Work Text:
Ava and Sara finally had a weekend off. They were at Ava's apartment. They where happy to spend time together away from work, the ship, the bureau and everyone. They just wanted to live in their bubble. Sara had suggested they bake cookies. She wanted to do something that was couple-y that didn't require Gideon. Ava agreed but soon found that trying to bake with a girlfriend who would rather be a distraction a challenge.
Ava went to the pantry and grabbed an apron. The apron read Kiss the Chef. It was a joke gift she got at one of the bureau Christmas parties. Sara took the logo to heart and repeatedly kissed Ava which delayed preparations. After 15 minutes of making out Ava finally pulled back placing her hand on Sara's chest as she tried to lean back in.
"Babe, I thought you wanted to bake cookies."
"I do, but I also want kisses. We can do both."
" I don't think we will ever get started if we don't stop, and I really want cookies."
" Baby, don't worry .. I already pre set the oven." Sara said reaching out and grabbing Ava's apron pulling her back to her.
"WHAT! Sara, we aren't even ready for that step."
Sara laughed at Ava's need to do things by the book. "It'll be okay babe. Give me one last kiss and I promise to help you and limit my kisses."
Ava smiled and leaned back in. Sara pushed her tongue past Ava's lips. She tangled her hands in her hair keeping Ava from going too far. Ava melted into Sara and wrapped her arms around her waist.
"mmmm..I love you so much." Ava whispered against her lips.
"I love you more."
"Alright, we need flour, sugar and eggs." Ava clapped her hands together walking into the pantry.
Sara watched with heart eyes as her girlfriend moved gracefully around her kitchen. Sara looked on feeling like she finally found where she belonged. She found her person to fight along side her on missions and then bake cookies with on the weekend. She never thought she'd have both. Someone who accepted all of her and asked for nothing in return, but Sara knew she'd give Ava whatever she asked for. She felt happy tears building behind her eyes. She forced them back knowing if Ava saw them she'd immediately be concerned. She didn't want to ruin this moment.
Ava tried her best to mix and measure the ingredients while her girlfriend pawed at her. Sara stood behind her running her hands up her shirt while placing kisses wherever she could reach. Ava would have to stop so that she could focus and even though she tried she failed at suppressing the moans Sara pulled out of her.
"Sara, as much as a I love having your hands on me. I am going to mess up."
"I don't care."
" You will when these don't turn out correctly."
Sara just hummed and removed her hands and backed away. Ava turned around to grab the eggs when she was met with a cloud of flour in her face. Her face, hair and clothes now white. She stood their shocked by her girlfriends antics. She didn't say a word as she moved around Sara to the fridge to grab the eggs. Sara laughed but then grew worried that she went to far when Ava didn't say a word.
"Aves? I'm sorry.."
It was then that she felt an egg being smashed on top of her head. The yolk running down the side of her face. Her jaw fell open surprised Ava would do such a thing.
"What the-"
Ava was now full on belly laughing to the point that she had to sit on the kitchen floor before she fell over. Sara started to laugh and moved to straddle her lap. She grabbed some of the egg from her hair and smeared it into Ava's hair. Both women were all smiles.
They both leaned in and kissed each other.
"What am I going to do with you, captain lance." Ava playfully said as she reached up for a rag to wipe Sara's face.
"Never let me go." Sara said as she melted into Ava's touch. Once Ava was done removing as much of the egg and flour as she could Sara laid her head on her shoulder.
They both sat on the floor until Ava started to get restless and moved to stand up causing Sara to pout. Ava stood up and held out her hands to pull Sara up. She wrapped her arms around Ava's neck silently asking to be held. Ava leaned down and grabbed Sara under her thighs and lifted her up. She adjusted her in her arms and got back to work making the cookies. Sara was happy to be as close to her love as possible. Being allowed to be soft and clingy was something she'd used to push down as not to appear weak, but she didn't have to do that anymore. She pressed a kiss to Ava's check and then buried her face in her neck. Once the the cookies were in the oven Ava set the timer and carried Sara to the bathroom and set her on the sink. When she tried to back away she was met with resistance.
"Sara you need to let go."
"No."
"Yes, honey. We need to rinse off. We are covered in flour and egg. Its sticky and gross. Come now...let me undress you."
That got Sara moving. Spending time with Ava naked always took priority. In no time both women were standing under the water. They took turns washing and shampooing each other. Afterwards, they moved to the bed opting not to put clothes on. They both wanted the skin to skin contact. It was then the timer went off.
"Wait, right here," Ava said before leaning over and planting a kiss to Sara's forehead. Sara watched her love walk out of the room.
A couple of minutes later, Ava returned with two cookies wrapped in a paper towel.
"Here ya go!"
"They smell delicious," Sara said as she moved to sit against the head board.
Ava handed over the cookie and they both took a bite and moaned at the gooey goodness. After they consumed the cookies they snuggled down in the bed.
Sara turned to press herself against Ava's side. She laid her head on her shoulder and threw a leg over her thigh. " I love you so much." She whispered into her ear.
Ava smiled and turned her head to press a kiss into her hair while squeezing Sara tighter. " I love you too."
Sara smiled feeling loved and wanted. She reached over and grabbed the remote turning on the movie Swamp Thang.
