A/N: Hi, I am new to the person of interest fanbase. I realize a lot of people ship/shipped Carter/Reese,I just don't see it all that much. I do however see a little something between Reese/Shaw and if you don't like it don't read it. If you do read it I sincerely hope that you enjoy it. Read&Review ;).

Purely Physical
It wasn't the emotion that brought them together, all they simply needed was a way to get rid of the stress, pain and regrets. They found one, a more physical one to be exact. It all started by accident, they were filled with anger and went for a drink, that drink turned into 6, 7, 8, 9 and before they knew it they were drunk. They got back to Reese's place and before they were even in the door mouths were on mouths, skin was on managing to get in the door, but when they did it became a struggle for dominance and Shaw had managed to be pushed against the wall. It was rough, raw but real. And Real was something they rarely managed to get. It was simple and easy and it just fit. It was as if they knew what the other needed and fulfilled it. And come morning when Shaw woke up she left without another word. They saw each other later that day and acted no different than usual.
It became a regular occurrence, some may thing of it as friends with benefits, but it wasn't any kind of relationship. It was comfort, need, stress relief no more. It caused no problems in the field, no jealousy and it made them better they were more comfortable to go undercover in more romantic ways, but it made the "Keep it out of the Office" rule a wee bit more complicated. They didn't talk in the normal sense, they used their 'activities' as a way to tell the other what they needed. If they were in need of comfort the other would know. If they need to relieve anger and stress the other would know. If they needed to be in control the other would know. They used each other, but it worked.
It was good and it worked, until the time came where they had to face what was deep inside them, something they blamed on lust. Shaw had been captured, only this time they were almost sure she wouldn't return. Reese didn't accept it and he managed to get in and save her. When they returned they went to his place as per usual. the two of them entered but it wasn't a battle of dominance this time, instead it was intense and equal and almost loving. When they made it to his bedroom it wasn't clothes being ripped off it was slow and tortuous but toe curling good. It was different and they seemed like they weren't trying to figure out what the other one needed and just did what felt right. when the two of them came together the muttered the other's name. not "shaw" or "Reese" but "Sam" and "John". when John woke up the next morning she wasn't there and he sighed as he layed backdown, and rubbed his face in his hands, but when he heard the door open he drew his weapon only to be greeted by a smirking Shaw.
"You gonna shoot me after i bought you breakfast?" She asked
"Only if you didn't get me my kind of Coffee." He replied
"Exactly how you like it" she handed him the cup and they shared as smile, they continued the day business as usual. Except for one thing, they managed to smile a bit more.
