Summary: He’s staring into space thinking about their latest case when Stella cries out.
Notes: Written for xyamountofwords. September 30.

He’s staring into space thinking about their latest case when Stella cries out. He glances up immediately, fixing concerned eyes on her where she sits beside him. “What? What’s wrong?” His heart races.

“Ow!” she says again. She gingerly touches a finger to her left thumb. She winces.

“Are you hurt?” he asks, narrowing his eyes slightly when he realizes what he’s just said. Stupid question.

She looks up from her cradled thumb to offer a pained smile. “It’s just a paper cut,” she explains. “It’s nothing.”

He feels his heart rate slow back to normal. Still, he reaches for her hand. “Let me see.”

She raises an eyebrow at him and an exasperated smile forms on her face, but she obeys. “Really, Mac. I’m fine. It’s just – “

He inspects her thumb closely. A fine line where the paper cut her mars the otherwise unblemished skin. He raises his eyes to meet hers as he lifts her hand to his lips and gently kisses it.

“ – a paper cut,” she finishes weakly.

He smiles. “All better.”

She shakes her head in disbelief, though her smile widens.

“You know what?” she says. “It does feel much better now. Thanks, Mac.”

They share a look.

He nods. “Works every time.”

Why is it that I can just see Mac doing something like that and surprising the hell out of her? xD
Sweet.

Cuz it's totally something he would do! ;)
Thanks!

[odakota-rose.livejournal.com]

Okay true. And yet I am still ridiculously giddy at the thought. xD
Did you see the newest episode?

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Not sure. Which one was that? Without giving too much away.

[odakota-rose.livejournal.com]

Heh.
I'm pretty sure it's called "Help". aired last night.
(I'm not sure what your viewing schedule is like there...)

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Nope. I just checked and 5x02 Page Turner is the last one that has aired here. *sniffs* Hopefully it'll be back on when they start everything back up again. Everything is reruns atm.

Ok, when you see it we need to have a chitchat. There will be bunnies.

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Okay.
I'll be going to the library on the 19th to download the new ep of House MD (I THINK that's when it'll be up - do you know?) so if I can I'll grab the next couple of CSI NY and work my way through those while waiting for them to air.

I think it is so him :)

I hate paper cuts, they're small but they always bleed so much

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :)

I hate them too - though usually they don't bleed for me. They just sting like crazy.

Must have been a bit of saliva on his lips. Saliva has been proven to be three times more effective as a painkiller than morphine. :)



That was cute.

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Oh true. That's cool. :)

Thanks!
