Inner monologue
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
This was another beautiful Sunday morning for Maura Isles and as a tradition she was running to her best friend's, Janes Rizzoli's, apartment to meet for a run around the block. Finally taking last steps to Jane's apartment door she knocks.
*knock knock**silence*
"Jane?" Impatiently shouts Maura brushing her forehead with her hand while standing near the door.
"Jane, don't tell me you're still sleeping" with a gruff suggests the M.E. God. She thinks. After all these years she still can't wake up for a run. Still... This is one of those qualities that I love about her. She tells herself before unlocking her friend's door and coming in.
Strange. She thinks. At this point I would hear a gruff or a witty comment from her bedroom at least, something's not right.
She walks through the apartment and stops at the detective's door.
*knock knock*
"Jane, are you alright?" With a hint of worry in her voice says Maura.
"mmnghhh" Some sort of muffled sound can be heard on the other side of the door.
This can't be good. Thinks to herself the honey blonde doctor. Silently debating she opens the raven haired detective's door and looks inside. The room is a mess. Tissues, blankets and clothes are thrown all over the floor and bed. In the bed you can see something or better someone, trying to warm herself with a big mass of blankets.
"Maurrrr" Says Jane in a think sleep filed and somehow sore voice.
"What's wrong?"
"Rsml Smhk"
"what?"
"I'm really not feeling well" Finally peeking her head from the blankets says Jane.
"Jane, don't tell me you didn't take the flu shot when I asked you to" with a dejected voice asks Maura.
"Mayyybe" Sheepishly answers Jane running her hand through her hair. "You should probably go home, I don't want you to get sick".
"Don't even think I will be going anywhere from your apartment when my best friend is sick and can't even get out of the bed".
"Pshhh" Answers lamely Jane. "I so can, watch". After these words you can see limbs trying to move in the bed and finally after a few seconds stoping.
"Alright, maybe not" Shuddering answers Jane.
"So it's final. I'm not going home untill you get on your feet again, literaly".
"Wait". Amazed says Jane. "Am I hallucinating or after all these years THE Maura Isles says a joke when I am sick?!"
"It's not the first time, and I was stating an obvious observation". Embarrassed tells Maura.
"Well yeah, maybe, but this one was unexpected and it's not obvious, I'm just too lazy to actually get up, yeah that's right… too lazy, not unable to get up nahhh". Shivering more and more states Jane.
*sight*
"Alright, let's say I believe that, what do you need?"
"Need what?" Confusingly asks Jane.
"To get more comfortable after I give you your medicine" With a confident look says the woman standing near the bed.
"I don't need medicine!" With a pout shouts the woman in bed.
*another sight*
"You are acting like a child Jane. When you stop maybe we'll find something to do not to get bored. When and I mean When you take your medicine and eat something"
"Netflix in bed, pleassssee, Maurr?" With a childish and adorable face begs Jane.
"Sure, why not".

After a good breakfast Jane and Maura sit in bed with blankets thrown over Maura's leg and Jane's whole body.
"So, what are we watching" Questions Maura not so subtly trying to cuddle with her secret crush. Who am I kidding? She asks herself. It's more than that.
Jane gets distracted by Maura's close proximity and the perfect fit and comfort she feels with Maura. Wish we could do this all the time. Thinks Jane. Or is it so comfortable because I'm cold and want warmth? Questions herself Jane. Being distracted she doesn't feel Maura's arm being subtly thrown over her torso and Maura's head being laid on her shoulder.
"Mmmm, so comfortable". With a soft voice, caressing Janes neck says the genius.
Yup. States Jane to herself. I totally have feeling for Maura, but just little ones. Yup, little ones. Says Jane when she looks to Mauras eyes. Gooodddd, why did you have to do this to me? I can't control myself around Maura anymore.
"Why?" Says a sudden voice out of nowhere.
"Huh?" dumbly asks Jane.
"Why did you say that you can't control yourself around me anymore Jane?" With an unreadable look asks Maura.
Did I just say that out loud?!Maybe it's the temperature.
"Yes, and it's not the temperature I assure you." Straight forwardly plants the anwer Maura.
"I said that out laud too?!" With a pitch higher voice questions the dumb struck detective.
"Well I wouldn't have answered otherwise, So?" Impatiently asks Maura.
"So what?" trying to play dumb answers Jane.
"So why did you say that?!" again asks Maura.
"Asked what?"
"JANE! Answer the question, dammit"
"hah… W-well Y-you see" stutters Jane.
"Yesss?" asks Maura with something like hope and longing shining in her eyes. Damn she looks beautiful now. Maybe she fell the same as me? Jane focus! She says to herself.
AHHHHHHHHH I'll just get it out of my system!
"You see Maur" With the confidence she didn't have before says Jane. "I kinda have feeling for you".
"What kind of feelings" Now hope can be hard in Maura's voice.
God fuck it, out with it we go, I just can't unsee all the hope shining in her eyes. What king of detective I would be if I would be brave in this moment. I could just blame it on the flu the next day if it goes bad. Debates with Jane herself.
"You see Maura, I j-just ughhhh… Maur I-I love you and I'm scared." Finally says Jane.
"Why are you scared?" mutters Maura looking at Janes lips.
"Seriously of all the things I said you ask that?!" with bewildered look states Jane.
"Jane. WHY. ARE. YOU. SCARED?" stubbornly asks Maura.
"Because"
"Because why, Jane?"
"Because you may not love me back, you idiot"
"Oh… right, I didn't say it, did I?" Asks Maura
"Say what?" with tears, already given up Jane asks.
"Well, I'll better show you" Finally says Maura and takes Janes face in her hands and slowly looking between Jane's eyes and lips, kisses Jane. Lips touching, one's fingers are in the hair, others arms are around the neck, pulling each other closer to another. Who would have thought that such a simple kiss could tell and make feel so much and yet, Jane was still confused.
"What does that mean?" after getting her breathing under control asks Jane.
"What means what" A little disorientated asks Maura.
"THE KISS" Already frustrated asks Jane again.
"Oh. It means that I love you too, you dummy" With a goofy smile says Maura leaning to kiss Jane again.
"Oh" Says Jane, finally able to respond to the kiss.
