AN Okay this is a cheesball fluff chapter just cause I wanted one...I decided to add more angst...so keep reading...I am assured it's good. :)

Disclaimer If I owned him I wouldn't spend my time writing about him believe me! As for the rest of the CSI:NY cast they of course belong to whomever they belong to, and it sure as heck ain't me. I'm just borrowing them...however all the originals are mine.

Set Up

The next morning Phoenix rolled over and just stared at him watching his chest rise and fall as he slept. What the hell was going on? She shook her head and quietly got up; she grabbed his shirt and pulled it on. She closed the door quietly and laughed to herself when she heard the muffled ring of her phone underneath the couch cushion. She caught it on the last ring, "Hi!"

"Oh boy you sound perky," Tegan said with a laugh, "You so got laid."

"What makes you say that?" Phoenix chose to be allusive as she started making coffee and pulling out her favourite Saturday morning cereal.

"Nix, you are rarely perky, especially in the morning. So, how was he?"

Phoenix sighed, "What makes you think I'm gonna tell you how he was?"

"Especially when I'm still here," His voice had this sexy morning rumble to it.

She jumped and shrieked slightly, "You scared me."

"My God he's still there!" Tegan's voice was ignored for the time being.

He had his head tilted to the side the ever present smirk planted firmly in place, "You look good in my shirt."

She smiled at him, "You look better out of it."

"I think I'm gonna gag." Tegan could have hung up but this was the closest she had got to getting laid in longer than she was willing to admit.

He padded over to the kitchen quickly kissed her lips and took the cereal out of her hand, "Hey Teeg." He said into the phone then grabbed the milk from the fridge; a bowl and spoon were next. He winked at Phoenix who watched him balance his breakfast to her table.

"Wow he sounds hot in the morning." Tegan laughed. "Bet he looks good too huh?"

"You have no idea," Phoenix breathed. He just smiled at her and kept eating, not knowing exactly what she was talking about, but wagering a pretty good guess.

"It's just fantastic that you got to do the freak nasty with your eye candy, now can you please focus on me for a moment?" Tegan asked.

"Huh, what?" Phoenix stopped staring at him and went back to making coffee.

"Ask him if his friend talked about me." Tegan sounded amicably exasperated.

"Who's friend?"

"Oh for the love of God do you need to have morning sex before I can have a conversation with you?"

Phoenix chuckled and pulled herself up on the island that separated her kitchen and dinning area, "I'm sorry Teeg, I'm paying attention now. Tegan wants to know if Don talked about her." She directed the question at Danny.

He swallowed a mouthful and regarded her, "Sure he did."

"Yes." Phoenix said into the phone.

"Yes what?" Tegan did not like this perky Phoenix.

"Apparently he did talk about you."

Tegan groaned, "What did he say?"

Phoenix sighed and smiled as Danny finished his cereal and came over to stand between her legs both hands resting on the counter behind her. "Shall I do some under cover work for you Teeg?" He asked into the phone his lips brushing against Phoenix's causing her to practically moan.

"Yes definitely."

"That's an affirmative," Phoenix breathed out, loving how close he was but not envying her friend at the moment.

Danny took the phone out of her hand, "Fine I will, now we have to go." He hung up the phone and flung it over his shoulder where it landed nicely on the sofa.

Phoenix wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. She giggled when he started kissing her neck, "You're feisty."

His mouth was near her ear, "You have no idea."

Flack came into the lab that following Monday and was astonished to hear Danny whistling as he meticulously put a shattered window together. "Did your new friend Nix put you in such a good mood?"

"Maybe," Danny continued whistling, basically he and Nix had spent the entire weekend in her apartment, he couldn't remember being in a better mood. "Do you remember her friend Tegan?"

"Yeah," Flack nodded while picking up a file with test results, "I told you she was hot, why?"

"She asked about you." Danny found a piece that matched, "Boom!" He laughed then searched for another piece.

Flack sighed, "I'm not even going to get into how jealous I am of you right now."

Danny grinned, "Okay don't, she did ask about you though, Tegan that is."

"Good for her, can we stop talking like old ladies at a beauty parlour and discuss these trace results please? Do you want me to pick this woman up?"

"I'm sure she'd love it if you picked her up." Danny said with a smirk.

"This woman," Flack smacked the file with his hand even though he was smiling, "I meant the DNA match here."

"Of course you did, yeah pick her up, and call me when you're ready to interrogate her."

Flack passed Lindsay on his way out and rolled his eyes in Danny's direction, "Enter at your own risk."

"Oh, is he moody?' She asked.

"Worse, he's lively."

"Lively?"

"Trust me it's almost scarier than when he's pissy." Flack smacked the file into her hands, "Good luck."

"Hey Niles has Clara had the baby yet?" Phoenix ducked her head into her cousin's office on her way to help Tegan organize the wardrobe room.

"Nope," He looked up from his paper work and sighed, "I swear, it better be soon, she's startin' to drive me nuts."

"You shove a watermelon in your abdomen and see how much fun you are to live with." She said with a laugh.

"Yeah, yeah you're a guru on pregnant women, now go work." He said good-naturedly.

"Right boss," She skipped out of his office to the wardrobe room where she was met with a groan.

"Dear lord you are still perky, this actually makes me sick." Tegan complained.

"Hey now, I do believe you are one of the ones who encouraged me to talk to the guy."

"Talk to him Nix, not bang him for an entire weekend and gloat about it."

"I am not gloating and I don't like the term banging."

"Yeah well whatever you want to call it, this whole 'I'm in the best mood ever' thing is starting to blind me with its sunshineyness."

"Right sorry, it's all about you." Phoenix tried to frown.

"Yes exactly! You are finally getting the picture and now that we've gone back to the better topic, have you found out more about his hot friend?"

"Tegan is being relentless." Phoenix said to Danny a couple of weeks later.

"Relentless about what?" He asked grabbing a couple of beers from is fridge, after opening both he handed her one then sat down in front of her.

She was sitting on the back of his couch after insisting that she give him a massage to ease the ever present tension in his neck. She took a swig of the beer then leaned over him to put it on the table, "She's relentless about seeing Don again."

"Yeah well talking to Flack about her is proving to be pointless, apparently me being in a good mood makes him unable to talk to me." He closed his eyes and lolled his head from side to side, "Damn you're good at that."

"Thanks," She said absentmindedly as she kneaded his shoulders, "Maybe I should talk to him, pass me the phone."

He reached for it and dialled the familiar number before handing it to her, "This isn't my idea, I really don't like turning into a matchmaker here."

The phone started rings so she rested it between her shoulder and her ear, "Well Tegan is just as annoyed with me so we gotta do something about that…Hi, Don? It's Nix."

"Hey there Nix, to what do I owe the pleasure?"

"Wanna go on a double date?"

AN Ugh...so much fluff...I think that's done now...Sorry I felt it necessary to establish a connectedness with them...or something.
