Chapter Text
“So I went to a wedding the other day.”
Shaw didn’t respond, opting to bury herself deeper into her pillow with a grunt.
“It was nice,” Root continued as if she wasn’t having this conversation at three in the morning. “A bit somber considering the circumstances,” she said, scrunching up her face as she stared at the bedroom ceiling. “Still...nice.”
Shaw huffed, blowing small strands of loose hair from her face. She flipped onto her side, facing away from Root. After a moment of silence, she released a content sigh.
“Wasn’t a big fan of the color scheme.”
Shaw’s whole body tensed. Her eyes sprang open and narrowed into slits. Releasing a groan, she turned over and glared at Root. “Seriously?” she hissed tiredly as her eyes adjusted and took in Root’s nonchalant face bathed in moonlight.
Root lulled her head to the side, eyes shining with adoration. “Have you ever thought about marriage?”
Shaw’s eyebrows shot up. “It’s three in the morning and you wanna talk about marriage?” She asked with an incredulous look.
Root only grinned in response.
Shaw shook her head, a small smile of disbelief tugging at her lips. “Unbelievable,” Shaw chuckled quietly. She shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t know,” she finally said, after a beat.
Root turned onto her side, fully facing Shaw. “It’s a yes or no question, Sameen.”
Shaw rolled her eyes. “Can’t say it’s been at the forefront of my thoughts.” She said, shrugging once again.
“Of course not,” Root said as her eyes took on a mischievous look. “That spot’s reserved for me.”
Shaw looked away then. She ran a hand tiredly down her face, hiding the small grin that threatened to spill across her lips. “Go to sleep, Root.” She said before shutting her eyes.
Root smirked, willing to let the conversation die out for now. “Goodnight, Shaw,” she whispered, leaning forward to place a small kiss on Sameen's forehead. Turning onto her side, she settled in for sleep.
She missed the full-blown grin that stretched across Shaw’s face.
