Alrighty then everybody! This is my first story, and I REALLY love Auggie/Annie. I have ever since the first episode. And I decided I wanted to put my stories up. I would LOVE it if you gave me reviews if you would like to. But please nothing mean, if you want to say something mean, my story must not be great, so stop reading if you don't like it. If you guys want to give me some advice, or some words I could use, (I have an alright size of vocabulary, but not HUGE) I would love it if you wanted to help me out! I write as I go, so when something comes to me, I write it in my notebook. And sitting in boxers INSPIRED me.

This is a continuation of Communication Breakdown.

So here it goes!

As Auggie sat in his little tech office, he heard Annie's soft "click, click" of her heels as she walked down the hall. The clicking slowed, and she was standing in his doorway. Her grapefruit perfume slowly drifted through the room, and into his nostrils. He inhaled the sweet, familiar scent into his nostrils. He sat up a little straighter in his chair, and spoke.

"Annie," his voice crackled quietly, and the low baritone in his voice gave Annie a little chill that raced down her neck, and through her back. Goosebumps rose upon her arm.

"it's late. What are you still doing here?"

She took a few more steps into his office, and took a seat in the chair that was next to Auggies. Auggie ordered another chair so that Annie, who is always in his office during a slow day, had somewhere to sit. Annie did not want him to get it, but he insisted.

Auggie felt her soft fingers push his messy brown hair out of his face. "I couldn't let my best friend get a ride home with a stranger at this time of the night." He heard the grin on her face when she spoke.

He chuckled. "Annie, I'll be fine, really. Go home and get some sleep."

She laughed this time. "I can't believe you think I would actually let you off so easily!"

Auggie could tell she was in a good mood, so he gave in. He clicked his computer a few times, and stood up.

"Alright, let's go then." "I win!" He cocked his head to the side a little bit, and smiled his charming little Auggie smile. "Don't you always?"

-000-

As she pulled up to his apartment building, Auggie spoke.

"Um, would you like to come inside?"

She smiled at him. "Yes, I would love to.

He unlocked his door and stepped inside. He flipped up the light switch, (just for Annie, his lights are never usually turned on anyways, only when he has company) and the room filled with light.

"I would say, 'Make yourself at home", but, it seems you basically live here."

Annie snorted. "It seems that someone else does too." She picked up a sweater off of the floor. Liza Hearn's. She prayed to God that she wouldn't find anything else less, um, covering.

Auggie frowned at her remark. "Annie, you know my motives on dating her."

"Yeah, yeah, Auggie, but I just really don't like her."

"I know, Annie, and I'm sorry for that. I'm hoping we won't be together for much longer. She's starting to get annoying."

That made Annie smile.

Annie scanned her eyes around the room, and spotted a picture of Annie and Auggie.

"She smiled to herself, and spoke. "Aww Auggie! I love this picture!"

He turned his head a little sideways, and smiled a little. "I wish I could say the same. I was told it was a picture of us, so I framed it. I'm assuming you look great, and I probably am not even looking at the camera."

He was right about Annie, she looked great in that picture. Her hair was in place, her dress fitting her well, her mouth in a sweet smile. She didn't want to feel conceited though, so she looked at Auggie in the picture. He was wrong about himself. His eyes are actually looking in the cameras general direction, his hair perfectly messy, and dressed nicely, like he usually is.

"Whatever Auggie, you look great in this picture."

He grinned and rose his eyebrows. "Thanks."

She sat down on the couch, and he joined her. It was on some children's movie. They paid no attention to it, and talked to each other.

Over the course of 2 hours, they spoke of anything and everything. They first talked about their most recent mission, then family and friends, then books, then music, and then their ex's. And since Auggie's most recent field work mission involved him finding his ex-girlfriend, and saving her life, he didn't get insanely detailed. But he actually spoke about it. Which in Annie's opinion, was a step up. He did talk about their kiss and things that happened on the train, and he also talked about the way he kissed him goodbye and left him with a simple but complicated "I love you, Auggie." Then he had to stop. She saw the way his face looked pained, and she had the incredible urge to comfort him. It was only a week, so he was still getting over it. She sat closer to him, and put her hand on his leg.

"Oh Auggie, I'm so sorry."

He smiled, but it was a sad smile. "It's alright. I'm with my favorite girl right now, and that's all that I'm thinking about."

Annie thought that was sweet.

Auggie then told her about how since then him and Liza became less physical, and since she's going to be gone for a week, him and Annie will have some time to spend together.

Annie talked to Auggie about Ben and Jai. Annie found herself enjoying Auggie while talking about Jai. His face looked relaxed, but his eyes showed all of the jealousy burning in him. But he listened intently while she spoke.

Auggie was smiling to himself the entire time she spoke about her sister, brother-in-law, and nieces. Her voice seemed to lighten up the mood, and he assumed she had a huge grin on her face and was gesturing with her hands like crazy.

Annie eventually ran out of steam and lay her head on his shoulder, and slowly drifted to sleep.

Auggie sat there, arms pinned against his couch, so his arms didn't bump into her and disturb her from her restful slumber. She soon took a deep breath and switched positions. She rolled to her back, which was directly on top of Auggie's lap. He smiled to himself at this.

A few more minutes latter he heard her speak his name in a sigh. "Auggie." She smiled and rolled over. A few minutes after that, she snored. It wasn't a little soft snore, it was LOUD.

He snickered and put his hand on her cheek.

One little imperfection that made her more perfect. He put his arms under her knees and under her head and neck, and lifted her up into his chest, and carried her like a child. He had one hand sticking out farther than the other, so he didn't run into something. He got into his room, and softly lay her on the bed. He leaned over, and kissed her forehead very lightly. In return she snored an extremely loud snore, and he smiled.

He walked back to his couch, turned the television off, lay onto his couch. As he adored Annie's snoring, he drifted off to sleep.
