Anonymous asked: Gail nd Holly r dating and the get into a stupid argument and Gail's insecurities creep in and she tells her she knows she's out of her leage and then Holly's heart breaks 'cause she didn't know bout that and she tells her how much she loves her.
"Gail! I've asked you a hundred times not to leave your stuff on the stairs! I nearly broke my neck this morning on your utility belt. I almost seriously injured myself on the thing that's supposed to help you protect people!" Holly told her girlfriend angrily as she poured herself a cup of coffee.
"What do you mean 'supposed to protect people'?" Gail replied in an even tone.
"What?" Holly asked, exasperated.
"You said you 'almost seriously injured yourself on the thing that's supposed to help me protect people'. Do I not actually do it?" Holly could hear the bite in Gail's tone.
"Of course you do! That's not what this is about. You're an amazing cop, you know I think that. I'm asking you not to leave things where they become a tripping hazard. This isn't Mario Kart."
"So now I'm a bad police officer and my video games are stupid? Good to know you feel that way." Gail turned around and headed up the stairs to their bedroom.
"Gail Peck! Do not put words in my mouth! I didn't say anything like that- what are you doing?" she asked as she watched the blonde put some clothes into a duffel bag.
"It's okay, Hol. I get it. We both knew you're out of my league. I'll just go before it gets ugly" she said, bitterness laced her voice.
'What?!" Holly said for the second time in as many minutes. She tossed the bag aside and grabbed Gail's hands. She couldn't believer after all their time together Gail could possibly feel that way.
"Gail, I don't know why you think that. You remember when my niece came over for the weekend? I wanted to take her to the theatre?" she asked the blonde who still wouldn't meet her eyes. "You made us go to the ROM instead and she loved the dinosaurs."
"That's because they're awesome" Gail mumbled.
"Right? But I would have made the weekend suck. Remember when I slipped in the park jogging and sprained my ankle? You knew something was wrong because I never took that long on my run. You came and found me and you carried me almost a kilometer back to the car. Or that time my cousin made a snide remark at dinner that about how I'd never have 'real' children? And you ripped him a new asshole in front of my entire family when all I could do was swallow the hurt he caused?" She lifted Gail's chin so she could see her favourite colour: the cerulean of Gail's eyes.
"He certainly apologized the next day" Gail responded, smugly.
"See? You are so amazing in so many ways. I wish you saw yourself like I see you." She wrapped her arms around Gail's waist.
"I'm sorry" Gail said into the crook of Holly's neck. "I've had an awful week at work my mother has been riding me about the next detective rotation. I'm sorry I took it out on you."
"It's okay, but can you just tell me next time instead of doing this?" Gail smiled and nodded. Holly could feel it against her skin.
"So you'll stay?" Holly asked.
"I'll stay"
"Good. Cause I kinda like having you around" Holly whispered into Gail's ear.
"I kinda like you too, Lunchbox" she heard the blonde murmur back.
