"Good solve, detectives." Captain Cooper folded his hands together on top of his desk. "I'm glad to see you two finally working together instead of against each other."

Sebastian and James exchanged glances.

"Thank you, sir," Sebastian said. "I am too."

"Yep, so glad." James grinned. Captain Cooper and Sebastian stared at him. "Okay, shutting up now."

"Keep up the good work. Dismissed." Captain Cooper returned to the files on his desk. Sebastian held the door for James, who gave him a sly smirk. The former rolled his eyes.

As they returned to the bullpen, Sebastian turned back to his coworker. "Go home."

"What?"

"I know you're hurt. Go home and get some rest."

"Pssh, I'm not hurt." James went to wave his hand dismissively, but faltered when he found he could barely raise his arm at all. He winced, biting his lip. "See? I'm fine."

Sebastian rolled his eyes. "Go. Home. Or I'll make you go back to the hospital. You've got fractured ribs, and probably a lot more."

James sighed. "Fine. But only because we don't have a case right now. You know my rule."

"Yeah, yeah." Sebastian smiled softly. "I'll see you after the doctor clears you for duty."

Natasha watched the interaction carefully, then leant across her desk to whisper to Talia, "Totally dating."

"While I don't agree with that statement, I am glad to see them getting along," Talia responded. Natasha rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, sure."
