Itsy Bitsy Spider (Chuck) *Casey/OC*

01. Casey vs. The Pizza Delivery Guy

"We are doomed to fail."

"What are you yappering on about now, Bartowski?"

"I'm talking about you. You tackled a pizza delivery guy right on our doorstep!" Chuck reminded the man who'd caused something of a stir at his home last night.

"That kid hadn't been checked for weapons or explosive devices," said Casey, not even looking up from the computer screen that he was currently surveying. "And he had an unidentified, electronically-produced heat source in his pocket."

"Which you learnt afterwards was a Nintendo 3DS on standby mode," Chuck pointed out condescendingly.

Casey shrugged. "Better to be safe than sorry. No harm done."

"No harm done? The guy had a broken pinkie and there's now four cheeses all over our wallpaper!"

"Collateral damage," Casey grunted.

Seeing the exasperated look on Chuck's face, Sarah quickly cut in. "You have been going a little overboard lately, Casey."

Casey wasn't in the least bit offended. "I'm just doing my job."

"Well, you're not doing very good at it," said Chuck, trying to ignore the death glare that Casey was now giving him. "I'm amazed your cover's even holding up still."

"Relax, Bartowski. Keeping your cover is the easiest part of the job."

"Then you're a bad spy," Chuck chastised. "Not you, Sarah," he quickly added to the blonde, who shrugged indifferently to cover a small smile, before turning back to Casey. "Ellie and Awesome are already starting to question why you're always around."

"I work at the Buy More and I live on the other side of the courtyard to you. It's not that weird."

"It is when you're throwing pizzas around our hallway!"

"Your cover is shakier than mine," Sarah agreed. The whole pizza incident really had been a bit of a fiasco.

Casey shot her one of his killer stares. "Siding with him now, are we?"

Sarah coolly ignored the implication. "I'm just saying that you should be careful. As Chuck's girlfriend, my cover is pretty solid. More so than yours."

"I've covered work and living location. Short of trying it on with his sister, there isn't much more I can do," said Casey.

"You wouldn't..." said Chuck, outraged.

Casey actually looked amused. "Why; would it piss you off?"

"Yes, it would!" Chuck exclaimed. "Plus she already has a boyfriend, in case you forgot."

"He's small fry. I could take him easily," Casey commented.

"No. No, no, you will not 'take' anyone!" Chuck protested, even though a tiny part of him was intrigued to see how a fight between Casey and Captain Awesome would go down. Casey may have been a trained special agent, but Chuck had seen Devon perform one too many pull-ups from the ceiling to not have faith in him too.

"Cut it out, Casey," said Sarah, who could tell that he was purely trying to get a rise out of Chuck.

"I'm kidding. Like I'd want him for a brother-in-law anyway," said Casey, jabbing a thumb towards Chuck.

"Oh, that's so funny I forgot how to laugh," Chuck replied sarcastically.

"Why don't you run along now anyway, Bartowski? We have work to do," said Casey, turning his attention back to the computer screen.
