Couches near the bullpen.

'Well this is quite the sight! You 2 sitting on the couch reading. Looks real cute.' Callen remarked.

'We're researching, nothing more. If you're expecting either of us to doze off and rest on the other's arm, you'll be disappointed.' Granger replied, looking up from his book.

'If you say so.'. Then he walked back to his desk.

'He does have a good point, you know. How often do we end up on the same couch reading together?' Hetty asked.

'Knowing him, he was probably expecting us to either kiss or fall asleep on each other's arm.' Granger replied.

'Oh come on now! Not everyone who sees 2 people on the same couch reading thinks that way!'

'Have you seen the romantic notions of our teammates?'

Hetty pondered for a bit, and realized he might be right.

'Look, it's just Mr. Callen. I'm sure the others don't think the same!'

Then Granger looked over at the bullpen desks and saw everyone looking at them and snickering.

'Don't count on it.' He muttered.
