This idea gave me feels. This could have been perfect for any ichabbie moment or something like this could've been in the finale, but you know… anyway, this is an AU.
Abbie sighed, sipped her tea. She's been reviewing this case all night. Taking her work home was not how she planned on spending her weekend. She still hadn't made the connection between the killer and her victims. Sometimes working in the FBI sucked, but it was rewarding at the end of a big case. It wasn't that way now. Abbe flipped through another case file, shook her head. How was she going to do this?
Crane watched her from the living room. He played a game of chess by himself and occasionally picked up a book. He knew Abbie was stressed out. She'd need a small break, some encouragement. Crane stood and walked in the kitchen. He smiled at her as she glanced up at him. He stuck out his hands. Abbie took them. He tugged her up, held her close. He kissed her forehead, spoke against it.
"Do not grow faint, my heart." He kissed her forehead again.
Abbie sighed and shut her eyes, played with the lapels on his coat. She loved that he knew just what she needed when she needed it. She lifted her head. Her fingers played with his beard while she stood on her tip toes to kiss his lips. Their tongues drank from the other. She pulled away.
"Thank you," she said.
He nodded and watched her sit back at the table with enough strength to finish her work for the night.
