Jane arrived at the doctor's Beacon Hill home later than she originally expected. Trying to juggle a couple of bags of food plus beer was no easy task while walking up the driveway. She opted to use her key to let herself in knowing Maura may be busy doing other things.
Jane felt bad because she had told her best friend that she would be there around 6; it was now 11. She pushed the door open and was met with a few lights coming from the kitchen. She placed the bags down on the counter and her keys in the bowl.
"Maura…" Jane began as she slipped her gun and badge off. "Hey, Maur…I'm really sorry. I know I said I'd…"
Jane stopped mid-sentence at the sight in front of her. Maura was curled up on her side on her couch completely out. She emitted soft snores as her curls fell across her face. The detective smiled to herself seeing the doctor in her sweats and BPD sweatshirt relaxed. At this moment, Jane realized how tired she was herself, and she decided to make a bold move.
She walked over to the couch grabbing a blanket on her way. Jane gently removed the curls out of the doctor's face and behind her ear, letting her fingers linger on her cheek. She climbed her way over the smaller woman and nudged her forward slightly making some room for her own slim body behind her. Maura made a grunting noise that Jane found absolutely adorable.
"It's just me, Maur."
Maura let out a deep breath almost of relief and nuzzled farther back into the detective leaving no room at all between them. Jane allowed her arm to wrap around her and pull her in close as she placed a kiss in the honey blonde curls. She could feel the doctor breathing and the beating of their hearts before drifting off to sleep.
And in that moment it was just the two of them under a blanket, and nothing else mattered.
