Disclaimer: Still don't own CSI:NY, sorry. If I did, I'd share it with my fellow D/A shippers!
Danny walked into the lab with a funny feeling in his throat. Come on Messer! What do you have to lose? He immediately regretted asking himself that, because he knew the answer possibilities were endless. He leaned against the wall, put his head in his hands and sighed, trying to work up some courage.
Aiden was coming out of the locker room when she saw Danny. He looked pretty stressed. She shuddered when she remembered his psych evaluation She stopped right by him and put a hand on his shoulder. He felt a small shock go through his body and jumped back, startled.
Nervous much, Messer? he thought to himself. He looked over and noticed Aiden, nodding a silent apology to her for being so jumpy. This would be the perfect moment to make my move, but am I going to do it? God, no. Aiden looked up at him, worried. She put her arms around his neck, trying to provide some comfort. That evaluation must have been terrible.
Thoroughly expecting him to need someone to hold on to, she buried her head near his neck. Danny's cheeks burned and thought about letting her go instead of sending the wrong signal. Instead, he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer, confusing them both more than they could handle. Danny was the first to break away, now confident that he could ask "the question."
"Aiden?" he said, his voice nervous. "Will you…I mean, um. Do you want to go out for drinks after shift?
She smiled and bit her lip. Aiden put her hand on his cheek and guided his mouth to hers, pressing her lips to hers softly before leaning back and smiling.
"Is that a good enough answer?"
A/N-Thanks for all of y'alls reviews! I had a lot of fun writing this little series…sorry this last chapter was so short, I thought it was all it needed.
