Fatima and Rountree were in OPS, supposedly working on paperwork but mostly chatting about anything as long as it didn't relate to work. They were still managing to get the work done, so Callen decided not to separate them. Then, as they actually started working, Fatima got the hiccups from laughing too hard. Unfortunate, the hiccups made them laugh even harder. After a very odd sounding one, Rountree decided to mimic it. Fatima laughed so hard she was bent over in her chair, and she nearly fell over. Naturally, that caused them to laugh even harder.
"Why are we like this?" she asked. Rountree laughed.
"No idea, but I'm glad it's us," he said softly. Fatima grinned. They shared a sweet look, and Rountree leaned in to kiss her. Before he could, unfortunately, Fatima got another hiccup. They started laughing and pressed their foreheads together.
Then Rountree decided to test his luck. He pressed his lips to hers and grinned. Fatima smiled and kissed him back. Once they separated, she looked up at him.
"You may have just cured my hiccups," she said. Rountree laughed. Then she got another hiccup. Fatima pouted. "I give up," she whined. Rountree laughed.
"Come here," he whispered. He pulled her close and pressed his lips to hers. They started making out as he wrapped his arms around her. Then the doors opened and Sam walked in. They both looked up guiltily. Sam smirked and walked out.
