A/N: Thanks for all the amazing reviews, guys! I hope you'll enjoy this chapter. It's kinda short, but orange was a difficult chapter, and I hope I did okay. Thanks to SallyJetson for beta'ing!

Oh, by the way, this series will be a series of oneshots, so this doesn't follow immediately after red.

Chapter two - Orange

Her shift had been over for hours. She was just killing time, running DNA samples from old cases, rearranging her stuff on her desk multiple times, doing anything to hang around the lab until Danny's shift ended. Last night he had been called to a crime scene at midnight, and he'd had to leave her alone in their apartment. She hadn't gotten any sleep after he left, and now she was tired. Tired, but determined to wait for her boyfriend before she went home.

"Lindsay?"

She turned around and saw Mac approaching her.

"Hey Mac," she greeted him.

"Still working?"

She blushed. "Yeah, well, I'm just finishing up some stuff."

Mac glanced at his watch.

"Your shift has been over for two hours, Lindsay. You can go home."

"Sure. I'll, eh, I'll just get my stuff," she said, not wanting to tell Mac the real reason why she was still at work.

Walking past him she told him goodbye and headed towards the elevators. She didn't go to the exit, though, but pushed the button to the roof. She would wait till Danny's shift ended.

-------------------------------

Looking at the clock for the seventh time in ten minutes, Danny was relieved to see his shift was finally almost over. He had only five more minutes to go, so he got his cell phone out of his pocket and sent Lindsay a text.

Where R U? I'm almost done. Dannyxx

I'm on the roof. Montana

He thought about why she would be on the roof for a few seconds, and then walked to the elevators. He would find out in a few minutes.

-------------------------------

As Danny stepped out of the elevator he was immediately hit by a wave of cold air. Lindsay was looking down at the endless streets and lights that were so typically New York City. She always thought that, even though the skyline didn't beat the beauty of a wheat field, it did have some kind of beauty about it and she would never get tired of looking at it. The only sounds that were heard up here were the wind and soft sounds of cars and claxons. Compared to the rest of New York City, this was a very peaceful place, especially in the evening, like now.

Lindsay didn't hear Danny as he snuck up behind her, and she let out a squeal when he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Relax, it's just me," Danny whispered in her ear, and she snuggled deeper into his embrace. It was cold outside, but he always warmed her from the inside.

"Why didn't you go home?"

"I wanted to wait for you. It isn't quite home when you're not there."

He smiled.

"And here I was thinking that when I got home you would've made dinner."

She laughed and smacked his arm.

"I swear, there's only two things on your mind, Messer. Food and sex."

"Nah, actually there's just one thing on my mind."

She turned around so she faced him, a questioning look on her face.

"You."

He kissed her and she smiled against his lips, then parted hers slightly. After a few moments they pulled apart.

"You're such a romantic."

"I try."

She yawned.

"Tiring shift?"

"I didn't get much sleep last night."

"Really? And I wasn't even there," he grinned.

"Haha, very funny." She couldn't help the smile that spread across her face. "But that's my point. You weren't there."

"Aw, you can't sleep without me, Montana?"

"Yeah, well, don't let it boost your ego too much, I heard you whining to Stella the other day when I had been called to a crime scene overnight. 'Stel, I'm tired, Stel, what time is it? I'm hungry, Stella. Let's take a break, please, I'm tired'," she tried to fake Danny's accent, but failed miserably.

Danny laughed. "I do not talk like that."

"No, you can do a great imitation of a Montana accent. Sorry, I forgot," she said sarcastically, rolling her eyes.

He just smiled.

"What do you say, shall we go home now? It's freaking cold up here."

She nodded and they left, leaving the cold roof empty.

Once in Danny's car, Lindsay switched the radio to a country station.

"Hey! What are you doing? Put it back!" Danny whined.

"Just making sure there is some good music here," she responded innocently, emphasizing the word 'good'.

Danny pouted, but decided to leave it. Actually, he didn't care what they were listening to. He just enjoyed being with Lindsay. Looking at her, he thought that moving in together was the best decision he'd ever made, even though he had been a bit hesitant before making it. Moving in together had sounded so… permanent. He now realized, though, that permanent wasn't always a bad thing. He loved that he woke up to her face every morning, and that they took turns in making dinner. Grinning, he turned his eyes away from her and started the car.

-------------------------

"Welcome home, Montana," Danny said as he opened the door for her, making her smile.

"Thanks. You still want me to make dinner?"

"Nah, you are tired. You should get some sleep, before one of us gets called to a scene. I'll just cook something myself."

"I'll help you. Sleep can wait," she winked at him and walked into the kitchen. He grinned and walked after her, catching her around the waist and lifting her up, making her squeal.

"Danny!"

"What?" he said innocently. "You were in my way."

"Yeah, right. Walking around me is so difficult."

He kissed her, silencing her.

"Forgive me?" he mumbled against her lips. She smiled and pulled back.

"Of course."

She laid her head on his chest, wrapped her arms around him and yawned. He looked down at her face and decided she was going to sleep before anything else.

"Let's get you to bed."

She nodded tiredly as he lifted her again and carried her to their bedroom. He lay with her for a while, knowing she wouldn't sleep if he wasn't beside her. They were like that now; they couldn't do things without the other there. They didn't want to, either.

As Lindsay dozed off, the first snow of this winter started falling, creating a white curtain in the sky. By the time everything was covered with a thin white sheet of snow, she was fast asleep in his arms. He wouldn't want it any other way. Looking outside, he saw that the sunset had colored the sky orange. He smiled. It was beautiful.

A/N: The next chapter, Yellow, might take a while. My holiday's over so I'm busy with school and all... But I'll try to get it done as soon as possible
