4. Poker

He knew he needed to stop. But sometimes the stress got to the best of him and he always ended back up at the table making bets he knows he will win but the outcome will end up with him running from pissed gamblers. Lately Toby has been doing pretty good at staying away from the tables and making little bets against the rest of the team to keep the urge down.

But tonight the stress became too much. With the last case he realized how much he actually cared about Happy when she got taken for a while. Of course she ended up saving herself and escaping the terrorists all on her own, but Toby didn't know what he would do if she didn't make it back. Happy could probably whip almost anyones ass who tried to mess with her. Some how he was the only person who could flirt with her and leave with no injuries or bruises, and he liked being the only one.

So after everyone went home Toby went to a local gambling place he learned of a few months ago. Entering with $100 he knew he would be able to read anyone and grow the money exponentially. He played a few rounds and as time went by the other players started to catch on to the shrink and demanded that they get their money back. Long story short, Toby made it out with no money and many bruises.

Knowing he needed help, he went to the one person who he thought had the chance of helping him at this hour. After walking for twenty minutes, he reached Happy's apartment. Toby lightly knocked on her door. Not hearing anything he decided to knock one more time then leave if there was no response.

Through the door he could hear Happy yell out, "Go away Matt! I'm not interested in a date." She started to open the door while saying "I will break your arm if you come and ask me one more… Toby?"

"Oh, you don't have to break my arm. Someone else already did it for you." Toby joked.

"Oh my gosh, Toby. What did you get yourself into this time. Go sit at the counter. I'll go get the first aid kit."

Toby did as he was told and sat on one of the stools. He had only been to Happy's apartment two other times. Once when he tagged along when she had to pick up some parts she left at home and one other time when she had gotten her car wrecked from her driving.

This was the first time he looked around and noticed the apartment in detail. There was matching furniture that matched the brown walls. The living room consisted of a couch, coffee table and a TV on a stand. The place was a lot homier than Toby thought Happy would have chosen.

Happy came into the room with the first aid kit. "Look at me." She said. Toby tilted his head up and she traced his face with her fingers. "Wow this looks bad. I'm no doctor, but I can try to fix some of this."

"Thanks Happy."

"No problem, but what the hell made you think, 'oh I should go gamble against people twice my size.' You can be such an idiot." Happy told Toby with a little anger in her tone.

"I know. It's not good. The stress got to me and I needed something to calm me down." Toby looked down to hide his face.

"Hey… you have support. What made you so stressed? Lately you have done a pretty good job with stopping you gambling habit."

"Well it was mostly this last case… and you getting taken. I know I can sometimes be a bit of an ass…"

"Sometimes?" Happy joked.

"Let me finish." Toby told her taking in a breath he continued. "If you would have been taken for any longer I don't know what I would have done without you. I may not try to show it but I do need you Happy. I will always need you."

Happy moved her hand to his cheek and held it there. "I'm not going anywhere." She said and then leaned in and kissed him. When she pulled away a little out of breath she said. "I will always be here. Maybe you can change your addiction. Next time you're stressed don't go to the tables. Come to me."

"That sounds nice. Maybe I will have to get stressed more often." Toby teased and then leaned in one more time."

After a minute Happy pulled away slightly. "Why did you come to me to patch you up? You're a doctor. You could have done it better without messing up."

Toby gave a light laugh. "Well maybe I just wanted you to be the one to fix me, and you did a great job. Better than I thought a mechanic could do. Maybe you have learned a little from me."

"Maybe a little." Happy said kissing Toby one more time.
