Amy watched as Jake walked into her apartment. She had not been expecting things to get this far today. When she had woken up in the morning the only thing she had planned was to ask Jake why things had changed. She had not expected what he had said; in fact she was expecting some form of rejection at least. Instead he had done the one thing Jake Peralta was definitely not known for, he had expressed his feelings. This had led to this, him walking into her apartment. Gosh she hoped it was clean, she had been in such a rush this morning her apartment could be in any state. Taking a deep breath she followed Jake through the door.

It wasn't the first time Jake had been here but he still looked it over with the eyes of a detective. He moved into the middle of her flat in two strides and flung himself down on her coach. Amy followed him gingerly and sat down on the other end of the coach. Tucking her knees up to her chest she laid her head back. The effect of the day starting to wear of on her and she couldn't help but close her eyes just for a second before Jake spoke up.

"Hey Amy we were supposed to be talking not sleeping. All though if you wanted to move to the bedroom I would not complain."

"Seriously Jake, you can't tell me you're not absolutely shattered after today. My adrenaline was constantly high and now it is taking its effect. I hate stupid haunted houses only you could have got us stuck in one."

"We were not stuck in a haunted house. We just were yet to find the exit. Come on Amy you can't deny that's like our best stake out story yet."

"I don't know I'm pretty sure we have had better ones."

Jake had moved himself closer, it wasn't a significant movement but Amy still noticed it.

"Like which ones Amy. Do you really think you can think of a best one of our stakeout? I'm pretty sure when you think about it this one was by far the best."

"I quite liked the one on our worst date. That was a pretty good stake out."

"That was a good stake out but I am standing my ground. I would do that stake out over and over again."

Jake was now right next to her. Shifting her wait Amy turned and crossed her legs so she was now facing Jake. Whose large smile seemed to still be growing?

"I am not saying there are parts of it I wouldn't want to, I am saying in a haunted house weren't my favourite bit."

Jake let out another big smile and leaned his head back against the sofa.

"Hey you just told me no sleeping, that we needed to talk?"

"Okay, Then we should start talking. Come on Amy we have been both putting it off. So let's just start. I meant everything I said back there, I have for months, especially with the date two months ago. I just couldn't get the thought out of my head."

"Jake I get it; I understand how you feel as I feel the exact same way. I have for so long and tried to hide it and focus my attention just on my job but I couldn't."

"Wow the great Amy Santiago care's about something besides work. I am shocked."

Amy hit the back of Jakes arm.

"Seriously Peralta nothing serious can ever come from your mouth can it?"

Jake opened his mouth ready to reply but instead his phone began to ring.

"Agent Peralta."

Amy watched as he talked, his jaw muscles tense as he ran his hand through is hair. Clearly frustrated at whatever was being said down the phone. His theory was matched when he let out a sigh.

"Okay sir I will call Santiago and we will be right there."

He flung the phone down onto the sofa in frustration.

"I take it we have a case?"

"Yep, murder in an apartment block. What makes it even worse is that we got door duty."

"You are kidding me! How did we get door duty we had it last time!"

"Stupid Boyle getting there first."

Amy was starting to get up from the sofa but was pulled back down by Jakes arm. He started to tickle her right in her weak spot. How he knew that she had no idea; after goofily laughing and acting like a drunken child they heavily got up from the sofa. Amy grabbed them some snack bars and filled up some coffee flasks. These doors to doors get very tedious and she had the feeling it was going to be a long night.

"Come on Peralta let's go back to work, again."

"We only got off like an hour ago, how is that even fair?"

"We knew the job description when we joined Jake. Besides how bad can this door to door be?"

"You really want me to answer that question?"

"No, let's just get started as soon as possible."

With that they left, Jake glancing back at the small apartment which was more like a home. Even if it looked like an old ladies house. He couldn't hope but wish to see it a lot more often. Something he never thought he would think. He smiled as he watched Amy close the door.
