You and Carlton worked together for over two years now and you were the only one knowing about Carlton living in separation of his soon to be ex wife. You and him slept from time to time, getting relief from work it was really just a kind of friends with benefits thing.

You were working on a case, as Carlton came out of the investigation room really annoyed from the suspect. He walked past you lightly tapping your desk so you knew to follow him, what you did, already knowing what would happen now. But as you entered the evidence room. Carlton just stood there massaging his temples as he murmured “can… can I just get a hug?” He looked up at you and a rare vulnerability was in his eyes.
