JO

We arrived at the venue, and the first thing I did when I got out of the car was leave my jacket in the car, knowing that it would get too hot in the mosh pit to have it on, besides it wasn't that cold out. Henry had his hand on my back the whole time, I wasn't entirely sure if it was so that he didn't lose me or just because he was out of his comfort zone, but either way I didn't mind. I turned back to him and smiled

"Alright the doors should be open soon, so here's your ticket and when we go in we'll be heading straight through those doors over there since we are in the mosh pit" I told him and he nodded

"Ok" he said taking his ticket. Just then they announced that the doors were opening and we were moving closer and closer to the door. When we got to the front of the cue the ticket lady who seemed to be in her late teens smiled at us as she scanned our tickets, before letting us in she said

"You guys are such an adorable couple, I wish I had a boyfriend who looked after me the way the two of you have been doing" I smiled at her not even bothering to correct her it was getting annoying correcting people, but tonight I didn't care, and I was grateful when I turned around to see that Henry was smiling too and he wasn't going to correct her either

"Thank you" I said smiling at her and she smiled

"Enjoy your night" she said and we nodded

"Thank you. We will" Henry said his arm wrapping a little more tightly round my waist as we made our way into the venue.

The music was loud and every couple of minutes I would look back at Henry who was standing directly behind me who seemed a little uncomfortable. I would smile at him reassuringly before turning back to the stage. It was about an hour into the concert when this man who had been a couple of people to my left made his way closer and was getting incredibly handsy with me and pushing Henry out of the way. I was trying to push the dude off but each time I tried to push his hands away from my body he just reached higher or lower on my body, I was seriously regretting not bringing my weapon now and as I turned around I saw that Henry was about to punch this dude in the face. Reaching for him and escaping the other dudes arms I dragged Henry away and whispered to him that whoever the hell he was, wasn't worth the bruised knuckles he would surely have tomorrow. We made our way through the crowd to the other side of the mosh pit and we stayed there for the remainder of the concert, without anyone else trying to manhandle me, well apart from Henry who had become incredibly protective of me and had wrapped his arms around my waist.

It was four hours later that we were working out of the venue, Henry's arms still around my waist and a big smile on his face. I was pretty sure that I had the biggest smile on my face.

"Thank you for coming with me Henry. I really appreciated it" I said and he smiled

"I really enjoyed myself too Jo" he said and I blushed at the intensity of the look he was giving me, he leaned in and whispered

"Though I'm really sorry for that guy in there. I so wanted to punch him" he said and I smiled, over the time that we'd known each other Henry had become my knight in shinning armour, and for some reason that image didn't strike me as weird or odd when describing him.

"Well thank you for protecting my honour" I said and he nodded. He looked like he wanted to say something more important but we had made it to edge of the venue and Henry was looking around the crowds gathered outside.

"Abe said he would pick me up so that you didn't have to go out of your way to drop me off. And by the looks of things that's him over there. So detective thank you for a fantastic night and a memory I will remember forever" he said after a quick search of the crowd. My smile fell a little as he said this but I knew it was for the best. He leaned in and kissed my cheek and when he pulled back I smiled at him

"Goodnight Henry" I said and he smiled back

"Goodnight Jo" he said making his way over to Abe. I watched him go and when he was out of sight I finally reached up and felt my cheek. Smiling happily I left the venue making my way to my car so that I could head home.

After parking my car in the garage allocated next to my house, I made my way up the front steps and unlocked the door. Making my way through the door I hung up my leather jacket and dropped my purse on the hallway table. I headed upstairs to shower and the whole time I was thinking about Henry and the way he had protected me, his arms firmly around my waist and I hoped from his awkward departure that evening that he shared the same feelings that I did. Maybe seeing him tomorrow would make up my mind and I'd be able to finally confess my feelings for him. There had been so many occasions when we had said we'd cared for each other deeply and trusted the other but never truly confessed the full extent of those feelings. As I shut off the water in the shower and dried myself, I dressed in a daze before making my way to my bed and falling asleep. I was positive that there was a cheesy smile there that whole night.

The following morning I dressed for work before driving into the station. I made a quick stop in at the café around the corner and ordered my usual cappuccino with chocolate on top, before I thought I would do something nice for Henry and bring him a thank you gift for coming with me last night and protecting me, so I ordered his usual latte and his favourite Danish and got myself one of the freshly baked cookies before making the trip back to the station. Exiting the elevator with the tray of coffee and the paper brown bags with our treats in them, I was met with a rather energetic Lucas, though that wasn't out of character for him, he seemed to be waiting for me.

"How was it Jo?" he asked and I looked at him feigning innocence

"How was what?" I asked and he looked at me with a raised eyebrow

"The concert. The one you and Henry went to last night. How was it?" he asked.

"It was fine" I said avoiding eye contact with him and making a mad dash towards Henry's office. Closing the door behind me I saw Lucas standing by the elevator staring at me and I smiled before turning around and facing Henry who had been watching the whole thing it seems. I smiled nervously holding up both the bags of food and the cups of coffee.

"I got us some drinks and your favourite snack, the Danish" I said proudly and he smiled offering me a seat. Sitting in the seat opposite him and placing the beverages on his desk and looking toward him as he grabbed his cup I smiled

"I wanted to thank you for coming with me last night and stopping that guy from doing God knows what to me" I said and he nodded, a small smirk on his face

"You already thanked me Jo and I would gladly do it again" he said and I nodded, feeling my heart begin to race at his confession. I smiled at him and he smiled back before taking a sip of the latte he always drank and moaned when he tasted it

"How did you remember that?" he asked and I shrugged, trying to shrug it off and make it look like I wasn't completely swooning over him, which I totally was.

"I pay attention" I said just a little too defensively. Lifting the cup to his mouth I was sure that he was hiding a smirk at my protest, and felt my cheeks flush a deep shade of red. Taking a sip from my own mug I was trying to look anywhere but at him. I didn't need to become more awkward because what I was about to do was the most forward thing I had ever done. So as I took a deep breath I said

"I really enjoyed last night Henry. There was no one else who would've made it as enjoyable as you did. Maybe we could do it again sometime" he looked at me with a serious look on his face before he smiled

"I enjoyed myself too Jo. I was thinking that maybe you might want to go out with me on Saturday night?" he asked and as I looked at him, sure I looked like one of those cartoons I nodded a little before asking

"Like a date?" I asked and he looked at me one of his nervous smiles on his lips

"Yeah like a date" he said and I smiled

"Yes yeah. I mean uh yeah of course" I said trying to sound cool. He laughed a little before smiling and I blushed a bright red.

A/N: Alright again this is another updated bit from the actual one shot but this is more original and kinda what happened afterwards. I won't be able to update for a couple of days but I hope this will tide you over until then. Please review and tell me what you think.
