A/N: I got inspiration for this one earlier. There's nothing like a pack of jelly beans to get you in the mood for writing stories! :D Love 'em!
Disclaimer: Do you think Bruno likes jelly beans? If so, maybe we could trade… Until then, it's still not mine… :(
J for Jelly beans
"Hey, open up!"
"Huh? Wha- AH! JANE! WHAT WAS THAT?"
"Jeez, calm down! It's just a jelly bean. You were meant to catch it in your mouth!" Lisbon shot him a quizzical look and leant down to pick up the object in question. "See? Wow, talk about an overreaction!" he scoffed.
"Oh, hush. It's not every day I get a goddamn lump of coloured sugar thrown at me, is it? I mean even for you, this is a new low! Pelting me with sweets when I walk into the room… tsk, tsk, Patrick Jane." She pouted at him as her hair fell down and framed her face, making her look adorable.
"Oh, you love it really. Jelly beans are your favourites aren't they? Closely followed by humbugs, I'm guessing?" He raised an eyebrow, awaiting a reply.
"Well, yeah, but…"
"Well, stop complaining then!" he chuckled. Leaning back into the plush, white couch, he jammed his hand back into the packet to claim his next 'victim'. After a few seconds of unnecessary rustling, he let out an exaggerated childish whine. "Oooooh! There's none left!" He stuck put his lower lip, flashing Lisbon his puppy dog eyes in the process.
"What?" she smirked. "I haven't got any. You shouldn't have thrown your last one at me, should you?" But his face just melted her heart, and she laughed. From her desk drawer, she pulled out a new bag, chock full of jelly beans. His face lit up immediately.
Several hours later, Jane was sleeping lazily on his couch, when there came a loud cry of surprise. Jane's eyes flew open, to see Leroche lying sprawled out on the floor…surrounded by jelly beans.
"Oops…" he muttered underneath his breath. Cho, Rigsby and Van Pelt sat there staring, looking horrified but each secretly trying to supress a smile. Seconds later, Lisbon came running out of her office to see what all the commotion was about.
"Boss!" she cried out. Gently easing him back onto his feet, she shot Jane a glare. But he didn't miss the small smile that was playing on her lips.
"Agent Lisbon! What is all this about?" he asked, outraged as he motioned towards the sea of small sweets. "There shall be consequences for this!" he shouted when the three younger agents started giggling silently. Before Lisbon could do or say anything, Leroche turned rather uneasily on his heel and walked out of the bullpen, avoiding the beans on the floor.
Suddenly the bullpen erupted into a wave of raucous laughter. Even Lisbon started giggling hysterically!
"You owe me…Big time." she said to Patrick, trying to be cross. But another wave of giggles escaped her lips as she saw his face. They smiled knowingly at each other when they saw the packet of jelly beans, split open on the floor next to the couch and lying just underneath Jane's hand.
He winked at her. She just chuckled and shook her head in amusement. Blowing her a kiss, he laid back down and half closed his eyes. Through the small line of vision he had, he watched her roll her eyes and begin to manoeuvre her way across the beans, back to the safety of her office.
Oh my days, this is sooo OOC! However, I would very much like to see something like that happen to Leroche in the show. Can you tell I'm not a massive fan of his? :D I LOOOOVE jelly beans! A virtual jelly bean or two to everyone who reviews!
