"How's the new job?"

"It's...it's good. I really like my partners, they're nice." you smiled to yourself as you pressed the phone to your ear with your shoulder. You were getting ready to leave the station.

"That's great," the other end is silent and you can hear her take a breath, you and her had been friends for as long as you can remember and you knew something was up, "I..miss you." she admitted

"I know. I miss you too, you're the only family I have...sucks not having you here but this job is good for me." you sighed

"I know.." it fell silent again

"How's your family by the way?" you asked, you loved how happy she'd get when she'd talk about her parents...you used to get very jealous and you still do from time to time, but she's your best friend you should be happy she has a family.

"Oh they're fine. Crazy like always, they miss you probably more than I do...if that's possible." she quietly chuckles

"Tell them I miss them too." you quietly laughed as you thought about them, how they've always been so kind and nice to you. The laughs you'd all share, how ridiculously cool they were with you always crashing at their place for sleepovers. The way they treated you like you were part of their family.

"So...any cute guys in your station?" she teases

"That's not what I'm here for!" you nervously laughed

"That doesn't answer my question." she sing songed as she persisted; you could hear the smile on her face

"Well...one of my partners is pretty...handsome and nice," you mumble; feeling your stomach tingle upon mentioning him. You began to pack your things and get ready to leave the station. You laughed to yourself, "We sound like middle schoolers. This is dumb." you joked

"Shutup! We're having fun aren't we?" she laughed

"I guess so," you looked up to see Detective Reed make eye contact before he began approaching you, "I-I gotta go actually, I love you."

"Love you too! You better call me back soon or I'll fly out and fight you." she laughs and you laugh

"Okay." you hang up and put your phone in your pocket before slipping on your jacket.

"Hey, uh... (Y/L/N)?"

"Yes ,Detective Reed?" you shut off your terminal before actually giving him your attention

"I'd like to apologize with maybe a few drinks..? I'm sorry about," he sighed and crossed his arms, "My behavior...I just don't want you to think that I'm an asshole."

"I--" your phone rang before you could decide on what to even say;holding up your hand to gesture him to wait, you answer, "Hello?"

"(Y/N)? It's me Connor."

you quietly laughed because it was quite obvious from the way he talks, "I could tell...what's up?"

"I need your help with something important, if it's not a problem I need you here as soon as you're able. I'll transfer Hank's address to you."

The seriousness in his voice caused you to grow worried. Even though he always sounded that way, he made it seem urgent,
"What's wrong?! I'll be there right away!" you quickly ended the call and looked up at Gavin. You look at him apologetically.

"Seems important.." he sounds pretty upset that you run off again

"Listen, I...I'd love to hear you out over a drink. I'm sure you're nice but I'm sorry, I have to go."

he nods in understanding to you, you quickly rush out the station and hail a taxi.



You basically dart to the door once you're out of you taxi, you frantically knock. Connor made it seem like something urgent. He answered the door fairly calm. It was weird tho, seeing him in somewhat casual attire. A plain shirt and jeans seemed weird on Connor, you kind of assumed he just wore his suit all the time....weird. It was also a surprise that his hair wasn't as neat either,his hair hung over his forehead a bit and if it wasn't for his LED you'd swear he was human.

"Oh great you're here, come in (Y/N)." He began to walk back inside the house

you followed in shutting the door behind yourself,
"What was the something important you mentioned?" your eyes still fixated on him, as you searched and scanned his body..still quite take aback from how different he looked.

"Hank left me here with Sumo to bathe him, but I need some help. "

you quietly laughed,
"That's all..?"

"Yes, what's so funny?" he was very serious

you smiled and shook your head,
"Nothing, I'll help you."

He called for Sumo, you watched as the door strutted into the room from the kitchen. You leaned down to gesture him over, he came with no hesitation and sniffed before preceeding to lick your cheek. You laughed and wiped the dog drool off your cheek as you stood and looked to Connor.

"He likes you." Connor softly smiled

You smiled and gesture for him to lead you to the bathroom, he scooped the huge dog in his arms with no trouble of course and left the living room into a hallway. You opened the door for him and entered. You made your way to the bathtub and began to run the water, putting your hand under the faucet to make sure it's a good temperature,
"Okay, put him in. I'll find something to wash him with." you plugged the drain and watched as he carried Sumo to the bath before going to the sink cabinet. Searching for some sort of pet shampoo, before putting your eyes back on Connor as he pets Sumo. You can see how affectionate he is to the dog, it's sweet. You finally find something and pour it into the tub to make bubbles. You kneel down next to Connor as he holds a scrubbing brush out to you, you take it and give him a gentle smile.

"Thank you, I appreciate you helping me." he spoke

You lather the brush and begin to scrub Sumo's fur. He actually doesn't seem to mind the bathing, he pants and stares at Connor and let's you do your thing,

"What a goodboy!" you rub behind his ear playfully, "My sister's dog hates baths. I thought all dogs did honestly.."

"Sumo is different, nothing really bothers him;at least from what I've seen."

"Aw, he seems really sweet."

"Yes, he is. He loves affection too." He smiles to himself as he looks at the dog

You finish and rinse him off,
"I'll go get a towel." Connor says as he stands and leaves briefly, handing the towel to you once he returns. You coax Sumo out the bath, instead of you getting to attempt drying him he shakes water everywhere. You shriek , as you become soaked in water and the dog rushes out the room. You look down at your wet clothes and with sigh,
"Good enough.."

"I'm very sorry about that (Y/N), I'll get you some clothes." Connor calmly apologizes

"N-no, you dont have to--" before you can protest he's gone. You walk into the living room and wait for him to bring you a change of clothes. He brought you a spare shirt.

"Here...let me help you." He began to lift the shirt you were wearing

"Connor! Sto--" you quickly became flustered and before you knew it the shirt was over your head;blocking your view

"Jesus fucking Christ! Connor, what the hell?!" You hear Hank erupt
You immediately feel every ounce of you fill with embarrassment....
