Alarm für Cobra 11, S21E01 Auf Leben und Tod (2007).

I couldn't chose what to gif first, so I went with the immortal german tv show, Cobra 11, and this scene popped into my mind first.

Semir (short guy) is an older detective at the Highway Police. Almost all of his previous partners were killed by criminals, so his past is filled with tragedies and losses.

This episode is a good one; Semir got his partner four episodes ago, a green eared newbie who's as reckless as all newbies. The episode starts exciting: Ben goes to a jewelry shop to get his broken watch fixed and he gets himself into a hostage situation - Semir, who was waiting for him outside sees his partner getting taken hostage with a pistol at his neck, and you can imagine how he felt at that moment. The robbers used Ben as a shield to get away - successfully.

Andre had just finished pulling on his jacket, keys in hand, when Semir drifted over to him.

A hand slid up André’s chest, fingers resting lightly. Then Semir tilted forward and pressed a soft kiss right under his jaw, lips warm from the heat of the station.

Andre paused mid-motion, brows lifting faintly as he glanced back at the people walking by and then down at the smaller man.

Semir didn’t seem to notice at first. He went to grab his own jacket, moving easily — until he caught the subtle amusement curling at the edge of Andre’s mouth.

He paused, caught mid-motion, and turned back.

“… What?” he asked, visibly puzzled, but smiling too.

Andre slid his hands into his pockets, leaning back slightly as he watched him. "You don’t usually do that."

“Do what?” Semir asked, though his eyes had a glint that suggested he wasn’t as clueless as he pretended.

Andre smirked, tipping his head toward him lazily. “You know what I mean.”

Semir's eyes momentarily drifted to Bonrath looking in their direction before he noticed Semir's eyes on him and turned his full attention to the paperwork in front of him. Semir looked back at Andre, and for a moment, there was something tentative in his expression. A flicker of old nerves.

Before he could go back to stressing out, Andre took him by the chin and kissed him firmly on the lips, he could feel his partner stiffen, but it didn't last long and Semir's mouth moved against his, kissing back in a way that told Andre he was alright with this.

By the time Andre eased away, Semir’s eyes had fluttered open slowly, dazed and warm, his mouth still faintly parted from the kiss.

“Yeah, well, don't get used to it; I'm not planning to make a habit out of this,” Semir muttered, but the words came out soft, no real heat behind them.

Andre’s mouth curved lazily as he let go of his chin, letting his fingers trail briefly over Semir’s jaw before dropping his hand back to his side.

“You're cute.”
