Erwin awakes with a groggy feeling; since when did he fall asleep at his desk?
Instead of feeling the usual coldness that accompanies free air-con in their building, he feel strangely warm. Sitting up carefully without trying to break his spine from the stiffness that settled into his bones from the uncomfortable position he placed himself in, the blanket slides off his shoulders and onto his chair.
"Hmm? Who put this here?"
"I did."
Erwin looks up and sees his new colleague strolling in with a cup of steaming coffee; they've only met a few times, countable with one hand, whenever a new body is found.
The blond inspector nods his thanks. "Why are you still here? It's," he pause to look at the clock on the wall, "ten in the evening already."
"I can ask you the same question though; why are you sleeping here at ten?" She retorts cheekily and Erwin thinks she's getting high on caffeine.
"I'm about done with this case so might as well suffer a few more hours." He shrugs as he eyes the coffee. "How about you?"
Hanji kinda wants to tell him her eyes are up here but shrugs back. "I'm having fun with Sonny and Bean. They're going to take them back for embalming tomorrow so might as well check one more time."
She takes a sip and notices Erwin is still eye-fucking her coffee.
"Want some?" She raises her red mug.
Erwin couldn't hold back the yawn fast enough and ends up turning his words into some alien gibberish.
"I'll take that as a yes." Hanji place the ceramic onto his table gently and walks out. "You look like you need it more than I do anyway."
Before he gets the chance to express his thanks, the door to his office closes.
