Thank you so much for the reviews! I suck at returning them, but they all really mean a lot to me! Thanks again!
Title: Couldn't Be
Summary: "You know Messer," Flack started. "I'm beginning to think there's something you're not telling me."
A/N: Takes place 4 months into their relationship. (I think that in this part, and the ones that follow, some characters might be acting a bit out-of-character (just a pre-warning I guess ) )
"Hey Danny!" Flack called down the hall, sprinting to catch up to him. "I got a favour to ask ya."
"Why don't I like the sounds of that?" Danny joked.
"I think you'll like this. Tonight, you and me, and two gorgeous girls."
"I don't know Flack, you're not really my type."
"Very funny." Flack laughed. "But seriously, I met this girl and she needs someone to go out with her friend, so I naturally thought of you."
"As flattered as I am, I can't."
"You're kidding! Come on, these girls are hot, whatever you have planned can wait, right?"
Danny shook his head. "Sorry man, but I can't. Got plans I can't break."
Flack looked over at his friend. He had never in the past turned down the possibility of a date with a good looking girl. This was just one of the changes that he had noticed in the past months. He didn't go out as often, and whenever Flack made a comment about a woman, it seemed to barely register with him.
"You know Messer," Flack started. "I'm beginning to think there's something you're not telling me."
"Why would you think that?" Danny asked, avoiding Flack's eyes.
"I don't know, but there's something different about you lately."
Danny looked up. "Don't really know what ya mean."
"Well, there's something up and I'm beginning to think it's got something to do with a woman. When was the last time you passed up a chance for a hot date? Is there a girl in your life you're not telling me about?"
Danny laughed a bit. "I have to get these results to Mac. Have fun with those girls tonight."
Danny turned the corner and headed towards Mac's office. Flack smiled to himself. Danny hadn't denied or admitted anything, but Flack was beginning to draw his own conclusions.
Lindsay sat up quickly, disoriented. The loud sound of a cell phone had brought her out of her peaceful slumber. She felt Danny move beside her. She reached over to the nightstand, picking up the phone. About to answer it, she stopped, letting her eyes focus, noticing it wasn't her cell. She handed the phone to Danny, lying back down in bed.
"Messer." He said, answering the phone. Lindsay curled up next to him, wrapping her arms around his waist.
"Danny, it's Mac. Sorry to wake you, but we've got a multiple homicide, and we're going to need the whole team."
"Alright...ok, I'll be there soon." He said, mentally noting the location. He flipped his phone shut, rubbing his eyes.
"Expect a call in a few minutes."
"What a way to wake up." Lindsay yawned. Sure enough, the sound of Lindsay's cell could be heard a few seconds later. She answered, and nodded along as Mac explained the situation.
"I'm on my way." She said, flipping the phone shut. Both lay in bed, not moving.
"We should have gone to bed earlier last night." Lindsay said.
"Yeah…but it was worth it, don't ya think?" Danny joked. Lindsay moved so she was leaning on her elbow, facing him.
"Most definitely…" she said, kissing him slowly. Danny pulled her closer, so she was now on top of him. She pulled away a few minutes later. "We better get going…"
Danny groaned. "Yeah, yeah…"
Flack had just finished interviewing a witness as he saw the two of them arrive. This wasn't the first time they had rode together, Flack noted.
"Morning." Flack said, a little bitterness residing in his voice. "Nice wake up call, huh?"
"I take it your date went well last night…" Danny joked.
"It was going great, until work butted in." he said. A smile spread across his face. "You don't know what you missed Messer."
"Hot date?" Lindsay asked.
"Oh yeah." Flack said, smile on his face. "So, you two rode together?" he asked, brow furrowing a bit.
"Yeah, I picked Lindsay up on the way." Danny said. "So, what do we got?"
"Five dead bodies, all male. This man over here found them while he was searching through the garbage this morning. The others are already here."
"Let's get started." Lindsay said, as her and Danny made their way over to the others. Flack hung back, thinking to himself. Didn't Lindsay live on the other side of town? Then, a thought hit him.
He knew Danny thought Lindsay was attractive and sure, he flirted with her quite a bit. But he was beginning to think there was something more to it then just that. They rode to crime scenes together and he would see them leave together often. He always saw them together at work, even when they weren't working cases together, standing close and laughing to each other. He hadn't put the pieces together before, until now.
"Couldn't be…" he said to himself, shaking his head, laughing at the thought. There was no way that those two were involved…right?
Reviews, pretty please! Next part will be up soon!
