Will straightened his tie for the nth time before rolling his shoulders. His suit felt too stiff, too tight, too stifling, but he knew that had nothing to do with his suit and everything to do with the nerves that were flipping his stomach in a nauseating fashion. He rubbed at his eyes with shaky hands before swiping his sweaty palms down his pants.

“You look fine,” Connor hissed from beside him as he placed a hand on his lower back.

Summary:

“I…” Rafael pauses for far too long, staring into Sonny’s eyes. He takes a breath, his own eyes widening before flicking off to the side distractedly. “I like the color of your walls,” he says in a rush, stepping away suddenly as if to study them. “Yes. I’ve never quite seen that shade of off-white before.”

“Uh.” Sonny narrows his eyes in confusion. “Thanks. It’s called Honey Milk, if I recall correctly.”

“Honey milk,” Rafael repeats in a whisper. “Well, I’ll certainly have to tell my mother about that one.”

Sonny frowns, thinking that Rafael may have gone slightly loopy from sleep deprivation. He knew they shouldn’t have gone for round two last night. Still, both of them seemed to consider it worth it, even now as Rafael is standing in Sonny’s kitchen pointing out perfectly normal paint colors.

If it weren’t for the lamp in the corner of the room, Nines’ LED would’ve taken over in the job of providing light to the living room. That same LED was stuck on a yellow spin cycle. 

Their day… was not the cleanest. 

Double homicide, both androids. Both had their optical units removed as well as their Thirium pumps. 

It was definitely one of the more gruesome crimes they’ve seen since they worked together. And based on how long Nines was silent and staring off into the distance, he could use a distraction. 

Gavin’s legs were already in his lap, but he was reclined back in the loveseat. The view from the armrest was depressing as shit. Nines was stuck in some sort of processing trance, he was acting like a statue. No sign of life other than the blinking rain coat yellow coming from his head.

With a sigh, Reed sat up and curled his arms around his neck. Looping around from the front he tried to catch Nines’ eyes, but to no avail. Ideally, he would like to see him responsive to something before they turned in for the night. Luckily, Gavin knew just the trick. He leaned in slowly eyes moving from Nines’ soft pink lips to those storm grey eyes and closed the gap. 

At first the kiss could’ve been considered chaste, but a moment later Gavin parted his lips with a sly tongue and–

There we go.

Nines at last responded. Now smiling into the kiss Gavin looked up to meet the most familiar shade of grey second to his own. With a light blue flicker of an LED and a slight crinkle to the edges of his eyes he closed them and melted into the kiss. 

Which was exponentially growing more and more heated. Not that Gavin was complaining. It was the most interaction he got out of him in over ten hours. One hand slid across his back and settled on his hip. Another came around to his jaw.

Then Nines tensed. 

His LED went back to yellow, the hand around his hip tightened, near bruising the freckled skin. The hand that was caressing his cheek slid towards the small of Gavin’s neck and led his head deeper into the kiss. Frankly the turn was too quick and too intense for nothing to be wrong so he broke it off. 

Nines’ eyes were back to that blank thousand yard stare as before, well, at least there was a bit of movement. It was like he was like he was looking for something in the thin air. Gavin dipped fully into his field of view and caught his eye. The next moment, Nines utilized his grip on the back of his neck and pulled him forward. 

He didn’t get a continuation of kiss as before, no. Instead Nines buried his head into his neck. LED now hidden away, the lamp light blanketed the entwined pair. Gavin pulled his arms away from his neck and trailed them down Nines’ back, almost like he was petting him. 

Whatever memories or thoughts that plagued his boyfriend’s mind Gavin promised himself to make sure to pull him out of it. He’d been in similar situations before, but he didn’t have anyone to help him out then.

A pleasure to have in class. I mean, most likely.

Don’t know if it’s the worst, but sparkling water is disgusting. Also Strawberry Fanta. Oh and I absolutely hate caramel. 

Thank you for your request, I hope you like it!

I.

Detective Carisi puts his palms on the table and lowered his deep voiceto a whisper so that his next words are nearly not hearable. The perpetrator infront of him as well as Liv and Barba behind the glass have to lean forward tohear him. Bastard, he stole that move from Barba. But Barba cannot help hissmile. Yes, Carisi could just as well stroke Barba’s ego. For that matter, Barbagets a great view of Carisi’s ass that is so well-fitted in these surprisinglynice suits. Yes, Rafael had also noticed that his hair style as well as hissuits had started to get much better since Carisi had shadowed him. Rafaelsighs and reminds himself to actually listen. There is an interrogation goingon here after all. Carisi had spent the first ten minutes of it to talk aboutbaseball. His dimples had just wrinkled in the right way to make Rafael’s heartjump and the perp to believe he could trust the detective. Sometimes, Barbawonders if the perps are this monumentally stupid or if Carisi is this smart. Carisishifts his weight. Ass still on display. Oh god, this gorgeous ass, Rafaelthinks just in the moment that the perp begins to fold. Carisi draws his longfingers through his gold and silver hair. The perp still thinks he can trustCarisi while the detective asks the a few pointed questions and gets a fullconfession. It is impressive. Carisi turns around and sends a victorious smirkthrough the glass window. Only one corner of his beautiful mouth lifts, but heis obviously pleased with himself. Carisi with arrogance, just when Rafaelthought he couldn’t possibly get any sexier.

Damn it!

Not that he is ever going to let his fantasies go any further, butRafael firmly reminds himself that this would be a bad idea. A very bad one!They work together, for Christ’s sake. All fantasies about cops andinterrogation rooms aside, any drama at the workplace would backfire into theirrelationship and any drama in their relationship would fire back into theirworkplace. Not to mention that they would put every case in hazard. Also, asidefrom the fact that they would put their non-heterosexual orientation out topublic display, about which he would not be allowed to complain as the world shouldbe fine with two men dating, only that the world is not and dealing with thisjust sucks. Aside from that what would it look like if he dated a younger,eye-candy of a detective? Moreover, what would it look like for Sonny’s youngcareer to date an older colleague?

Carisi closes the door behind him. His smile now even more triumphant. “Goodjob, Carisi”, Liv says. “I will spread the news to the vic.” And she was gone.

“Do you have enough for a conviction, counsellor?”, Carisi asks.

“Even you could prosecute this case.” While Rafael had actually meant tomake a compliment, he sees hurt in Carisi’s eyes. These bright, blue eyes.

Rafael pads Carisi’s arm. “I am really lucky to be able to exploit yourgrand interrogation skills to the fullest”, he says. “I have more than enoughto get a conviction.” Wait, is his hand on Carisi’s arm? Rafael feels thebiceps through the fabric of Carisi’s shirt. Carisi does not look as awkward asRafael feels, he smiles at him.

Damn it!

so I’m working slowly on a little one-shot set in my barisi baseball universe

"Why don't you try watching the game?" Olivia teased. The entire squad was sitting with him. It didn't really do much to temper the attention.

"Sonny's not playing," he responded. The Mets were on offense, meaning Sonny was sitting in the dugout or staying warm somewhere. But this game, Sonny didn't have to wait until the last few innings to play. He was starting pitcher. Rafael was incredibly proud. He just wished he could see it without all of the stares and whispers.

Olivia laughed. "You really don't like baseball, do you?"

"I like it fine."
