PS: I LOVE FEEDBACK (and prompts are never unwanted)

"Hey, I was thinking that perhaps we could try that new organic restaurant that opened up a couple of blocks from the precinct." Maura said, with a little excitement in her voice. "I'd really love to try their baby beet stir-fry. The critics have given it some amazing reviews."

"Eugh, really?" She groaned. "Can't we just get a burger from the Dirty Robber or something?" She says, slumping into the couch.

Maura sighs, pursing her lip. "Oh come on, try something different. Your body will thank you," she says in attempt to persuade Jane.

"Yeah… Um, the last time I tried something different I got gas like a trucker from the cabbage chips you made me eat." She said with a childish smile.

Maura couldn't help but let out a small giggle. "This will be different, I promise!" She begged. "They don't have cabbage chips…" She laughed.

Jane lets out a huff before finally relenting. "Fine…" She whines. "But! I will eat whatever I choose from the menu. I don't know why your chef friend insisted on these 'AMAZING' cabbage chips."

Maura smiles, "Deal. How about Thursday evening?"

"Ah, nope. Planning to get some stuff done that night. Friday though?"

"Hm, that should work. If you want, you can leave some clothes here so you can get changed quickly after work?" Maura offers politely.

Immediately, Jane's eye brow rises, "What's wrong with my clothes?"

Maura looks at Jane blankly, suddenly quiet, with her usual verbose self taking shelter somewhere in her mind.

"My work clothes will be fine," Jane says, taking a breath trying to show that she's not actually mad. "Besides," she pleads, "It'll be faster to go from work anyway." She just smiles, attempting to convey peace.

"That is true," Maura says, easing back into the conversation. "I will meet you in the bullpen after work then." She too is now smiling.

••••

"Are you ready?" Maura said excitedly as she entered the bullpen.

"Yep, I- " Jane paused as she looked up at the woman across the room. "You got changed," she said a little puzzled, taking in how always ready her friend was a full spread photo shoot.

"Yes, I really wanted to wear my new skirt," she says looking down with a smile, smoothing down the fabric over her hip.

"It's … nice." Jane really did think it was a nice skirt, she was still just a little thrown at how amazing her friend looked. Always looked. "Ah, anyway," she said refocusing. "Yep, I'm ready. Let's go."

On the way to the car, both women were relatively quiet. Glancing over from the driver's seat though, Jane noticed a peculiar look on Maura's face. "Do you need to pass gas?" She said slowly.

Maura's eye brows were still furrowed a little as she began to speak. "No, I have a very balanced diet that is successfully maintaining regular and comfortable bowel movements." She said frankly.

Jane's jaw dropped slightly, still not used to Maura's frequent habit of not necessarily appropriate comments. "Right," she said pausing. "I was asking because you look like you're thinking something," she said in a leading manner.

"Oh. Yes, I was. I realised something."

"…Okay? And what's that?"

"That," she emphasised, "is the fact that we have never done anything on a Thursday night together." Her words are revelationary.

Jane is a little bit rattled, but quickly rebuts, "Sure we have!"

"No. We haven't." She says, completely unphased by the hint of desperation in her friend's voice.

"Yeah! Remember that time we were in that fancy schmancy restaurant that you had to book 6 months in advance to get into?"

"The only reason we were there was because we were called to the scene of a dead body!" She laughed. "That doesn't quite count for what I had in mind."

"Yeah…" she said hesitantly. "BUT it was a Thursday." She too is laughing now.
"Anyway! What's the menu like at this place?" She said subtly attempted to deflect.

"Well, we're almost there, so why don't you just wait a minute or two." She smiles at Jane's unwavering impatience.

"Fine…" She said gruffly, though they both knew just how much she put that act on.

Maura just pursed her lips in a smile.

Out of the corner of her eye, Jane could see her friend's face begin to light up as they drove within eyesight of the restaurant.

When they sat down at their booked table they both looked around the restaurant in awe. Maura's amazement was stemmed in the success of a not-so mainstream style of restaurant. Jane, however, was taking in how many people who so caught up by the organic food fad. She figured, as long as she wasn't dead then the food wasn't killing her.

"Ooh, the organic quinoa with Egyptian spiced chicken sounds good," she said with a contented smile.

"Yeah…" she said in a sardonic tone. "Why does everything on menu have quinoa?" She said, genuinely puzzled by the sentiment. Pausing, she then continued you on in her usual tone, "I think I'll go with the sweet potato pizza. Couldn't be that bad, right?"

Maura refrained from rolling her eyes at Jane's quirks, but she couldn't deny she found them endearing.

After the waiter took their order, Maura tried with the utmost subtlety to once again raise the point about Thursday nights. "So…" She paused as she observed the curious look staring back at her. "You never really did elaborate as to why we have never done anything on a Thursday night."

Jane looked in her eyes and smiled. "Would you like to hang out on Thursday?"

Maura smiled as well, and said, "That's not why I was asking."

"Alright, then forget I asked," she teased.

"Okay, yes," she jumped.

"Okay then. But I get to choose what we do." She smirked.

"Deal," she nodded, quite pleased with the outcome.

I would like to thank Remix-this/dancingfool121 for the prompt. My apologies for not necessarily doing it justice, but I hope you guys are enjoying it so far.
