OTP Writing Challenge- Day One

So I found a 30 Day OTP Writing Challenge on Tumblr and I just couldn't resist it! It's probably very unlikely that I'll be able to keep up the streak of posting every day, so I'll have to post when I can. Hopefully Series 24 will be out by the time I've finished it :)

Day 1 Prompt:

Age

Do the otp plan on spending their lives together? How do they imagine their relationship years from now?

A short but sweet one to start off with!

Another case done and dusted, thank god. Nikki breathed a sigh of relief as she escorted an elderly couple to the entrance. They'd come in to help her wrap up a few loose ends, the original body being their sons.

Nikki couldn't help but pick up on how loving their relationship seemed. They were obviously devastated that they had lost their child, but tried to see the positive side of things. He'd been struggling anyway, and so his death may have put him out of his misery. And the couple, they were so kind with one another, making sweet jokes at every given moment, constantly complimenting each other. It was something Nikki hoped she had when she was older.

As she watched them wander off down the corridor, arms linked, Jack walked into the room, sitting down at his desk. Nikki glanced back and forward between the couple and her boyfriend, a wide smile upon her face.

"Do you think we'll be like that when we're that age?"

Jack glanced up from what he was engrossed in, his face bemused.

"What?"

"When we're old. Do you think we'll still be making eyes at each other across the living room in opposite armchairs, or barely speaking a word to one another?"

A grin formed upon Jack's face, rising to his feet and making his way over to her. His strong arms wrapped around her waist, Nikki comforted by the sudden affection. She leant into him, their bodies fitting together like pieces of a puzzle. The height difference between them made it easy for Jack to rest his chin on top of her head.

"Are you saying you're going to be able to put up with me for that long?"

Nikki tilted her head back, looking up at him, gazing into his gorgeous green eyes. She was so hopelessly in love with the man, that she couldn't imagine a life without him. But, she'd always wondered if he felt the same, if he thought that they could live on together until they passed. With a roll of her eyes, she laughed.

"What do you think?" she exclaimed. Jack smirked, knowing exactly how she felt.

"Well in that case," Jack pressed his lips to her shoulder, before carrying on, "we are going to be very much in love, just like we are now. We'll go for walks each day, and I'll cook you dinner each night. On days when we don't feel like doing much, we'll stay in and read books and watch films. And every second I can, I'll be making an excuse to wrap my arms around you." He pulled Nikki even closer, her stomach filling with butterflies. A giggle fell from Nikki's lips as she turned toward him. That scenario sounded ever so appealing indeed.

"You're so soppy," Nikki shook her head, receiving a grin from Jack.

"But, that's why you love me, isn't it?" he said softly. He bent his head low, their lips centimetres away from each other.

"If you say so," she replied with a smile, before closing the gap between them.
