Detective Y/N Santiago [SEASONS 1 - 3]

Season 2 - Episode 11: Talk

"I heard you have a new boyfriend?"

You looked up from your plate of food and looked to your father. You nervously glanced over at your aunt and uncle who were there at the dinner table with you. Once you looked to them, They gave you encouraging looks. You then turned back to your father.

"Y-Yeah... I have a b-boyfriend." You admitted nervously. "It's alright." Your father reassured you. "What's his name though?" He then asked. You sighed, "His name is Ian." You informed him, earning a nod from your dad. Your dad then realised something and looked up from his plate. "Wait, isn't he one of the new detectives at the Nine-Nine?" He questioned you. You nodded in reply.

"I see..." Your father said, continuing to eat.

"Hey, Jake?"

Your uncle turned to you as you stood by his desk. "Yes? How can I help you?" Jake asked you with a smile. You looked over to Ian and Arthur who were having a quiet conversation in the corner of the bullpen.

You sighed, "Is it just me or is Ian more distant?" You asked your uncle, looking at your boyfriend talk to his best friend. Jake turned his head to the direction you were looking in. "Well, I only see you guys together whenever you're at work so I can't really judge." Jake shrugged. "I usually guess that you spend even more time together outside of work." He continued, looking back at you.

"But I can't really judge because he is your boyfriend and you know him better than I do." Jake said with a small shrug. "So, Do you think that he's being distant from you? If so, what makes you think that?" Jake asked you as you sat down on the chair next to his desk.

You sighed, "I don't know. I'm scared he might be cheating on me. I mean, he rarely talks to me at night. Less than he usually would, actually." You pointed out. "He sends Good Morning texts, but now he doesn't send Good Night texts anymore." You explained to your uncle who was listening. "But other than that, we still have our occasional dates and lunch breaks." You concluded with a shrug. Jake was silent for a second, thinking about the situation.

"Maybe he just needs a break with those things? I mean, the both of you are hard working detectives so I guess he just needs to work on himself as well. Maybe when you're ready, you could talk to him about it." Jake explained to you as you listened to him. "I guess so." You said as you looked down at the floor for a second, thinking.

"I didn't think I'd be talking to my uncle about this. Usually I'd tell this stuff to Aunt Amy, that's why." You said, looking back to Jake. The both of you chuckled and smiled. "Well, if you ever need anything to talk about, I'm always here. Even if it's about boys or something. I'm always here for you." Your uncle reassured you. You smiled and hugged Jake. He wasn't sure what to do at first, but then he hugged you back, smiling.

"Awww! This is adorable!" Charles watched you and Jake as you shared the hug. Jake shook his head, smiling a little bit,

"Not now, Charles!"

"Babe?..."

Ian looked up to you from his work. "Yeah?" He said, looking at you. "Can we talk?... In private?" You asked your boyfriend. He nodded and stood up from his chair, "Yeah, sure!" He replied with a smile. You smiled back at him and took his hand, leading him to the records rooms.

While walking to the interrogation room, you saw Jake give you an approving thumbs up and nod as you passed him. You smiled at him slightly in response.

You and Ian finally got into the records room. When you both walked in, you shut the door behind you and locked it so that nobody would barge in mid-conversation. You walked over to Ian, who was glancing around the room, slightly nervous.

"Alright.. Let's talk." You said, making Ian look back at you. "Okay then. What do you want to talk about?" He asked, leaning against one of the shelves. You sighed, "Are you... cheating on me?" You asked him. Ian looked at you in shock. "What? No! Of course I'm not, babe. What makes you think that?" He asked you, worrying about what he could've possibly done.

"W-Well.. you rarely respond to my texts at night anymore.. and you're always having these secret conversations with Arthur! A-And you look like you're talking about another girl with him." You pointed out, trying not to cry. Ian sighed and shook his head.

"I've been acting distant lately because..." Ian sighed again. "Because I've been quite busy. My.. uncle... needs a lot of help. He's going through a.. difficult time." He continued to explain. "And on top of that, we have the case to work on." Ian continued.

"O-Oh... I'm so sorry, I.." You looked down nervously. "I shouldn't have assumed anything." You apologised. "No no, Y/N/N, You're okay! You don't to worry about a thing, babe." Ian reassured you, placing both of his hands on either sides of your face gently and looking down at you. You sighed "Can I at least help you with anything?" You offered to help, making Ian shake his head. "You being here for me is the best thing that can help me." He smiled, making you smile back.

You and Ian gazed into each other's eyes in awe. After a few moments, Ian gently placed his hand on your cheek and kissed you softly. You had a fluttery feeling in your stomach as his lips met yours. You were hesitant to kiss back, but eventually you did.

You felt Ian's arm snake around your waist as you kissed. You placed your hand on his cheek gently and wrapped your arm around his neck, pulling him closer. The kiss deepened a bit after a few moments. Then it started to get passionate by the second.

The make out session lasted about 10 minutes, only for it to be interrupted by someone knocking on the door. You and Ian broke the kiss as you heard the person at the door. Ian was slightly annoyed.

"Ian, Y/N, we're having a meeting in the briefing room in about 5 minutes." You heard Jake's voice say. "Alright! We'll be right there!" You called out, hearing Jake's footsteps as he walked away from the door. You then looked to Ian, "We'll continue this later, alright?" You reassured him, planting a kiss on his cheek. Ian nodded and smiled. You smiled back at him before looking back at the door,

"We should probably head to the meeting..."
