A/N: This was inspired by a promo pic for 4x18 Penalty Phase, which showed Sharon, Andy, Fritz, and Taylor toasting with paper cups in the murder room. This fic picks up after the picture would have been taken.
Stolen Moment by Kate Rosen
As the conversation between Chiefs Howard and Taylor died down, Sharon casually excused herself then motioned for Andy to follow her in what she hoped was a discreet manner. After waiting a beat, he dutifully followed her, trying not to make it too obvious, but everyone else in the murder room seemed to be so occupied in their own conversations that no one noticed them slip away.
He met her out in the deserted hallway, where she coyly leaned up against the wall, one leg bent as her hands rested behind her back. Bracing himself against the wall with one of his arms, he hovered over her before asking, "Was there something that you needed, Captain?"
"I just needed a minute," she responded, reaching out to loosely pull on his tie until his lips were level with hers. She paused for just a moment to smile before closing the last distance between them and kissing him softly.
He pulled back after a few seconds and raised an eyebrow. "What happened to that 'no PDA at work rule?'" he quipped, not that he was in any way bothered by her sudden urge to grab him and kiss him in the middle of a work day.
She merely hummed in response, grinning at the man before her and absentmindedly fiddling with his tie. "Well, I thought I'd make an exception, seeing as it is Christmas and all."
"See, now I'm so confused, because, I mean, what about the other holidays?" he began, counting on his fingers for emphasis. "Let's see there's New Year's, Valentine's Day, then there's Easter, and my birthday's coming–"
"Andy!" she cut him off in a firm whisper. "Just shut up and kiss me before someone realizes we're missing, would you?"
He certainly didn't need to be asked twice. Cupping her cheek, he bent down to capture her lips. Just when he thought he had her all figured out, she turned around and surprised him. That was fine by him, though. He would continue to muddle through. As long as she kept letting him kiss her, he could survive just about anything life threw his way.
