Promotion (Dream & Finch)

***

I am done with Hacker's birthday one-shot so I can finally focus on other Dreamswap stuff! If anyone was wondering, I am going to continue some series I have going on but for now, take this little treat!

(Finch is underappreciated, try to change my mind, I dare you.)

By the way, if anyone had noticed a downgrade in my writing abilities then no you did not (I'm wholeheartedly blaming school on that for screwing my brain up.)

Enjoy your reading!

Warnings: Death threat, strong language, mentioned assassination attempt

Timeline: Finch, ever since his AU's rescue, has been working as a simple officer for JR. The current captain of justice, captain Smith, is his superior and has taken him under his wing along with his former training officer Lopez.

Synopsis: "My Lord, may I suggest someone to you? I know that my words might carry little value, but I think they are worth hearing out." Captain Smith said, making Dream pause, lifting his head to stare at him.

"Proceed." The captain put his hat back on his head, thanking him with a nod.

"His name is Finch Hendrikson." Dream's eye twitched at the mention of the officer's name but he did not say anything, letting the other continue. "He has joined our ranks fairly recently as an officer but that young man has talent, and I do believe that he has the potential to become a great captain someday."

"You wish to take your leave?" Dream repeated, finally lifting his head from the paperwork spread out on his desk.

The other nodded, his hat pressed against his heart. "Yes, my Lord. I am getting quite rusty, and I fear that I might soon be unable to fulfill my duties to you."

"That is a valid cause of concern yes." He pulled out an empty sheet of paper, scribbling on it about the current situation they were facing. "I will get your payment for your last month the day of your retirement. Is it okay with you if I schedule it for next week? I still need to find a way to fill that opening you just created." He muttered the last part, loud enough however for the other to hear.

"My Lord, may I suggest someone to you? I know that my words might carry little value, but I think they are worth hearing out." Captain Smith said, making Dream pause, lifting his head to stare at him.

"Proceed." The captain put his hat back on his head, thanking him with a nod.

"His name is Finch Hendrikson." Dream's eye twitched at the mention of the officer's name but he did not say anything, letting the other continue. "He has joined our ranks fairly recently as an officer but that young man has talent, and I do believe that he has the potential to become a great captain someday."

"How long has he been working under you?" He leaned on his chair, straightening up as he crossed his arms around his chest.

"Around three years, Lord Dream." He answered.

"During these three years, has he ever shown any suspicious behavior?" The captain shook his head, smiling.

"No sir, he's the most pure-hearted boy I've ever seen." Dream nodded, reaching for his cell phone.

"Very well, I will conduct some more research on him later, but I am willing to give him a chance." The captain's smile widened at hearing that.

"I am pleased to hear that, my Lord. I promise this will be worth your time." Dream stood up; his phone raised to his ear.
