Horatio Caine stood by his office window, the one that looked down into the Trace lab. Below, his Trace expert, Timothy Speedle was working. Horatio had spent many hours over the years that he and Speed had worked together standing in this same spot doing exactly what he was doing now. It had become a habit, a ritual of sorts, when they weren't out in the field.
It had started, innocently enough, one day when he was sitting at his desk doing paperwork. He'd been sitting for several hours reviewing and signing off on case files when he stood up to stretch his muscles. He'd wandered over to the window and looked down into the lab. Speed was working at the microscope, doing what exactly Horatio couldn't remember. He did remember that he'd stood there for several long minutes just watching his young colleague. He'd become lost in thought and only just managed to step back from the window as Speed looked up.
After that day he found himself in front of that window many times. He'd watched. He'd fantasized. He'd wondered what it would be like to touch him, to run his hands over the young man's naked body, to make him squirm and writhe with pleasure until he screamed out Horatio's name in ecstasy. He'd fantasized about bending him over one of the tables and slipping into the tight heat of his body right there in the lab.
A small smile worked its way across his face as he remembered those early days at the window. He still stood there even now and watched; only his perspective had changed. He took his eyes off Speed as he momentarily glanced at his own hand and the gold band that circled his ring finger before returning his gaze back to his lover. He no longer had to fantasize about anything. He knew exactly what lay beneath that lab coat and those oversized shirts he wore. He no longer had to wonder what it would be like to have the young brunette writhing beneath him in the throws of passion. All he had to do was wait until they got home.
Speed turned from what he was doing and glanced up at the window. He saw Horatio standing there watching him, as he'd done so many times before. He smiled up at the redhead before turning back to continue his work. Horatio smiled back and stood there for a moment longer before returning to his paperwork knowing that they would be playing some of those fantasies later tonight.
