Scratching the Surface
A/N: So, this is basically one big drabble drop. Through each of these I'm trying to convey the deeper Huddy relationship that we don't get to see, but know is there. I wanted to catch them underneath it all on a more emotional level where they really understand, support and care for one another. Let my know what you think please! Enjoy!

Lollipop pride
She spots him from her office riffling through the lollipop basket at the nurses' station. Her pen, poised over the latest papers demanding her signature, pauses as her eyes rake over his movements and dance in amusement. She knows he is searching for a red one, his favorite, the ones she sometimes likes to take the extra few seconds to hide all the way at the bottom coincidentally right before he's scheduled for clinic duty. When he has really pissed her off she will steal them all and hide them in her desk drawer, but he has been good today (so far).
Today she takes a brief moment to immerse herself in the way he wrinkles his forehead in worry, rooting deeper and more frantically, until finally his treasure is unearthed. Then with all the joy of a 5-year-old finding his lost puppy, pops the treat into his mouth and saunters away. She allows a soft smile to kick at her lips as she finishes signing her name. Sometimes she likes to make him angry, and derives great satisfaction in doing so, but she also likes to make him happy, and swells a little with pride that she can do so, even if he'll never know it.
