Show: NUMB3RS
Genre: Romance?
Pairing: Suggested Charlie/Amita
Summary: This is a litte thing that's been brewing in the back of my mind for ages now. Its what I feel Charlie and Amita are thinking after Larry's comment about the math department
Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to NUMB3RS and I am not making any money off this… I love the show and mean no harm to anyone.
AN: This is my first successful attempt at fan fic I hope everyone likes it. Sorry if either one of the characters seems a bit off. I had a hard time getting into Charlie's head but Amita's part was a lot easier to write. I welcome comments… please make it constructive criticism… at least for my first one. I'd like to know what I could do to make it better. Thanks.
Charlie and Amita's thoughts after Larry comment in the episode "Sabotage."
Larry, "Yes, yes well that's why I'm here; I mean, it's the perfect refuge."
Charlie, "What do you mean the perfect refuge?"
Larry, "Well the math department, must be the least libidinous place on campus"
li·bid·i·nous (l-bdn-s)
adj.
Having or exhibiting lustful desires; lascivious.
CHARLIE POV
'Well the math department must be the least libidinous place on campus.' Charlie thought over Larry's most recent comment. He didn't agree with it. He really liked Amita, a lot more than he should, he knew. But her mind was intriguing, and he had to admit that she was pretty. But he could never act on his feelings for Amita he's her advisor, and it's just not allowed. He glances at Amita and sees that she is looking at him. He quickly looks to Larry but he's drawn back to Amita. He realizes that what he sees on her face is probably echoed in his. That is… that she also disagrees with Larry but there is something more. He silently curses himself for not being an emotional person. He soon goes back to his work on the board. But he can't completely concentrate on the problem anymore. He needs to talk to Amita… in private.
AMITA'S POV
Amita can't believe what Larry just said. He said that the math department was basically the least likely place to meet your soul mate. She disagrees, she's pretty sure she's found her soul mate. That would be… her thesis advisor Professor Charlie Epps. He's very young (for a professor) and absolutely brilliant, that's what she likes most about him. She also has to admit that he is also quite handsome. She looks over at Charlie to see what he thinks. It's clearly written on his face. One of the only times Amita has ever seen that on Charlie. She sees that obviously Charlie disagrees with Larry's comment too. But she sees something else too, what is it? "Oh no he's looking at me, my eyes are going to betray how I really feel.' Then it dawns on her, she sees an attraction in his eyes. When he glances at Larry it's gone but its back when he looks fully at her again. Charlie likes her. She soon realizes that her advisor/friend can not read her eyes, it's because he's not very good when it comes to dealing with emotions. Charlie goes back to his work but she can tell he's distracted. She needs to talk to Charlie… in private.
AN 2: There may be a sequel to this one as I left it wide open for one. But I haven't had time to sit down and try to write it yet. I also have ideas for two other fics brewing in my head. With any luck I'll have a chance to work on them soon. Thanks for reading… and reviewing if you want.
