WHO: Melinda May & Grant Ward
WHAT: Ward has some things that he wants to say, that he probably should have said awhile ago, and he doesn't want to do them any way but face-to-face.
WHEN: June 23rd; Evening
WHERE: Melinda May's Apartment
RATING: PG-13
STATUS: In Progress
Ward could practically see his heartbeat as he slipped out of his apartment and headed down the hall to May's. The thumping in his head gave his entire view a slight vibration, which was an odd thing to experience for an operative so used to being in control, but he didn't think he could just swallow this situation. Ward wasn't used to putting himself out there or making himself vulnerable. It was something that specialists tended to avoid and specialists like him, with nasty histories of abuse and misuse, took get pains to avoid. But there wasn't any real option here, as far as he could see, but place himself in a position like that in order to get the dance that he and May had been doing since his HYDRA affiliations had been revealed resolved.
One way or another.
Raising a hand to knock on the door, Ward leaned slightly on the wall next to it, forehead pressed against the plaster as he took several slow, swallow breaths. He could keep himself together. He could. He could say these things and not run screaming for the hills before she could answer, or try and play them off as a joke to keep her from rejecting him if it seemed like she was about to. How in the hell did normal people even do these things on a regular basis?
