Today on Caroline watches the rookie, I'm catching up. . . First off Chenford's First Date! We got this great line from Tim:
I love that, Mr. Calm, Cool, Collected Tim Bradford becomes a bumbling mess that says things like "naked time" in the presence of Lucy. Lol
But their second "actual first date" was adorable, and I got my favorite Tim Line:
And THIS SCENE RIGHT HERE
IT'S FRIGGIN CHRISTMAS FOR ME. My babies are together, and happy. I know this is the rookie and that probably won't last, but I'm enjoying it while I can 😀
My only complaint is I feel like we've skipped over a lot of "honeymoon chenford." I know it's a cop show, and chenford Romance is not the main event, but I wish we could have seen the squad finding out about Chenford, or Tim finding out that Lucy and Nolan used to have a thing lol I've definitely got some fanfic ideas floating around!! I finished season 5 last night, and it's bittersweet that I only have 10 episodes left!

A second go at a first date.
Tim is not against public displays of affection. Within reason.
He actively likes holding hands with women he is in a relationship with.
He’s been known to put his hand on a lower back, or an arm round a shoulder
And maybe even a quick hug.
He likes to think it was because he was a gentleman, he would tell his partners their relationship was no one else’s business but he was beginning to believe that maybe he’d never been in a relationship where he just couldn’t keep his hands off the other person before…
He has the feeling Lucy is really going to answer this question for him.
Of course in this moment he’s not thinking any of this, he’s not thinking at all. Sitting as close to Lucy as possible in these uncomfortable metal chairs, food forgotten in front of them.
One hand on her knee, the other in her hair. The kiss had built and built, the idea that the other food truck patrons or passers by might see them had not crossed his mind.
The minute she had told him, in that fancy restaurant during their disastrous first ‘first date’, that she wanted them to have their first “real” kiss he had thought about how much he wanted to finally be the one to take control.
The first peck, back in her apartment all those months ago, an embarrassment he needed to make up for. Lucy had followed that very first kiss up with 2 of the most heart racing, knee buckling kisses Tim had ever experienced. He had something to prove.
Not that he was competitive or anything but, he had to at least level the playing field.
It was Lucy who pulled back first, out of breath, flushed cheeks and red lips. She placed her hands on his chest as he reflexively leaned forward to chase another kiss.
“Let me breathe” she giggled slightly and he worked to contain the slightly smug grin that threatened to take over his face
“Sure thing” he leaned back in his chair not taking his eyes off her. He picked at his food as she took a deep drink from her can.
For several minutes they both sat in silence, gazes soft, gentle smiles.
Lucy starts to lean forward in her seat and Tim forces himself to remain still, to focus on the way her hair falls forward over her shoulders. How her smile quirks up on one side as she watches his reaction intently. Her hand reaches up and round to the back of his neck and his eyes close, briefly, at the light touch she leaves on his skin.
Goose bumps erupt on his skin as she trails her finger tips down his neck and along his collar bone. She pauses, momentarily.
“Lucy” it comes out as a whisper when her finger tighten around the collar of his shirt and she draws him firmly to her.
Tim is the first to pull away this time, he feels like he’s losing a battle of wills. Against his own hands. Touching Lucy is a heady mixture of electrifying and familiar. New, but also as it had always been. He knows how her soft face will fit in his hand because he knows every inch of her face as well as he knows his own.
But her words ring in his ears. They shouldn’t rush just because they know each other so well.
So with super human strength he sits back and tries to string together a sentence.
“Angela is going to be insufferable” he rolled his eyes but his smile remained.
“You’re going to tell her?” Lucy didn’t sound nervous but he wanted to reassure her that he wasn’t going to be telling anyone until she was ready.
“Honestly I don’t think I’m going to have to. Detective Lopez will work it out in minutes” then in a moment of bravery “she’s been on at me about us” he says gesturing between them “for some time”
Lucy’s mouth hangs open
“Us?” She stutters “for sometime?!” Her mouth opens and closes like a fish and Tim can’t help but grin “Tim!” She swats at his shoulder. “Explain!”
“She may have worked out that I had feelings for you, maybe even before I was sure” Tim could feel the heat in his cheeks and new a blush was creeping over his face. “She asked some questions, made me ask a few more of myself”
“When?” Was all she asked her eyes locked on his.
“After we kissed, the first time in your apartment” Lucy’s eyes shot wide open “I… I was… confused” he stuttered “I wasn’t expecting to feel what I felt. Does that make sense?”
“Absolutely” she nodded “I feel like things had been a little…” she paused “fuzzy? Before. But after?” She swallowed hard “I thought about that kiss more than I probably should have.” Her gaze dropped to her lap “dreamt about it more than I should have”
Tim felt his heart hammer in his chest at her confession. No words formed, he just stared at her as she fiddled nervously with the hem of her shirt.
Slowly, he reached his hand out. Sliding his fingers along her jaw until her face was resting in his large hand, he lifted her face towards his and placed a single gentle kiss to her lips. As quick as the first, in her apartment but with all the feelings, all the meaning neither of them had been free to express at the time.
“Ok.” Tim said sitting back again “so how many grandchildren are you thinking exactly”
Lucy’s hearty laugh echoed out into the night “Tim!” He was beginning to think her love language was whacking him on the shoulder
“Well I’m just saying, we might not want to take it too slow or…” and just like that they were back to their gentle teasing.
They finally finished their food and arranged that their next date would see Tim cooking for her at his place and after 3 failed attempts at saying goodnight at their cars, that just saw them out of breath and Lucy with wild hair, Tim was finally in his truck on his way home.
He would see her again in the morning and he new just the thought would send him off to a blissful sleep and just maybe he’d have a few dreams of his own.

i can't believe i live in a timeline where lucy is gonna feel prompted to tell tim she's in love with him after witnessing him fall unconscious and thinking she's lost him or could potentially lose him and only really realizing in that moment how either of their lives could change in an instant what with the line of work they're in.
#*carly catalogs#IT'S SO CLICHÈ BUT GOD I EAT IT UP#I EAT THAT SHIT UUUPPPPP!!!!!#like yeah she's seen him get hurt plenty of times#but they're officially dating now.... so the impact of either one of them witnessing the other get hurt is gonna be infinitely more INSANE#cause she wasn't there when he was dangling off that parking ramp with aaron#and she thought she didn't have to worry about his spinal surgery#and even though she was clearly very worried about him when she first entered his room#once he assured he was going to make a full recovery they picked right back up with their bantering#idk this just feels.... different... like so much more#especially if they're technically still in a fight#... like.... that fights not gonna matter anymore once it's light's out for that pretty pretty princess#the rookie#the rookie s6#tim bradford#lucy chen#chenford#otp: you know me so well#took an edible can you tell?????

‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️😍🥰❤️😘‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
I cannot even begin to describe the insane amount of Chenford content we got in just ONE EPISODE. The cast & crew did not disappoint & I’ve still not processed everything. Like omg you guys — Lucy and Tim finally had their first official date and their first kiss as Chenford. No undercover, no more pretending. All real. All feelings. All them. Just the two of them. Together. How it’s supposed to be.
“That’s how it works. That’s how you he got the girl.” — this modified Taylor Swift lyric says it all

Chenford Fanfic: Just Us (Finally)
The Rookie Fanfiction | Chenford | One shot | 1.3K | Rated T | Post-5x09 | Episode 5x10 alternate take | First Date | First Kiss
Here's my short and sweet 5x10 spec fic that I didn't get to post before last night's episode.
Read on AO3 (linked again below the summary and gif)
Summary: Tim picks Lucy up for their first date.
-----------
“Do you still want to do this?”
“Yes.” Her voice was soft, but her conviction was firm. “Of course I do. But I almost feel like we should stay in. Going out makes it feel too real.”
Tim stooped almost imperceptibly, lowering himself so that the difference in their height didn’t seem so stark. “Real sounds like a good thing.” He gave her a small, reassuring smile.
“It is. It definitely is,” Lucy reassured him in kind. “But real also means that if we mess things up, that will be real too.”
Read on AO3.
