It had started innocently enough. Goren and Eames had gone out for drinks with Logan and Wheeler last evening, and after alcohol had loosened their collective tongues, the topic of "types" had come up. Logan had no qualms regarding outlining every detail that he liked about Barek (personality and otherwise) until Wheeler hissed something under her breath and her partner looked frightened when he lifted his gaze to see his former partner and significant other making her way toward them.
When greetings had been exchanged, Wheeler directed them back to their original topic, venturing that she was partial to your typical "tall, dark, and handsome," and Alex agreed, sneaking a discreet glance at her partner of over seven years (who was trying very hard to look uninterested), adding her preference for brown eyes and curly hair.
So it was that she was on the verge of kicking in Bobby's door the next morning when the door opened a crack, and the large man peered out at her with a somewhat pained expression. Slipping through the sliver of open door, Alex burst out laughing when she saw the predicament her partner had gotten himself into. He had been experimenting with hair curlers, and clearly hadn't an inkling how to use them.
When her laughter had ceased Alex shoved him unceremoniously onto the couch, and ignoring complaints, she began to remove the hopelessly tangled curlers.
"Bobby!" she admonished nearly an hour later when she was finished.
"You didn't have to do that, and your hair's already curly anyway." she informed him, brushing a lock of hair from his temple for emphasis. "I like you just the way you are."
As he started to protest, she leaned in and silenced him by kissing him firmly, and, as she was glad to report later to Carolyn, his objections were entirely half-hearted.
A/N: Yes, I know it's OOC, but the image of Bobby and hair curlers popped into my head yesterday (no clue why) and this was the result. Please review!
