The corners of pink lips turn upwards as she angles herself towards
him. Hazel hues meet bright blues, the forming smile only widening
as his hand makes contact with her arm. She is glad, at least, that
his short rest was uninterrupted. They were small victories, and she
was not one to overlook them. Her index finger moves to lightly touch
the space between his eyebrows. Scooting in closer to him, she positions
herself so that her lips may meet his creaseless forehead. It is the first
time in a long while, she notes, that his face is without a line of visible,
intense concentration -- frustration -- sometimes sadness. Another small
V I C T O R Y.
❝I'm glad you're here.
I'm glad that you took a nap, too, I mean.
But I'm also glad that you took a nap here. ❞
❝It felt like hours.❞
It wasn’t hours. It never was. Occasionally he could find a break
in which he slept more than a few hours in a week but normally
he finds himself sitting up at night, eyes forcing themselves open
after no more than twenty minutes at a time. Awake now, Steve
finds no reason to waste any more time attempting to rest and
even less reason in moving as his hand smooths down her arm.
❝Hi, beautiful.❞

❝Probably not as long as you should've been.
Hi there, sleepyhead.❞
Sleeping is something he's really, really bad at. It was for that reason
that waking him had been out of the question. She had busied herself
with notes & case files during his nap, quietly tucked beside him .
❝How long was I out?❞
There is a strong possibility he will kill if
he hears a joke about seventy-plus years.

❝Mac & Cheese is the best food that's
ever been invented, Steve! That and
rainbow Goldfish crackers. There's
this one type of mollusk that can live
up to like 400 years old! So compared
to that you're like a kid. ❞
❝Mac & cheese, I’ll keep that in mind.
That’s even older than I am, and I’m
pretty old. But those whales got me
beat by a long shot.❞

❝ She's really good at helping me with things.
She can tie shoes better than I can and
make mac & cheese. Okay, how about
this one? Did you know that some whales
can live up to be 200 years old?❞
❝Nothing wrong with your mom helping,
she helps me sometimes too. Not on
whales, though. You’re my guy for
that. I had no idea. What else can you
teach me?❞

Lindsey & Steve
who cooks normally?: Although not very often, it would be Lindsey. They both work long & bizarre hours, but Lindsey cooks when she can, mainly because she knows what to make that her son will actually eat.
how often do they fight?: They don’t have long, drawn out fights, as much as quickly-resolved arguments. However, actual fights are on the scare side.
what do they do when they’re away from each other?: Work, mainly. Both of their jobs require an intense amount of dedication.
nicknames for each other?: Steve calls her Linds, Lindsey doesn’t have one particular nickname for him.
who is more likely to pay for dinner?: Steve, much to the distress of Lindsey.
who steals the covers at night?: Lindsey.
who kissed who first?: Lindsey kissed Steve first.
who made the first move?: Lindsey, once she was ready.
who remembers things?: They both remember things. Lindsey is a big fan of post-it notes on the fridge.
who started the relationship?: Steve, by stating his intentions & letting her know that he meant it.
who cusses more?: Lindsey, probably.
what would they do if the other one was hurt?: Despite being trained and prepared to handle stressful situations, Lindseywould find herself very overwhelmed & panicked by seeing him hurt but wouldgive her most valiant effort in trying to help. Steve, who has more experiencein the field, would likely handle it with more tact than she would.

❝Yeah, I think they're
Really cool. Mom got me
a book about whales, but
she needs to help me with
it sometimes. Did you know
that the Blue Whale is bigger
than any other animal EVER?
They're bigger than the biggest
dinosaurs used to be.❞
❝Whales, huh?
I do. What about you,
pal? Do you like them?❞
