"Can this be a thing?" Logan asked, uncertainty showing in his voice for the first time that night. He wasn't sure what she wanted out of this - whether it was a relationship or just a little fun in the sheets. He knew the answer he wanted, but all things considered, he was never very smooth at asking 'the big questions.' The fear of rejection is probably one of the most universal fears on earth - crossing race, country, and religion. Nobody wanted to be turned down. "You're kinda growing on me De, that is, if you can see yourself with an old fart like myself," he added - confidence returning to his voice, "We'll keep it kosher at work, we can do this," he said, planting a kiss on her cheek.

Logan was genuinely nervous, because he really wanted this to work. Few things in this world could terrify him as much as waiting for the response from her. In his mind, it was simple. He wasn't proposing to her, he wasn't asking her to move in, he was just pussy-footing around asking her to be his girlfriend. Azalea was a wonderful match for him, the pair were intelligent, and successful, and both of them had a past. Both of them needed someone, and he thought that they had each found that someone. Work would be harmless. The team would most likely support them, but he had a feeling she would want to keep it under wraps - it didn't bother him as long as he could remain in her company. Plus, working on the same team, he wouldn't have to worry about something happening when he wasn't around - not so much with other guys, he was never Jealous - but he could protect her if he was around.

As Azalea squeezed his hand - he squeezed back. It seemed like the world truly made sense - sitting here, wrapped up in each other. Few people can understand the genuine peace of moments like that. He turned his head towards the TV, and sighed. "Where's the clicker? We need to find something to watch, or I'm liable to start kissing you, straight through till morning," he said with a smile. He figured it was more of an invitation for the latter than to really watch something on TV, but he could improvise with either situation.

Azalea froze for a moment, hearing that question. It was a small question, but held so much power in it. The heart seemed to pause for a moment as the young woman turned, connecting her gaze with his. The mocha eyes scanned Logan's, not really knowing what she was searching for, but end up finding it when hearing his next comment. The Lieutenant thought about it for a moment. The night was amazing. Since the break up with Sean, Andre couldn't remember having this fun or being this happy. Biting the bottom lip, she slowly nodded, giving his hand another squeeze, feeling the heart starting to speed up again, and skip a few extra beats. The brunette felt like a little school girl, hearing that her crush liked her. Hold back the giggles and the spazzy girly dance for later. Keep it together be calm and cool. It was hard to keep the giddy smile from coming through. That was okay, but anything more would be weird.

Leaning up, Azalea kissed him softly, smiling against his lips, letting the kiss linger for a moment before pulling back. "Yes, this can be a 'thing." She gave him a teasing wink before kissing him again, but this time making it last longer. For how the day started out, the female didn't expect this to happen. It started out lonely, but ended with the most amazing man by her side who was now hers officially. It was going to be difficult. They were on the same team, and even if he didn't understand it, they really did have to keep this on the down low for the time being. Maybe over time he would see why they had to keep this quiet. Maybe over time they would be able to share it, but right now, it was best to keep it quiet. Though none of that matter because she was happy. Two lonely souls were together now. That was the only thing that mattered. They needed each other without even knowing it. Nothing made Andre more happy.

Laughing, Azalea reached over him, smirking as she did grabbing the remote. "I wouldn't be opposed to that at all." She winked, handing him the remote, giving him a kiss, before resting her head back on his chest. It didn't matter what they did the rest of the night. As long as she was by his side, nothing mattered anymore. There was nothing that was going to pry her away from his side. Well not till the next mission that was. Then she would have to leave reluctantly.
