A Christmas Present Unwrapped Early.
This is my first attempt at a fanfic. So, go easy on me? But, I'd really appreciate all the insight you may have. Tips; Ideas; Suggestions; criticism that I can actually use to make myself a better writer. If you're just going to leave hateful comments, I'd prefer you to just move on along.
I do not own the rights of Rizzoli and Isles, and each character that is used within the show.
I don't know how long this will be seeing as it's my first. But, depending on feedback and if people actually enjoy what I write, I'll keep it going.
- Rizzoli And Isles - Rizzles -
Detective Jane Rizzoli slowly trudged her way through the snow up to her best friend's, Dr. Maura Isles, front door. It was mid-December and Christmas was right around the corner. The two best friends have grown closer since the Rockmond mishap. Jane had been skating around her feelings for Maura for several months. She had always known she was attracted to Maura, but she was her best friend and a female. Jane Rizzoli never thought she liked other women. But, Maura was different than all the rest of the women in the world. She was witty, socially awkward, funny, incredibly intelligent, and all around perfect in Jane's eyes. She tried her best to limit her longing gazes towards the strawberry blonde Doctor, but, when Maura went off with her "Google-mouth" she couldn't help it, or when Maura would talk passionately about anything, or just anytime Maura entered the room.
Jane had always been one of the guys. Always trying to out man the other Detectives to prove she was, indeed, good enough to be in Homicide. And she was a damn good Detective. So good of a Detective that if she was as good as she thought, she knew there was something more than friendship. Or was it just her mind playing tricks? Making her see what she so desperately wanted to be real? But how could you mistake someone's eyes lighting up just a little bit brighter whenever you walked into the room, or when they smiled just a little more genuinely whenever they were around you? Jane had been a detective long enough to know body language.
Things were different with Maura. Maura accepted Jane in any form she came in. No matter where they were going, if Jane wanted to wear a suit, Maura accepted that, and even complimented on it. If Jane wanted to wear slacks and a button up shirt, she accepted that. Maura never pushed her to wear dresses as much as her Ma, Angela Rizzoli, did. Maura took Jane as she was, semi-broken with scars to match, emotionally shy, badass Detective that she was. And that made Jane love her all the more.
- Rizzoli And Isles - Rizzles -
Maura Isles was rushing around her house trying to set things up perfectly. She had masterminded a plan; which included Jane Rizzoli to admit her feelings for the Doctor. Maura had come to bearings with her feelings a few months ago, and she was almost 100 percent positive that Jane feels the same way she does. She was in love with the fearless, Italian Detective. Maura had admired Jane for everything she is about. Jane had taught Maura all there is to know about human interactions and social cues. She may not be spot on about them all the time, but she was far better than she was as a child or teenager. Maura had finally found the family she had always wanted in the Rizzoli clan. They accepted her with all of her quirks. They didn't judge her, but, instead they accepted her with open arms.
She had been planning to wait until Christmas night, but Jane was spending the night, like she had done so many nights. They never discussed these nights or how they woke up snuggled up in each other's arms. Jane's long, muscled arms wrapped securely around the Doctor's waist; like she was protecting her from her nightmares if they ever dared to bother her. Maura never informed Jane that she enjoyed every night they spent together wrapped up in each other, or the fact that every night Jane spent the night, she slept the best. She never told Jane how she never wanted the feelings she got when Jane looked at her just a little too long, or whenever Jane touched her to go away. How do you exactly tell your best female friend you're in love with them? Maura never identified herself as straight. She knows sexuality is fluid. Your body simply reacts to certain triggers. Plus, Maura had experimented a few times in college, but she had never fallen in love. She thought she loved Ian, once upon a time in her life. Until Jane opened her eyes to the way she should be treated. She came to realize she loved the idea of being in love. She had convinced herself that she loved Ian to make it seem normal for him to be away most of the time. But that wasn't right. That wasn't love. Jane showed her love.
Now, here she was, just moments away from carrying out her plan. She was a bit on edge, and a bit jittery with nerves. This was all new to Maura. She had never been one to get nervous when trying to seduce any man, or woman for that matter. But, Jane. Jane was always more. She meant more. She is the most important person in Maura's life. Jane won't merely be a distraction. She wants Jane for the long haul. She wants to spend the rest of her life with Jane, and start a family with her someday. Doctor Maura Isles was about to open up to Jane completely, be left bare and vulnerable to the dashing Detective. Maura heard a knock on the door and scurried to answer it. She knew Jane must be cold even if she hadn't been outside long and her hands were most likely aching with pain. She opened the door with ease, flashing Jane a smile that stretched across her face in genuine delight.
"Jane. Welcome. Please, come out from the cold," And she ushered her inside.
