"It makes you think about all those things in your own life that you don't want to put off anymore" Kate spoke, her eyes boring into Ricks as she tried to convey the meaning behind her words.
Rick just stood staring at her, waiting for her to make the next move, he didn't want to read her wrong, and he didn't want to push her into something she wasn't ready for. What he didn't expect was for her to take a step towards him and place her hand on his cheek.
"I'm ready Rick" Kate spoke, her thumb brushing his cheek as she gazed into his eyes
They stood there for silently for some time before Rick brought his hand to place it on her cheek, mirroring her actions. He watched her eyes as they flitted from his eyes to his lips, then back up again. He wasn't going to do it, he was waiting on her, needed her to make the move. He just wished she'd hurry up about it already. She kept her eyes locked with his as her hand slipped from his cheek to the back of his neck, her face moving closer to his while urging his own head towards hers. Rick looked at her, his eyes questioning her before she closed the distance and their lips touched. Rick pulled back slightly, a small smile spreading across his face before he closed his eyes and closed the distance between them once again. He moved his own hand round her neck and into her hair, the other now resting on her hip, holding her in place. He kept the kiss gentle, not wanting to cause too much of a scene where the entire precinct could see them. But he knew no matter how much he put into this kiss, it still proved the same thing. That she loved him just as much as he loved her.
Kate was slightly worried when Rick stepped back from the kiss, but was quickly reassured when she noticed the smile on his face before their lips crashed together again. She didn't need to deepen the kiss; they both knew what this meant. Her lips moved over his, her tongue begging for entrance as she pulled him closer to her, needing to taste him to reassure herself that this wasn't a dream. He eagerly accepted her request, their tongues moving over one another as they stood in the middle of the break room. A small moan sounded between the two, neither sure who it came from, but bringing them back to reality. They gave one another one last kiss before stepping apart and looking into each other's eyes once again.
"Kate" Rick didn't know what else to say, he was shocked to say the least, but his face showed a wide grin as he continued to look at her. "Are you sure?"
"Rick, look at me, I love you." Kate spoke softly, grasping his chin with her hand and tilting his face to look at her. She could see that he understood, see he felt the same, she'd heard it before, but now she knew it wasn't a heat of the moment thing.
"I love you too Kate, so much" Rick replied, pulling her face to his once again, their lips crashing together once more.
"Rick" Kate mumbled against his lips, god what was wrong with her, she had to stop but damn it she didn't want to. "Work"
"Sorry" Rick said pulling away, stroking his thumb over her cheek before stepping back and placing his arms by his side, locking them in place.
"Rick, I, erm, I need to tell you something." Kate spoke quietly, her eyes locking with his as she finished the sentence.
"Kate, you can tell me anything." Rick reassured her, his hands now finding her arms, giving her a squeeze.
"I don't think this is the best place to do it, I want you to be able to shout if you want to and not draw attention to us." Kate replied, her eyes shifting slightly, trying to lose the contact she now had with his.
"Why would I shout Kate? You just told me that you love me, there is nothing that you could say that would make me want to shout." Rick replied.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that" Kate shot back, shifting her gaze back to the floor
"Tell me now and find out" Rick requested, "I don't want to wait and wonder what you wanted to tell me all day, it's not going to be good for the case"
"Rick, look at me" Kate waited for him to look up before she continued, "Remember that I love you, and I thought it was the best thing to do, I wasn't ready and I didn't want to start something that I would ruin, I just, I'm so sorry."
"Kate, what is it?" Rick asked, stepping back again, confused by what was going on.
"I..I remember everything" Kate responded, bowing her head as she locked her hands together in front of her.
"Yo, Captain's gathering the troops." Esposito shouted through the break room door, before turning and heading back out towards the bullpen.
"Rick, say something." Kate asked shakily.
"We've...we've got to get back to work Beckett" Rick responded, turning on his heel and heading out of the break room towards the bull pen.
"Rick, please" Kate responded grabbing his arm.
"Not now Kate, let's go" Rick shot back, pulling his arm out of her grasp and leaving the break room.
I'm hoping I can update this one pretty fast, I'm not making this a long one, but I kind of needed to get it out and see what would have happened. I hope you like it, should only run the course of the episode. Was going to make it a One-Shot, but would have been way too long if I had. Please review, makes me write faster.
