Prompt: LaGuerta's crush on Dexter from season 1
Summary: Perhaps it was that very ordinariness of him that intrigued LaGuerta. / Insight on LaGuerta's crush on Dexter from season 1.
LaGuerta never knew why she was so attracted to Dexter Morgan.
There was nothing remarkably special about him. He worked from nine to five, had lunch with his sister most days, went home (presumably to an adoring pretty, young girlfriend), and came back the next day with doughnuts for the crew.
Perhaps it was that very ordinariness of him that intrigued LaGuerta. She imagined him as someone she could do the Sunday Crossword with, his hands, meticulously crossing out the answered clues, his fingers, neatly filling in the letters, all in caps. She imagines feeding him a jelly doughnut with her messy fingers, licking off the excess jelly off his lips, and him, smiling in return.
He never returned her feelings and, as it were, his endearing traits were the same that she soon began to see in Angel.
But still, it's knowing that good-heartedness in Dexter that will have LaGuerta defending him 'til the end, accused of murder or not.
