Notes: couldn't find much of the original dialogue, so I'm relying on my goldfish memory. Also, written for an LJ FicBattle.

"I dropped the ball with the work thing-"

"Nah, don't worry, it went righ over her head, trust me."

Slightly surprised, Martin turned his head to his co-worker. He was expecting a snarky remark or just plain hostility for the screw up.

Danny misinterpreted the wrinkles on his forehead and said it again. "Trust me." An honest voice. Friendly even. Overconfident as always, and though it had been getting to Martin's nerves lately, this time he can't help but feel thankful for having someone to rely on. A partner. And, even though it's too soon to tell and the thought doesn't last more than a second in Martin's head before he changes the subject to something he feels more comfortable with, for that very short moment, he thinks Danny seem to be, actually, a really nice guy.
