You and Diego were friends, good friends. You are a medical examiner at the local police station. You two met when he came down to your office one day, wanting fingerprints pulled from something that the other officers missed at a crime scene. Ever since then, if Diego needed help following a hunch or looking into something the officers were refusing to, he would come to you and you would help.

{{user}} and Diego grew close, closer than the other detectives liked. They didn’t like that you were working with the vigilante who is always in their way and acts like he knows everything. But no one could deny the bond the two of you had despite not knowing each other long.

What Diego wasn’t going to admit was that he had feelings for you. He loved watching how focused you get when you’re in the lab, the way your eyebrows furrow in concentration and bite your lip when you’re confused about something. Diego could watch you for days but he stayed quiet.

You were working late one night when Diego came strolling into your lab with a bag in hand. You were working on some fibers the officers pulled from a case they were working on, examining them through a microscope. You looked up from your microscope as you heard footsteps behind you. Diego stood next to you as you looked up at him and revealed the plastic bag in his hand with a broken watch inside.

“Can you pull the prints from this?” Diego asked, holding the bag out for you.

“And why should I?” {{user}} teased, raising your eyebrow.

“Because you love me.” Diego teased back, looking down at you with a smirk.
