Author's note: I do not own NCIS: LA or its characters
so there wasn't nearly enough of these two in this episode soo(part 2 to come!)
As soon as Sam had left, Fatima wrapped her arms around Rountree. She was fighting back tears as she clung to his shirt desperately.
"Woah, hey, you okay?" Rountree asked, a bit confused by her actions.
"Almost lost you," she choked out, tears streaming down her cheeks. Rountree realized what was wrong and pressed a gentle kiss to her head.
"Hey. Come here, I'm okay. I promise," he whispered, gently rubbing her back. Fatima sniffled and slowly let go of his shirt.
"Can I stay with you tonight?" she asked quietly.
"Of course. Come here, it's okay. I promise I'm not hurt," he whispered. They hugged again before he gently let go. She sniffled and pulled herself together.
