Rating: T (just to be safe)
Pairing: Nico and Dani
Disclaimer: Not mine for real but I am just playing with them a little.
Beta: Don’t have one but if someone wants to volunteer that would be great!
Summary: In “Spell it out” (2.7), Vera comments on the amount of texts and calls between Nico and Dani. In “Shrink or Swim” (2.1), we find out Dani and Nico haven’t talked much in the 6 week off season. Episodes 2.1 through 2.7 take place between mid - February and mid - July which is when Vera gets access to Nico’s phone. How many texts are considered “a lot” in 5 months between friends?
Text messages are in italics. Comments and constructive criticism is always appreciated.
Here is number two. Hopefully more to come. I may reorder them later but for now, you get them as they take shape in my brain. ~ Alesia
"The Smallest Gestures”
~~Takes place during “Spell It Out” 2.7
Just as she watches TK put his hand over his heart in the sweetest gesture, Dani’s phone vibrates.
Nico: You did well, Dr. Santino.
She smiles knowing what a tremendous complement that is coming from Nico.
Dani: Why thank you, Mr. Careles
As she hits send, Dani glances around the crowd, expecting to see Nico holding up a wall.
Nico: You are welcome. He cares for you, respects you, and listens to you - things TK doesn’t give freely.
Dani blushed, exhilarated by the events of the afternoon and this tight lipped man’s honest words.
Dani: I care about him deeply and am proud to be within the small circle of people he trusts…along with you.
She wondered what he would say to such an open compliment.
Nico: Have a good afternoon, Dani.
Yep, that’s Nico - evade and defect, Dani thought as she headed towards Matt’s car for a ride back to the facility with a huge smirk on her face.
