An unexpected request, but a fun one at that. I actually really like how this turned out! Enjoy!

"Hey! Theres a small cat at the window!" You called over to your colleague. A small ginger tabby was perched on the windowsill, leaning into your hand. You cooed at it, as you scratched behind its ear, making it purr softly.

"What have I told you about petting random things, y/n. Shoo! Get out of here!" He shooed the cat away, hissing.

"Well, that's not very nice, it's just a cat! What's so harmless about a cat?"

"It distracts you from work. Now, I'm going out on patrol, while you stay in here and do the paperwork."

"And why can't I go on patrol with you?"

"Because I'm better than you." He snarled, making your heart shatter. You knew you weren't perfect at your job, but comments like that made it 100x worse. He slammed the door on you, leaving you to slump down onto the chair. God, why did he have to be so mean to you all the time. The whole point of cooperation is to work together, not make horrible comments to the other person. After a short while, yiu gathered your thoughts and finally got to start on the paperwork.

Your pen barely touched the paper before you heard a clatter outside.

"Oh for heaven's sakes, what now?" You questioned, frustrated. But, your expression softened to more of a worry as you saw Peace on the floor. Dropping the pen, you rushed outside to his aid, making sure not to hurt him in the process.

"Peace! Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

"Yeah, I'm... Really good, actually, y/n. I feel... Fantastic!" He chirped, a smile on his face. You were completely baffled. What happened to him? Did one of his wires trip? Did he malfunction? What happened to his whole mean persona??
Gathered in your thoughts, you took his hand and lead him inside.

"Hey. I'm going on patrol now. Its my turn."

"Not without me, you aren't." He said, stubbornly.

"What happened to 'you can't go out in patrol because I'm better than you'?"

"Well... I'll admit, I kinda underestimated you. I'm sorry for saying that. I don't know what came over me."

"Hmm... I don't know this new Peace, but I like him alot. Ok, you can come out with me." You were about to go out the door, but a hand grabbed your arm.

"Oh, and, y/n?"

"Yeah, Peace?"

"I love you."

Those words hit you like a bullet, but, surprisingly, not in a bad way.

"I suppose I love you too. Come on, lets go. We'll let havoc run through the streets, otherwise."
