This wasn't originally written as a fic, but it's leant itself well – especially after a few tweaks ;) Written with a friend (-pats Stacey-) all recognized characters belong to the big important tb people, all others are our own creations. Charlie belong to me, and Rebekah (Mickey's girlfriend and Sam Nixon's lil sis) belongs to Stacey. Warning for a slash relationship from the start.
The More I See You - Part 1
"No..." Charlie whined softly as she knelt up behind Jo, undoing her scarf as fast as Jo had done it up. "You can't go in now..." She pouted, attempting to bat her hands down. "Joooo!" She mock scowled.
"Charlie!" Jo laughed but eyed her, taking her scarf to do again. "I have to, you know I do. You'll be in in a couple of hours yourself anyway!"
Charlie sat back on the bed, pouting up at her as she folded her arms. "Can go off people you know..." she sulked, laying flat out.
"Oi!" Jo turned round and lightly slapped her thigh. "Cheeky madam, we've been in bed all day as it is, about time we got up and did something productive with our lives!" She smiled, stroking some of Charlie's hair out of her face. "Don't sulk, it doesn't suit you." She kissed her own fingertip and placed it on Charlie's lips before standing up and grabbing her bag she went downstairs.
Charlie slowly got up, wrapping a dressing gown around herself, following Jo downstairs. "You could call in sick..." She batted her eyes at Jo. "Or...get away early..." She chuckled. "I know a fantastic little stationary cupboard..."
"Charlieee!" Jo slung her bag onto her shoulder and took her arms. "Babe, I can't just take time off like that. This is a really important case I'm working on, it needs all my concentration, not you putting me off." She winked and kissed her lips. "See you there, yeah?"
"Ok..." Charlie pouted slightly, before wrapping her arms around Jo's neck, hugging her. "See you at work." she smiled, returning the kiss.
Jo kissed Charlie again before leaving for work. Charlie leant in the doorway, smiling to herself as she watched Jo go to the car, waving to her as she drove off, going back inside to run herself a bath.
---------------------------------------------------------
Jo arrived in CID, taking her coat off and flicking her hair back. "Oh go on then Gary, make us one." She grinned at him by the kettle.
"Make your own, lazy!" Gary protested. "I ain't your little wifey."
Sam snorted at Gary's comment.
"Milk, two sugars Jo?"Mickey frowned at Sam and Gary, pushing Gary from the kettle.
"One sugar, thanks." Jo gave the other two a look and sat herself behind her desk.
"Oi!" Gary tutted, elbowing Mickey back before going to his desk.
"Piss off, pocket cop." Mickey glared, making two cups of tea, passing one to Jo.
"Mickey!" Rebekah reprimanded him, having heard as she came in to give Sam the £20 she owed her. She passed it to Sam and went over to the boys. "Can't you two just get on?" She frowned at Mickey and turned to Gary. She watched him skulk back to his seat.
"It never changes." Sam droned. "I become more and more convinced I come to work in a nursery school."
"Nah." Phil leant forward, smarmy. "Kids that age can't dream about the things I do." He grinned. "You're great in silk." He winked.
"Pervert." Sam hissed, throwing a ball of paper at him.
"Now who's at nursery?" Jo remarked quietly.
"Something to say, DC Masters?" Sam quipped.
Jo just glared and sat back in her seat quietly.
Mickey simply scoffed at Gary, "Something bothering you, Sam?" he asked pointedly.
"Err, sorry - DC Webb?" Sam asked, eyeing him.
Rebekah nuged him. "He's just winding you up. Ignore him. Sarge." She emphasised for Mickey's sake!
"You got a problem?" Mickey repeated, not about to back down as Sam pulled rank.
"I do with your attitude, and the way you speak to your senior officers." Sam scoffed.
"Mickeeeeey..." Rebekah's voice pleaded.
"Mickey, just leave it yeah?" Phil stood up, sauntering over with his hands in his pockets. Not about to sit back and listen to him talk to Sam with anything other than respect.
Jo watched them all sheepishly.
"Shame you lot can't do the same." Mickey said with a snort, sitting back at his computer.
Jo caught Mickey's eyes and she shook her head discreetly, signalling it's not worth it. Phil stared after Mickey, making sure he was put in his place before sitting back at his desk. Sam shared a look with Phil and got back on with her work, while Rebekah turned to share a short conversation with Gary.
