Gavin POV
I woke with a terrible headache. I looked at my alarm clock to see some pills and water and a note? I grabbed it and it said,
Dear Detective,
I went out to buy some food for breakfast, you didn't have any. I should be back soon.
-Nines
I just turned over and went back to sleep only to hear the front door open. I got up and headed to the door.
"Morning dipshit." I say
"Good morning Detective, I got stuff to make food." He says
"Whatever." I say
"You have work in 15 minutes Detective, you should hurry up or we will be late." He says
"I don't care, stop calling me Detective, it's Gavin." I grumble walking to the bathroom.
Nines POV
I walk into the kitchen to make Gavin his breakfast. I decide to make him waffles because why not.
I look up a recipe and get to work. I make the batter and put it in the waffle maker. I wait for the beep and grab the perfect waffle and put it on a plate. I add some whip cream and some berries.
Gavin POV
I walk towards the delicious smell coming from the kitchen, only to see Nines.
"What did you make?" I ask trying to look
"Hello Gavin, I made you waffles. I hope you enjoy them." He says smiling to which I respond with an in audible thank you.
I sit at the table and dig in. Nines comes by with a cup of coffee in his hands.
"Thanks tin can." I say, he looks at me and smiles. I look away and take a sip of coffee.
"Gavin, we have to leave in 5 minutes." He says.
"Shit!" I grab my things and rush to the car waiting for Nines before jamming the key into my car and driving off to work. I turn on the radio and Holla Back Girl comes on, and of course I start singing who wouldn't?
"UH HUH THIS MY SHIT! ALL THE GIRLS STOMP YOUR FEET LIKE THIS!" At this point I'm just screaming the lyrics, probably sounding like an idiot. I then hear a chuckle and look at Nines who is smiling.
"What are you looking at?" I say over the blaring song in the background.
"Your singing is... good." He says to which I start to heat up a little.
"Gavin, your heart rate has increased, are you ok?" He asked, "shit" I whisper.
"Y-yeah it's just h-hot in here." I say while pretending to fan myself off. He just smirks and looks out the window. I start to heat up more and put the ac on full blast.
~Le time skip~
We arrive at the station and walk in. I immediately notice Hank and Connor chatting. I walk towards the break room to get coffee and while I passed them, I looked at Connor and stuck up my middle finger. He just looked at me and glared. I put my hand on my forehead and made an L and stuck out my tongue and continued walking to get a coffee.
~Nines POV~
I walk to my desk and sit down. Connor comes up to me and starts talking.
"Hi!" He says with enthusiasm.
"Hello Connor." I say looking at him.
"How can you deal with Detective Reed? He is very rude." He says looking at me quizzically.
"He is... bearable. He can be good at times." I say to him while glaring because he insulted Gavin. Wait why do I care? He is a jerk, I shouldn't care.
I was snapped out of my thoughts with Connor screaming. "NINES!"
"Huh? What?" I said confused
"You zoned out for a minute, I tried calling you name it didn't work." He says
"Oh sorry." I say quietly
"It's ok! I wanted to say bye and have a good day! Bye!" He says enthusiastically.
"Goodbye Connor." I say robotically
Connor walks away right before Gavin comes back
"What were you talking about dipshit?" He asked
"Connor was asking me about working with you." I say wandering why he wants to know. He just nods and looks at his computer
~Le time skip~
Gavin POV
After a long boring shift, it was finally over. I get up and gather my stuff.
"You coming Nines?" I ask
"I thought you didn't want me to stay with you?" He says I immediately feel my face heat up.
"It's nice having someone cook without having to do anything dipshit." I say hoping he wouldn't notice my face. He just nodded and got his stuff and got up.
We walked to the car and drove home while I sung every song and he just chuckled. When we got home we went in and my cat came up to us and she rub up against me. I picked her up like a baby and cradled her.
"Hi baby, I missed you." I whisper while scratching behind her ear and she starts to purr. I walk to the couch and sit down with her.
"Gavin, what is your cats name?" Nines says startling me. I honestly forgot he was there.
"Her name is Cookie. If you couldn't tell, she is a Calico and she is adorable! Yes you are!" I say petting her, earning purrs.
"C-can I hold her?" Nines asked. I was startled that he asked.
"O-of course!" I say patting the seat next to me.
He sits down and I hand him Cookie and he starts petting her, earning soft purrs.
"She really likes you! She isn't usually this friendly." I say earning a look of interest from Nines
"Where did you get her?" Asks and I immediately reply
"I found her when she was a kitten about 2 years ago. She was hiding in a little plastic bag and people were just walking by ignoring her or some would look at her and laugh and keep walking. I immediately picked her up and took her to the vet and got her checked out. She had fleas, her leg was damaged and she was malnourished. I took her home and I cleaned her up and took care of her, or she took care of me." I say kinda feeling emotional.
"That is interesting Gavin." He says looking down at Cookie who was asleep in his lap.
I turn on the T.V and put on The Office, one of my favorite shows. I start to get tired and without realizing it I doze off.
