Chapter 2: Nicknames

A week went past after the incident, but Hank couldn't forget you. Connor had informed him that he had made sure you were safe and your family was called to the hospital to get you. That should have been the end of it, but Hank couldn't exactly shake off your scent when you went into heat, but it wasn't something a beer wouldn't fix. Honestly, Hank hated himself when he marched into the police station in hangover with Connor tailing right behind his friend.

"Remind me not to drink ever again..." The old lieutenant grumbled and Connor nodded with a light amused smile. "Will you listen to me this time?"

"Fuck off...!" Hank said and just as he and Connor were about to enter the private section where all the detectives did their paperwork when Hank accidentally bumped a bypasser with his elbow.

"Sorry," He grunted a half-hearted apology and was about to continue when suddenly the person he bumped replied, "Sorry!"

Hank froze and quickly turned to look and saw you standing there with your eyes wide open as you looked at him in the same shock as he looked at you. He hadn't noticed you since your heat was over and you didn't smell like pheromones like you had a week ago.

"O- Oh! You're the Grizzly Man!"

Hank blinked and Connor quickly raised his hand over his lips, trying to quickly hide a brief grin that rose there. Hank glanced at his partner over his shoulder, but Connor had already wiped the smile off from his face. The lieutenant turned his attention back to you. "What did you just call me?"

"Oh, I'm sorry!" You yelped and averted your eyes down as blush rose to your cheeks. "I have a pretty bad memory so I give nicknames to people who I think are worth being remembered!"

Worth? The question must have been evident on the lieutenant's face because you flinched and started to stammer in as your eyes flicked from left to right, down and up, trying to find something to lock onto. "I mean-! Not like I- I mean...!"

You closed your eyes and took a deep breath, counting backward from ten to one. When you were done, you were notably calmer and when you opened your eyes, Hank could see how your pretty irises twinkled in the station's fluorescent lamp.

"I'm sorry, what I meant to say is that you saved me and I couldn't let myself forget you so I came up with a nickname for you so I could thank you!"

"Thank me?" Hank repeated and you nodded with a light smile. "You saved me from that disgusting man. No one has ever done something so nice or kind to me."

The lieutenant blinked, speechless, but luckily Connor joined the conversation. "What brought you here?"

You blinked and blushed. "Well, uh, this is, I- I was summoned here to give my statement about the accident that occurred last week..." You glanced at the older man and your blush turned darker, "But I really hoped I would meet you here."

"Well... You did." Hank shrugged awkwardly. "You're welcome."

He turned to leave and you blinked, disappointment evident on the way how your smile froze and fell. Connor saw everything that was happening and quickly joined in.

"Actually, the lieutenant hasn't had breakfast yet and lunch is rolling in." The android said and Hank turned to glare at his friend. "Connor-!"

"Oh, well, I haven't either!" You said quickly and looked at the older man with a smile, "Would you let me take you out for lunch?"

Honestly, Hank was about to turn you down but then he saw how you looked at him with your eyes sparkling hopefully, he couldn't bring himself to do that.

"Fine." He grunted and turned to leave. "I'll show the way so just follow me."

"Y- yes!" You yelped and quickly ran after the man and his bigger steps. Hank held the door open for you and opened it for you when you made it to the canteen and you thanked him both times. You followed Hank to a booth and sat opposite him, and the two of you were almost immediately greeted by a waitress.

"Hi, lieutenant! Haven't seen you for a while!" The woman said and then she turned to look at you. "Hi, there sweetie! You're a new face!"

"Good day," You greeted carefully and the waitress smiled, "You're a polite one! Are you lost, or is this old bastard holding you for ransom?"

"Keep your nose to yourself, Bella." Hank snapped and the waitress laughed lightly and took out a pen and notebook. "What can I get for you two?"

"The usual and black coffee," Hank said putting the menu down and looked at you. You were looking menu hard as you tried to figure out what to order. Bella noticed and smiled down at you, "Would you like something to drink before you decide?"

"Uh, yes please." You smiled and put the menu down, "I could take a coffee also."

"Two hot bean juices coming right up!" Bella grinned and fetched a coffee pot and poured you both a cup of coffee. Hank took his coffee and took a big gulp before putting his cup down and looking at you, but your attention was on your coffee.

"Do you need milk or sugar?" He asked and you flinched and looked at him. "If it's okay?"

"I'll get you some." Hank was about to get up when Bella suddenly appeared and put the bowl of sugar and container of milk before the two of you. "Sorry, I almost forgot these!"

"Thank you!" You smiled at the waitress and immediately added the sugar and milk as you pleased. Hank looked at you take a sip and sigh pleasedly now that you got it modeled into your favor.

"So... You gave your statement about the accident from last week?" Hank asked and you nodded. "Yes, but... I was lying... It wasn't the only reason I came..." You confessed and Hank raised his eyebrow at you. You blushed and looked to the side, too shy to look at him. "I wanted to meet you again so I could-!"

"Look, kid, I stop you right here." Hank raised his hands and shook his head, "You don't owe me anything, I just did what anyone else would have done."

"But I-!"

"No buts! I can pay for my lunch but if you insist and if that helps you feel better then I will allow it this time."

"Yes, I'll pay, naturally, but that's not the only reason I wanted to meet you." You said and Hank blinked in mild confusion. "If that's not it then what is it?"

"I was thinking-! No, wishing-! No! I was... I was hoping you would go out with me?" You asked with the softest voice and Hank froze. He blinked. "What?"

"I was afraid when the man took me with him and I couldn't do anything about it... People blindly believed what he told them about me and left me alone with him... But not you!" You exclaimed and smiled. "You and your partner came and saved me... And when I saw you my heart went wild...!"

"Look, I believe you're a really nice girl." Hank said and you smiled, but he wasn't finished, "But you were under influence of your first heat and the first is always the worst. You just saw another alpha and-!"

"That's it!" You said and he looked at you in confusion, "I know you are alpha and when I got a scent of you I felt this new need in me... But you did the right thing and protected me and that is the sweetest thing anyone has done to me. That and..."

You looked around the canteen and when no one was paying attention you looked at him again with a new flush on your cheeks. "I like you."

"What?"

"I like older men." You sighed and smiled as you reached over the table and put your hand over the lieutenant's hand. Hank looked at your hand over his and then you. You were smiling to him hopefully, "Give me a chance to prove to you, that I like you as you are. Not as alpha, but as a man. Please...?"

Hank was dumbfounded. No one had paid attention to him like you were in years. He had stopped dating a long time ago and rarely got any action in the bedroom, often relying on his hand and porn magazine. There must have been something seriously wrong with you.

...But so must had been in Hank.

"Damn it, why the fuck no...?" He nodded and reached for his coffee, taking a sip of his lukewarm coffee before looking at you. "Name's Hank Anderson. You got a name?"

You positively beamed in joy as you told him your name. Hank nodded and drank the rest of his coffee, but he still had one more question before the two of you would ask for new cups of coffee and order some food to your table.

"So... You gotta nickname to Connor?"

"The android with you? Puppy Eyes." You said and Hank choked on a laugh. "Yeah, that's about right."
