so, like, @holisticchristmas got this stuck in my brain, so obviously I had to write it?

Dirk rambled on about the case they just wrapped up with very Dirk-like excitement, which included a lot of hand gestures. Todd rolled his eyes affectionately. When had Dirk’s ramblings gone from annoying to adorable? They made their way up the stairs towards Todd’s apartment and Dirk basically bounced up the last steps. “Wasn’t it fantastic, Todd?” He exclaimed. Todd couldn’t help but smile as he came to a stop in front of his apartment door. He turned towards Dirk to respond with a sarcastic comment, but got distracted by the bright smile on Dirk’s face. Then Todd decided that they’d been dancing around this for long enough. For once, Todd decided to push back the doubts in his mind and go for what he really wanted. “Todd?” Dirk asked, confused about Todd’s thoughtful expression. Todd reached up to grab the lapels of Dirk’s bright yellow jacket and pulled his face closer for a soft kiss. Dirk froze in shock. Todd felt a prickle of regret at the back of his mind - had he totally fucked up? And then Dirk recovered. He placed his hands on both sides of Todd’s head and moved his lips against Todd’s. Todd smiled into the kiss and moved his hands to rest on Dirk’s shoulders. Dirk had gone with the soft and slow kiss Todd had initiated, but he wanted more. He tightened his grip on Todd’s face and lunged in to press himself as close to Todd as possible. This took Todd off guard. Really off guard. As Dirk threw himself at him, Todd took a step back, trying to keep their balance, but placed his foot wrong and slipped. Todd tried to grab onto Dirk’s shoulders to keep himself upright, only to bring Dirk down with him. And then they were falling. Todd didn’t have time to realize what was happening until he was laying on the floor of the hallway of his apartment building with the lanky Brit fully on top of him. “Uhhh.” Dirk groaned and touched his forehead that had painfully bumped Todd’s. “What the hell just happened?” Todd asked, rubbing the back of his head which had hit the floor with the force of the fall and Dirk on top of him. “I’m not quite sure.” Dirk replied. “I do have a habit of getting overly excited.” Todd stared at Dirk for a moment. And then burst out laughing. “Todd!” Dirk exclaimed, blushing. “Sorry, I just… You just attacked me!” Todd laughed even harder. Dirk slapped Todd’s chest under his. Then he lowered his forehead to touch Todd’s. “Shut up.” He said but had to fight off a smile himself. Todd’s chest kept bouncing with laughter under Dirk’s. Eventually Dirk joined him. Soon both of their laughters echoed in the hallway. Suddenly the moment was interrupted by Amanda’s voice coming from above them. “What the fuck are you guys doing?”
