"My place isn't that far, we can crash there." He slung his arm around Beckett as he spoke, keeping his hand on Ryan's back as they walked. The touch grounded them, held them together, and after a couple blocks he could feel the wall of tension that had built up through this case finally beginning to crack.
Hi flails. Beautiful line about them grounding each other, and the thought of them all crashing at his place makes me ridiculously delighted.
And they were trying, all three of them, not just Beckett. Ryan had matched her drink for drink. Esposito was holding back, somehow he'd been unofficially nominated the designated "get everyone home safely" person. Which, since none of them were driving, meant he just ended up drinking less. Still enough, though.
I like that. Also, Ryan starting the toast.
I also really enjoy how despite the seriousness and the dark tone of what has happened, this still has the elements of lightness in it - Beckett drunk but still exasperated, and fending off Esposito's help; and not even trying to help Ryan (as well as Ryan heading off to flag a taxi - the images that appeared!).
Thank you for this lovely fic. :D
