Bulletproof - Krazy Days
These are a collection of scenes that I have either edited out of the bulletproof series as I felt they served no purpose, or that I wanted to expand upon. They're one shots, in no particular order. Contains characters from the bulletproof series, all CSINY and NCIS characters don't belong to me (damn) but the O/C's do.
Knock Back
This is from 'Unlikely Suspect' from the conversation Don and Kate have in the bar about when Kate and Danny almost hooked up.
"She's a whore" Kate teased "An utter whore"
"Just 'cos you're the Ice Queen Krazy" Danny said "Don't be such a bitch"
They were alone in the bar, the last to leave. Danny was trying to persuade his phone to call a girl he'd met a few times, he kept dialling the wrong number.
"You only wanna get laid" Kate accused lightly.
"What's wrong with that?" he grinned, finishing his bottle.
"She's had half the police force!" Kate scolded "How bad you gonna feel if she's in bed with someone else when you call?"
"Then I'll wait my turn" he grinned, trying again with the phone.
"You're disgusting" she wrinkled her nose "You can walk me home before you go screwing anyway, I'm outta beer"
"Aw fuck it!" he slammed the phone down on the table "Come on, I got some liquor back in my room"
…...
They sat side by side on Danny's narrow bed, music boomed from down the hall.
"I still think we should crash that party" Kate slurred.
"Those guys" Danny attempted to point in the direction of the music, but his hand weaved, Kate felt dizzy trying to focus on it "Are coke head students, we should go bust their asses"
"Then why don't we?" she tried to stand, and failed, falling into a giggling heap.
"Because I can't afford a room anywhere else" Danny told her, his eyes crossing "I've not got rich parents like you"
"I haven't got rich parents!" she protested, looking up from where she'd collapsed on the bed.
"Whatever Krazy" he said "Here" he handed her the bottle, she sat up, taking a swig.
"Where's your wingman tonight anyway?" she asked.
"Flack? Probably balls deep in that busty blonde from the diner by now" Danny shrugged "Lucky bastard"
"You wanted a piece of her then?" Kate asked.
"Who wouldn't?" Danny replied, taking the bottle back "But who's gonna fall for my cheeky chappie routine when you got Flack turning the charm on?"
"I dunno" Kate turned her head onto one side "You can be charming, and I'm sick of hearing how damn hot Flack is in the locker room, I got your back Messer" she said with a giggle "I keep telling them you're much nicer"
"You don't think Flack's hot?" he asked with mock surprise "Are you gay or something?"
"Oh he's hot" she sighed "Problem is he knows it too. But you, you're, well, nice"
"Why thank you Krazy Kate" he smiled a lopsided smile "You know you're hot right?"
"Me?" she frowned "Thank you officer Messer"
And then she kissed him. She was never sure why. Had she been forced on pain of death to reveal why, it may have had something to do with his comment about Flack and the waitress from the diner, a spark of something not quite jealousy, but more resentment that Flack, who seemed intent on sleeping his way around New York, had never even tried with her. Oh, he flirted, between taking the piss and shouting at her, but never so much as a hint.
Danny kissed her back at first, the temptation of having an attractive blonde, a drunk attractive blonde, kissing you on your own bed, was too much. But alarm bells rang, Kate wasn't one night stand material, she was girlfriend material. Danny didn't want a girlfriend, he wanted Kate to be just his friend, who happened to be a girl.
"Kate no" he said, pulling away.
"Come on Danny" she wheedled "One night stands, even the Ice Queen has them sometimes"
"I don't wanna think of you like that" he said with surprising sincerity "You're too good to have a one night stand with a dick like me"
"Fine!" Kate flung herself onto her back "I know the brush off when I hear it!"
"It's not like that" he said.
"Whatever" she replied "You do realise though, I'm gonna pass out here?"
"Go for it" he mumbled "If you're gonna throw, don't do it on the bed, or me"
For a long time afterwards, Kate slightly resented Danny for turning her down. Now, many years later, she appreciated why he'd done it, and appreciated that he had done it.
