A/N: Just finished watching 'A Person Of Interest' for the first time (yes, I rented it out, okay?) and felt very inspired… This is what the chicken (don't ask) came up with…
Disclaimer: Don't own them….
Dedication: To Bobby Goren… someone hug him dammit! (seriously, who here didn't wanna hug him after that episode?)
'Eames… it… it's me…' Alex sighed and buzzed her partner up, then returned to the couch and her tub of ice cream. Stupid Wallace… stupid Croyden… stupid reporters… Sigh… She heard a knock at her door and she smiled gently.
'It's open, Bobby…' She called out, and it opened slowly, to reveal her partner, looking extremely depressed. She put the ice cream down, promising herself she'd finish it, and stood up, walked over to the door and took his hand, leading him into the apartment. 'No offence, but you look like shit…'
'None taken… How you feeling?' He asked, obviously avoiding having to express his own feelings. She smiled weakly, and picked the ice cream back up.
'I'm okay… but I know I can't feel even slightly as bad as you do…' She held out a spoonful to him, and he shook his head. 'Go on…' He let her guide the spoon into his mouth and she grinned.
'Eames, I… I'm really sorry… about all of this… about the whole Nicole thing… The whole Croyden thing…' He said, looking at his hands. She sighed again, and nudged his face back up to look at her.
'Don't apologize… none of this is your fault, Bobby… none of it…' She said, and he gripped onto her hand.
'I… I saw the anger… the disappointment… the frustration… in your eyes… You… you hated me… I know you did, Eames, so don't lie about it…' Her mouth closed in defeat, and she stroked his hand gently.
'I did… I hated you… but only for a split second, Bobby… then… I realized that none of this was your fault… Croyden… Nicole was behind all of it, Bobby… She's a vindictive bitch, and you know it… everyone knows it…' He looked at her, and saw the one thing he hadn't seen since he was a very small child. Love. She hugged him tightly, tears forming in her eyes.
'Can… can I fix… this? Us?' He asked, and she pulled away, glaring at him like he was an idiot.
'You just did, Bobby…'
'Eames…'
'Don't call me Eames…'
'Then what do I call you?'
'Alex…' She whispered, smiling gently. 'Please… I want you to call me Alex…'
'Okay then… Alex…' Her name coming out of his mouth… the one thing she had wanted to hear since the day they met… 'How did I fix… us?'
'By showing up here tonight… You proved to me that you want this partnership as much as I do…' He smiled gently, and she hugged him again. 'We got her, Bobby… You and me… not bloody Goren and Eames… Bobby and Alex…' He smiled gently and kissed her forehead.
'Thank you…' She smiled gently.
'You're welcome…' He held her close to him, her fingers entwined with his.
A/N: Yeah… short… do we want more? Reviews are welcomed!
