After a week of staying in, Jake was ready to get back to work. Although Jake would have loved to spend more time with just Amy, he was excited to see everyone, and get back to the job he loved.
The first night was forever burned in his memory. Amy came into his room late, wearing an old band t-shirt and pajama shorts. Her soft brown hair was down and wavy. When he asked her what was wrong, she said, "I was just making sure you were still here." He smiled and hugged her. She stayed in his room, and after they talked for a while, she fell asleep beside him, hands locked with his. After that, they always slept in his room.
"Almost ready Jake?" Amy called from the kitchen. The name felt strange on her tongue, after always calling him 'Peralta', but it somehow felt right.
"Uh yeah. Ames can you come here for a minute?" he asked with some hesitation.
When she came into his room, he was sitting on his bed in dark wash jeans and a dark grey t-shirt. His sling sat on the bed next to a green and navy blue button up shirt and a navy hoodie. "What's up?" she asked.
"Um," he said nervously, "I need some help with my shirt."
He half expected her to laugh, but wasn't surprised at her response.
"Oh!" she said, picking up his button up, "Sorry. I didn't even think about that."
She gently slid his left arm through the sleeve and pulled in over to his right arm, where he slipped his arm into it. He stood up and she buttoned his shirt up for him. Then she grabbed his hoodie and did the same. After she zipped it up halfway, she helped him get his arm back into the sling.
"Thanks Amy," he said. "Hey do you have my badge still?"
"Oh yeah. Just one second," she said, digging through her purse. "Here," she said as she stood on her tiptoes and slid his badge around his neck. She was so close to him, she could feel his heart beat. Gently she tugged on his badge, pulling him down a bit. She looked at him for a moment before leaning in and kissing him gently on the lips.
When she pulled away, she turned around immediately and picked up her purse. "So are you ready now?"
She could almost hear the smile spread across his face. "Yeah. I have everything I need now."
