Knock. Knock. Knock.

"Come in!" Grey shouted as she took off her earrings. Candy came in and shut the door behind her. She walked over to her with a huge smile on her face. Grey barely had time to process it before she was being tackled in a hug by Candy.

"Oh, there she is, my beautiful beauty!" Candy said and squeezed Grey tightly. She pulled away and bet over next to her. Both of their eyes were fixated on Grey's reflection in the mirror. "You are amazing. I didn't think you had the stamina for two back-to-back solo sets."

"I didn't," Grey said and chuckled. "I felt like I was going to pass out up there. I just haven't felt that kind of rush since I last performed here. I've truly missed this. I can't thank you enough for reaching out to me."

"I can't thank you enough for answering your phone. The girls and I are going to be fine now that you're here, Miss Owner," Candy said and bumped her shoulder with Grey's. "Come on. I'm treating you to some messy pizza as a very big thank you for tonight. And because I love you extra-extra-extra today, I'll drive."

"Candy, you truly know the way to my heart," Grey said and took off her jewelry. The two women quickly got themselves changed into more comfortable and outside-work-appropriate clothes.

For the both of them, it felt like no time had passed from before Y/n started the profiling class. They would spend the rest of the night chatting away and making memories with each other. That all would end around six in the morning when both women headed home and crashed. This routine only continued until Y/n started at the routine.

"Mmm, so, you have some questions to answer," Y/n said as she patted the napkin around her mouth to get rid of the grease. Candy raised her eyebrows as she took a sip of her drink. "What's going on with you and Jake?"

Candy swallowed harshly before swiping her pinched fingers over her lips, indicating she wasn't going to say anything.

"Oh, come on! You pried about my relationship!" Y/n said and reached over, grabbing onto Candy's hands. "You only told me that you two got closer. You never went into specifics."

"He's a nice guy," Candy said and shrugged her shoulders. Y/n wiggled her eyebrows, encouraging her to continue. "Okay, he's a nice guy that I am kinda sort of seeing a little more seriously."

Y/n squealed as she let go of Candy's hands and patted her thighs excitedly. "I knew it! He was always so lovey dovey with you! You know, I also heard that he was asking around on what things you like."

"And you didn't tell me?" Candy said loudly and dropped her jaw. "What did he say? When did he ask?"

"He never asked me directly! He probably knew that I'd go running to you and tell you everything," Y/n said and laughed. "But I heard through Nessie, who heard through Carm, who heard through Winter, that he was all shy asking Nat if you'd like a little romantic rooftop picnic."

"Natasha, that conniving little bitch!" Candy said and sat back in her seat. She crossed her arms as she thought back to the exact conversation she had with the woman. "When she was asking about my favorite fruits, I thought she was going to get me a fruit basket!"
