AN: Hello loves! It's been a long time since I've even tried to write anything related to The Nanny, but lately it's all I've wanted to do! I was going through old stories and saw that I like to write shorter one shots for this particular pairing, so why not make it a bit of a challenge? The goal of this "story" is to write 100 one shots, drabbles, or whatever these count as, based off of one word prompts. The first 5 are based off prompts from google, so please let me know if you have any! As for the stories, the state of their relationship may vary and I will do my best to make it clear. Finally, for the time being a T rating is appropriate, but I reserve the right to up it if needed. Love y'all!

Disclaimer: I do not own The Nanny or the characters.

Lock

"Damn it" CC hissed as she dug through her purse for the third time. Her keys were missing, which meant she left them in the office, and she was already running late. Maxwell has asked her to go to a dinner with several potential backers because Nanny Fine had guilted him into doing a "family night" instead. Now she only had forty-five minutes to get ready, but couldn't even get into her apartment. The super wasn't in and there was no telling how long he'd be gone. The Sheffields had her spare key, but only one person was home… CC reluctantly took her cell phone out and dialed the house's number.

"Sheffield residence" Niles answered in his fancy, professional butler voice.

"Listen Butler Boy, this is important so don't play any tricks. I locked myself out of my apartment and I have to get ready for dinner with those backers that Maxwell was going on and on about. If you don't get over here and let me in, Maxwell will have my neck!"

She could hear him trying not to laugh on the other end.

"Let me think...What's in it for me?"

CC sighed. "Niles, please. This is very important to Maxwell and I".

When she didn't get a response she knew that she'd have to take a different approach.

"I'll owe you one". She hated herself as soon as the words left her mouth. She couldn't imagine the horror that Niles would put her through with that power.

"Now that sounds like a deal. I'll see you in ten, brunette". He let out a loud laugh before hanging up the phone.

"We better get some damn good investments tonight" She huffed as she slid down the wall, sitting against the door, not so patiently waiting for Niles to come to the "rescue".

True to his word, Niles arrived ten minutes later, shaking his head at the sight of CC camped out on the floor. Of course she immediately noticed the lack of keys in his hand.

"Don't tell me you forgot the key" She whined as she pulled herself up.

Without saying a word, Niles reached into her coat pocket.

"What the hell, Niles?"

He simply pulled his hand out, revealing her own set of keys.

"You drove to and from work today" He deadpanned.

"I-I, how did you?" She stammered, trying to form a full sentence.

"Maybe you are a natural blonde" Niles joked as he turned to leave. "Have fun at dinner, babs".

Sunset:

It was a beautiful spring evening, and for once, Niles had off. The Sheffields were out of town on a vacation, which he wisely chose not to go on, leaving the house to himself. Well, almost. CC Babcock didn't know the definition of a vacation, so she insisted on coming in and working while everyone else relaxed. He had made it very clear that this week he was not Niles the butler, but Niles the man. For the most part, she had left him alone and taken care of herself. He could hear her moving about in the office, distracting him from the book he was trying to read.

"Shit!" He heard her yell through the closed terrace doors.

Setting the book down, he decided to go investigate.

"Keep it down babs, I'm trying to read out here" He said as he poked his head through the door. He barely managed to dodge the tissue box she threw at him.

"Go away toilet brush!" She yelled as she tried to cover her face. Niles walked over to her, not caring that he left the door open, and grabbed her hands, moving them down. For the first time since passed he saw tears in the socialite's eyes.

"I told you to go away!" She growled as she pushed against him.

"Miss Babcock, what's wrong?" Niles asked in the most gentle tone that he could manage.

"Nothing" She huffed as she furiously wiped her eyes. "Don't you have something to dust?"

"You know that I'm on vacation while the family is away".

He could tell that she hadn't expected such a tame response. "Now, will you please tell me what's going on?"

Her mouth was partially open, trying to figure out what to say. This was not the Niles that she was used to. He wasn't throwing any zingers, and in her moment of vulnerability, she actually found him...charming? She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to compose herself.

"I'm fine. I'm just a bit overwhelmed and I feel like no matter how hard I work, there's still a thousand things to get done".

"You know , the work will still be there. Why don't you try to relax a bit? Everyone else is. Come outside with me". Niles held his hand out, letting her decide at her own pace. Reluctantly, she grabbed it, letting someone else take the lead for once.

Niles led her out the terrace door, coaxing her to sit down on the chair next to the one he had been sitting in.

"Just take a deep breath and enjoy the sunset, kiddo. I'll be right back".

CC half expected him to not come back and leave her outside waiting for him. However, he returned a few minutes later with a bottle of wine, two glasses, and some cheese and crackers.

"Wow Hazel, you really know how to kill the time while Maxwell is away".

Niles chuckled as he poured her wine. "Well you know what they say, when the family is away the butler shall play". He winked at her, not missing the slight blush that crept up on her cheeks.

For the first time in a long time, CC smiled, a genuine smile. "To relaxing and beautiful sunsets" CC said as she raised her glass to Niles'.

"To relaxing and beautiful sunsets" Niles repeated, smiling back at her. They enjoyed the warm air and the view together in a comfortable silence, and surprisingly, without a single zinger between them.

Name

"Niles, you'll never believe what I just found out" Nanny Fine whispered,well, whispered in comparison to her normal volume. Ever curious, Niles ceased his cleaning, giving the young woman his undivided attention.

"Do tell".

She grabbed his arm, dragging him down the hall. "It's not safe here, she might hear us".

It had to be some juicy information if they couldn't stay in the living room. Once they were in a more secluded space, Nanny Fine's bedroom, she began to spill.

"So, was in Mister Sheffield's office and knocked over Miss Babcock's purse-"

"How did she not see you?" Niles interrupted, knowing the blonde would have ended her right there.

"Oh, she was in the bathroom and you know that is sick and in bed. Anyway, her license fell out of her purse!"

An evil grin formed on his face.

"Oh, let me guess! A horrible picture? No! It's her age isn't it?" Niles asked.

"Even better" Fran insisted. "I know her name".

Just to be safe, Fran leaned in and whispered it into his ear.

Later that day, Niles brought some lunch into the office for CC, earning a weird look from her.

"What do you want?" She asked eyeing the sandwich suspiciously.

"Nothing. Do you need anything else?" He politely questioned.

"Looks like those butler lessons have paid off, but no".

Niles nodded, heading towards the door.

"Enjoy your lunch...Chastity Claire".

He bolted out the door, just barely missing the sandwich as it flew through the air.

"Niles!"
