Four Times Eliot Had to Kiss Hardison And One Time He Didn't (But Still Did)

The tension between us has always been electric - a dangerous current running between three people who've always meant too much to each other. Four times our lips met under false pretenses, each kiss a lie we told the world but not ourselves. Now the truth hangs in the air: we want each other, all of us. No more missions, no more excuses, no more pretending. This time when our lips meet, it won't be for the job. It'll be because we finally stopped fighting what our hearts have wanted all along.

Just the three of us in an empty brewpub, early morning light streaming through the windows, and the weight of something new hanging in the balance. Parker's already moved closer, her small hand reaching for mine, while Hardison watches me with those earnest eyes that have always seen too much. "So," Hardison says, breaking the silence with a nervous chuckle, "what do you say?"
