it seems like the Motive fandom is almost extinct :( so I'm dropping this on FF as well as on AO3.
Flynn/Vega and their lovely dynamic.
If you were any shorter...
They were canvassing the neighbourhood. Which in this case had meant methodically making their way through a Friday afternoon crowd in the west wing of a shopping mall. Angie huffed in irritation as yet another bypasser knocked into her shoulder and sent her bumping into her partner. Vega was methodically scanning the clusters of shoppers coming their way and yet somehow still managed to catch her arm just in time.
"Careful there, partner." His eyes left the crowd for a brief second to check if she was okay.
"Thanks." she mumbled, but he was already distracted by the endless stream of shoppers.
"Could you show me the sketch again?" His hand left her arm and took the folded paper from her. Briefly he glanced at the sketch.
"So, according to our witness this is Mr. Average." Angie glanced at the description they had gotten and shook her head. "We're looking for someone who'stall, broad, muscled and good-looking. Since when isthataverage?" She mused, thinking of all the men in her life that did decidedly not fit that description.
"Are you saying I'm average?" Vega shot her a cocky grin that earned him a swat at his shoulder.
"You're not tall, Vega." Angie looked him over and snickered. "In fact, if you were any shorter, I'd lose you in the crowd."
"Ha. Ha." He shook his head feigning a hurt look, but his eyes glinted in amusement.
"Tell you what though," Angie beamed at him and skipped a step to grab both his shoulders, leaning into him. "Youarebroad." She squeezed. "And muscular."
"Thanks, partner." He turned his head to smile at her warmly.
"You wanna know something else?" She asked, unable to help the mischievous grin from spreading over her face. As he nodded, she drew her head closer, putting her lips next to his ear while she watched over his shoulder. "You're also much more good-looking than our suspect over there."
