Fic rec: Divertimento by koaladeb (CSI Miami)
Title: Divertimento
Author: koaladeb
Fandom: CSI Miami
Pairing: Horatio/Calleigh
Why you should read this story: Because it's Horatio and Calleigh, and flirting, and ice cream. And did I mention the flirting?
Safely ensconced in Horatio's office, Calleigh and Horatio took seats across the desk from each other and shared a conversation as easily as the coffee they traded back and forth. The volleyball game was, of course, an eventual topic of conversation. Calleigh was surprised that in response to her question about playing more games, Horatio responded positively.
"I think playing regular games would be a great idea," he said. "It's a great way to relax, build more camaraderie among the team.besides, any activity that lets me see you the way you looked last night is a good one in my book."
Calleigh could only gape at him as he winked at her, completely forgetting the coffee in her hand. He had done it again, complimented her, flirted with her, and once again Calleigh felt herself hovering in unfamiliar territory. As she fought for a witty comeback, Horatio leaned across the desk and pulled the mug from her hands, their fingers coming into contact as he did so. He refused to drop his gaze or look contrite, an impudent grin firmly fixed on his face as he insolently drank the last of the coffee.
Calleigh eventually shrugged and conceded the conversation. She reached for the coffee, then glared at Horatio as she took note of the mug's emptiness. "For this I'm telling the guys you're hosting an after-game party next time," she groused. The next words that came out of her mouth took Calleigh completely by surprise. "In addition, I think my ice cream was just bumped up to a full-fledged dessert at the restaurant of my choosing."
