younger and less experienced Agent would be able to protect me and in doing so she would not be disabling the intelligence community with her absence. So I respectfully request the Agent Walker be reassigned immediately." Looking at Beckman he could almost make out a smirk
"Very well Mr. Bartowski you are quite right, now can I expect your full cooperation with the next agent to be assigned on your protection detail?" Well Chuck you already bet big why not go all in
"Of course ma'am, with the condition that she would not be a cover girlfriend and I would be able to purse a relationship outside of the intelligence community. Maybe the agent could be an employee at my new software company?" Beckman looked pensive before answering
"I see no harm coming from that Mr. Bartowski as long as she has been deemed a non-threat to the intersect. Pertaining to your software company I think its time to leave the Buymore and grow up a little" Win/Win Chuck, Sarah gets to go do what she is meant to do with out breaking your heart and you get a better job and a the chance at a real relationship.
"Of course General, so when should I expect the new agent to arrive?" Or when should I expect Sa..Agent Walker to leave. "I'll have Agent Walker on a plane to Washington within six hours and a new agent should be there to take her place within two days." Alright I lets cover are bases incase Agent Walker decides to say goodbye.
"General I would prefer it if Agent Walker also received orders to leave without contacting me, I think a clean break with be best for the team." He couldn't trust himself not to sail towards that Siren song one last time.
"Of course Mr. Bartowski, Beckman out" he stared at the screen hoping he did the right thing until he caught a glimpse of the paused security tape and he steeled himself. Putting the dailies in a safe and grabbing his phone he walked up the stairs to go start his shift.
Opening the freezer door he ran into Sarah Walker in her OO outfit preparing for the day and his face fell just a bit before the voice in his head spoke up Siren song Chuck you can't crash into those rocks anymore.
"Hey Chuck finish your dailies?" She was smiling at him with his favorite smile; the one that he thought meant something. "Nope, Agent Walker, I'm going to finish them later" her smile faded "Chuck is something wrong?" he laughed to himself.
"No Agent Walker everything is perfect now" he said as he pushed the door open with the sound of her phone going off behind him It's for the better Chuck you always knew she was going to leave at least now you know it was all about controlling the asset and cover.
He thought jogging back to the Buy More just incase she didn't follow orders. When he saw her sitting at the Nerd Herd desk twirling her almond colored hair, God she is beautiful he thought as he walked behind the counter and she turned to face him.
"Chu.." that was she got out before he put every ounce of passion he had into the kiss. It was a short kiss but it didn't matter the signal was loud and clear as she looked up at him with those beautiful eyes.
"Chuck" she whispered "What was that for?" he hadn't really thought about what to say when he made up his plan walking into the store. "So many things in my life have been fake Hannah and what I feel with you, it's just real and I don't want to do the whole sneaking around thing trying to hide this relationship." He took a quick breath
"What are you saying Chuck?" she asked expectantly. "Hannah will you be my girlfriend?" Her smile was bright and beautiful and Chuck was taken aback by how his feelings for her had grown in such a short time.
"Yes" he hugged her picking her up out of her chair as she laughed that gorgeous bubbly laugh. He put her down as she gave him a quick kiss, "Ok so I have to go on a service call but I'll be back early enough for lunch if you feel like it?" He smiled
"Of course I do" and with that she walked out only to be stopped by a blonde haired secret agent. Agent Walker spoke to Hannah quietly and quickly looked up at Chuck with emotion he didn't trust evident on her face and walked out.
Chuck decided right then that his choice was for his own good even though it hurt a little and that he felt like he did it out of spite and pettiness it was long over due. His heart wasn't meant to be Sarah Walker's yo-yo. Watching her leave brought a surprising feeling of satisfaction and one thought Sarah Walker, go handle another asset.
