These one-shots are not in any particular order, just remember. But they show some way of them developing as characters.

Chapter 2: Time

It was the first time that he had cried since Red John was killed.

This time, it wasn't because of happiness. Problems were emerging in their relationship, bad things. They were accusing each other of being unfaithful to one another, but really they were just scared because the next step after the one they were on was marriage, and neither was quite ready for that.

He had taken his wedding ring off after Red John died. He had avenged the deaths of his loved ones, and now he could live on with his life. But… why was he not ready?

He stood in the men's toilet, crying, unsure of what to do next. They were on a special date, just the two of them. Jisbon, as the unit had grown to call them.

He stared at his reflection in the mirror, his red-rimmed eyes and unruly curly hair, and chuckled weakly. What did he have to be afraid of? There was nothing wrong with loving Teresa. In fact, he had loved her almost since they had first met.

Jane was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't feel the slim arms go around his waist. He looked up abruptly but relaxed when he saw it was only Teresa.

"It's alright, dear." She whispered, while her lips ran down her neck, smattering little kisses all over his collarbone. "I'm not ready yet, either. It's okay."
