Anna Fetterman

went into the field but for her civilian disguise, she's training to be a pilot.

She actually had to go through said training to keep up the disguise.

She does undercover work and honestly it's quite scary to realize Anna could've been on the same mission as some of her friends or coworkers as silent backup and they might not always spot her.

Married Carl (her boyfriend from book 1) and has two amazing daughters now

can and will surprise visit her friends just to keep them on their toes (she and Macey do coffee dates where they try out new cafes and chat)

Eva Alvarez

worked in the field for a few years in the FBI but after Kim Lee got seriously injured she left quickly

currently works a simple 9-5 office job and helps out in her community because even without being a super spy she can still help change the world

Kim Lee

did go to a community college to get an associate's degree in engineering and later continued to pursue a higher education in that field

even after her injury, Kim stayed in the field but soon moved into lab work making gadgetry and usually explosive prototypes. She did accidentally microwave one prototype and Eva put her on bed rest until she could correctly count the number of fingers Eva was holding up

Mick Morrison

went to college with Tina Walters as they had planned a long time ago

Got a degree in kinesiology and tried working in the field for a few years but she could never feel like it was really her place

When an opening for a new P&E assistant coach opened up Mick gave it a shot and found she really loved teaching

Sits beside Liz at the teachers table in the Grand Hall and they share gossip about their students

Courtney Bauer

worked for the CIA for quite some time. Stayed in the field as she found it was the place and path for her. Her civilian disguise was at first just a fresh out of high school young adult traveling the world to find herself. Now she's in a 'complicated business' that requires her to go overseas a lot but she fights tooth and nail to make it home for the holidays, big events, etc

she's usually late or the last to arrive and no one lets her live it down

(she was at least early to the reunion)

She, Eva, and Tina stayed close

those three idiots could never just fall apart even if they sometimes go weeks with zero communication

Tina W Walters

took some time after the fire to heal and breathe

went to college alongside Mick Morrison. Worked damn hard for that journalism degree and while she technically fulfilled her legacy as a third-generation gossip columnist, she's got a lot going on behind the scenes.

Worked for a short time in the field for the CIA like the rest of the Walters Women of the past

Changed to being a recruiter after mending her relationship with her mom and has nearly doubled the class count with how many girls she's adopted recruited

unknowingly became the next Buckingham for most of these girls and ya know Rachel it would've been nice to, you know, TELL HER SHE WAS ON THE DAMN PAYROLL

99.99% of her gossip papers are all about Macey, it's so damn funny

Macey helps by the way, they bond over it

there is an infamous page 10 Tina wrote one day that was more of a petty revenge thing than a 'lol taking shit about Macey for my job' thing

The much anticipated Preston freaking Winters

I'm not honestly sure

He spent a lot of time with his mom for sure, she didn't know anything after all and she just lost her husband. He wasn't going to let her lose her son too

did a lot of soul-searching but I'm not sure how much he stayed in politics. He might've honesty just stayed to keep in the loop about anything nefarious and found a way to contact his favorite girls

probably had to go underground with his mom for a while as the Circle scrambled after their leaders were gone (he is an heir technically)

I'd like to think he and Macey still talked but they didn't date for quite some time. They both needed to heal but they were there for each other. Who else could possibly understand them better than the other?

Zach Goode

from what I personally think along with the timeline of the books I do believe Zach went straight into the field while Cam did halfsies with school and work

did a lot of leg work with Bex since she also went straight into the field and while they were technically working for different agencies they're still a goofy little duo that know each other well enough to figure out where on earth they might be off to

attended some of Cammie's classes with her sometimes, mostly when he had downtime and wanted to just be with her or even take notes for her when she wasn't feeling too good

i refuse with all of my ass to believe he waited ten years to propose (sorry y'all but have you SEEN HIM)

“You can't rush stretching, it’s bad for the muscles.” Eva huffed and jogged in place. Tina rolled her eyes and rested her elbow on the desk they had stolen from the storage room, wiggling her fingers as she waited. 

“Keep stalling all you want Alvarez, but you’re going to have to hold my hand eventually.” Tina teased as she leaned forward, giving her roommate a playful wink as Eva batted her eyelashes at her 

“Give me a minute, I’m shy.” Eva played along, hiding behind her hand ‘bashfully’ before bursting out in giggles and snorts. 

“Come on guys.” Kim Lee whined impatiently, bouncing on the balls of her feet as she glanced over anxiously at Anna who was currently fighting a losing battle against Mick(who was at least letting Anna get in a few good pushes, even if Anna was technically cheating by grabbing the side of the desk). 

Eva laughed and gently shoved the shorter girl with her hip as she made her way across the desk from Tina. 

“Okay, okay. Relax Tiny, Mick’s still gonna be there when we’re done.” Eva smiled and Tina rolled her eyes. Kim was only three inches shorter now but apparently Eva was still going to milk their height difference for all it was worth(while it lasted). 

“Alright alright!” Courtney’s booming voice called as she clapped her hands, her metal whistle jingling on its chain around her neck. Courtney leaned down giraffe style and looked between Tina and Eva’s joint hands. 

“I want a fair fight you two,” She said, giving Eva(who was known to bite) a long look. “Which means; no biting, kicking, licking, pinching, punching, snorting, spitting, throwing, wrist slamming- I’m still very sorry Kim.”

“ ’s cool.” Kim shrugged, rolling her left wrist to show it had healed well since the last class wide arm wrestling contest. 

“We know the rules Courtney, we all wrote them.” Tina reminded her and Courtney rolled their eyes and held Tina’s and Eva’s hands together. 

“Behave.” She warned and Eva and Tina nodded solemnly. 

“We will.” They promised in unison and Courtney nodded, satisfied with herself. 

“Good.” Courtney nodded and then leaned in again as Eva and Tina kissed either side of their face and then, for good luck and good sportsmanship, kissed each other’s cheek as well. 

“Do we have to add no smooching too?” Kim teased and then squealed when, in turn, Courtney, Eva, and Tina gave her each a kiss on the cheek as well. 

“I dunno, should we?” Eva teased as Kim tried to hide her red face behind her hands, the toe of her shoe gently pushing at the carpet in front of her. 

“Well, geez,” Kim said softly as she giggled and touched her cheek. “Guess not.”

Courtney laughed and Kim hid her face into their shoulder as Courtney blew her whistle. Together, Eva and Tina pushed against each other’s hand, trying to tilt the other girl down to the face of the desk and win. 

“You going soft Alvarez?” Tina teased through gritted teeth as Eva scoffed and blew a strand of hair away from her face. 

“You wish Walters.”

“I’m just saying, I’m just cruising over here.” Tina huffed as Eva grunted and sucked in a quick breath. 

“Why are you so red then?”

“Cause I’m holding hands with the cutest girl in school.” Tina winked and Courtney huffed and stage-whispered to Kim. 

“I thought I was the cutest.” 

“You got a crush on lil’ ol’ me?” Eva grinned as Tina blew her a kiss. 

“You wish Alvarez.” Tina shot Eva words back at her and Eva rolled her eyes and Tina watched as her face scrunched up with focus, the muscles on her neck straining with effort as Tina took a deep breath and continued to hold her ground.

“You feel soft Eva.” Tina quipped as she won a bit of ground and Eva groaned and started pushing harder to regain it. 

“The only thing soft here is the infirmary bed I’m going to put you in.” Eva huffed and clenched Tina’s hand impossibly tighter and Tina winced, Eva managing to slip the odds into her favor thanks to Tina’s temporary moment of weakness. 

“That’s cute but we both know that bed’s reserved for your ass.” Tina wheezed and with a deep breath she tilted their hands back to the middle, putting them back in the stalemate they had been in before. 

“Really, I swear I wrote down Tina the Loser on the clipboard.” Eva snapped back and Tina took a breath so she could boo her opponent. 

“That was lame.”

“You’re lame.”

“Your face is lame.”

“Hey! I thought I was the cutest girl in class.” Eva grumbled and Tina won just a sliver on an inch and saw the crack in Eva’s defenses as sweat began to form on her forehead. 

“We both know it’s Courtney.”

“Awe, thanks guys.” Courtney piped up and Kim gently elbowed them in the ribs. 

“Ref, focus.” Kim said softly and Courtney nodded. 

“Right, thanks ref.” Courtney beamed and Kim smiled and bumped their shoulders together.

“No problem ref.” 

“You guys,” Eva panted out as she started to lose more ground to Tina. “are so…gross.”

“And...you’re…a...loser!” Tina huffed and with one last big push, slammed Eva’s hand into the wood of the desk with a thud and Kim jumped up and raced off to go against Mick. 

“That’s not fair!” Eva immediately cried, jumping up from her seat as Tina whooped and raised her fists in victory, rolling up her sleeves and kissing each of her biceps. 

“Eat my splinters Alvarez!” Tina shouted, pointing to the desk. “You see that? That’s your defeat right there!” 

“I demand a rematch! I totally would have won!” Eva huffed as Courtney just directed her to the other defeated girls to fight against. 

“Your hand touched wood Eva,” Courtney shrugged. 

“I was distracted!” Eva whined and Tina grabbed her shoulder, laughing victoriously. 

“Distracted by these weapons of destruction!” Tina whooped and flexed her arms proudly, doing little air punches. Eva groaned loudly and slumped in her seat across Anna who at least tried to offer her some comfort while Tina all but shouted from the balcony. 

“Alright!” Tina beamed as she sat back down in her chair, leaning it on its back two legs. “Who's up next to take on the champ?” 

Tina grinned proudly, folding her hands behind her head and then looked over as sweet, soft giggling approached her from her left. Tina looked over and saw Cameron Morgan walking over, her flannel flowing slightly behind her. 

“I’m guessing you won?” Cammie asked as if she hadn’t heard Tina from all the way across the room. 

“Unfairly!” Eva shouted from her seat across Anna who did her best to put up a good fight. 

“You’re a sore loser!” Tina shouted back as she sat her chair back down on all four legs. Tina turned to Cammie and gave her a grin. 

“Who’d you beat?” 

“Lizzie,” Cammie said simply, gesturing over her shoulder at the little blonde who shook hands with Courtney while Mick refereed. Tina nodded and waited as Caoimhe walked over. 

“Ready you two?” They asked, looking between the two and Tina playfully waggled her eyebrows at Cammie. 

“Are you going to take your flannel off Cam? I don’t want you to sweat all over it.” Tina teased lightly, knowing Cammie could get a bit sweaty during P&E. 

Cammie laughed softly, shaking her head and wiggled out of the oversized flannel and Tina froze. She watched as Cammie turned to drape her flannel over the back of her chair, her gray cotton shirt with the words ‘Nebraska corn’ written on the front (with a cartoonish image of a grinning ear of corn), did nothing to hide the powerful muscle underneath Tina hadn’t noticed before. 

Cammie shook her head, her dirty blonde hair flying around her face angelically as she rested her elbow on the desk, muscles flexed and ready as Tina just stared at the girl across from her. Cammie looked up at Tina through her eyelashes, those big brown doe eyes that reflected all sorts of light as the window behind Cammie made her already light colored hair shine like a halo. 

“Ready?” She asked softly, that sweet gentle twang in her voice made something in Tina’s chest lurch forward and Tina nodded numbly as she rested her hand on the table. 

“Yeah,” Tina breathed out and she nearly fell over when Cammie smiled at her, the apples of her cheeks rising, making the soft sprinkling of freckles across the bridge of her nose and cheeks dance as her smile met her eyes. 

Caoimhe nodded and gently clasped their hands together and Tina felt her face growing hot as Cammie wrapped her fingers around Tina’s hand. The girls’ words faded away to white noise as Tina just stared at Cammie’s hands. The soft, nearly invisible blonde hairs on the back of her hand, the warm sunny tan Cammie had gotten over the summer break(probably from helping out at her grandparents farm again). Had Cammie’s hands always been so warm? So tender yet rough, callused from whatever hard work Cammie had done over the summer to get so strong and-

Tina yelped as with Caoimhe’s commanding ‘Go!’ Cammie pushed with all her might against Tina’s hand, expecting the other girl to do the same but couldn't stop the momentum once it started and Tina fell right out of her chair. She took the desk and chair with her to the floor as she fell over with the powerful force of Cammie Morgan and blinked up at the ceiling. 

“Tina!” Cammie gasped and raced out of her chair and leaned over her, looking down at her. “Oh geez, are you okay?” She flustered about as she looked Tina up and down as Tina just blinked. 

 “Um, yeah.” Tina gasped softly and her eyes focused on Cammie’s worried face, the way her crooked nose tilted further to the side as her face scrunched up with concern. Cammie leaned down as she looked over her, her hand reaching up to tuck a blonde curl behind her ear. 

“I thought you were ready.” Cammie said softly and offered Tina her hand. 

“Me too,” Tina groaned as she covered her face with her hands embarrassed. She sighed against her palms and then parted her fingers as she heard Cammie giggle. She watched the blonde try to cover her laughter with her elbow politely, shaking her head to try and get rid of the giggles.  

“Sorry, sorry it's just.” Cammie paused and her smile leaned heavily to one said as she pressed her lips together trying to hide it. “Your face is just…”

She trailed off and gestured vaguely to Tina who felt herself blush, grinning back up at the blonde. 

“I’m just surprised Cam,” Tina said softly and Cammie blushed a soft pretty pink as she offered her hand to Tina. 

“Come on,” She said sweetly and Tina wanted to refuse to see what she’d do. What she’d say. Cammie tucked back the strand of hair that had gotten loose again and Tina wondered how she hadn’t noticed all of this before. Her sparkling smile, the way it tittered to one side when she was hiding it. The cute pink color of her lips, the way they looked so soft and sweet and-

Oh

Oh

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH-

“Come on Tina,” Cammie said playfully, standing by Tina’s feet, planting herself firmly as she held out both hands to her and Tina took them, relishing in how warm they were and how perfectly they seemed to fit together, like something that was always meant to be without doubt or question. Like the sun and moon sharing the sky, and like the sky and the stars holding each other close. 

Tina looked into the determined brown eyes of Cameron Morgan, saw the future they held, the invisible path they walked and Tina wished that even in darkness they could walk it together someday. 

“Thanks,” Tina said softly once she was back on her feet. 

“No problem.” Cammie smiled and picked up her flannel off the chair she once sat in. She turned to go but not before she spun on her heels, looking at Tina with her hands gently caped behind her back. “Maybe sit down for a second.” 

And with that, she spun back around and walked over to Courtney Bauer. Tina blinked and stumbled back, sitting on the common room couch that they had pushed to the side to make space for their arm wrestling contest. 

Tina blinked and started down at her empty hand, completely dazed, so much so that she hadn’t noticed someone sneaking up behind her until Eva whispered in her ear. 

“Loser.”

Tina huffed and reached back, grabbing Eva’s collar and throwing her over the back of the couch and onto the floor. 

“I will knock you out Alvarez!” Tina snapped, her face growing red again as Courtney jumped up from her chair and blew their whistle at them.

ANYWAY

“Oh Micky remember!” Tina called out, holding the wall for support as she swung back gently, looking at Mick’s back as she tugged on her coat and grabbed the car keys. Mick turned to face her and Tina felt her heart start to race inside her chest, she cleared her throat and took a small breath. 

“Um j-junior mints.” Tina sputtered out, gently pressing herself against the wall for further support as she tried to quell the red hot blush that tried to creep up her face. 

“Junior mints, I know.” Mick said in her low smooth voice and Tina thought her knees would buckle out beneath her. She let out a small half sigh and felt herself smiling like an idiot as she watched Mick fix the collar of her coat and gently pull out her hair from underneath. 

Tina walked forward and looked up at the taller woman, Mick looked down at her curiously and Tina smiled as she reached up to fix her collar for her. Tina let her hands rest on Mick’s shoulders longer than necessary and tried to soak in the moment as much as she could before she had to leave and continue her mission. 

Mick’s large, warm hand reached up and cupped Tina’s face and Tina felt her breath catch as Mick gently pressed her lips against Tina’s and Tina kissed her back. Leaning forward, following Mick’s lips as the taller woman moved away and Tina all but snapped her neck pulling back when she realized Mick was trying to end the kiss. 

“Oh! Sorry I-” Tina floundered about for words but found herself losing her mind as Mick’s thumb gently rubbed Tina’s bottom lip as a coy smirk spread across her face. 

“See you soon.” Mick whispered and slowly let go of Tina, turning and heading out the door of their apartment. Tina fell to the floor when the door finally shut and she gripped the fabric over her pounding heart and took deep breaths. 

Tina groaned aloud and let herself fall over with a light thud, looking up at the ceiling as her heart soared in her ears and her face burned hotter than she thought she could physically handle. 

Twelve months, fifty-eight dates, many very long and very romantic nights of falling asleep in each other's arms, and god knows how many kisses and yet Tina still felt so lovestruck, so dumbfounded after each kiss and hand hold. It still hadn’t fully settled in her mind that it was okay to hold Mick’s hand when she wanted to, kiss her when the moment suited them both. 

As Tina’s watch beeped, signaling it was ‘go time’ Tina took in a determined breath and scrambled to her feet, making her way to the bathroom to freshen up, shower, and get ready to knock Mick Morrison’s socks off. 

It had officially been a whole year since Mick and Tina had ‘officially’ started dating(Mick had apparently thought they had been dating two weeks beforehand). While their confession wasn’t exactly ideal or as romantic as Tina had dreamed of, still, she wouldn’t trade the moment for anything else in the world(even the daydream that had involved Dolly Parton). 

Tina paused and let herself stand there under the running water of the shower and brought her hand to her lips as she recalled that night at the drive-in. She remembered the tears she had shed, thinking she had pushed too far, pouring her heart open since she couldn’t take it anymore. She could still feel Mick’s lips against hers, the wood biting against her the back, the passion of Mick’s careful hands as she-

Tina blinked and yanked the water temperature as cold as she could handle and took a deep breath. 

When Tina went through every step of her routine she hopped out the shower and wrapped herself up in her towel, crouching down and opening the cabinet door and taking out the most embarrassing article of clothing she had ever willingly purchased. She laid it down on the sink counter and did everything as she had practiced. 

This night had to be perfect. 

Tina let out a sigh as she started to cap the lipstick in her hands, trying to control the insistent fidgeting that kept overriding her control, making her twist the lipstick up and down making it harder to close the damn thing. 

She favored biting the inside of her cheek over gnawing at her lip in fear of staining her teeth with the fresh coat of color and turned to the mirror, holding back her groan. 

What was she thinking?- No! No, if was fine, this was fine. Nothing strange about it, she was just…standing here…in the bathroom…surrounded by a mountain of CYnThIa McHeNrY(gag)’s make-up products, hair products, and god only knows what that weird purple foam thing was supposed to be-

Tina let a groan rip between her teeth as her hands reached up, possibly to muse with her hair but she stopped herself cold, freezing before her hands could ruin her own hard work. It had taken her over an hour to perfect the peek-a-boo look with her new short hair and she was not going to mess it up over self consciousness.  

What on earth did she even have to be self conscious about?! She was Tina Fucking Walters! Daughter of the First Lady! Granddaughter of the Tabitha Walters, once head of the Trustees. Her father was such an undercover genius he got a new name on Thanksgiving! She was the raw untapped hotness that came out of a hail of gunfire in Peru nearly unscathed! So what if she lost a pinky toe, she looked great anyway!

Tina took another deep breath and started bouncing on the tips of her toes, trying to pump herself up. 

She was hot, she was dangerous, and she was ready. Tina nodded to herself in the mirror, taking in one last look at herself before opening the door of the bathroom. 

Tina strode confidently to their shared room and opened the door, ready to light a few candles to set a soft lighting mood, maybe spritz some perfume but what Tina hadn’t calculated was Mick standing there in their bedroom, facing the door Tina had just walked through. 

Tina froze, Mick dropped the lighter she had been holding(but thankfully not the candle). 

They stared at each other for what felt like forever. 

“I,” Tina began, trying to find wherever her voice had gone in the humongous vacuum of silence and confusing tension they had made. “I…didn’t hear you come in.” 

“Spy,” Mick said after another long pause, gesturing to herself with the unlit candle in her hand and Tina wanted to jump through the window, grab the neighbor’s 12-foot-tall skeleton, four packs of mint chewing gum, baby powder and-

“You um,” Mick cleared her throat and gently set the candle down on the bed and Tina noticed where her stare kept lingering and both embarrassment and pride battled each other in her head like two power hungry monarchs demanding control. Tina watched as Mick gently rested the backs of her legs against the bed frame and brought her hand up to her face, covering her mouth as her eyes slowly went all the way down the length of Tina’s body and then slowly(so slowly) back up to meet Tina’s eyes. 

“Yes?” Tina pushed and Mick closed her eyes and took a deep, shaking breath. She brought both her hands together like a prayer and opened her eyes and Tina leaned against the door frame, taking in every detail. 

“Oh god,” Mick said softly and sat down on the bed, lowering her head and dragging her hand down her face as she looked up at Tina through her infuriatingly long lashes(genetics were so unfair). 

“Micky?” Tina asked softly and took a step forward, and then another. Mick sat up straight as a flagpole as Tina took the three long strides from the door to the bed and stood in front of Mick. Mick’s squared shoulders lowered with the exhale of another shaking breath as Mick’s eyes wandered around Tina’s new outfit once more. 

“You’ve just…had this?” Mick stumbled out, Tina noticed how Mick had to turn her head almost all the way up to look at Tina without being tempted to glance back down. 

“I bought it some time ago,” Tina confirmed vaguely and Mick nodded quickly. 

“Cool, cool, yep I uh,” Mick cleared her throat a few times(four) and dragged her hands down her coat a couple more(seven). “You look- you look just…”

Mick trailed off, her hands seeming to be stuck in a time loop as she raised them up and down helpless and suddenly it all came together. It was like the universe had called Tina up on speed dial and said ‘let me do you a favor girl friend’ and whacked Tina with the phone receptor. 

Tina stared at the nightstand where Mick’s bulging purse sat, candles poking out of the open zipper of the bag. She noticed the lighter on the floor, the plastic flowers in the vase Mick stole from their kitchen(pollen was a bitch). 

Tina glanced down at Mick who just stared up at Tina, her brown eyes shimmering in the light of the few lit candles she had placed around the room carefully before Tina had walked in. Glancing around the room everything screamed the perfect evening Tina had envisioned for them both. 

Tina gently pulled away and started to giggle, gently kneeling to pick up the lighter Mick had dropped and walked over to Mick’s purse. She rested her hip on the nightstand as she opened the purse just a smudge wider. 

She rummaged inside, laughing as she grabbed one of Mick’s many many candles(seriously, how does a grown woman fit 47 candles in a purse???) and lit a few, placing them down carefully before turning back to Mick and-

Tina froze, her eyes, once locked with Mick’s now stared down past her collarbone to the newly exposed skin and abandoned coat. Her eyes went over every roll, every curve, every inch of flushed skin that was fully on display for her to see. 

Mick had always been beautiful to Tina. How could she be anything less. Well before Tina’s wilder pining years, Mick was the most gorgeous girl in the world. Even back when Mick dared to disagree, back when she didn’t have to look down to stare at Tina, back when Tina had been the taller of the two. 

From her goofy smile, to the imperfections of her crooked teeth, her full cheeks and their rosy coloration, her brilliant brown eyes that could always find her in a crowd, the strong furrow of her brows, her messy hair, like a lion’s mane. There wasn’t an inch of her Tina hadn’t known throughout their years together, not a speck upon her body Tina dared to love any less than the rest of her, Mick was what all the stars and poets envied. She was the center of a mindless universe, day and night turned for her to shower her in their brilliant blankets of light. There wasn’t a thing Tina wouldn’t risk, a soul she would not reap, a gift she would not steal, a prize she would not win if Mick only asked it of her. 

Tina Walters would set the world on fire if she knew it would keep Mick warm. She would have held the burning sphere on her shoulders for eternity if it meant giving Mick a break. Tina would jump through any hoop, no matter how small if it meant forever would be preserved for the two of them. 

Poet’s call soulmates many names; the other half of a person, the complement, the missing piece. Tina called hers, Mick. 

“Tina?” Her voice, how could she have forgotten it? The gentle whisper that fluttered about the room was so strong and low, like the bellowing of a cello, playing a magnificent solo in a performance hall just for her ears alone. 

“You okay?” She asked and Tina blinked and snapped herself back to the present, coming down from her cloud. Mick tilted her head with a look of confusion and slight worry, her lips pressed tight in a poorly concealed smile. 

“Where’d your shirt go?” The words came strangled out of Tina’s mouth like she was just relearning to speak. Mick shrugged casually as though Tina asked about the weather. She learned forward, her hands resting between her open legs, gripping the fabric of the bedsheets as her arms pressed closer squeezing her chest-

“Which one of us is supposed to be the seductress here?” Tina huffed and crossed her arms and Mick’s brows shot up. That stupid smug smirk plastered wide across her face as her eyes took another loooong drag up and down Tina’s body. They hadn’t even finished their duty as Mick spoke. 

“Still you,” The words were breathy and full of whatever haze seemed to have fallen upon them both. Tina pressed her lips together and took a small step towards Mick and she watched as her eyes bounced up just a little higher. She took another step, then she took what few strides would lead her between Mick’s legs, her knee brushing against the mattress as Mick’s eyes climbed back up to meet hers and Tina’s legs began to wobble. 

Mick’s hands slowly rested upon Tina’s waist, hesitant, careful, and loose. Her beautiful brown eyes bore into her own as her brows started to try and meet in the middle, a question unsaid. Tina sighed happily, she rested their foreheads together and shut her eyes. 

“I love you…” She whispered and Mick shifted, her lips kissing Tina’s forehead before returning to how she was before. 

“I love you too.” Tina wrapped her arms around Mick’s neck and held her close as Mick’s hands rested on her back, hugging her. 

They stayed like that for a long time before Tina pulled away just enough to look at Mick. 

“It’s on the fan isn’t it?” Mick’s eyes glanced up and then beyond Tina’s head, she looked back and smiled sheepishly at her. Tina laughed and kissed her cheek. 

“You’re too cute Micky.” Mick snorted and raised a brow. 

“Cute?” Mick scoffed and as much as she tried to look slightly offended, her smile won through. 

“Cute.” Tina confirmed and kissed the corner of her lips. 

Mick rolled her eyes as they drank in every detail, trailing down as her hands started to travel down Tina’s sides. 

“Cute.” Mick said again to no one in particular. Her words trailed off like there was more to be said so Tina stayed silent. “Not, hot or outrageously sexy or…” her fingers found one of the many straps to the lingerie and snapped it lightly causing Tina to release a sound she didn’t even know she could make. Tina covered her mouth with her hand and pulled Mick close, resting her chin on top of Mick’s head so the other woman couldn’t see what effect she had on her. “Damn, what’s that thing Eva always says?”

Mick tsk-ed her tongue and gently nudged Tina, kissing a soft spot on her neck and Tina muffled the high pitched whine that broke out of her. Her nails dug into Mick’s shoulder when Mick’s strong hand snapped another strap. 

“Come on Tina,” She whispered and then breathed softly into Tina’s skin. “Help me out here. What does Eva always say?” 

“I am NOT talking about Eva right now.” Tina growled out from between clenched teeth. Mick kissed her neck and Tina tilted her head without thinking, granting her better access. Her lips were like a torture Tina wished to never end, trailing up to her ear and whispering to her in a huskier tone that Tina heard before during their night at the drive-in. 

“Hella bewitching?” Of all the things-

Tina pulled back and looked at Mick bewildered, confused, wildly stimulated beyond belief and that is what gets whispered in her ear?

Mick just grinned at her and Tina kissed her to shut her up. Mick said nothing else as she deepened the kiss, holding Tina as close as she could to her body as if she were trying to wield them together. Tina let out a soft sound that fluttered from the pit of her stomach and rumbled in her throat as she felt Mick start to pepper her in sweet kisses up and down her neck. Tina tilted her head, giving Mick as much access as she could ever want and Tina had to bite back a moan when she felt Mick’s teeth gently sink into the flesh of her shoulder. 

Tina rested her hand on Mick’s shoulders and gently fringed the straps of her bra, she looked down Mick’s body and raised a brow. 

“Since when do you own this bra?” Tina asked bluntly, swearing if she had ever seen Mick wear this before she would definitely remember. 

“Since when do you own lingerie?” Mick muttered between kisses and bites. 

“First of all, it's technically a costume and- hey, don't forget to chew you vampire.” Tina teased and she giggled when she felt Mick gently nibble at her neck. 

“But I’m hungry.” Mick pretended to whine and Tina saw a chance and took it. With Mick momentarily distracted by the light banter Tina pressed her down on the bed, straddling her hips with her thighs, looming over her and smiling when she saw Mick’s stunned expression. 

“Is that so?” Tina hummed and dragged her finger nail down the length of Mick’s collarbone and then up the hills of her breasts before stopping just millimeters away from the lacey fabric of Mick’s bra. Tina saw Mick gulp, audibly heard the sound, and Tina felt drunk on a power she had never known before. Mick nodded slowly and Tina gently brushed her finger against the strap of the bra.
