Authors Note: So I've been watching a lot of Brooklyn Nine-Nine recently, so here's this mess. This will probably be a bunch of Winnara one shots based off Brooklyn Nine-Nine cause I have no self control, so enjoy this little universe thing and just random one-shots set in it
At this point his crush on Kara wasn't unknown, in fact the entire squad knew it. Except for her. She was everything he wanted, caring, kind, and devoted to helping others. Not to mention she was one of the most genuine people she knew. Everything about her was perfect, even when she was chasing down criminals. Their own superhero, having the second most arrests on the squad. Right behind her sister Alex and her partner Maggie. Winn and Kara were getting there though, only 20 behind them. And they made a great team.
He was sitting at his desk, finishing his burrito while he looked over the paperwork of their most recent arrest. Per usual, Kara's detailed report was done flawlessly and he was scrambling to get his part in and finished so they could finish the processing. Sargent James Olsen was sitting at his desk across from him, listening as Eve continued to talk to him about the broken copy machine. Captain Jones was expected to be in late today, having a meeting at City Hall about something that Winn didn't really care to know.
The elevator doors opened, but no one bothered to turn and look at who had entered. That would be their first mistake. Alex and Maggie were both in the interrigation room, trying to get a confession out of one of their newest arrests. Kara was a floor below speaking to uniformed officers about one of the cases that they had helped on. Everyone else was so focused on their work that they didn't look up, Winn included. Until he heard his name being muttered in a dark growl, the barrel of a gun being pushed into the base of his neck.
Slowly he dropped the pen he was holding onto his desk, and his hands came up in surrender. "On your knees." The voice spoke, Winn following the order and moving from his chair to resting on his knees, James pulling his gun as he stood from his chair. "Let him go." His superior ordered the intruder, but that didn't seem to phase him. "You shoot me, I shoot him." Was the only response, Winn swallowing hard as he heard the elevator doors open once again.
And there she was, beautiful as ever. Entering the room, quickly taking in the fact that Winn was on his knees with a gun to his head. Quickly her gun was pulled from her belt and held out at the criminal, Winn's hands shaking as he looked up at her. This is not how he wanted to die, with her not knowing what she meant to him, without getting the chance to know if they were ever meant to be anything more. "You're holding a police detective at gun point, do you really think this is a good idea?" She asked as she slowly entered the room the rest of the way, eyes never leaving the man behind Winn.
"You don't get it, he ruined my life. He arrested my brother, causing my mother to fall into depression and us losing our house. We lost everything because he couldn't stay out of my personal life." The gun was pushed harder into the base of his neck, Winn holding back the groan that wanted to escape his lips. He remembered being told to always comply in these situations, that someone could get hurt if they didn't stay calm. They needed a plan, and right now it didn't look like they really had one.
"Look I'm sorry for what happened to you, but shooting him isn't going to fix anything." James tried as he took a small step forward, trying to get closer to Winn. "Don't come any closer." The gun was moved to rest next to his temple, Winn locking eyes with Kara. They were always in sync, that was their thing.
Together they came up with a silent plan, Winn closing his eyes as he counted to three. Reaching up he grabbed onto the criminal's wrist, knowing that this was going to cause a reaction from him. He didn't have a good vantage point, there was no way he was going to get the gun from the other. But at least he could distract him until Kara could run over, and that's exactly what he did. As the two struggled for a moment, the gun was slammed into the side of Winn's head, causing him to fall to the floor. Kara took the chance and quickly started in on the fight.
It only took her ten seconds, two good punches, and quick reflexes to have the perp at gun point, his hands in the air. James took over, reading him his rights as he cuffed the intruder. Kara nodded as the pair left the room, looking over at her best friend as he lay on the floor. Lowering herself to his level, Kara smiled at him. "How you feeling?" She asked, helping him move into a sitting position.
"Like I got hit by a truck." He replied with a soft smile, his head pounding from the force of the blow. "Thanks for saving my life." He chuckled, their eyes meeting for a moment. He could have sworn that he felt something in that moment, that maybe she was feeling the same way he was. But he didn't know, and he wasn't sure if he would ever have the guts to be honest with her. "Of course, you're my partner and best friend. I don't want to picture my life without you in it." The words caused another smile on his face, and for a moment he wished that he could freeze time. Two best friends sitting on the floor at 78th precinct of the National City Police Department.
