elizabeth/henry + 19!

19. Kisses because I don’t want you to go and maybe I can convince you to stay just a few minutes longer

Thanks for sending a prompt! I was super excited to receive something for Elizabeth and Henry. (I’m sure this isn’t what you had in mind though…)

Warning: Angst ahead.

They’ve argued over this particular topic countless times – have disagreed since Henry first brought it up and, even on that end, they can’t agree. He insists she’s the one who started the conversation that first time. (She’s since forgotten how it started.)

The disagreement is far from a first for their relationship. Though scary and hurtful at times, challenging each other is one of the many ways they’ve kept the flame alive all these years. They knew the last time the subject was brought up that it wouldn’t be the last they heard of it – though this time, it very well may be – and even now, as she lays barely moving in this uncomfortable bed, wearing a teal gown that does very little to help her complexion, Henry insists on contradicting her.

Elizabeth wishes he’d stop fighting it. She had. She’d come to accept that every day could be her last – their last – even though she was stubborn enough to last a month longer than the doctors predicted.

“Don’t give me that look,” comes the gruff voice on her left, as Henry pushes himself up from the chair he’d occupied all morning, groaning when his joints crack in protest. She hopes he didn’t spend all night sleeping in that awful position; they’re not 50 anymore. He can’t just sleep anywhere he wants. (She knows he did.)

She plays along, offering a weak, “What look?”

He stands by her side, palms coming to rest on arm. His hands are warm, just like she remembers. “That ‘I think today’s the day’ look.” His gaze finds hers, eyes filled with equal measures of reassurance and worry. “I told you – you’re not leaving this world before me.”

Elizabeth chuckles at his insistence – every day, the same obstinate refusal to see her go first – but even the short laugh is enough to send a new wave of pain down her chest. She coughs, violently, and it hurts everywhere. Her eyes shut; her teeth clench. His right hand cups her nape, supporting her head, while the thumb of his left brushes comforting circles on the skin of her arm.

It’s a few scary minutes in which she knows he’s holding his breath before the coughing subsides, but it does. He wipes the sweat off her brows, his touch gentle and caring. When she feels strong enough, she whispers, “I think you’ll lose this one,” and for the first time, he doesn’t rebut her.

That alone tells Elizabeth more than she needs to know about her current state.

Henry kisses her forehead, then her nose, her cheek. “I’ll make sure you stay with us until the kids arrive,” he says, and she nods, before he pecks her lips one last time.

There’s no need to argue over that.

(Feel free to send more kissing prompts.)

phil/melinda + waking up with amnesia au

The thing about the amnesia ward is that it’s full of ghosts, drifting down hallways and staring out the window, waiting, waiting, waiting for memories that never come. 

Daisy has been nursing here for years and she’s seen it all: those who come and go, the memories flooding back and their lives starting again; those who come and stay, minds too warped to remember and too broken to learn again; those who forget and then slowly remember, not quite the same as before.

But Phil Coulson and Melinda May are the first of their kind. 

They come in as strangers: a heart attack for him and a car wreck for her. He’s legally dead for enough time that it’s a miracle he’s alive and breathing again--but the lack of oxygen has caused brain damage and memories slip through his fingers like sand. She wrapped her car around a tree after a fight with an ex-husband she can’t even remember. 

They have visitors: coworkers for him and that ex-husband for her. They plead with them to remember but they’re met with blank stares and apologetic shrugs. Some things are too broken to fix. 

But Phil and Melinda find each other. 

Daisy watches them drift down the halls together; watches them learn what foods they like and don’t like (he has a sweet tooth and she can’t stand coffee); watches them flick through channels in the lobby before realizing neither one of them are much for television. 

There’s a commotion one night--he whimpers in his sleep, thrashing in the bed, scared and alone and crying out for a father Daisy isn’t sure will ever come--and then Melinda is there: climbing into bed with him and soothing him, telling him he’s okay, he’s okay. 

There are ghosts in these halls and Daisy has watched them all fade. Phil and Melinda fall in love amongst the ghosts. She’s there the day they’re both discharged. 

She’s there the day they take each other’s hands and lean their foreheads against the other and promise to leave a life they can’t remember behind, to start anew--to make new memories. 

And just like that, two ghosts float out of the halls, embarking on a new adventure.

phil/melinda + drunk kiss

It’s his last night on Earth. Literally. 

In a few short hours, he’d be rocketed off into space and stuck on some satellite amongst the stars. Away from SHIELD. Away from his family and his team. Away from her.

He sits in the sterile agency kitchen, drinking himself into oblivion. The team had long since bid him goodnight with sad, anxious looks and lingering hugs. Melinda had asked him if he wanted her to stay. He stopped himself from saying God, yes but the silence stretched too long and she was already backing away from, slipping through his fingers. 

He took another swig of his beer, the bitter taste matching his mood. For the past three years it felt like he couldn’t catch a break; always hitting the ground running. And just when he thought he had a second to catch his breath, the shotgun blast of the race was sounding all over again.

“You really shouldn’t drink alone, you know.”

Phil’s head snapped up at the sound of her voice. She’s standing in the doorway, as radiant as ever: dark, glittering eyes and long hair falling in soft waves over her shoulders. He grins lazily, hoping she can’t see his heart pounding through his chest. 

“I’m not alone now.” He slides a beer over to the space next to him and she rolls her eyes and crosses the room and settles beside him, popping the cap off the bottle and taking a swig. She turns those searching eyes on him and lifts an eyebrow, “It’s no Haig, but it’ll do.”

She’s teasing. He knows she is. But the words sting and he can’t help but think back to the soft, pliant lips of the LMD May, thinks to the way she had opened beneath him so readily, and clutched at his hips. His hands tingle with the ghosting memory of her hair falling across his fingers. 

“You didn’t try to kill me. The fake you, I mean.” He pauses, the alcohol loosening his tongue and he knows, knows this is a bad idea and it isn’t the right time. But it’s his last night on Earth and Melinda May sits in front of him.

She blinks slowly, “Okay. So, what’s with the weirdness since I came back?”

Now or never, he thinks with another swig of his beer. “You kissed me. Well, I kissed you. But you, uh, didn’t seem to mind.”

“Oh.”

He snorts. “Oh? That’s all you have to say. We have 20 years of history and you just have ‘Oh?’” He shakes his head. Everything feels fuzzy and loose and he’s desperate. “The thing is, Melinda, is I’ve been in love with you for most of those 20 years and I thought that LMD was you. I thought ‘Finally! She sees me!’ And now I know it isn’t you and before I can process any of that,” he laughs, humorlessly. “I’m going to fucking space. Space, Mel. If that’s not a sign that we’re maybe not meant to me, I don’t know what is.” 

She’s sitting next to him quietly, still sipping at her beer. Phil’s head hurts and his heart feels tender and alcohol has a way of bringing everything front and center and he hopes he doesn’t remember any of this tomorrow. 

Melinda stands, the half-empty bottle of beer still collecting condensation on the table. He thinks this is the part where she hits him or walks away; he wouldn’t blame her. Instead she’s pushing at his shoulders, forcing him to sit back in his chair. 

And then he has an armful of Melinda May and her hands are braced on his shoulders and her mouth is hovering over his. “I see you, Phil.”

His heart leaps into his throat and he sends a silent thanks to alcohol for the extra bit of courage that it takes to clutch her to him and surge up, his lips meeting hers. 

Melinda’s hands slide from his shoulders up into his hair and he keens at the feel of her nails against his scalp. He pushes his tongue past her lips, sweeping over every inch of her mouth and taking note of what makes her sigh and grind down against him. 

The alcohol makes his technique sloppy and desperate and for the first few hazy minutes, their kisses are a mess of teeth and tongues. The silence of the kitchen is suddenly filled with moans and the gentle, soft pop of their breaking kisses.

His pants are uncomfortably tight, his hands are under her shirt, and she’s sighing out his name. She pulls away and Phil has a brief moment to look at her: mussed hair, swollen, red lips, and eyes hazy with desire. He tucks a loose strand of hair behind her ear. 

“That’s what I would have done after we opened that bottle of Haig, Phil.”

She leans her forehead against his and settles herself more firmly in his lap, hands looping around his neck. He sighs. “I’m going to space, Mel. I want to stay here. With you.”

Melinda preses a kiss to his cheek and chin and lips. “I’ll be right here, waiting for you, rocket man.”
