This is written assuming that CID frowns on romance between officers...something regarding ACP being against marriage was mentioned by Abhijeet in one of the episodes, if I remember right.

Just You and I

Abhijeet smiles as he listens to her talk about her week. Lying next to her, just talking for hours is calming, addictive even. He finds a strange, inexplicable sort of comfort in her presence.

"Abhijeet…"

"Hmm?"

"You're pretty quiet tonight," she observes.

Abhijeet suddenly rolls over, his elbows on either side of her body, his face is above hers, their noses almost touching.

"I could get used to this," he says, watching her eyes keenly for even the tiniest flicker.

But there is no second guessing, not even a pause.

"You could..." Tarika hints, her voice feeble, almost as though she doesn't want him to hear her.

"I could... I could... if I got married to you."

He rolls back to her side.

He isn't sure he wants to see her face...not after he said what he just said.

"You don't mean that Abhijeet..."

"Well, we could run away...no one has to know."

"If only we could," she laughs, entwining their fingers, snuggling close to him.

Tarika closes her eyes for a few moments. She doesn't know why he said what he said. Maybe it's an impetuous desire… But to her it's enough. All that matters is that the man loves, the man she wants to grow old with, is beside her, in every sense of the word.

A/N I wrote this on a whim. I was wondering how they'd get married… and someone has taken it further (you'll get to know). I wouldn't have posted it, if it were not for her.

This one is for you ; *
