hi! for the prompt bingo can I request A & 9? thanks!
a9: philinda + college au (i decided to do a sequel to this!)
His car smells like oranges for days after he drives Melinda home.
He can’t get her out of his head anymore than he can get the smell out of his car- Bobbi finds him daydreaming more often than not, and his little girl loves to tease him about who’s got his head in the clouds. “Come on Daddy, you can tell me I won’t tell anyone I promise.”
“Barbara…” he warns, and her nose wrinkles in distaste at the use of her full name. “Did you still want to come watch me teach tonight? We’re talking about Lincoln.”
Bobbi nods, blonde pigtails bobbing as she beamed, scrambling off her chair. “I’ll go put my shoes on!”
“Don’t forget a book, Bob, so you don’t get bored- you can probably finish the Chamber of Secrets if you bring it,” he calls after her, receiving a muffled yell of confirmation as he went to gather his teaching things. “Don’t run, Bobbi, we’re not going to be late.”
Bobbi skids to a halt in the kitchen, sneakers squeaking on the linoleum and causing Phil to wince. “Sorry Daddy. I’m just excited!”
He smiles at his daughter, leaning down to kiss her on the top of the head as he slung his bag over his shoulder, grabbing his car keys. “I know, baby. Let’s go- you can even pick the radio station in Lola.”
After a drive to the tunes of Radio Disney and Bobbi’s off-tune singing, Phil holds a very excited Bobbi’s hand as they walk through the halls until they reach his classroom. A few students are milling around outside, and he lets them in, smiling at a few of them as he guides Bobbi to a seat next to his desk.
He’s setting up the lecture hall when he hears the familiar click of Melinda’s boots against the tile; he turns as she walks into the class, lips curling into a smile when she catches sight of Bobbi. Instead of heading directly for her seat in the front row she detours to say hello, tucking her hair behind her ear.
“You must be Bobbi,” she says, kneeling down until she’s level with his daughter, giving her a smile. “Hi- I’m Melinda.”
“Hi,” Bobbi says, smiling before she sticks her hand out. “Daddy says you should always shake hands with people you meet.”
Melinda laughs before she shakes Bobbi’s hand, eyes sparkling. “Well it’s very nice to meet you- your dad has told me wonderful things about you.”
Bobbi beams, cheeks turning pink, and she ducks her head as Melinda stands. Melinda gives him a smile, her own cheeks pink, and he smiles back, the center of his chest warm as she finds her seat, pulling out her notebook and customary black pen, the cap finding the corner of her mouth like it always did.
He takes another second to look at Melinda, dark hair covering her face for a moment as she bends to rifle through her bag, pulling out her textbook. He swallows, turning back towards the board, and he hears Bobbi giggle at him before she turns her attention to her book.
Maybe bringing his observant nine year old to the class where he taught the woman he had a crush on wasn’t the smartest plan.
I remember tears streaming down your face,I fell in love with the city.Angel of Mercy,I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive,Run away-ay with me.
Send me a ‘hi’ and I will put my playlist on shuffle, write down the first line of five songs and give it to you as a poem.
“This sneaking around is starting to get exhausting,” Phil says once Melinda’s let him into her room, the door shut and locked behind him. Melinda’s lips dipped as she came to stand next to him, fingers getting through the buttons of his shirt easily.
“It’s just for a little while,” she reminds him softly, hands on his chest as she looks up at him. She’s free of make up and the armor of her uniform; dressed in one of his old t-shirts and barefoot, she barely reaches his chin. “Daisy is still having a hard time being back, and I don’t want a change like this to send her running again.”
Melinda swallows, eyes shadowed in sadness. “I can’t lose her again, Phil.”
Phil wraps her in a hug, her head fitting under his chin as he rubs her back. “We won’t. I promise.”
“All I’m asking is a little more time, okay? Then we can tell everyone, I promise. It’s not that I’m unhappy, because I’m not. You make me so happy, Phil- I am so happy,” Melinda rushes to assure him, hands on his face, making sure he was looking at her. “I love you, Phil Coulson.”
“I love you too,” is his quiet, warm response; his eyes are soft as he looked at her, holding her against him as he rested his forehead against hers. “Let’s get some sleep.”
Melinda nodded, eyes closed, letting him pull her towards the bed, laughing when he tossed her onto the sheets.
As long as he had this, he’d wait for her forever.
“I’ve wanted to do that for so long,” Phil murmurs, his forehead pressed to hers; Melinda smiles, hands rubbing up his back and keeping him close as they shared air.
“Only took you three decades,” she replied softly, and Phil scoffed, thumb gentle as he brushed it over her cheek before sinking it into her hair, pulling her into kiss him again.
“I think we’re right where we’re supposed to be,” he answers when they part again, blue eyes warm and soft as they look at her with none of the barriers he’s had up for years. “So about those boundaries we set all those years ago.”
“Gone,” is Melinda’s simple reply. “They’ve been gone for awhile now- I think we were just too scared to make that first step over them.”
“Not scared anymore,” Phil commented, and Melinda beamed, pulling him into her again.
“Finally,” she whispered against his mouth before kissing him again, letting him tug her further into the room, falling together onto the couch.
phil asks melinda to be his girlfriend for his newest niece’s christening; maria has been ragging on him to find a girlfriend, and melinda has been his best friend forever- they can pretend for a weekend
phil did not realize how much seeing melinda holding a little baby and making faces and cooing and being so enthralled with a tiny human would effect him
julie coulson is Over The Moon that phil and melinda are dating, she’s had a bet going with her ladies from church as to how long it would take
there is a lot of bed sharing and waking up wrapped in each other’s arms and lots of teasing from melinda about how happy phil is to see her every morning
there is definitely some drunken kissing at some point, that leads to almost sex, which leads to a Feelings talk, which leads to REAL I LOVE YOU KISSING
