This is a super short teaser-like intro for one of my new fics. It likely won't be a long one, but at least a few chapters or so. Thank you to Candice and Oz for the idea!
This takes place some time after the events of 4x13.
Bozer was tired of Mac and Riley beating around the bush. Once his feelings for the hacker had faded, he always thought the two would be a cute couple. They had a good balance of things in common, and not. Riley always read Mac, sometimes before he'd even say a word. There was a natural flow there, and as bad as he felt admitting it, they were the opposite combination of Mac and Desi.
His prediction that they would be 'messy' was putting it lightly.
Even as Riley's feelings for Mac unfolded, and he began to notice similar ones from his best friend, Bozer tried to be patient. Out of respect for Desi, but also, rushing into one relationship after another too quickly wasn't smart.
He caught the longing glances and flirty smiles between his closest friends, his heart warming at the prospect. Until months went by and he got sick of waiting. It was time for Double-0 Boze to step up and take initiative. It was natural in him to play matchmaker, and no one made a better pair than those two.
Both were likely afraid of ruining their friendship. Considering what it had done to Mac and Desi, it made sense. Still, that wouldn't stop him from trying to bring them together in his own unconventional way.
Rubbing his hands together as if he were about to dine on his famous Christmas Eve pastrami, Bozer lowered them toward the keyboard of his computer, fingers quickly dancing across the keys.
He had a new movie idea already buzzing around in his mind, and knew exactly who he would cast for the leading man and lady.
"Angus MacGyver and Riley Davis– I hope you're ready for your big break!"
