Joseph was a bit nervous transfering to a new station. It’s just like arriving at a new school and Joseph was the new detective at the police station. Having a new partner is the main point of his nervous breakdown. He was pacing back and forth in his bedroom he was thinking; What if I make a bad first impression? What if I’m not as prestige as him? Just stupid thoughts ran through his head. He stopped pacing around and headed towards the front door and as he was going to open the door, “Just be yourself..” he said letting a sigh go. He grabbed his coat and left to the station.

As he was driving, 10 minutes out from reaching the station. The thoughts came back, they kept coming. He felt drips of sweat coming down. Nevertheless, he arrived at the station, he sat in his car for a bit thinking of what he’s going to say to his new partner. Joesph took one last sigh and got out of his car and grabbed a box filled with his ownings that will be placed on his desk. When he walked in he was greeted by many officers, Joseph made his way into the Chiefs’ office.

"Good morning, Joseph. And welcome!" She said with delight as she reached out her hand to greet Joseph.

"Good morning Chief, pleasure to be here!" Joseph said with nervousness.

"Lets go meet your new partner and office"

She made her way from behind her desk to her office door, Joseph scurried over to the door and held it open, she smiled and nodded in her way of saying thanks. They made their way to Josephs’ new office. 

"Sebastian, meet your new partner Joseph Oda. Joseph this is Sebastian Castellanos."

"Pleasure to meet you, sir." Sebastian looked at him with a smile and chuckled as he stood up from his chair and he held out his hand. 

"Pleasures all mine, please call me Seb."

"Okay, Seb it is!" Joseph said nervously.

"You two have a great day!" The chief said with pleasure and left the room.

Joseph saw an open desk. “So, I’m guessing this is my desk?” Sebastian look at him. “Thats the only desk that’s here, right?” Sebastian said with a smirk on his face. “Oh, right” Joseph said with apprehensiveness. Joseph place his things on his desk, he slowly started to decorate his desk.

"When was this taken?" Sebastian stood up and spoke with curiosity "Oh, yeah thats me when I graduated from the Police Academy." Joseph picked up the picture and looked at it and slightly smiled.

"When did Joseph graduate from the police academy?"

"About three years ago." 

"You must be a pretty damn good detective, then I shouldn’t be worried." Sebastian made direct eye contact at Joseph.

"We need a new nickname for you, your name seems to casual…." Sebastian put in some thought and finally came up with a nickname, "Has anyone called you Jojo?" Joseph looked at him werid, "No?" He said. Sebastian lifted his arms and put both if them behind his head and his feet on Jojos’ desk, "I’ll be the first then.." Joseph went back to what he was doing. 

He let those thoughts slowly drift away and continued on the situation with deciding on his nickname. Joseph laughed as he thought about it and adjusted his glasses. “Jojo, it is then” and smiles, as he’s continuing to decorate his desk. Sebatian took time off to look at Joseph decorate his desk, asking Who, what, when, where questions. Joseph found it very obnoxious, Sebastian asking questions.

"So, I see you have no sense of what personal space is, or do you just like asking ALOT of questions?" Joseph spoke pleasantly.

"I’m just curious about you Jojo, calm down" Sebatian raising his palms up.

"Enough about me, tell me about you, Seb?" Joseph said stopping to look at Sebatian. "We’ll save this ‘get to know you’ session for later"

"Alright, Get back to what whatever you were doing. And stop distracting me." Sebatian turning around to complete his paperwork. Both of them hardly said a word to each other its quiet and peaceful. Hours passed by and it was time to head home, Joseph stood up and grabbed his coat, Sebastian did the same thing. It was 10:00 at night, Joseph couldn’t wait to get some sleep. Joseph headed down the hallway to the elevator, walked in and heard some one running down the hallway and stopped the doors from closing. 

"Whew, made it! Thanks for holding the door, very polite of you." He said breathlessly. "Sorry, I thought you would be taking a bit longer, honestly" He replied apologetically.

The ride down was quiet but, for Joseph that was perfectly fine with him. He always thought conversations with Sebastian always go down in failure. Half way until they hit ground floor, Sebastian broke the silence.

"Where’s home for you, Jojo? Sebastian said looking at Joseph, but he didn’t make eye contact. "Um.. Red leaf plaza, Apartment 24B" That’s an usually question coming from Seb, Joseph thought. "Oh shit, we live like right down the hallway from each other, this must be fate calling Jojo" Sebatian said patting Josephs shoulder.They finally arrived on ground floor, they walked out and headed outside. 

 ”I’ll race you home!” Joseph said running toward his car and throwing his stuff in backseat. Sebastian ran toward his, Joseph already turning his car on and reversing. Sebastian already past him. Joseph didn’t know he was a skilled driver. They repeatedly passed each other, Sebastian almost getting pulled over. Joesph already made it back first and then Sebastian. 

"Joseph is the winner! Ahh" He chanted, making unrealistic crowd chants.

"Oh, save it Joseph! I’ll get you next time!" He pushes Joseph lightly. Sebastian stood in one place and looked up in sky. "Are you coming inside?"

"No, I’ll see you tomorrow, alright?" Joseph stayed a bit to see Sebastian pull out a pack of cigarettes and he lit one up and let a cloud of smoke go. 

"Well, goodnight Seb!" Joseph shouted.
