"Hey! Dimples!"

Of all things, that's what grabs his notice. He looks up from his iPad to see you standing outside the situation room, waving at him through the glass and pointing at the scanner. Spying your ID badge on the counter beside him, he laughs as he strides over to let you in.

You punch at his shoulder lightly as the door slides open and you walk inside. Shaking your head as you grab your badge and clip it back onto your belt, you frown at his amused smile and reach for one of the other devices to update yourself on the investigation.

"You get anything from that partial yet?" You ask as he joins you, bumping your arm with his as you scroll. Various bits of information you've gathered thus far are displayed across the plasma in front of you - mugshots, bank transfers, phone records, all of which are the makings of a very late night for you.

"Uh- " Street scans through the lines of text on the screen, narrowing his eyes as he flicks through the reams of information. "No, came back having been stolen from a parking lot a few days ago. Sent Cabrera to go find the unit who took the report, see if they can be of any use."

You nod your approval and a silence falls between you. After a beat you glance up with a grin and where you expect to see one looking back, you're instead met with Street's familiar stony expression of concentration.

Nothing to be bothered by, you think, until you open your mouth to speak and he walks away to the other side of the room and begins to work on one of the computers. Checking that there's nothing pressing with the case, you slide the iPad back into the slot on the wall and stride over to him. He glances up as you approach but says nothing, not even as you lean against the desk and poke him gently on the arm to draw his attention.

"What?" You ask unsurely, seeking out his avoiding eyes. Crossing your arms, you lean in and watch as he finally looks back at you. "Did I say something?"

"No." Is his answer, and though it's truthful enough you're still not satisfied. You arch an eyebrow and he rolls his eyes at you, but he continues with a shake of his head. "No, just- Dimples? Really? Thought that one was in the rear view."

"Like we'd leave you off that easily." You laugh, and this time he does too. But you still press on, just in case. "Why, does it bother you? I'll st- "

He stops you immediately with a shake of his head. "No, no. It's fine, really."

That convinces you. You know if he really was bothered, he'd tell you - even if he really didn't want to. You glance quickly around you to ensure you're alone before you move again, and this time it's to kiss his cheek gently.

"You know I only tease you 'cause I love you." You smile at his slightly startled expression, and the blush that tints his cheeks at the show of affection. "Right?"

He kisses your forehead with a contented smile. "Course I do."
