Eric

Monday morning rolled around, and Eric entered the precinct with a distinct feeling of unease. After the rather...intense night at the bar on Friday, Blaine had remained silent throughout the whole weekend. Every time Eric heard his phone go off, or thought someone was at the door, he went tense and broke into a light sweat. None of them had been Blaine, but he had been dreading his return to work.

David was eyeing him as he came through the door. The usual book in his hand was missing, replaced by a lighter and a can of lighter fluid.

“What?” Eric demanded at the man’s scrutiny.

“What what?” David asked innocently.

“You’re the one staring,” Eric told him.

“I’m just looking. I’m supposed to be keeping an eye on the front door, remember?”

“Right, and instead, you’re staring me down and playing with a lighter.”

“Refilling.”

“Whatever. Since when do you smoke?”

“I don’t,” David told him, flipping the lighter open and lighting it. “I just like having one on me. Always have.”

“Ugh, don’t let anyone else hear you say that. The last thing we need is rumors of a firebug in our precinct,” Eric told him.

David’s eyes widened, face losing a shade or two of color. “Shit.”

Eric smirked at him. “Yeah, exactly.”

Smug in his victory, he left David to stare at him as he made his way back toward his office. He wasn’t too proud to admit to a wash of relief at finding it empty. It meant there would be time before he had to face Blaine.

Didn’t stop him from jerking in alarm when his phone buzzed in his pocket, though. Wincing at his overblown reaction, he pulled his phone out to see a message from Sean.

Why is Blaine asking to talk to me?

Eric frowned at his phone.

I have no idea. You ask him.

Pretty sure you should be asking.

Why?

Because.

No. Fuck off.

You’re his partner.

And he’s asking you. Go away.

He tossed his phone onto his desk, ignoring the next set of buzzes. There was no way in hell he was going to argue with his brother. Eric wasn’t even completely sure how Blaine had got Sean’s number in the first place. Then again, he could remember Blaine’s talent for getting into places where he shouldn’t, and knowing things he had no business knowing.

Eric snorted, shaking his head as he remembered all the times Blaine had picked Eric’s pocket, just to irritate him. He would spend several minutes cursing up a storm about whatever he lost, only to turn around and find it placed right in front of him. Meanwhile, Blaine would be looking innocent to all save Eric’s sharp eye, who would catch the gleam of amusement in his friend’s face.

He jerked in surprise when a tall, steaming cup was placed in front of him. The rich smell of coffee filled his nose as he whirled around.

“Morning,” Blaine said, walking toward his desk.

Eric said nothing, watching Blaine warily as the man plopped down behind his desk and powered up his computer. Blaine certainly looked more relaxed than before, though Eric couldn’t quite say how he knew.
