That You Survived Archie
The team ran into Archie during a case, and as soon as he found out Parker had finally opened herself up to someone and saw the uncharacteristically trusting gleam in her eye when she looked at the dark haired man next to her, he started to back Sterling to the wall with a hard warning glare. And Sterling being Sterling didn't budge an inch.
Archie fixed him with a stare as cold as a glacier. "What exactly are your intentions with Parker?"
"Personal space, mate. And I'm not going to hurt her. I would die first." Sterling answered the unspoken question.
Parker sighed and looked between the two narrow-eyed males. "Sterling, meet Archie. Archie, meet Sterling. Sterling, Archie's kind of like a dad so don't shoot him or stab him, I don't wanna have to kill you…" Her boyfriend (the term still felt foreign on her tongue) had gotten worriedly good at knife throwing.
Ignoring Parker, they glared each other down for several long moments before Archie relented and backed off. Sterling watched the man leave, clearly assuming he'd won with no idea that Archie'd be keeping a close eye on them. Parker could only grin.
