AUTHORS NOTE: So moonlight proved to be a horrible prompt after all (thanks Michelle!) but this little piece of nonsense came out of it. I thought it would be a good girly moment between our girls!

PROMPT#2 Moonlight


Jenny and Stuart were stood in the kitchenette, their hands gripping onto mugs of hot chocolate because traipsing about in the rain hunting for their latest suspect had made them cold. Burke moved into the kitchenette and laughed at the state of them both. "What did you swim here?" Jenny just glared at him, the affection apparent in her eyes as she just rolled her eyes.

"You seem to only send us out into the streets when it's pissing it down!"

"Jennifer, this is Glasgow. It always rains." He pointed out before grabbing a can of one of his diet pops and then heading back into the bullpen. She stared after him shaking her head before turning to look at Stuart.

"We had our third date last night," she said causing Stuart to turn to look at her. An instant gay best friend relationship had associated between the two when she'd joined the team and they told each other literally everything. She handed him her mug before jumping up on the counter. "He took me to see an old black and white movie. It was called Strangers on a Train and apparently it is like one of his favourite films ever."

"Oh wow he's letting you know information like that? I didn't think that would ever happen with Burke when he was with someone. I thought you'd have to know him like a million years before that ever happened," he said handing her the mug back before positioning himself in between her legs so that he could look up at her without her having to nearly fall off the counter to look at her. "Is that all you did?"

"No. We went for a walk and ended up on the bridge," she looked at him with a big smile. "The only time I've ever been down there is because of some kind crime happened there and then you never notice how beautiful it is until you're down there just taking a stroll."

"It was a full moon last night too so it should have been beautiful," Stuart turned his head to the side and looked over at Jackie standing at the door. "That's one of mine and Robbie's favourite spots. Just sitting there under the moonlight you forget that the world is ugly." She moved over to stand next to Stuart, her hand reaching out for his mug and he handed it to her because she was as drowned as them.

"Moon walks are my favourite," Jenny admitted and she smiled. "James and I used to live down by the beach and walking on the beach at a full moon was the most beautiful thing ever!" She shook her head and sighed. "It's amazing how simple things can be the most breathtaking!" She said before groaning at the sound of Burke calling their names. "I suppose it is time to go back to the job."

Stuart just nodded and thankful for the timing because he had no moonlight stories to tell.


That night he lay in his bed, the space beside him empty because Ewan was at work. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes just as the bedroom door burst open. He jumped up, his hand grabbing the gun that he kept under his pillow. "Don't shoot me," Ewan quickly said but he was breathless causing Stuart to attempt to reach over and turn the light on. "Don't do that either."

"What the hell is wrong with you?" He grumbled looking at the clock and noting that there were two hours until Ewan should actually have to be home. He could hear the hyperness in his voice and he couldn't help but smile as his partner jumped onto the bed, his legs straddling over Stuart.

"I want you to come outside with me," he said pressing a kiss to the man's lips before jumping back off of him, taking hold of his hand and dragging him out of the bed.

"Ewan, we can't go too far because Ronan..." he stopped talking as a hand covered his eyes. Stuart stiffened as he tried to reach up for the hand. "Ewan, what are you doing?" He said shivering from the cold which was a hint that Ewan had dragged him out to the back garden.

"I got a distressing phone call today off Jenny," Stuart was now even more shocked because Jenny rarely rang Ewan just to chat so there had to be something wrong. "She was telling me about romantic moments in the moonlight and you had no tale to tell them!" He pressed a kiss to the spot behind Stuart's ear. "I can't promise you a walk due to you know us having a sleeping daughter," he removed his hand and Stuart gasped.

The back garden was covered in snow and the full moon was glowing down causing it to twinkle as if someone had scattered glitter all over the ground. He turned round to look at Ewan, a child like grin on his face as he reached over and pressed a kiss to the man's lips. "I didn't care about not having a moonlight tale."

"Oh every girl needs a good moonlight tale!" Ewan teased and started to laugh as Stuart tickled him mockingly. "And you love snow, I think your story just made the top of the list." He winked as he pulled him nearer. "You've got gossip for your meeting tomorrow!" He teased pressing another kiss to his lips, smiling at his partner's happy laughter.


Stuart walked into the office and glared at Jenny, "You rang Ewan?" He said shaking his head before moving over to his sear and smiling. "Thank you."

"You get your moonlight moment?"

"With a sprinkle of snow," he proceeded to tell them the story and smiled at their moment before deciding that Stuart and Ewan won hands down.
