💕 (ford and nora)

still accepting this meme!

They hadn’t argued in exactly thirty-four days, sixteen hours, and fifty-seven minutes but Nora can feel a tension headache coming on based on the way he’s looking at her. She’s tried. Honestly she has. She’s been careful with her words and with her assumptions. She’s even asked for his opinion more and taken a step back when she caught herself being too overbearing. 

Still, his look makes her think she must have done something to upset him. At times, she feels like he’ll always have her on her toes. She’s quite surprised when she instead finds herself crowded against the wall with his lips pressing against hers. Surprised and not at all displeased. 

She thinks she gets him back just a little when she returns his kiss if the way his grip tightens ever so slightly is any indication. Nora quickly stops keeping tally after that. 

When they pull away, she genuinely smiles up at him for what must be the first time.

“This is true. They do love their flowers. I think they make them work, though. They always look very cute,” he said, smiling. They were nice women and he always enjoyed their visits to the diner. “Actually… You kind of do? It looks good.” Better than he would have guessed, though he knew that would be a rude thing to say. He laughed at her comment. “I’m sure it is. But I’m willing to get this one if you get that one?”

“True, they do. That doesn’t mean it’ll work for everyone, though,” she joked. This man was so sweet and genuine she struggled to understand why the organization was so interested in him. It just wasn’t adding up. Nora had never questioned her orders before, but she was starting to with this case. She gave him a questioning look. “Are you sure? I don’t actually look terrible and you’re telling me I look good for the laughs, right?” She shrugged. No matter his answer, it was probably a silly hat. She found herself laughing at the suggestion. “Now I know you’re lying, but alright. Let’s do this.”

Ford couldn’t help but smile when Nora laughed. He didn’t think he’d ever heard her laugh as long as he’d been working here, but he had to admit it was nice to see her relax a little. Which was a weird thought and one that he was more than happy to ignore because they’d been spending a lot of time together at work, obviously he was going to care about her. It was just human. He looked down at her compliment, running his hand up the back of his head. “Oh, no, it’s not all me. It’s a team thing,” he replied, feeling oddly embarrassed by her compliment. He chuckled at her teasing. “I’m feeling fine. I think it’s just a day of firsts for both of us,” he replied easily. He nodded and grabbed his keys. “Walking sounds good. It’s beautiful out today. After you,” he said, motioning towards the door.

She shook her head, feeling suddenly very fond of the man that was both an inspiration and a giant pain in her ass. The strings she had to pull to get him on her team were now well worth it. He’d already gone beyond expectation and Nora felt more than a little smug about it. “You’re right, the team plays a part,” Nora agreed before biting her lip and looking down. “But don’t sell yourself short, Ford. I’m both impressed and proud of your dedication. You deserved the compliment and I meant it,” she told him kindly with a small smile. “Ah, that must be it. Or, maybe we’re both coming down with something. Only time will tell.” Nora grinned when he agreed. “Excellent. Sometimes it's nice to just be outside for a while. It can get so stuffy inside, it’s nice to enjoy the fresh air.”

Genny nodded at him with a soft smile. “Exactly! So we both deserve a week off without a care in the world,” she responded. Even when there wasn’t a major event that needed planning, there were always plenty of smaller ones and charity work to fill her time. She chuckled at his teasing, shaking her head fondly. “Just Genevieve Richards’ politician boyfriend? That doesn’t sound very grateful. You better watch it or maybe I’ll move on to a Senator,” she teased back, giving his hand a gentle squeeze so he’d know she was kidding.  Really, James was the one who deserved all the recognition. The work he did was much, much more important. “Just write a speech for me and I’m there, darling. Those old men won’t even know what hit ‘em,” she played along, taking a sip of her drink. 

He grinned at her enthusiasm. He never thought anyone would be able to pull him away from work, but then he met Genny, and it seemed to matter less. Well, not less. Other things just mattered more and gave him new perspectives on his work. “A week off with you sounds like a dream. I can’t wait to make it a reality,” he told her honestly. He laughed at her teasing. “I’m sorry, the Genevieve Richards definitely deserved to be said with more reverence and awe as befitting being lucky enough to be your boyfriend. It won’t happen again, I promise,” he joked. His grin stretched across his face and he shook his head to stop a laugh. ��I can’t even imagine how quickly you’d whip them all into shape. They’d never see it coming and they’d be grateful to you for it. Maybe the world isn’t ready for that just yet.”

He let out a sigh, setting the papers down on the desk. Maybe she had a point, the last few minutes had just been him staring at the pages, willing them to speak to him or something. He didn’t want to admit that she was right and instead just mumbled out a response about just wanting a few more minutes and he’d be leaving soon. He was surprised at her next comment and he couldn’t keep his expression blank. “A drink? Man, that’s almost casual. You sure you’re feeling alright, Nora?” he asked, a smirk playing at his lips. “Either way, sure, lunch sounds good. And you’re probably right, I might need to look at this again with fresh eyes to find that last missing piece,” he said, getting up from his seat and tugging on his jacket. “You have a place in mind?” 

She looked up at his mumbled words, fighting back a smile. Such a stubborn man, he was. She was sure if he didn’t come to lunch, he’d spend at least another hour here staring at those papers to try and find the connections that were evading him. At his smirk, she laughed a little. Ford was always drawing reactions from her she didn’t expect. It was as frustrating as it was refreshing. “Yes, I am. Actually, we’re doing better than I had hoped, so I’m feeling like celebrating. And who better to celebrate with than the man making it all possible?” she asked. “Did you just acknowledge that I might be right? Perhaps you’re sick, Ford,” she teased. “I do, actually. My favorite place actually. It’s not too far. I thought we could walk?”

“I thought flowers were in, but maybe I shouldn’t get fashion advice from the little old ladies who come into the diner,” he answered, plopping the hat back onto the rack and swapping it with the one she was offering. His eyes roamed over the selection before he found an overly large and brightly colored hat and holding it out for her. “I think this one’s your color. How’s the new one look on me?”

“I’m fairly certain florals are always in when it comes to little old ladies offering fashion advice to waiters in diners,” she teased gently. She couldn’t help but laugh genuinely at the sight of him. Nora accepted the hat goodnaturedly, placing it on her head. “I do rather like the color if I’m honest,” she told him, posing in the hat. “Do I make it work?” she asked. “You look amazing in that hat by the way. It’s quite the look on you.”

Genny smiled brightly when she caught the look on his face, the excitement obvious in his eyes. “I’m sure. A week isn’t too long. I would love to spend a week just us, James. After all, how often do either of get a chance to relax?” she asked, excited for vacation now. She smiled softly when she felt his fingers brush across her cheek and the smile softened still at the sweet words. She took his hand in hers again and pressed a kiss to the back of his hand. “Well, you won’t have to. I am always going to support you,” she promised. She truly believed in James and his vision for the future and she would do whatever she could to support that. She chuckled at his reaction and shook her head. “No, I’ve used my assertive voice and threatened to blacklist several people who would not want that, so I think everything will sort itself out any day now.”

He laughed at that and shook his head. “So rarely I couldn’t even give you a recent example,” he sighed, though he smiled still. Even though there were plenty of breaks for work, that time was filled with other important work. His last vacation must have been years ago. He nodded at her, feeling warm all over because she believed in him. It was empowering to know he had her on his side no matter what. “And I’m always going to support you. After all, I’m just Genevieve Richards’ politician boyfriend. You’re the real star of this relationship,” he teased her. He was convinced it was true, though. She was so highly regarded for her work and it was so well deserved. “Ahh, that voice. I should have you come speak on the floor. Things might get done then. You have a superpower, my love.”

Ford was drained from the week. It had been long, but a lot had gotten done and it was more than worth being a little tired. Still, he felt like there was something more he could do, that he was so close to figuring out their next step but he was missing something. So even though Nora said they could leave early, he was still looking over all the intel, trying to find the missing link and crack this open all the way. He looked up, surprised to hear her voice. “No, no. I’ll be leaving in few minutes, I just wanted to check things over one more time while everything is still fresh, you know?” 

She looked down to hide a smile, playing it off as digging through her bag. “You’ve done well this week Ford. Perhaps taking some time away from this will help make things clearer,” she suggested, looking over at him. She paused, noting how serious he seemed and shook her head lightly. Though they often butted heads about the mission, Nora never once doubted that Ford was the most dedicated member of her team. This was how he earned his freedom, but Nora suspected it was more than that. He wanted to prove something. “Come along, Mr. Taylor. I believe I owe you a drink and some lunch for your work this week. All of this will be waiting for you when we’re done.”

@strangeperfectionss

They’d had a long week and somehow managed to make some progress, thanks in no small part to Ford and his knowledge. Things had gone radio silent and Nora wasn’t about to push their luck and risk how far they’d gotten. She’d given the team the day off and figured they’d deserved it. As Nora was making her way out of headquarters, she slowed down as she passed a familiar figure slumped in a chair. “Mr. Taylor, I had assumed you’d be the first one out of the building. You’re not planning to spend your time off here, are you?”

“Oh, it can. Never underestimate my ability to be a walking disaster. My resume is… kind of a nightmare.” Holding down a job was a challenge for him, even when he was trying not to make a mess of things. “But hopefully we’ll just… balance each other out and we can have a normal outing.” Her action surprised him, but he managed to offer a smile in return, heading into the hat shop. He reached for the most ridiculous hat nearby, some monstrosity with massive fake flowers on it, one that was almost but not quite acceptable to wear in public, and dropped it onto his head. “How’s it look? Am I pulling it off?”

Nora smiled sympathetically. She knew all about his inability to hold a job but it was interesting that he was so upfront about it. “I think we’ll definitely balance each other out,” Nora decided, giving him a grin. She followed him in and started looking around, turning only when she heard him speak. She tried not to but laughed at how ridiculous it looked. “I don’t think it suits you,” she told him. “Almost, but not quite. Perhaps something a little... less floral?” she asked teasingly, finding an equally terrible hat and giving it to him. “Try this.”
