If there was a Derek and Garcia of the LAPD, it had to be you and Tim. You were practically work husband and wife at this point, and were each other’s first contact on cases or undercover work, so Lopez didn’t really argue, of course— who would when you were one of the only people to get Tim to loosen up? But Tim had no clue who Derek and Garcia were as he only watched sport, so if anyone made a Criminal Minds reference, poor guy was a lost puppy.

It wasn’t anything like you two were dating, it was friendly and fun, and it really lit up each other’s day. Even if it alarmed some newcomers who didn’t know yours and Tim’s dynamic.

“Hey, baby girl.” Tim grinned as he walked into the break room, checking you out — workplace flirting — and he had a good case to work on, so why wouldn’t you wanna tag in? Eh? Eh?

You never missed a chance to flirt back, which was comforting (HR has not been notified yet, so green light).

He caught the look of post-sex glow on your face — his girl got laid last night — and couldn’t help but comment, naturally. “You’re lookin’ extra gorgeous today.” He knew what a one night stand looked like.

It was to the detriment of professionalism as a police officer, but everyone needed a little pick me up before a bad day even happens, why can’t yours be each other?
