Fill: A Strange Understanding.di_daydreamerMay 9 2016, 15:36:42 UTC
He's really not sure how he can define this, them. He likes definitions, to be able to point to a word or a phrase and know exactly what it is and what it means. When he thinks about the two of them as a unit (which he has been doing more and more) there are a couple of definitions he can use. The first one is collegues, the image of the Inspector and his sergeant, boss and (opinionated and grumpy) subordinate. The second word that can define their relationship is friends. Yet somehow it sounds wrong. Not enought time spent together in their off hours. Nights at the pub, dinner at home, and some shared hobby is not a noticable part of their partnership.
Partnership sounds oddly right.
There is trust, and there is (unvoiced) affection.
Such as the gentle look in Miles' light gray eyes when he tells him (yet again) that he will be by his side whatever happens. The firm grip of his hand on his arm when the sight of certain crime scenes get to him.
There is a form of understanding underlying all of this that he has never felt before.
He can read Miles better than any other person in his life. The rise on an eyebrow or the twitch at the corner of his mouth speaking volumes.
That look that says "I know, I understand"
Then there is those touches to the inside of the wrist. When he reach for Miles, or he reaches for him. He can't properly define those moments either. Other then that it speaks of need and reassurance. "You're still here" and "I need your support" When it comes to the job there is nobody else's support he wants and needs as much as Miles'. When it comes to his personal life it's beginning to turn into much of the same.
Miles knows. He does not mind that he knows. There is an understanding, and understanding is good. At least for the two of them who have never come to the point of voicing too much of their feelings.
Their feelings for each other.
There is a strange understanding.
And he gives into the need for a kiss.
(Hope you will get a proper fill as well, but I had to give this one a try)

Well, I don't know how much more 'proper' this could be, because it's basically perfect! Gorgeously written and so totally and completely them I could pretty much melt. I just adore it, thank you so much! :)
