Summary: If Aiden has to go, I hope she'll go like this.

"Hey Aiden, you've been workin' yourself to death on this rape case. I brought you some Chinese takeout. It was a lonely drive without you on the hood."

Aiden couldn't resist smiling, but she was halfway out the door when she replied.

"Aww thanks Danny, but I distinctly remember that you were on the hood that time. Sorry, I gotta rush, new evidence to log…ya know how it its. I'll sit down and eat with ya in the breakroom. Gimme ten minutes?"

"Aid, ya haven't eaten since yesterday. I happen to know this because I called ya…remember? The evidence can wait, and ya didn't even take a lunchbreak yesterday. Take twenty minutes and sit with me. We'll be the only ones in there, ok?"

Aiden looked thoughtful, then finally put her baggies down.

"Alright, twenty minutes. Tops."

Danny smiled with a truimphant look on his face that erased the worry that had been there before.

"Come on, I'll escort ya there."

They walked to the break room and sat down. Danny presented Aiden with her lunch, and her eyes grew big and appreciative.

"Oh, Danny!" she squealed, "you brought General Sow's Chicken, Fried rice, and a Diet Coke. You are the best!"

Before she started chowing down, she leaned over and gave Danny a kiss on the cheek. Danny leaned into it, savoring the feelong of Aiden's lips so near his. The kiss lasted a second too long to be classified as "friendly" (or so Danny thought), but Aiden pulled back, smiling sheepishly at Danny, and took a huge bite of chicken.

"Wow, Aid, have ya ever seen food before? Actually, no, ya haven't…not in the past few days at least. See how good lunch breaks can be?"

Aiden smiled and nodded, sipping her Diet Coke. Danny shook his head and started on the fried rice, getting some on his face.

"Oh God, boys are the messiest eaters!"

Aiden paused eating to run her finger along the sides of Danny's mouth, determined to wipe the offending rice off. Midway through her "cleaning", she and Danny both froze, slowly looking up at each other, as though just been shocked. Danny touched her hand and began to lean in toward her face before they were suddenly broken apart at the shout of laughter coming from Chad when entering the breakroom on his cell phone.

"Wait what? That's crazy! I'll call you later, I gotta get off before Mac sees me. K, bye!"

Danny and Aiden, now separated, broke into a hysterical fit of laughter, whispering about how Chad sounded incredibly gay (which he was not…his crush on Aiden was all too obvious) until they realized that, given an extra 5 seconds, they could've been kissing. Which was what they both wanted, but neither had the guts to tell the other.

A/N: More coming, probably in a couple of days. If you love me, you'll R&R
