a/n: based off the opening where bradford stops a chase on his night off - i can't remember which episode sorry!

working in the lapd meant that there was little time off, so when both tim and i get the evening off it's pretty special. many people expect us to do something fancy like go out for dinner, but my boyfriend had different ideas...

for the past three hours tim had been watching the rams game, occasionally chanting or clapping every so often.

"is this seriously how you're gonna spend your night off" i ask my boyfriend, tim bradford, currently sat next to me watching the rams game.
"uh, duh y/n this is the most important game of the season" tim responds, acting as if he's stating the obvious. i roll my eyes at his tone as i grab a handful of snacks from the bowl on the table whilst checking to see that tim is transfixed on the football game. i try my best to make it look as if i'm going to eat the food in my hand, however i caught him off guard by throwing it at him. he looked at me with a 'what-the-fuck-did-you-just-do' look as i just sat and laughed. "you better clean that up" he told me. i put my hands up in surrender as i got up to look for something to clean the mess up with.

i made my way down the corridor whilst looking at all the pictures hung up on the walls - tim and i training at the academy to us on our last day as rookies. i smiled remembering all the fond memories we've created over the years.

i was searching all around the house when i suddenly head tim shout "c'mon! c'mon baby one more stop one more stop!"  from the other room. my phone next to me suddenly buzzed with a message from lucy chen, telling me about the high speed police chase currently in LA. almost like magic, tim's game was interrupted with a news broadcast of the event. "oh c'mon!" i heard him yell. i walked back into our living room to watch what was going on, as tim and i both suddenly realised what route the chase was on. "oh you've got to be kidding me" i muttered as the sirens and planes got louder. both tim and i leaned across the sofa to look out the window. "do you wanna handle this or should i?" tim asked, although we both knew he wanted the overtime more than me. i walked out the room, earning a sigh from tim, but what he didn't know was i was getting his gun and radio so he could have his hero moment. "go get em" i told him. he looked up at me whilst getting off the sofa and smiled. "love you!" he yelled before stepping out the door.

"dispatch, officer tim bradford badge number 34381. log me in for overtime in pursuit of a high speed suspect" i watched as he got in the car and prepared to drive out the drive way, not forgetting his seatbelt of course, whilst timing his actions perfectly so that he was directly in the suspects course forcing them to stop. "lapd!" tim shouted whilst raising his gun as the driver cautiously slowed down. "put your hands outside the window and open the door from the outside and step out the car" the driver followed his instructions whilst the backup police cars and officers stayed still. "you side step over to your left, face down on the ground, arms out to the side" tim ordered as our neighbours got outside to watch the scene and the officers made their way towards the suspect. "you got him?" tim asked our coworkers. "all good!" someone replied. there was a loud applause dedicated to both tim and the lapd, and i couldn't just about make out tim's embarrassed face when pulling into the drive way. i returned back inside to clean up the mess i made earlier whilst tim was surrounded with police officers.

after filling out numerous forms and engaging with basic chit-chat with our neighbours (although i could see him subtly watching the game through the window), tim returned inside only to see the game was over and most of his snacks were gone. i heard him sigh as he lied next to me on the sofa. "so for a day off" i heard tim grumble as he adjusted his position. "duty calls" i replied. although i couldn't see his face, i could tell he was smiling behind me by the way he pulled me closer. "i can't believe you're gonna get payed overtime for 30 seconds of duty" i told him. he chuckled reminiscing on his actions. "i know, and in a rams jersey too!" he said laughing.

a/n: sorry this imagine is so short i literally had no idea what to write lmao
