(Not beta'd. English is still not my first language. I don't believe in anon. Unashamedly inclusion of h/c. Probably a tiny bit more angst than you wanted, OP. I regret nothing, though.)
i.Their first kiss is preceded by gunfire and close calls and a really, really narrow escape. Ethan is fuming. Scratch that. Ethan is shaking with leftover adrenaline and so much fury he could probably take a whole town apart

"They’ve come a long way." This almost killed me because you make us remember of the movie, and the long way they'll walk together and ugh, it's perfect

ahh, started writing this before i realized another fill had been posted (which is already wonderful and now i feel like my fill will be inadequate but oh well here we go). not exactly what OP wanted, but i hope you like it all the same. if anyone figures out the connection between this fic and the title, well, bonus points for you.
one.
"Now, don't get panicky on me."
Ethan's shooting quick glances over his shoulder and Brandt has to fight the unbearable urge to turn, to seek out whatever threat is hovering behind him.
He mentally counts to three, lets out a slow breath and locks his trust into Ethan.
He has a what? on the tip of his tongue when Ethan presses in close, one hand settled comfortably on the nape of his neck

two.
The second time it happens, it's a similar situation as the first, the team in need of a quick distraction. Brandt thinks he knows what's coming.
He expects a soft, barely anything there kiss. He expects gentle hands. He expects to walk away unruffled.
This is not what he gets.
"Okay, she's spotted you, divert attention. Don't look like a threat.Jane's voice is mostly calm but there's an undercurrent beneath her tone that sounds strained through the com link. Brandt sees her moving through the crowd below, tracking the target across the room. She slips between the guests as easily as the silk of her dress slips between her fingers. Brandt's mind goes blank in terms of ideas
