Sorry I haven't posted in forever. I was just busy with other stories and I'm kinda running out of ideas for this.

guest: yeah Teagan is supposed to be unlikable.

"Hey, Elliot." Elliot looked up at Ollie as he leaned on the outside of his cubical. "So... What's new?" Elliot tilted his head slightly.

"Nothing." He said as he shook his head.

"Really? Cause I've noticed you and Lynn have gotten kinda close." Elliot raised his eyebrows in confusion. "You've gotten here and left at the same time everyday for over a week, now. Whenever you look at each other you have these little smiles you think other people don't see. Be honest with me. Are you two going out?" Elliot hesitated with his answer; he didn't know if Lynn would be okay with him telling Ollie, or anyone for that matter. He looked over to the where Lynn and Angela were talking by the coffee station. Lynn's face was flushed and she was smiling at her feet as she nodded.

I can only assume Angela's questioning Maeve about this too.

Elliot nodded as he looked back at Ollie.

"Yeah. We are."

"Good for you, buddy." Ollie said with a big smile. His eyes suddenly went wide as if he had just thought of the cure for cancer. "Hey, the four of us should go on a double date. What do ya think? I know Angela will want to, maybe Lynn will too. Come on, it'll be fun."

"I-I don't think-... Lynn-" Elliot shook his head.

"Well, we'll see what she thinks about it." Ollie said as he looked over at the two girls. Angela was grinning as she said something that looked like 'great' before she looked over at Ollie. "I think Lynn agreed." Elliot looked over at Lynn who turned to smile slightly at him. He could read in her eyes: I'm sorry, I couldn't say no. He gave her a soft smile back: It's okay. As long as you're comfortable. Her smile grew.

"Okay." Elliot nodded.

The four went to a local restaurant/bar. They sat towards the back in a booth. Angela tried to engage Lynn in small talk and Ollie tried with Elliot. Soon Angela and Elliot were talking and Ollie and Lynn sat there awkwardly. Elliot held Lynn's hand between them, rubbing his thumb over the back of her hand idly in a comforting way. They were halfway through their meals when Elliot felt Lynn tense beside him and squeeze his hand tightly. He looked at her and followed her unblinking gaze to the bar to see two men he recognized immediately from their pictures. He quickly took out his phone and gave it to Lynn.

"Text Teagan." He said before he leaned over to Angela. "I can't explain everything right now but the man at the bar in the green hoodie standing with the man wearing sunglasses," Angela turned to look. "Don't look." Angela stopped and quickly turned back to Elliot. "They're friends of Lynn's abusive ex. If they follow us we need you to stop them." Ollie snuck a glance back at the bar and nodded to Elliot.

"You two head home." he said. "We got your back."

"Text me when you get there." Angela told Elliot. He nodded and the two stood. Elliot put and arm around Lynn, keeping her on his left side with the bar on his right, as they headed to the door.

"Don't look back. Keep your head down, we can't walk too fast or they'll notice." he told her. Lynn nodded and clung onto his sleeve. "Almost there." The sound of two chairs scrapping across the floor made Lynn tense. Elliot risked a glance back to see Angela and Ollie had gotten up, headed to the bar and were blocking Geoff and Tanner as they tried to pass in the 'oops, sorry, you go this way I'll go that way' style. Elliot and Lynn made it outside, walked past the windows of the bar then Elliot took Lynn by the hand and they broke into a run.

…

Teagan was waiting for them at the bottom of the steps outside the apartment. He immediately glared at Elliot as he started to scold him for taking Lynn out when they knew her ex was out looking for her.

"What were you thinking?!"

"Teagan-" Lynn tried.

"Did anyone follow you?" Teagan asked as the three headed up to the apartment. He stopped Elliot from going in. "Maeve, go to bed." Teagan said.

"I can't sleep without-" Lynn started to say but was cut off as Teagan grabbed her bear and threw it at her before pulling Elliot outside. He closed the door behind him and turned to Elliot who was shifting on his feet.

"I knew this was going to happen." Teagan muttered before hissing out a string of curses in another language. "I need to get her out of here. She's not safe." Teagan said.

She can't leave. We'd go back to the way we were. It wouldn't be good for either of us. She'd go back to hurting herself and me... I'd be alone again. I can protect her here. I can make sure she's safe... And happy. She can't leave me.

"I can make them go away." Elliot said. Teagan looked at Elliot as his eyebrow came together.

"The fuck does that mean? 'Make them go away'?"

"I can protect her. She's safe with me."

"You can't protect her. This guy is possessive to the point where he doesn't care who gets hurt as long as he gets what he wants."

"I can get rid of him." Elliot insisted. Teagan's eyebrows went up.

"There you go again. What, do you know a hit man or something?" he asked. Elliot shook his head.

"I can fix this. I looked him up, he sells stolen goods. His buddy Tanner is a drug dealer and Geoff-"

"How do you know all this?" Teagan cut him off as he held up a hand.

"I hacked them. I've seen their emails."

"You hacked them?" Teagan raised an eyebrow. "Did you hack me too?" Elliot nodded.

"I know you love your sister. You don't want her to get hurt anymore than she has been. But if you take her away from me- if you make her leave," Elliot quickly rephrased.

"She's not going through another possessive boyfriend." Teagan pointed a finger in Elliot's face.

"I'm not." Elliot said as he closed his eyes. "I didn't mean that in the possessive way. She-..." Elliot hesitated as he opened his eyes.

"She what?"

"She needs me." Teagan started to glare. "Just as much as I need her. She... She used to hurt herself..." Teagan's glare dropped as his mouth did. "But she stopped. I made sure that she stopped. She used to cry... So much... almost every night when she thought I was asleep. She doesn't now, at least not as much as she used to. She can't sleep without me," he put a hand over his chest. "and I can't unless I'm..." Elliot avoided eye-contact. "unless I'm holding her." Teagan stared at Elliot.

Saying it aloud I finally realized. The feeling that I feel in my chest, the warmth and tingling when she smiles at me, or when I hold her... When I know she's safe and that she feels safe with me. That she's happy and better with me as I am with her...

"I... I think I'm in love with her..."

Short yeah but I wanted to end it on that line and I haven't posted in forever. I am pretty much all outta ideas and I hate when writer's block happens at anytime but mostly when it's a story you guys like so much.
