Thank you to those that reviewed.
It had just begun to rain when Drake and JJ walked into the diner. They looked around and smiled. It was a nice little place with a quaint atmosphere. They sat at a table near a window. A waiter came up and placed a menu in front both of them. "Good afternoon gentlemen. My name is Derek and I will be you waiter. Would you care to order some drinks?"
"I'll have a diet coke." Drake said.
"I'll take a Sprite." JJ told him. Derek wrote it down.
"Ok that's on diet coke and one sprite. I'll be back in a minute with your drinks." Drake nodded and Derek left. JJ looked around him at the people chattering on with one another while eating their lunch. He felt this was a nice homey place. He looked at Drake who was staring at the rain.
Drake was a rather handsome guy in his own way. Could what Dee said be true? Could Drake actually like him like that? More importantly how did he feel about Drake? He liked him. Drake was a good partner in the field and a great friend. He was a caring man who always had his friend's backs. Maybe their friendship could turn into love. Drake felt JJ's eyes on him and turn to meet his gaze. "Something wrong JJ?"
JJ was shaken from his thoughts. "Huh? …Oh no. I'm fine" He picked up his menu and began to read it trying to draw attention away from the huge blush on his face. It didn't work. Drake saw but decided not to say anything. He smiled and opened up his menu. Derek came back with their drinks and placed them on the table along with two straws. "Are you gentlemen ready to order?"
JJ ordered himself a hamburger while Drake got some chicken (A.N.//I had no idea what to put so I just put hamburger and chicken since it was the first thing that popped into my head). Derek waiter jotted down their orders and left the table taking the menus with him.
JJ sighed to himself and looked out the window to watch the rain. It was starting to let up. Drake sat fidgeting a little wondering what to say to JJ. 'What do I say to him? Should I just come out and tell him how I feel? What if he hates me? He has chased after Dee for so long what if he doesn't want a relationship?' Drake sighed. JJ turned his attention away from the rain and looked at Drake. "You alright?"
"Hm…Yeah. Um…Dee told me about what happened between you two when y'all where in the academy." Drake suddenly felt stupid for bringing that up. 'Why did you say that you idiot? Why, why, why? Now he is going to be upset with you!!'
"He did huh?" JJ didn't seem upset, which surprised Drake a little.
"Yeah. He said that you cheated on him."
"I did."
"Why?" JJ sighed and stared at the table surface. Drake again regretted talking. Obviously it pained JJ to think about what happened. "You don't have to tell me. I know it's none of my business. I shouldn't have brought it up. I'm sorry." Drake mentally smacked himself.
"It's ok Drake. I never completely got over him until earlier when I was talking with him. Dee was hardly around anymore at the time. He got so caught up in studying that I got lonely. I was just young and stupid and I had a really big sexual desire."
Drake stared at the figure across from him. He had never that of JJ as fragile but at that moment he looked liked he was. JJ was a pretty tough guy and could put up a good fight when needed but now he looked defenseless. Drake searched for the right words and when he found them he took JJ's hand in his and gave it a gentle squeeze. "It will be ok buddy. You'll find the right person someday. Who knows they could be right under your nose."
JJ looked up at him and felt his face get a little hot as a small blush snuck up on his face. He gave Drake a small smile remember what Dee had told him earlier. Maybe thing could work out with Drake. "Thanks Drake."
Drake smiled at him and released his hand. "No prob." Derek at that moment chose to return with their food. "Here you are gentlemen. One hamburger with onion rings and one plate of chicken. Enjoy."
They thanked him and he went off to attend to some other customer. They ate their lunch talking about work and making jokes about some of their coworkers. They finished their meal on a happy note. Drake paid for the food and gave Derek a tip and the two left.
"That was pretty good." JJ commented as the two got in car.
"Yeah. We'll have to come back again." Drake started the car and they took off heading back to the precinct.
"Thanks for lunch Drake."
"No prob JJ. Anytime." They drove in silence for a time until Drake spoke.
"Say JJ?"
"Yeah Drake?" Drake searched his mind for the rights words.
"What do you think about me?"
JJ cocked a brow in confusion. "What do you mean?"
Drake sighed. "I mean what do you see when you look at me?" JJ thought about this for a moment. What did he see when he looked at Drake? He didn't really know. Drake was a good man. JJ just continued to stare at him till Drake snapped him out of his thoughts.
"JJ?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah. I just…what I see in you is a kind man and a great friend. I see someone looking for someone whom he can love and be happy with, someone he can trust, and someone who won't break his heart." Drake sighed and a small grin played on his face.
"I am really that obvious?" It was more of a statement than a question. JJ chuckled a little. "No. Not really. I just know you."
"Well what would you see if you didn't know me?"
"A tall handsome man who looks kind and genuine." Drake smiled at that. He sighed and his smiled faded. He thought to himself for a minute before asking one final question. "Do you think I will ever find the right person?"
JJ studied him for a minute then smiled. "Yes I do. Believe me. You will find him/her." Drake grinned. "Thanks JJ."
"No prob." The rest of the drive to the precinct was silent. Once there the two filed out of the car and started to head in. JJ kept getting the feeling he was being wash. They reached the door to precinct when all of a sudden two gunshots were heard and people started screaming and running all over the place. "What the Hell?!" Drake pulled out his gun and turned around in a flash looking for where the shot came from but couldn't see anything. He turned to his partner who just stood there staring at the door. He cocked a brow and stepped toward JJ. "JJ you alright?" JJ turned to Drake with a sick look on his face. "Drake…" JJ fainted.
"JJ!!!!" Drake caught him before he hit the ground. He had one hand behind his back on with his other he was brushing strands of hair from JJ's face. "JJ? JJ please wake up!" Drake suddenly felt something wet and slimy on his hand. He put his free hand behind JJ's back and removed his other one to look at it. There was blood all over his hand "Oh My God!!!" JJ had been shot.
