Partners In crime

Everyone knows when you're drunk you speak the truth

"Shane" Ryan lightly shook his arm hoping he would wake up easily but he didn't budge and still continued to snore. He sighed grabbed a spray bottle and sprayed Shane's face several times before he finally woke up. "W-What?" His voice was groggy but at least he's awake now. "C'mon sleeping beauty we have work to do." Ryan set down a cup of coffee on the table next to him. Madej was drinking a lot more than his system can handle last night and Ryan ended up babysitting him until he knocked out. The conversation got weird in a funny way but it's the events after that were playing with Ryan's mind.
"H-Hey hey Ryaaaan." Bergara regretted letting Shane drink so much, it just seemed rude to interrupt a guy enjoying himself. He sighed then finally replied "Yeah Shane?"
"Imagine in a world where there's a movie about a hot dog and his wife and his wife's evil sister," he started giggling uncontrollably "I-I wanna call it Hot Dagga."
And then Shane really got into his crazy hot dog story until he just suddenly knocked out in the middle of when the crab joust was just about to begin. He wasn't going to lie Ryan got a bit carried away with Shane's stupid story and wanted to know who won the fight at the end. His lips formed a smile and he rolled his eyes "The shit I do for you Shane." When Ryan pulled up to his parking spot he realized he would have to drag Shane to the third floor into his room. fuck hell
Twenty minutes later after finally getting the drunk lanky man to lay down on the couch he remembered that he had to go get the other car before it got towed away. Ryan made a frustrated noise, he was already sore from carrying more than half his weight out of the car and into his room and now he had to go walk back to the place to get Shane's damn car. Suddenly something tugged his arm on to the couch where he was wrapped into a hug. Shane mumbled something incoherent but then the words "don't leave me" were clearly said at the end of his sentence. Ryan's heart sped up but he knew he would have to leave again, but being there with him and feeling safe and protected was something Ryan really wanted and really craved.
No
No
No
He's drunk you have to go back
God he really hated this.

Shane took a sip of the steaming coffee.
God I really reek..I have some clothes in the car maybe I can change into those when I-
Shane stood frozen for a moment then started frantically checking his pockets for his car keys.
"Ryan Oh my god my car I had left it at-"
Bergara held up his car keys and placed it in the taller man's hands.
"I went back after I left you here sleeping."
Shane was lost for words, maybe it didn't mean a lot to Ryan but for him. For him it meant everything. He can feel the blush boiling in his face.
Get it together Madej, we've got work to do
"Thank you Ryan you..you didn't have to."
"Shane really it's nothing, besides what kind of Partner would I be if I left you there?"
Shane looked into Ryan's dark beady eyes. A million thoughts were running through his mind as he just admired the smaller man in front of him like the way his hair was fixed nicely, the way his white button up shirt fit him so perfectly and his cologne had a hint of cinnamon. Then his thoughts were rudely interrupted by his phone ringing. He looked down at the screen to check who it was and of course it had to be someone from the office.  He answered trying his best not to sound annoyed "Hello?"
"Shane you got me worried sick! Where the hell were you?"
"I'm fine Brent I'll be in the office in a bit and I swear I'll tell you what happened later on. Aight see ya, bye." He hung up and ran his hand through his hair, he really didn't want to go to work.
"Hey you can go get washed up if you want, I don't think I have extra clothes that would fit you though."
"I have some in the trunk of my car but I don't think we have time."
"From here we aren't that far from the office." Shane pondered on what he should do next but Ryan was probably right he couldn't walk in smelling like booze. He tossed the keys at Ryan who barely caught them"Can you get my clothes please? Meanwhile I'll jump in the shower."
"Yeah no problem the bathroom is right in that room just keep going straight and the towels are in the cabinets to your left." Ryan began to walk towards the door, Shane watched as he walked out. He wanted do something nice for Ryan in return but he didn't know exactly what yet.
Madej began undressing himself and turned on the shower. As the warm water hit lightly against Shane's skin he felt more relaxed. He closed his eyes breathing in the thick bathroom air and when he breathed out he could see the cloud of breath in front of him. Small memories of last night played in Shane's mind and he shook his head smiling at how stupid he can be at times "Hot dagga..really that's what you came up with?" He thought to himself. But the one thing he couldn't get out of his head was the fact that he wanted to cuddle with Ryan.
I was not in the right state of mind and Ryan's smarter than that. He knows that drunk people can say and do stupid things that they don't mean.
But the more he thought of it the more he realized now that he was in a dilemma with himself.
Did he really mean it?
Was he really falling for someone he just met? No not just someone, it was his partner from work.
After he finished washing up he got out and dried himself with a towel that he then wrapped his waist with. There was a knock on the door "Shane can I come in?"
"Yeah go ahead"
Ryan pushed the door open and left the pile of clothes on top of the counter of the sink. He was leaving in such a rush that he bumped into Shane. Or more like Shane's chest.
"Woah slow down there cowboy." He said with a smirk Goddammit I want to wipe his stupid smirk off his face now is not the time... Oh wow he's dripping wet from his chest down his abs and- Ryan quickly snapped out of his thoughts, he really didn't want to think about his coworker like that. He didn't know at what moment their faces got so close but now they were inches away from each other. Ryan bit down on his lip, one part of him wanted to stay like this and another part of him told him that this wasn't right. He pulled away and in that moment Shane came to the realization of why why. "Hey I'll wait for you outside."
"Yeah, okay.."
Shane tried shrugging it off but his face was lightly flushed. "Friends. Just friends." He said to himself.

Shane finally got out of the bathroom with his clothes in a plastic bag "Aight let's roll." Ryan had led him to the parking lot and as Shane was grabbing his keys Ryan reached for his only to find that he had left them on the counter.
"God dammit"
"What is it"
"My keys I left them on the counter"
"Ryan we're going to the same place, I'll just give you a ride." Ryan wanted to protest but they were already running late. Shane had started the car as Ryan entered. Madej blasted music as he put on some badass looking shades and began to drive off. Ryan tapped his fingers to the beat of the song while Shane sang. Bergara started chuckling at the way Madej was dancing in his seat and ended up joining him. Everything seemed fine for Ryan, for once he wasn't worried about work in fact he forgot about the case they were working on. They pulled into the parking lot of the office and sat there for a bit. Ryan began to take off his seatbelt "Hey Ryan?" he stopped to look up.
"Yeah?"
Shane leaned closer and pecked Ryan on the cheek. "Thanks for everything." He took off his seat belt and got of the car leaving Ryan astonished.
