"You're serious?" you asked for what felt like the millionth time.

Walter didn't even look up from the radio he was dismantling. "Totally serious. Scorpion's taking a day off," he said flatly.

That was unheard of. You'd only been dating Walter a month, but you'd gotten the impression that he never took days off. The Scorpion team was always taking up space in the garage it seemed. Happy was always being as loud as possible working on a vehicle, Toby and Sly were arguing, it just never ended. But today would be quiet.

Just you and Walter.

You ran back upstairs to the loft to grab your own stuff. Nothing you worked on was nearly as impressive as what your genius boyfriend made, but that didn't matter. Even when Walter would off-handedly comment about how 'embroidery takes far too long' or 'I can make something that could do that task in two minutes', you could see the fondness in his eyes.

And there you two sat. Opposite ends of the table. Opposite projects. But you were together.
