Deeks hated this feeling. He hated not feeling well. Most of the time he tried not to complain but today had just been too hard, and a long day. He probably shouldn’t have gone to work but he had felt fine, or just a bit tired but around lunch he had a headache, and his body hurt.  He hadn’t expected to see Maya already, he was almost sure that she still was supposed to be on her shift. “Yeah,” he mumbled, “thanks,” he said as he pushed himself up in a sitting position. “You know if I had energy right now,” he began, “I’d totally make a joke about how you’re just here because you wanna play doctor.” He let out a breath and pushed some hair away from his face, “but I’m not.” He knew that there was many more jokes he could make but they had to wait until he felt better. “So what kind of soup did you get? Chicken noodle right?”

camera in hand, the special agent snapped a couple more photos of the now fire-free house that she was stood in. “you think this was deliberate?” she asked maya, head turning to look over her shoulder. “looks pretty bad for someone who might have just left their bacon unattended for a minute.” the house was almost a shell of what it once would have been – she might not be a fire expert, but even bea would have said it was arson.

      Mae KNOWS what it feels like to have a long day, and a horrible one too, in fact she’s had more than she would have liked to, but it’s part of the job, a job she loves, even when it has its dark sides.

     She knows the other woman is much the SAME, but she can’t blame her for wanting some company. Sometimes it’s hard, watching all of her colleagues go home to their loved ones, when the only thing waiting for her is take out and Netflix. 

     “Of course.” She offers a soft smile, hand coming to rest of top of Maya’s. “We can order some food? Watch something silly on tv?” You don’t have to talk about it if you don’t WANT to. Her words seem to convey.

Since they got married and all-around pandemic, Maya and Carina spent most of their time together, when they weren’t working. So when the restrictions were loosened and Carina got a chance to be part of the medical conference in LA, she agreed immediately. Unfortunately, Maya couldn’t come with her. 

The conference was a breath of fresh air, a chance to see other specialists, a chance to exchange their pandemic experiences. In all, it was a great time. Five days later she impatiently waited for her plane home, to Maya. It didn’t matter she talked to her wife every day. She still missed her very much and she had never slept well without Maya snuggling next to her. 

[ text: carina → maya ] I’m about to board the plane. Can’t wait to see you bambina. Ti amo molto.

there was a tiredness sitting deep within erin, but yet sleep failed her. it had done for the past few nights, the case she was weighing heavy on her. no matter which way she and her team seemed to turn, they always wound up with more questions than answers. she felt like a sitting duck, like she was being forced to run rings around chicago by someone determined to get away with it, determined to win. but erin had never liked losing. 

her back sinking into her couch, her hand reached for her phone. recent conversations with a fellow first responder had helped before, and the detective figured she ought to at least take her up on her offer to talk at least once.
