So, barsonaddict and I discussed our love for the character Rita Calhoun some time ago and it kinda occurred to us that Rita and Fin would be an interesting match! (And hell, I'm a sucker for rare pairs nobody else seems to ship, so here we are^^)

A part of my heart will always beat for my favourite bromance Munch/Fin, but I really like those two together :)

I'm really interested in hearing what you think about this and if you'd like to read more about them!


Glances

"Please give us a minute, Counselor, your client is still in the records department," Carisi told her, offering her a coffee a minute later, but Rita just waved it off while seating herself in the visitor chair of a currently unoccupied desk. While she checked her emails on her phone and pushed a strand of her light brown hair out of her face one of her feet started tapping on the floor subconsciously. She had to be in court in about an hour, and thus was impatient; if this took too long she had a problem. And while she asked herself why the hell she hadn't just told this idiot, who'd managed to get caught while taking pictures of little boys on the playground, to get himself a lawyer who was actually motivated to put up with his bullshit, Rita just longed for a bath and a good glass of wine.

As no new emails had arrived she allowed herself to plan a quiet evening for when she was done with working for the day, ignoring all the detectives running around in the squadroom of the Special Victims Unit.

However, she suddenly felt a gaze on her and feeling curious, she slowly lifted her head. Detective... no, she corrected herself, Sergeant Tutuola was sitting on the edge of his desk, looking over to where she was sitting with an almost curious expression. When he realised that she'd noticed his attention, he crossed his arms in front of his chest but held her gaze as she stared back at him, as if he wasn't bothered by it.

Rita tried to make sense of the situation while she kept looking into his brown eyes, her expression mostly neutral, but also a bit questioning; why was he looking at her? And why did she find this situation not as uncomfortable as she would have expected it to? She couldn't deny that there was a light tingle in her stomach...

But why was he showing interest in her? If she was completely honest with herself, she didn't think that she was the type of woman he would be attracted to. Or was this just because he was bored and wanted to make her feel uneasy? There wasn't much to read from his gaze, really...

"Counselor? Your client is in the interrogation room now." Carisi's voice ripped her out of this little moment from one second to the other and she even jerked slightly in her chair – she'd completely forgot that they weren't alone. Clearing her throat, she slipped her phone into her bag and hurried to get up, following the detective. She couldn't help the little smirk that played around her lips when she turned a last time before vanishing into the interrogation room and found him still watching her.

Maybe she would have time to find out what those glances were about the next time she'd visit the precinct.

Rita certainly was curious.
