Work Text:
Watching as Maggie was finishing up her work that day, blueprints haphazardly strewn about her office space and connected workshop, you steel yourself for what you assume will be an embarrassment at best. Alas, your friends finally made you fess up to your crush on the chief engineer, so now here you stand, with a box of quite expensive rum chocolates in hand. Just as you were about to turn tail and flee, she spots you, just your luck. Prior annoyance replaced with a grin, she jogs over and before you can get a word out she knocks the wind out of you with a friendly (for Maggie) slap on the back.
"Hey, look who's here to brighten up this shitty day" Her tone was playful, but you both know she's sick of the job. Only thing keeping her is the pay and an ominous promise from Mr. Fairfax himself, which she never elaborates on.
"Hey Maggie, sorry I couldn't be here earlier, had some obligations and well-" before you could finish Maggie already interrupted you.
"Are those chocolates? Wait, today is Valentines, isn't it?" Her tone switched immediately, she sounds slightly dejected. "Oh man, got a lucky guy in mind I see- or gal! You know, I wouldn't care if you were into girls..." She stops and awkwardly scratches her neck, moving her weight from one foot to the other.
"I, umm, yes" Great job there pal. Maggie looks even more devastated at your words.
"O-of course, someone like you must have their eyes on a special person, eh? Who is it?" She tries to sound playful, but you can hear the forced smile no matter how hard she tries.
Throwing caution to the wind, you hold the chocolates up to her, her face immediately turning to one of surprise.
"They are for you, Maggie" Averting your gaze immediately, you don't want to see her reaction, just in case it turns into disgust.
"Oh shit, I didn't think you'd actually" Maggie stops, and takes a deep breath. She takes the chocolates from your outstretched hands and then steps closer, her free hand holding your chin so that you're forced to look at her "I didn't think you were actually interested in me..." Her voice is quite, way too quite for boisterous Maggie. Her eyes softer than anything you've seen before.
"I, um, can I kiss you?" Why would you say that???. But Maggie chuckles, still holding your chin she moves you two closer before finally enveloping your lips with her own.
