Danny and Lindsay's apartment, Monday afternoon

[i_miss_don]

Danny slipped out of the shower unnoticed, using Casey's presence as a chance to get Lindsay's gifts together before the game. He didn't want them to be late, but at the same time, he wanted her to get the chance to open this stuff before they left. Whistling to himself, he quickly wrapped everything, even the gift that.. okay, y'know, he was

Lindsay had just said goodbye to Casey and turned to see Danny coming out of the bedroom, laughing as she saw his hat and shirt. "Are you trying to get beaten up, Messer?"

[i_miss_don]

"I'm allowed to cheer for my.. well, it's sorta my team." Danny grinned, moving his arms around Lindsay's waist. He laughed and kissed her neck. "You can protect me."

[csi_montana]

She laughed and leaned into him. "Yeah, yeah. Good thing I'm bringing my badge, then, isn't it?"

Lindsay wrapped her arms around his shoulders and rubbed her nose against his. "Hey you," she said softly, a loving smile on her face.

[i_miss_don]

He snorted, breaking into a smile. "Yeah, and it's why I'm planning to bring mine, too."

Danny lifted his head to kiss the tip of her nose. "Hey. Happy birthday," he said quietly, tightening his hold on her.

"Dork," she said with a grin.

Lindsay giggled as he kissed her nose, her fingers stroking his cheek. "Thank you. Best one I've had in ... twenty years. And Casey brought me a cake!" She pointed towards the kitchen.

[i_miss_don]

"You love me," he said simply.

Danny laughed, gently tugging on her hair. "In 20 years? Seriously?" He let go of her, moving to head for the kitchen before stopping. "Tell her thank you for me, too. You want your presents before I get myself a piece?"

[csi_montana]

She nodded. "With all my heart," she said softly.

"Give or take," she said with a shrug. Lindsay laughed at him. "Food first, huh Danny? Let me be greedy and give me my presents," she said with a grin.

[i_miss_don]

He grinned. "I love you, Lindsay Monroe."

Sticking his tongue out at her, he laughed. "You'll have to tell me about those 20 years, so I can help you make up for it." Danny shrugged, motioning towards the bedroom. "It's always food first, didn't you noticed? Presents are on the bed, waiting for you."

[csi_montana]

"Love you too, Danny Messer," she said happily.

Lindsay raised an eyebrow at him. "More important than watching your girlfriend open the presents that you put so much thought into?" She was purely teasing, but it was totally worth it for the look on his face. "Or maybe more important than sex?"

[i_miss_don]

"Sometimes more important." Danny smirked, sliding his hands into his back pockets before his jaw dropped. He swallowed before peering at her. "But.. Montana, nothing is more important than sex. Haven't I proved that today, huh?"

[csi_montana]

She laughed, shaking her head. "Well, true. You have proven that," Lindsay grinned at him, reaching for his hand. "C'mon. What if I want to thank you properly?" she said, a naughty gleam in her eye.

[i_miss_don]

He smiled innocently, his eyes twinkling behind his glasses. "If not, I'll have to show you again. After the game." Danny laughed and took Lindsay's hand, squeezing it. "Thank me after the game. You can spend all night thanking me." He winked playfully.

[csi_montana]

Lindsay tugged him against her and wrapped her arms around his waist, her hands finding their way into his back pockets. "Gonna get cold tonight, you planning on keeping me warm?" she grinned.

"I can definitely do that," Lindsay whispered, kissing him gently. "Definitely." She backed into the bedroom, not letting go of him.

[i_miss_don]

Danny pulled her close, lightly smacking her on the butt as he kissed her mouth. "Yeah, I was planning on keeping you close, keeping you nice and toasty. Inside and out," he teased, laughing.

"We don't have time for more than this." He nearly whined, smirking as he gently pushed her into the bedroom, walking her back until her legs hit the bed. "Hopefully you like it all."
