So I'm back with another Dyson and Lauren bromance fic a lot sooner than I expected, but you guys really liked the last one, so it lit a fire under my ass. Hope you guys like it. And as always I don't own the characters.

Dyson and Lauren were in the boxing ring at the rundown gym the shifter liked to frequent. They were engaged in their weekly sparring match. A routine that they had fallen into after Lauren had convinced him that it would be in both their interests if she knew how to protect herself considering that she was a human living in a Fae world. Dyson went at her with a right hook that had half the force he would normally use and she easily dodged it. She pointed her gloved hand at him and said, "Stop babying me Dyson. I don't even know why I bother training with you."

Dyson wiped his brow with his forearm, "And who are you going to train with? Hale? You're too serious. This is a friendly sparring match Lauren."

Lauren narrowed her eyes at him for a second then shook her head saying, "I just want to be able to protect myself effectively, and you babying me isn't going to help me any." Then she smirked and added, "Unless you're afraid I'll kick your ass which in that case I completely understand. Don't want to hurt that wolf pride of yours."

"You? Hurt me? You're a twig. I'd like-" His sentence was cut off by an impressive uppercut that knocked him back a few feet and left a small cut on his lip. He let out a low chuckle, "But doc whatever happened to 'first do no harm'?"

Lauren started taking off her boxing gloves as she replied, "Well there are some exceptions to the rules and you being an asshole is one of those exceptions." She had walked over to him to inspect the cut she gave him. It was nothing that wouldn't heal within an hour or so. Lauren walked over to exit the ring and asked, "Hey how is your case going at the college?"

Dyson gave her this puzzled look and asked, "What college case?"

Lauren stepped out of the ring and got her towel off the top rope. As she towelled off she said, "The one you had me do the water analysis for. You thought some Fae was contaminating-"

"That wasn't my case." He said smiling.

Lauren had a curious look on her face as she mused about whose case it could be. Dyson wouldn't do a freelance job because it would bring unnecessary attention from the Ash and Light elders, and he was a bit of stickler for following the rules. Something Lauren frequently made fun of him for. As she thought about it, it dawned on her whose case he was working on. Lauren kept her face passive, "Bo."

Dyson was rummaging through his gym bag for a clean t-shirt and it was the way Lauren had said Bo's name that caused him to look over at the doctor. He grinned and as he pulled on the shirt he said, "Yeah is there a problem?"

Lauren walked over to the bench that her gym bag was on, "No. I just didn't think you would help the unaligned succubus considering that would be breaking the rules. I thought she wasn't supposed to meddle in Fae business?"

He quit packing up his gear to defend Bo, "She's not meddling. The Fae come to her for help and she helps them."

Lauren zipped up her bag and slung it over her shoulder and eased up on him a bit, "Okay..." Of course she wasn't going to relent completely, "but this doesn't explain why you're helping her and breaking rules."

Dyson gave her a pointed look and countered with, "And why are you helping her? You're definitely in no position to break the rules Lauren. This isn't you keeping your head down."

Lauren sighed and ran a hand through her sweaty hair as she thought of a valid reason that was nowhere near the truth. Eventually she said, "Helping Bo with her control and hunger helps the Fae. So if it is ever found out I can say I was helping the Fae."

Dyson scoffed as he called her out on her flimsy excuse, "Shaky defence there doc. I'd hate to see you on the stand."

Lauren chuckled and said, "This is why I don't plan on ever being on trial. At least I won't have to when I have friends like you."

The two of them started to walk out of the gym when Dyson joked, "I'd let you hang just to see you worm your way out of it." Lauren looked at him wide-eyed in shock. He slowly grinned as he added, "Gotta get my kicks somewhere doc."

She laughed with him then playfully punched him. "Well get them somewhere else. Maybe Bo might help you there." She meant for the comment to come out more jokingly than the sarcastic way it had come out.

Dyson decided to let the comment slide. Even if he was curious as to why Lauren was so concerned with his professional involvement with Bo. But she was helping her with her control and hunger, so she really didn't have much of a ground to stand on. As they exited the building Dyson just chalked it up to jealousy of him spending a lot more time with Bo and made a promise to himself to spend more time with the doc. That was if he could get her out of the lab.

Cop Shop...

Dyson was at his desk going over the toxicology reports for the double homicide he was investigating when Bo walked in. He always knew when she was in the room because everyone would just stop what they were doing and the room would go silent. He looked up from his paperwork and leaned back in his chair as he watched her approach his desk. Dyson took in her appearance and he appreciated the low cut of the shirt she was wearing. Bo had Kenzi with her and she was the first one to greet him, "Hey D-Man! How goes biznass?"

Dyson raised his eyebrow as Kenzi picked up the crime scene photos, "Same old, same old Kenz. What brings you ladies in today? Did Bo have to bail you out?"

Kenzi made a noise of disgust as she got to the more gruesome photos and Bo shook her head at her friend and said, "Fortunately this time no." She took the crime scene photos from Kenzi who frowned at her. As Bo dropped the pictures on his desk she told him, "I got more information on that case I'm working on, but I uh...could use some of your expertise."

Dyson didn't miss the subtle way she leaned further towards him as she leaned against his desk. Giving him a wonderful view of her cleavage and the dark red bra she was wearing. Dyson leaned forward as he grinned, "And what expertise would that be?"

The sexy smile Bo gave him caused the all the blood in him to go south. Bo didn't have to say anything for him to know what she actually wanted. Dyson tried not to laugh at the fake retching noises that Kenzi was making behind Bo. Bo stood up straight and continued the conversation as though she just didn't proposition him, "The lead is taking me into the woods to track down someone who's been missing, and I would like to use your superhero nose to see if you can get anything."

"I'm a superhero now huh?" He asked grinning. Dyson leaned back in his chair as he picked up his pen and tapped it against his bottom lip, "And how long has this someone been in the woods? Because if it's longer than seventy-two hours then I probably won't be able to track anything."

Kenzi snorted and laughed, "What kind of a wolf are you? I thought you could smell month old garbage from twenty miles away."

Dyson got an irritated look on his face and sarcastically remarked, "And I thought you were a decent person. I guess we all make mistakes huh?"

Dyson and Kenzi were engaged in a stare down and normally the wolf wouldn't mind the obscure human, but she insulted his wolf. He wasn't going to let that go. He stood up and grabbed his jacket from the back of his chair and as he slipped it on he said, "I'll give it a try Bo, but if its been awhile then there are no guarantees."

Bo stepped closer to him and ran her fingers along the edge of his jacket collar and whispered, "Well there is one thing I can guarantee even if your superhero nose fails."

Dyson felt his pants get a little tighter in the groin at the innuendo. He lowered his voice, making it go deeper, and he challenged her, "Are you sure about that? And if I remember correctly, there was one night where you were begging me to stop."

Bo gripped his collar tightly to bring their faces closer, but quickly let go to step back as she said, "That's only because you looked exhausted. Also, we can't go now. I've got to go see a doctor about a shot."

Dyson stood there for a second and eyed her cautiously. Her casual manner about Lauren concerned him and he wanted to make sure Bo understood the risk that Lauren was taking to help her. He sighed, "Be careful Bo. Lauren's putting her neck out there trying to help you."

Bo and Kenzi started walking to the exit and Bo said over her shoulder, "I'll be careful." Then she stopped to smile suggestively at him and added, "And I'll be sure to watch the doctor's pretty neck for you too."

Dyson folded his arms across his chest as he had a suspicious thought run through his mind. He was standing there rubbing his beard when Hale walked in. Hale walked over to his desk and tossed his hat on it asking, "What's up? You got your thinking face on. I just saw Bo in the hall. What'd she do now?"

Dyson said out loud, more to himself than to Hale, "It's always about Bo." He looked over at Hale with a contemplative look on his face, "Hale, do you think Bo and Lauren might be..."

Hale got a questioning look on his face, "You don't think the doc would do something like that would you?"

Dyson removed his jacket and placed on the back of his chair then he eased into the chair as he said, "She doesn't know Bo and I are...physical."

Hale looked at him with a stunned expression then he started to chuckle, "You and Lauren are almost tighter than we are and you haven't told her that you and little miss succubus are getting it on? Oh this is gold! What's up with the secrecy D?"

Dyson picked up his pen then threw it down saying, "I don't know. Call it a seventh sense, but I think Lauren might like her."

Hale pursed his lips together and nodded. Dyson watched as the siren processed everything. Dyson didn't know why he thought Lauren might be interested Bo, but he just had this gut feeling about it. Hale chuckled and said, "You and the doc vying for the same woman. Things could get interesting."

Dyson chuckled, "No it won't. If she does I'll tell her what's going on and then we'll go for a beer."

Hale rubbed the back of his neck as he doubtfully said, "I don't know D. Something about this just screams trouble."

Dyson laughed and lightly threw his pen at Hale then said, "You're just a cynic."

Hale held his hands up as a sign of concession, "Alright, alright. But remember these words of wisdom: Bros before hos. In your case the doc before the succubus."

Dyson shook his head. Lauren was his friend and she was a logical person, so him seeing Bo wouldn't be a problem. He would just talk to her and everything would be okay. Dyson picked up the phone, dialled a number and waited for the line to be answered. Hale was looking at him curiously and when the phone was answered he said, "Hey Lauren. You and me at the Dal tonight? I'm certain we can get our hands on Trick's buckthorn." He chuckled, "No I'm not going to need taking care of. That was a onetime thing." He scoffed, "You're on and loser has to wash the other's gym clothes for a week." Dyson laughed as she gagged in his ear and to make it even more hilarious he added, "I'll be sure my dirtiest jock strap is ready for you."

He laughed as Lauren hung up. Hale was laughing and shaking his head as he said, "I never understood you two's friendship."

Dyson just shrugged and said, "We drink, we embarrass each other then we have fun. It's as simple as that."

Hale nodded and said, "Okay, but I think it goes deeper than that."

"Yeah whatever." Dyson said as he rolled closer to his desk to finish his work.

Lauren's Lab...

Lauren was bent over a microscope looking at the most recent slide she had made up for disintegrating Fae cell interaction with and organic plant compound, and just as the desired reaction was taking place she heard, "Yo! Dr. Hotpants!"

With her concentration broken Lauren was no longer able to focus on the slide. Instead she was now focusing on reeling in her frustration from having it broken. Taking a deep breath she stood up straight and gave Kenzi a fake smile, but then her smile turned genuine as she looked at Bo. She put her hands in pockets of her lab coat and said, "Here for your shot?"

Bo smiled at her and said, "Don't sound so excited."

Lauren walked over to the medical cooler and as she got the serum out she joked, "I'm not excited. Far from it because I have to see your face."

Bo gave her that sexy smile that made Lauren's heart flip-flop all over the place as she said, "Are trying to say you don't like seeing my face?"

As Lauren prepped the medical tray to administer Bo's injection she looked up from it and gave the other woman a sweet smile, "Far from it." And just as quickly as the moment had happened it was gone and Lauren was back to being the doctor, "How has your hunger been? And what's your control been like when feeding?"

Bo hopped up on the medical table, "Not too bad. I haven't really needed to worry about my control though I still practice with."

Lauren lifted her head up with a questioning look on her face, "Oh really? Why's that?"

Bo went to go answer but Kenzi beat her too it tactlessly saying, "Because her and the D-Man have been bringing down what's left of the walls at the crack shack."

At first Lauren was confused and looked between the two women, but then her brain caught up to what Kenzi had said and she just stood there in stunned silence. She knew Dyson had been helping Bo with cases, but she hadn't known that they were having sex. And if they were why didn't Dyson tell her? Lauren felt as his friend he would have told her, but then again would she want to know considering her own feelings towards the succubus? Lauren didn't realise she had spaced out, so when Bo put a hand on her shoulder she flinched a bit causing the brunette to hold her hands up and ask, "Hey are you okay?"

Lauren initially gave her a small, sad smile. It was a smile that indicated that she knew she wouldn't be able to be what Bo needed, and because Dyson could be she decided she would be happy for them. Lauren quickly widened the smile and shook her head, so she could clear the sad thoughts from her mind and said, "Yeah I just remembered something about a patient I saw earlier. Let's give you the serum then you can be on your way."

Lauren tried hard to ignore the look of concern on Bo's face, but she held up the syringe and Bo just nodded as she pulled off her coat. Lauren cleaned the area on Bo's upper arm then injected her with the serum. Lauren went about cleaning up the medical waste and Bo said, "Thanks Lauren. For everything. I know how much of a risk it is for you to be helping me considering I'm not Light."

Lauren threw away the trash then shoved her hands into the pockets of her lab coat as she said, "It's not a problem, and don't let Dyson guilt-trip you about me helping. Considering he's not one for rules here lately." Bo got a confused look on her face, so Lauren covered up the comment, "If there are any side effects you know where I'll be. And I do want to get together, so we can test your control."

As a flirty smile appeared on her face Bo said, "Sure thing doctor. How about we get together later and we can do that test drive?"

Lauren was about to object due to the fact that she didn't want to flirt with the woman her friend was…whatever with because that wouldn't help her when they would become official. But she figured if Dyson was going to be seeing Bo in whatever capacity then she would have to get used to seeing them together. Lauren suppressed the groan she wanted to let out, and ran her hand through her hair as she told Bo, "Actually Dyson and I getting together at the Dal later and you're more than welcome to come with us if you'd like."

"What about moi?" Kenzi interjected.

Lauren didn't necessarily hate Kenzi, but she was a very frustrating person. Lauren gave her a tight smile and extended the invitation to her, "You too Kenz. It wouldn't be a party without you."

Kenzi pointed at her and said, "Ya damn right!"

Lauren looked back at Bo and asked, "Well…?"

She watched as Bo bit the side of her bottom lip and thought about the invitation. Even though she had silently bowed out for Bo's affections Lauren was still human after all and she thought Bo's thinking face was cute and sexy all at once. How that was possible she would think about later in one of the many fantasies she had about the succubus. Eventually Bo threw up her hands and said, "Why not? I'd like to see the dynamic duo in action together."

Lauren laughed and warned, "You may regret that later. Especially after a few shots of Trick's prized buckthorn liquor."

They shared a laugh and before Bo could say anything Kenzi's phone went off and the pair waited to see what the call was about. It was quick and short call, but when Kenzi hung up she said, "Things have gotten interesting at the college. We gotta split."

Lauren saw the reluctant expression on Bo's face as the two started to walk out the lab, so she called out, "I'll see you at the Dal later."

Bo grinned, "Can't wait doctor."

And with that the succubus and her friend were out the door. Lauren stood there for a second before heading off to her office. Once she had the door closed she sat in her office chair and leaned back in it to look at the ceiling. The guy who had basically become the greatest friend she ever had was sleeping with the woman she had the hugest attraction to. Sure at first she had chalked it up to Bo's succubus nature, but the more time she spent helping Bo with her hunger and control the more she realised Bo was just genuinely beautiful person. And she had fallen for her miserably. Lauren let out a defeated sigh as she decided not to tell Dyson about her crush on Bo. If Bo made him happy then she was going to support her friend even if it tore her up on the inside.
