She didn’t mean to say it. It wasn’t her place. He was an adult and could make his own decisions. And she certainly had no claim to him. So when Lucy opened her mouth, she had meant to ask what he wanted for lunch. But instead she found herself asking that question. And maybe it wouldn’t have been a weird thing- she always tried to get Tim to open up about his personal life. But her tone was all wrong. Even to her own ears she sounded…upset. Frustrated, bordering on hurt. And by the look Tim was giving her, he had heard it, too.

Chenford + "She... She left."

I have not forgotten about all my lovely asks. I'm working on all of them as fast as I can! Anyway, here you go Anon. Sorry this took me so long. It’s a mix of angst and fluff, so I hope you like it.

The One Where Tim Gets A Clue

~*~*~

“We still on for later?”

Lucy looked up from her phone and smiled as Tim stopped beside her. “Yup! It’s been way too long since we played and I’m in the mood to kick your ass.” Tim shot her an unimpressed look and scoffed, but Lucy didn’t give him a chance to say whatever cocky thing she knew he was coming up with in his head. She was the best shot in Mid-Wilshire. She could- and would- take him in paintball. “Just let me change out and I’ll be ready.”

“Alright but hurry up. I don’t want to have to-“

“Tim!”

They both turned at the sound of his name being called. Stepping into the station, bright smile on her face, was Ashley. Lucy glanced over at her sergeant briefly, taking note of the smile that crossed his face. It was…happy. Which made sense since Ashley was his girlfriend and he obviously would be happy to see her. But still… “I- I’ll be back in a minute,” Lucy murmured, not waiting for a response before darting off to the locker room.

For The Win

For an Anon ask. I went with fluff instead of angst. It was...very strange.

Lucy Chen made it a point to notice the things that made Tim Bradford annoyed.

At first it had been a pseudo-survival instinct. After all, he had held her career in his hands for thirteen months. And for the first half he had been less than welcoming or supportive. But now, after everything they'd been through together, it was just another way to connect with him. So when Tim had gotten quiet after their third call of the day, Lucy knew he was upset. And since the only thing that had happened outside of the usual post-accident protocol was that Lucy had known the victim from university, she was willing to guess Tim hadn't appreciated the friendliness between her and Shane.

There had been an underlying tension between Lucy and Tim for a while now. And if she were brutally honest, she'd have to admit that it had started after Tim’s virus scare. It hadn't been the first time they were vulnerable with each other, but maybe it had been the first time that the vulnerability had been mutual. They had both been scared and they had both stopped pretending they weren’t. And now, vulnerability was almost the norm for them. No matter how much Tim tried to deny it.
