Detective Henry Quinn

NSFW Gifs @dethenryquinn said: nsfw gif #30 - Ollie

As Henry had gone to adjust his coffee, Leif caught himself looking, memories of dreams he'd had involving Henry flashed through his mind, quickly brushing them off.

Henry smiled, "Well, that's quite a compliment, once again, you flatter me." It was nice to hear, but at the same time Henry couldn't imagine himself with someone like his chief. She was fine as a superior officer, but they had nothing in common but the job. She just wasn't Henry's type. Leif, however...

"Today? No, not today. I've been buried in my backlogged paperwork. This was supposed to be my day off, but I'm so far behind on the red tape details I had to come in and get started. We said hello, but that was all. We're not friendly, it's strictly professional." She certainly didn't confide anything personal to Henry.

Henry wasn't sure what to do with that information or why Leif was telling him this, but still, he sympathized. "I'm sorry to hear that, but that's really none of my business. I don't really get involved in my co-workers personal lives. The most I can do is give you some company right now, if that makes you feel better. I'm kind of a loner as people I work with tend to think I'm bit....spooky."

He wasn't going to offer any advice because he had no idea what the chief's and Leif's marriage was like. He did notice her seemingly ignoring him though, whenever Leif was in her office. She talked like he wasn't there. And Henry had seen her talking to another officer quite often lately. But as much as he loved gossip and tea, it wasn't his place to judge.

Henry took a slice of pizza. "Maybe she's overworking like me."

"Yeah, I saw her car was gone, bad timing huh?" He said with a small chuckle. Leif frowned, he hadn't eaten since the morning? The sun had already set, what did he mean he hadn't eaten? Just how much was his wife overworking her men? "Of course, the coffee's are black, hope that's okay," he figured if Henry wanted to add anything there'd be stuff in the station he could use. He ignored the insistence on using his first name, Leif felt he couldn't do that, it was too...intimate.

"I'm sure she'll be back soon, she doesn't leave her office unoccupied for too long." Henry actually detested black coffee, he was a sweets boy through and through, but that was ok, to each their own. They did have all the coffee condiments needed for Henry to adjust it to his taste with lots of cream and sugar. "Nothing a little sugar can't fix for me, thank you, I appreciate it." He smiled, and did just that at the coffee corner nearby.

Henry had not spoken about the Christmas party where Leif had been very tipsy and had told Henry he was 'beautiful' with an accompanied hand on his thigh. He enjoyed the attention as long as it lasted, but didn't take it seriously and assumed it was the alcohol. Leif seemed to be uncomfortable and embarrassed by it, so Henry didn't bring it up.

He was taking a sip of his coffee with the question caught him off guard. "Huh?" He said, not his usual eloquent self at all, "I'm sorry? What do you mean? Only in her office for work." He respected his boss, but they weren't friends, and certainly not whatever Leif was thinking.

Leif knew he shouldn't like it when his wife was too busy to be home with him, but it meant less arguments, of course in public they kept up appearances. She was at the station late but Leif couldn't sleep, so he decided to be a good husband and bring her something to eat and drink. Though his timing worked out that she had left around five minutes before he arrived, walking into the station with a sigh, he'd seen that he care wasn't there when he pulled up, but he was already here so he figured he'd go in and share with someone else, perhaps Henry was there.

Henry was lost in the paperwork on his desk. It seemed like a never-ending sea of reports and casefiles. Admittedly, this was his least favourite part of the job, but every career had it's faults. He'd much rather be out in the field on even on the beat, instead of hole-punching and reading until he went cross-eyed.

He looked up when he heard his name, or at least his work name, and smiled when he saw Leif. "Hi, this is nice surprise. You just missed your wife though." Henry hadn't known where the chief went, but he assumed it was some work-related situation. "Hungry? I'm starving, I've not eaten since this morning." Pizza was a god-send right now, Leif always had been kind to him. "You're joining me, I hope? And please, call me Henry."

"You don't gotta say anything to that, Henry. Just know that I mean it." Just about anything Josh said could have easily been interpreted as sarcasm or just plain insincere, but there was a look in his eyes in that moment which told the truth. He knew that in the past, he'd fucked things up. Potentially good things, like Henry. He could have had something special, something great. Henry loved him, and he had known it, but instead of letting that be a drive for him to be better, he simply let it feed his ego and he abused that. Could he say that he regretted it entirely? Of course not. He looked back fondly at many of the things he did in his youth, of the guys and girls he had fucked around with. But following his scare, he needed to realign his focus and get back on track somehow. Maybe being back there with Henry was a way of making some kind of amends.

He didn't dwell on the next time part, because honestly, he didn't think Henry would want there to be a next time, so instead, he moved to sit down at the table with a small smile.

Henry knew that look from Josh, he'd seen it many times back in college. It was a sort of doe-eyed sadness, one that the other man seemed to rarely let show. Henry could appreciate that, some honesty for once. Of course this only made their reunion bittersweet, because they could have used that years ago, instead of all this wasted time. They could have had a life together. "Everything happens for a reason," Henry said, mostly believing that was true, "But it doesn't have to be a good or happy reason." Maybe they had needed the time apart to grow as people, and to be honest, so Josh could grow up. Whether he had, remained to be seen.

They ate for a little while in what Henry could only describe as an awkward silence. The tinny sound of cutlery filled the space, a clock ticked in the kitchen, as Henry took a swallow of beer, thinking on what to say.

When Josh spoke next, Henry was surprised.

"That's like the third time you've said how good I look. I appreciate the compliments, but are you angling to butter me up for something? Flattery won't get you as far as it used to." That maybe sounded a little more harsh than Henry intended, he was just stating a fact, and again that mistrust of his former roommate had snuck in. Henry had been hurt by Josh, so he was guarded.

"Well, that's nice of you to say. I suppose I am happy, most of the time. I keep myself buried in work." Because otherwise it's too lonely, "You look great too, you look well, healthy. I wish I knew more about where you've been and why you're here though. Or we can just eat."
