This is just a story that I've had bouncing around in my head. I'm posting as I go, and I know it's not my best writing… but enjoy!
Flack awoke late in the morning lying feeling refreshed and as if he was tethered to the bed. He looked around the covers and noticed that even though he was lying over to one side of the bed, Lindsay was draped diagonally across the bed and his legs and chest. Flack looked at Lindsay and smiled seeing Lindsay sleeping peacefully. He didn't get up, as was his original intent, but instead lay under the covers and then slowly inched closer to Lindsay until her body was firmly pressed against his.
Lindsay felt Flack's arm tighten around her waist, and mumbled, "'Morning."
"Good morning, Linds." Flack started to get up, but Lindsay's body wrapped around his even tighter, keeping him in bed. "You're still hogging my side of the bed."
Lindsay didn't say anything; she simply smiled and nuzzled her head deeper into Flack's chest, her hands lazily drawing circles on his chest.
After a moment Flack finally said, "You know, Mac is gonna send Danny or Stella to come and break the door down soon if we don't get going."
"Probably." Lindsay said, trailing kisses from Flack's lips, down his chest. In one quick movement, Flack flipped Lindsay onto her back and took control of the kissing. After a minute he stopped.
"Come on." Flack said, freeing himself from Lindsay's grasp. "We have cases to solve."
Lindsay sighed. "Oh, alright."
Climbing out of bed, Lindsay headed for Flack's shower. Flack watched in awe for a moment and then stood up and started to follow her into the bathroom.
"And just where do you think you're going?" Lindsay said, turning to face Flack and stopping him in the doorway.
"We can save time by showering together." Flack said with grin.
"What?" Lindsay chuckled in amusement.
"Aw, come on. It's not like we haven't done it before. In the four months that we've been together, we've taken nine showers together – we've just never done it to save time. Please?" He stuck out his bottom lip and tried his best to look pitiful.
"You're a freak, you know that? I can't believe you keep track of things like that." Lindsay joked.
"But I'm your freak and you love me." Flack said, stepping closer to Lindsay.
"Come on, lover boy…like you said, we're late for work." Lindsay smiled as she pulled him into the shower.
Traffic wasn't too bad as Flack and Lindsay made their way to work. Flack was driving, having decided to drop Lindsay off at the lab before heading in to check his assignments. With the light traffic and the time saved in the shower, it looked as if the duo was going to be on time for their shifts.
"You were brilliant with your shower idea this morning, we're going to be on time." Lindsay said triumphantly from the passenger's seat. A mischievous grin spread over her face. "Maybe we should do that more often."
Flack smiled from the driver's seat. His smile quickly turned to a scowl as he started talking. "Yeah, we should definitely do it again." Flack said, his voice now dripping with sarcasm. "It was great. Right up to the point where you doused me with their girly green apple crap that you use. Now I'm gonna smell like an orchard all day."
"Do you really know what an orchard smells like?" Lindsay asked skeptically.
"Whatever. All I know is that anyone standing within two feet of me is going to tease me about smelling girly." Flack complained.
"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, cowboy." Lindsay said with a smile.
"Whatever you say. Here you are. See you later?" Flack said, pulling the car up in the lab's parking lot.
"Thanks. Maybe I'll see you sooner than later." Lindsay said, leaning over towards Flack and capturing his lips with hers.
"Don't worry about me too much." Flack said, his voice a mix of sarcasm and sincerity.
"Well, I'd rather be with you and worry, than not be with you and not worry." Lindsay said warmly, but seriously. She leaned over and grazed Flack's lips quickly with hers before opening the car door. "I'll see you around."
Lindsay hopped out of Flack's car and all but bounded into the lab, leaving Flack to chuckle at her excitement before he headed to work.
