Maura
Maura felt her hand trace along the back of Detective Barry Frost's hand as she directed it, with the scalpel she had given him, to the dead body lying before them. She felt the heat that came from him somewhat comforting and a feeling of excitement and happiness came over her from the closeness between them.
Their bodies were so close they were almost pressed together and Maura had her head slightly leant into his shoulder. This feeling had first arose when she had innocently invited Barry Frost to place himself by the dead body, to handle the scalpel, to help conquer his fear and sickness of dead bodies.
He had been close to her then too and her arm was entwined with his, both focussed on the other and the task before them. Then Jane had accidently walked in on them and instantly the moment had vanished. Maura had been slightly annoyed as she saw the look of curiousness on her friend's face and Barry immediately dropped the scalpel and walked away, awkwardly.
Later Barry had ventured down and asked her to help him and Maura felt a shimmer of hope in her heart. They continued their therapy sessions which soon became a usual habit, and soon Maura longed for the expected visits from him.
Barry
Barry Frost couldn't believe the irony of the situation. The one sickness or dislike he had of dead bodies, considering he was a homicide detective, was the one thing that was bringing him close to the woman he admired and loved.
The fact that Maura Isles was right next to him, close enough for him to smell the flowery smell of her hair, to feel the heat that eminated from her body. Her hand was touching his, guiding his hand with hers as they slid the scalpel across the smooth flesh of a man laying dead before them. That didn't really bother him as much as he thought because for this brief moment he was next to her.
He knew this was insane, to agree to slicing dead bodies just to spend time with Maura, but he couldn't help himself. It was his only safe option. If he thought that Maura even remotely liked him he would ask her out. But he didn't for fear of rejection, and if he put himself out there, if he asked her out or told her how he felt about her she might feel awkward and any time with her would be finished.
He had just finished making a slice across the corpes's abdomen when Maura slowly pulled her hand away, almost reluctantly he imagined. She pulled back from him, her heat left his back and he reluctantly turned around, away from her to face her. She smiled proudly at him when he looked at her.
"That was excellent" she noted enthusiastically "You barely even flinched. You've improved so much"
"T-Thanks" he stuttered nervously and gave a small grin, happy to have received praise from her, as though he were a small child "Guess that therapy stuff really works"
Maura gave a knowing look "Oh, it does. The effectiveness is proven scientifically to be very high and-". Frost looked at her as she forcefully stopped her sentence mid-flow, ready to spout of a list of facts and figures and twitched her face in annoyance.
"Maura?" he mused
"I'm not supposed to do that"
"Do what?" he asked "Talk?"
"Ramble and spout meaningless scientific facts that are irrelevant to the conversation and that people find annoying"
Barry laughed lightly "I don't find it annoying"
"You don't?" she questioned. He shook his head "No"
She smiled before starting to ramble off again "Still it's not good social skills" she muttered.
"Go out with me" Barry said, mentally crashing her line of thought and making her look at him in a mixture of shock and confusion
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me" he said
"Like on a date?" she replied, whispering and unsure if he was serious or if she had heard him wrong. As she did she saw him flinch and shake his head, clearly embarassed.
"You know what, it was a stupid idea and I shouldn't have asked" he stuttered. Just then Maura grabbed his hand and held him in place before he could stalk out of the lab.
"I would love to go out with you" she said plainly to him, a huge smile flashed across her beautiful face. Barry was shocked at her answer. He had blurted out his demand in the spur of the moment.
He had not even meant to ask it, it had just came out and now he heard the unimaginable. That Maura Isles had agreed to go out with him, on a date. As soon as she had questioned his intentions he had been sure of a rejection but she was agreeing , not rejecting him and it made his heart swell with joy.
"Really?" he questioned her, not believing what he was hearing.
"Yes, really" she laughed. He laughed with her, the tension easing with each moment
"Great!" he answered "Tonight good? eight o'clock, I'll pick you up"
Maura nodded happily "That sounds great" she assured him.
"Alright then, see you tonight" Barry replied, forcing himself to casually walk out of the room to reserve some professionalism, but he was still smiling.
Maura
Maura could barely contain her happiness as she continued with her work. She skipped around the counters and dived through her testing and autopsies, glad that she was alone in her work or someone would clearly have noticed her strange behavior.
Unbeknownst to her, her best friend, Detective Jane Rizzoli had walked unnoticed into the autopsy room and was watching her friend with amusement as she bounced around in obvious joy...and hummed.
"Are you humming?" said Jane amused. At the sudden presence in the room Maura jumped, frightened and gave a threatening glare to Jane as she burst out with laughter
"Jane!" she bellowed
"Sorry" Jane laughed "But you're humming"
"So?" Maura shot back, jokingly
"You don't hum" she said observingly "Did you meet a guy?"
"No"
"Come on, you're grinning like a cheshire cat"
"No I'm not"
"Maura!"
Maura shrugged non-chalantly, trying to vy her friend away from the path she was veering on "I'm just in a good mood, can't I be in a good mood". Jane shot a fake apologetic look
"No. Of course you can, I'm just curious". Maura raised her eyebrows at the dark-haired woman
"That's the detective in you. Always looking for a puzzle to solve, even if there isn't one" Maura mused "Besides I always share with you my romantic ventures and interests". Jane shrugged
"True. So" She sighed "Any plans?"
"Nope. Just gonna sit at home with Bass and drink and watch movies"
"Nice. Ma's got me over for dinner. I have a feeling she's gonna try to hook me up with someone again"
"Oh, you mean like she does every other day" Maura laughed
"Keep laughing. You're like the nice, girly daughter she never had. If I were to tell her about your romantic situation she might try to hook you up as well" Jane teased. Maura glared at her
"You wouldn't dare"
"Oh...I would" Jane eyed her jokingly. Maura was glad Jane had let her suspicions slide for now, but she would revisit the issue, when she thought Maura would least expect it. Maura wanted to have at least one date before Jane or others found out and pressured them.

Maura
Maura had made the extreme effort of completing all work she had before going home to get ready for her date with Barry. She hadn't rushed her work or mis-stepped, she would never, but she was so excited for her date with Barry Frost that she had wanted no other worried or pressures on her mind.
She spent hours applying her make up perfectly and finding the perfect outfit that she felt just like she had on her first ever date.
Ding dong
Maura smiled as she heard the ringing of her doorbell. It meant he had arrived and was ready to take her out on what she hoped was a magnificent date.
She walked down the hall, smoothing down her dress as she reached the door. She had decided on wearing a simple black dress, simple but classy. She placed her hand on the door knob and turned it, hearing the click as it unlocked and pulled it open. There stood Barry Frost, dressed in a black jacket and trousers with a white shirt and navy blue tie.
She glanced at him briely so as not to be caught staring, he looked extremely handsome with his nice suit and dazzling smile that was now etched upon his face. He leant slightly against the door frame.
Maura smiled at him "Detective"
"Please" he laughed "Call me Barry"
"Yes..Barry. Then call me Maura and please come in" she said moving to the side and allowed him entrance to her house. Barry looked around in awe at the sophisticated architecture and design of Maura's house.
"This place...even from the outside, it's brilliant"
"Thank you" she said as she made her way to the kitchen and grabbed her jacket and keys.
"You ready?" he asked
"Yes. Let's go" she said and they walked out of the house together,

Barry
Barry Frost had never felt so happy and yet so anxious at the same time. On the way over to Maura's he had been planning the evening out in his head, thinking of things they could talk about and thinking of things he could do to impress her. He had been out with intelligent girls before but Maura Isles was in a league of her own, she was basically a walking library.
He followed her every move and detail of expression on her face. He had held out doors for her, and paid the bill like a perfect gentleman, he had kept her laughing with little jokes and innuendoes. As the date went on he felt himself become more relaxed and naturally sink into conversation with Maura about almost anything and everything he could think of. He could feel the date going well and desperately hoped it would stay that way.
Maura
The date with Barry easily made it as one of the best dates she had ever been on. The restaurant he had taken her to was elegant and he had been the perfect gentleman, waiting on her, escorting her. The conversation was diverse and interesting, with intense debate.
Barry had even surprised her with an exceptional knowledge of history. It was now eleven-thirty and Barry had driven her back to her house where they now stood, outside her door. They both stood mere inches apart. Maura looked at him with her chocolate brown eyes
"I had a really great time tonight" she said truthly and Barry smiled, showing off his dazzling, white teeth.
"I'm glad" he stated "I was worried it would be some mediocre date, I mean-" he said, trailing off not really able to sum up his feelings.
"Definately not mediocre" said Maura confidently "Mediocre dates don't make it out the car, never mind to the door". Barry laughed, a little relieved.
"So great dates make it to the front porch"
"No" Maura said. Barry looked at her confused.
"Great dates never end on the front porch" she continued
Barry gave a sly smile "So...I guess the only question left is was this a good date or a great date?"
Maura smiled at him and overcome by the heat of the moment, she gripped her hands on the front of his jacket and pulled him to her
Barry
Barry felt a mixture of emotions as Maura instinctively pulled him towards her. First was shock, as he hadn't expected such an impulsive move from Maura even in their heated moment.
Second came excitement and joy at the realisation of the moment. A moment he had dreamed about for months on end, fantacised about.
Then, finally, as Maura had her lips pressed to his and gently started to pull away, he felt overwhelming desire. Instead of letting her stop he slipped his hand lightly over the small of her back and brought her back to him. Crushing her to him, he deepened the kiss and ran his tongue along her bottom lip. They soon ran out of breath and pulled away slightly so that their foreheads were touching.
Maura smiled and looked up at him "Want to come in?" she said exasperated from their kiss. Barry looked at her wearily
"Are you sure? I mean isn't it a little fast?" he mused
"If I wasn't sure I wouldn't have asked" she replied conidently, making him chuckle.
"Sure"
Maura
Maura fiddled with her keys nervously as she tried to open the door to her house. She had never been an impulsive person but now she couldn't wait fast enough to get her and Barry inside. She opened the door and they both stumbled inside. The house was pitch black as Maura and Barry crept through the hall and Maura groped the wall to find the light switch.
"Ouch!" she yelled as her head collided with the door frame in her kitchen. Finally, she felt the switch and turned it on, she turned around and jumped in fright as she saw Barry stood right behind her, his face showed the compulsion to laugh at her scare.
"God, you scared me" she sighed
"Is your head all right?" he said lifting his hand up to caress her forehead. She glared mockingly at him "I have a headache now, thanks"
At her words he leaned into her " I know a great cure for headaches" he whispered seductively in her ear. He then started tracing kisses along her neck and she closed her eyes. He pushed her up against the wall and pushed his right hand slowly down her waist to her thigh, his fingers playing with the edge of her dress. His other hand wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer and she reacted by sliding her hands around his neck so their bodies were now inextricably entwined together.
Suddenly, he lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist as he carried them to her bedroom. As he carried them she used her hands to loosen his tie and swipe it from his collar, dropping it on the door knob as they passed. They made it to her room and he blindly kicked the door closed.
They both dropped down on the bed and soon they were undressing each other. Their lips collided again and their tongues danced together in a furious passion, both showed no signs of stopping and they continued undisturbed throughout the night.
Barry
Barry sighed as he felt the hot rays of the morning Boston sun shine through the thin white curtains. He groaned in annoyance at the disturbance and opened his eyes slowly, groggy from deep sleep he had received. He felt a weight press lightly down on him and looked to see what.
There he saw the sleeping form of Maura Isles, he smiled as he realised that last night had not been a dream he had visualised. He felt a sense of peace flow through him as he watched Maura, her face half-covered by her unruly morning hair and her expression happy and peaceful. He felt her legs entangled with his and her arms wrapped around his shoulders.
He unconsciously tightened his arms around her waist and trailed his fingers up and down her side. He closed his eyes and savoured the moment. After a while he looked over and saw on Maura's clock that it was ten-past-seven in the morning. He figured it would be time for work soon and reluctantly started to untangle himself from Maura's small frame.
Maura
Maura flinched as she smelled something in the air around her. She couldn't compose with the idea of moving from her comfy, warm bed but the smell was strong around her. It smelled like toast. Breakfast she thought as she heard her stomach rumble.
She extended her arm to the other side of the bed where Barry would be and felt only the soft, plumpness of the pillow. Where was Barry? Tired, she removed herself from the bed and put on a t-shirt and shorts before walking out into the hall and to the kitchen. There she saw Barry walking to the counter and back, buttering toast and cooking eggs. She stood by the doorway for a second before she walked in and up to Barry.
"Hey" he greeted her, smiling
"Hey" she replied perkily, reaching up to give him a peck on the cheek. Instead og letting her pull away he lifted her up a little and deepened the kiss. While kissing Maura's eye drifted to the pan on the stove and saw the eggs were beginning to burn slightly. She pulled herself away, breaking the kiss and smiled
"The eggs are burning"
"Oh!" he groaned and hurriedly turned the nozzle down on the stove. She laughed and walked over to the toaster.
"Hey what are you doing?" he questioned. Maura looked at him weirdly
"I'm about to butter toast" she replied, confused.
"Uh, uh" he said, shaking his head "I'm making breakfast, you just sit down" he ordered nicely and took her hand, guiding her to the table. She sat down and sighed happily.
She was content to watch him nosy about the kitchen, he looked in his comfort zone. As soon as he was finished ands served the breakfast he had prepared he sat down and joined Maura, who watched him with a small smile on her face.
"What?" he laughed under her gaze
"This is nice" she noted
"What is?"
"I've never had a guy cook me breakfast before" she commented
"Really?"
"Really"
"Well enjoy. I make a mean breakfast" he replied, smiling arrogantly so that Maura couldn't help but laugh.
After they had breakfast they both got themselves ready for work and had coffee back in the kitchen. By this time it was eight-ten and they would have to leave soon. maura looked to Barry
"That was the most fun I've had on a date in a long while" she complimented
"So second date?" he gestured smiling
"Oh you bet" she replied. Barry looked down at his coffee for a second
"You know I was thinking" he said quietly "I think we should keep this to ourselves, just for the time being"
"I agree" she said plainly
"Yeah?" he asked
"Yeah...I mean they have enough to joke about already and we could at least have a second date before being harassed by the friends about what, when and where?" she stated
Barry nodded and with that they left the house, walked to their cars and drove to work. Barry driving round the streets a few times to make sure he didn't arrive with Maura and arouse suspicion.
They could handle the onslaught of jokes or questions by their friends when it came, but until then it would be their little secret.
