Ryan had always had a thing for blonds, and after Claire died his fixation shifted to a new target, one even he hadn't expected: his young partner, Mike, with those pretty blue eyes. Ryan couldn't help himself. Mike was so hot when he wore that badge. It was so hard to conceal how he felt, even to himself.
Ryan looked out the window, thinking. He tried not to look at Mike while they drove together to the crime scene. It was hard to think about anything else except Mike's strong hands on the wheel and how close their knees were. Ryan's pacemaker almost failed when Mike took a break from the road to glance at him.
"Ryan, why are you staring?" Mike questioned in his naturally sultry voice.
"Hmm? What? I wasn't staring," Ryan choked, "I was just planning."
Planning our wedding.
Ryan's attention was stolen by the sudden shots fired in their direction. Mike swerved. Their knees touched but Ryan didn't have time to think about that right now. Mike pulled over and they both got behind the car and assumed a defensive positions, guns drawn.
"Ryan, cover me!" Mike demanded.
Ryan was more than willing to oblige.
Mike started to make his way across the street when Ryan spotted the sniper. There was no time to warn him. Ryan couldn't let his world collapse around him again, he had to save Mike, even if it meant sacrificing himself.
Without thinking Ryan hurled himself at Mike's muscular body. This is not how he imagined their first physical encounter would be.
"What the-" Mike started.
"Sniper, stay down!" Ryan yelled.
Quickly he covered Mike's body with his own in a protective manner simultaneously taking aim at the sniper.
"No one hurts my Mike," Ryan whispered, hoping Mike wouldn't hear, as he shot the sniper in the head.
Ryan was now painfully aware of their two warm bodies pressed against each other.
Mike looked shockingly at Ryan.
"Nice aim, but what the fuck was that?" He asked.
"What was what?" Ryan responded.
"My Mike?" Mike inquired.
"Well you are, aren't you?" Ryan breathed, staring into those ocean eyes.
Mike looked away for a second, as if the danger was not gone. And that's when Ryan noticed a bulge beneath him.
"It appears I am," Mike smiled.
