My Brettonio stories

How is my girlfriend more badass than me?

Antonio was in a middle of a case, the biggest case he was working on since he started working as a lead investigator when Erin and Hank walked in, it was normal for them to be here since they were all working on this case together. It was who they also walked in with that made him surprised and a little worried. Worried because he knew what this was about. He was shaking his head as he walked over to them.

"Hank, no. Not happening." He said as he turned his attention to his girlfriend.

Hank shrugged his shoulders. "Sorry, Antonio, but this is out of your hands. Especially because she came to me and wanted to do this. Right now you can't look at her like she's your girlfriend, but someone who is helping with the case. You wouldn't turn anyone else away who wanted to help, would you?"

Antonio looked at Hank, knowing he was right, but not liking it one bit. He pulled Sylvie to the side, seeing if he can talk her out of it. "Sylvie, you can't. This is too dangerous."

Sylvie asked Voight if he didn't have to tell Antonio, but he said he couldn't do that because this was technically his case too. She placed her hand on his face. "I know you're worried about me. But with everyone behind me, I'll be fine." She promised.

Antonio looked at her and he shook his head. "You can't be sure, Sylvie. I rather you stay out of this."

Sylvie was trying to stay calm, knowing the type of man he was, but he wasn't going to tell her what to do. "She was my friend, Antonio! My friend! I'm going to do what I can to put this monster behind bars." She could see the anger in his eyes, so she began taking on a different route. "You know if this was Gabby, you would want me to do the same thing. Why is she any different?"

Antonio shook his head. "No, I would be doing this on my own and you know it."

"I know the type of man you are, and that's why I'm with you. However, you can't tell me what to do. We can fight about this later. I have to go get ready." She leaned forward and she gave him a kiss, which he tried not to kiss her back, but of course he failed.

Once she walked back to Voight and Lindsay, he took a deep breath. "Fine. But I'm going to be there. I'm going to be the one that watches everything." He demanded.

Voight nodded his head. "That's what I told her."

They all walked out so they could get Sylvie ready for the meeting, which terrified Antonio. Sylvie was a paramedic, she had no clue what she was getting herself into.

After they went back to the station and got Sylvie ready for the meeting, she couldn't help but kept her eyes locked on Antonio. Erin placed a hand on her shoulder. "It'll be okay. We're behind you every step of the way. What do you want the word to be?" Usually they made up the word, but since Sylvie was practically family, they left it up to her to decide.

Sylvie thought about it for a second. "Magic hands." She said, keeping her gaze at Antonio who smiled softly at her. Finally, a smile she thought.

Erin nodded her head, confused but she decided not to pressed on the subject. "Okay, everyone, magic hands." She said, walking off. "Let's go get ourselves ready." Voight said, leaving Antonio and Sylvie alone.

It was silent for a few minutes, until Antonio decided to speak. He walked over to Sylvie and he took a deep breath. "I'm not trying to control you. I hope you know that."

Sylvie nodded her head as she moved closer to him, wrapping her arms around his waist and lying her head on his chest. In response, Antonio wrapped his arms around her. "I know, Antonio. And I love how protective you are over me. This is something that I just have to do."
