Author's Notes: This is a stand alone, series of vignettes describing the growth of a relationship between David Rossi and Penelope Garcia. It starts in Season 13, no spoilers of Season 13, however, there are mentions of previous episodes particularly The Wheels on the Bus. Other than that it is all contrived by the author.
4 - The Little Things
It was the little things he noticed at first. The things that often occurred when two people started to become a couple. An extra toothbrush on the bathroom sink. Hair barrettes, some make-up and a stick of deodorant in the corner. Feminine products under the sink and a few changes of clothes in his laundry.
He sighs and removes a few long hairs from the sink before he begins to shave. She bustles in interrupting his routine.
"I'm shaving here," he tells her.
"I need to pee," she counters as she makes herself comfortable on the toilet.
He refrains from reminding her that there are three other bathrooms in the house and resumes shaving. She finishes her business, washes her hands in the sink he is using and scrambles out of the room.
