Creative?

Lucy had made the questionable disicion of joining her boyfriend on the newest case. Since the client she was going to investigate canceled, she decided she'd help out someone else. That someone being her boyfriend, Anthony J. Lockwood. It was a little strange to be dating her own boss, but he didn't make it a big deal.

Lucy had made sure to get ready for the night ahead of her, leaving Lockwood in the kitchen to overview the information George had gathered for them. He sighed. Investigating a local hotel complaining of furniture moving on it's own, disembodied voices, shadow people. Overall, it sounded like a normal night to him.

"So Tony..." Kipps got his attention.

"Yes?" He looked up from the paper in front of him.

"You're working Lucy tonight?" He checked.

"Yes." Lockwood raised an eyebrow in confusion. What was he getting at?

"Alone?" Kipps leaned forward a bit.

"Well what if we are?" Lockwood challenged. "What are you trying to say?"

Kipps leaned back, reached into his pocket and pulled out two or three small packages and placed them on the table in front of Lockwood. He peered at the packages before identifying them.

His eyes grew wide and his normally pail face became deep red.

"Truthfully, I don't trust you two alone. I've been meaning to give these to you for a while." Kipps confused.

Lockwood looked at him appalled and offended. Really? He really didn't trust Lockwood to control himself? Sure, he had found her physically appealing. Her body was perfectly shaped, her skin must've been so soft, and he wouldn't mind listening to her make such inappropriate sounds...

But that didn't mean he couldn't control himself! Before the past few months, he had done but control himself.

He took a deep breath. "Do you honestly think I'd do that to her? I'll have you know, I am a gentleman! And as-"

"Don't give me that shit Tony. I see the way you watch her." Kipps stated lowly, forcing Lockwood to shut up and listen. Something about the dangerous look in his eyes told him that he needed to stay in line.

"I am not saying that you're that immature. What I am saying is that as much as you don't want it to be true, you both are still kids. And with being kids, you make dumb decisions. That's how it is with all teens. And it's certainly not my place to know what you and her do when you two are alone together. But for God's sake, if you're going to do something like that, I want you to be safe about it. You know what the alternative is if I don't tell you." Kipps stated.

"We're not going to do that." Lockwood stated.

"Well at least take them with you. It'll give me some peace of mind." Kipps bargained.

Lockwood glared at him, shook his head and stood up to get ready. Kipps watched him go and sighed. He picked up the packets and walked over to the coat hanger. He looked around and stuffed the packets into Lockwood's coat pocket. Better safe than sorry.

Lucy sighed, finally finishing unpacking her supplies for the night. Lockwood looked at her. His thoughts weren't to controlled as he identified all of the tiny details about her that drove him nuts. He smiled to himself, drifting off into his thoughts about her. She turned, feeling eyes on her. Standing up she asked "Can I help you?"

He snapped out of his thoughts and shook his head.

"No. Just lost in thought." He smiled at her sweetly. He made sure he had a smile reserved just for her.

"About what?" She questioned.

"Well, you know-" he shoved his hands in his pockets and felt something that shouldn't have been there. His smile dropped and his face paled.

"Lockwood? Are you okay?" Lucy rushed over to him.

He recovered from his initial shock and stuffed his hands deeper into his pocket.

"It's nothing. It's just... I don't remember putting that in my coat pocket..." He was going to kill Kipps when he saw him again.

"What is it?" Lucy asked.

"It's nothing, Love. Don't worry about it." He smiled walking over to his things.

Lucy knew her boyfriend. He was hiding something from her.

"I wouldn't go looking for whatever's in his pocket if I were you." The Skull piped up. "You might start something... Eventful."

Lucy didn't care what the skull said, she was curious and concerned. What did Lockwood deem strange enough to not tell her?

Cautiously, she snuck up behind him. He looked around, unaware of her creeping up behind him. He was probably surveying the area. She suddenly stuck her hands in his pockets. They had a small struggle of getting caught in each other. When the finally fell to the ground, Lockwood looked up in horror at what Lucy had in her hand.

"Ha! You think you can hide things from me! Well-" She stopped herself when she looked at what she was holding.

A condom.

Lockwood began making incoherent sentences, trying to explain himself.

"Lucy, I swear I didn't- It's not what it seems!" He babbles. Lucy simply looked at what she pulled out of his pocket in shock. When she received from her initial shock, she looked at him. His face was red and he was frantically trying to make excuses for himself. She laughed on the inside. She knew he'd never do this. But it would be so funny to see him razzled up like this.

"I appreciate your creativity, but if you really wanted to do it with me, you could've asked." Lucy teased. She felt her cheeks heat up.

"No, no! I mean- I would like- I mean-"

She crawled over to him and gently shoved the condom back into his pocket.

"Well, if you do want to, we should probably not do it at work." She softly stated. "If you're still in the mood when we get home..."

She placed a quick kiss on his lips, then stood and walked over to her things. Lockwood looked at her in shock.

Not entirely in shock, however. There was that hint if infatuation. And a slight uncomfortableness in a certain area.

Maybe it was a good idea Kipps put those in his pocket after all.
