Drake sat at his desk, absentmindedly playing with an empty paper cup. Ted had just finished telling him about the hot date he had had the other night. Drake himself had not been on a date in quite a while and really didn't need to be reminded of that fact. Needless to say, he was not in the best of moods at the moment. His thoughts were interrupted by his cheerful partner bursting into the office.
"Dee-sempai!" JJ's loud call was heard through the 27th precinct, as it was every morning.
"God, JJ, get off!" Dee, annoyed, tried to pull the hyperactive cop off of himself.
"But Dee-sempai," JJ whined. "I'm just so happy to see you."
"You saw me just yesterday." Dee deadpanned, finally managing to push the lavender-haired menace away. JJ began to pout, which even Drake had to admit was cute.
"Ryo!" Dee rushed over to his partner, brightening up immediately. JJ watched as Dee scuttled about Ryo, smiling happily. A sad, resigned smile graced his lips. This did not go unnoticed by Drake, who, over time, had learned to read JJ pretty well.
"Hey, JJ." Drake greeted. JJ's smile soon grew wider and he waved at his partner.
"Hi, Drake-sempai! How's it going?" JJ took a seat at his desk, across from Drake.
"Boring as usual." It had been pretty slow around the precinct lately. Even though the officers were glad that they didn't have to chase around sociopaths all day, but a little unease was still felt by most. Just because fewer crimes were being reported didn't necessarily mean there were being less crimes committed, it just meant people were getting better at hiding them.
"Paperwork then?" JJ asked, receiving a nod from Drake. He sighed and starting reading over some papers in front of him.
JJ kept his eyes moving over the paper, but was not actually reading it. He was concentrating on his thoughts, which were currently of Dee. 'I know he loves Ryo. And as much as I hate to admit it they are a good couple. It's not like I ever thought I had a chance with Dee. He made it pretty obvious I didn't. I'm not that stupid. I do notice when someone is blatantly trying to ignore and avoid me.' Another sigh escaped his delicate lips. 'I guess I just wished, one day, that he would magically change his mind and be madly in love with me. Maybe I am that stupid.' JJ thought darkly. 'Of course someone as wonderful as Dee-sempai wouldn't want someone like me. I'm loud, ugly, and a moron. Why would anyone love someone like me?'
Across the desks, Drake was watching his unsuspecting partner. JJ's pale eyes scanned the paper, but the way they were darting around, Drake knew JJ wasn't reading it.
"Hey, what do you say we go get some doughnuts?" Drake asked, knowing sugar would always make JJ feel better. Just as he expected, JJ perked up.
"Yeah! Let's go. I hope there's some double chocolate ones left." JJ said as he started to head for the coffee room.
"Parker, in my office, now!" The chief called. Drake rolled his eyes.
"I'll be there in a sec, JJ." JJ nodded in reply and continued on his way. When he neared the break room he heard Dee's voice. He managed to restrain himself from running in and hugging the life out of his college when he heard Ryo's voice, as well.
"Oh, come on, Dee. It's not that bad." Ryo said.
"Not that bad? It's friggin' annoying! Why the hell won't he just leave me alone?" Dee bit out. JJ heard Ryo sigh.
"He just likes you." Ryo received a growl for the statement.
"Well, I don't like him! I can barely stand working with him. Why must he attack me every time he sees me?" JJ felt a burning in his eyes, signaling the building of tears.
'That's harsh, Dee. And he doesn't attack you, he's just... overly affectionate." Ryo tried to reason.
"Whatever. I just want him to leave me the hell alone." JJ didn't hear the rest as he hurried back to his desk. He closed his eyes for a moment, bidding away the unwanted tears. If that's what Dee wanted, then JJ would leave him alone. He knew he would have to get over him someday and that he was just a nuisance to his idolized coworker.
Drake returned from the chief's office a few moments later.
"Hey, JJ, didn't you get a doughnut?" He asked.
"Well, there weren't any chocolate ones left and I didn't really want any of the other kind." JJ quickly lied. Drake frowned. JJ would eat any kind of doughnut, hell, he'd eat anything with excess amount of sugar.
"Sure. Okay." Drake said, taking his seat once again.
-------------------
The rest of the day went by in a daze for JJ. After work her decided he needed a drink and went to his favorite club. He got in easily, since his friend owned the place.
JJ took a seat on one of the stools at the bar.
"Hey, JJ. Haven't seen you in a while. How've you been?" Ally, the bartender, asked.
"Oh, good good. What about you?" He replied, placing a fake smile on his face.
"Same old. What'll ya have?" She asked.
"Surprise me." He said. Ally raised an eyebrow, but didn't question him. Soon a glass full of clear liquid was placed in front of him. He held it up in a silent 'cheers' and immediately downed it.
"Can I have another?" JJ asked.
"Let me buy that for you." A silky voice offered. He turned to find a handsome man standing behind him. He had dark brown hair that fell over his eyes, which sparkled with the many lights of the club. He was taller than JJ by a few feet. Black jeans and a tight t-shirt adorned his well-muscled body. JJ's only thought at the moment was how hot that guy was.
"Um, s-sure." JJ blushed. He wasn't used to being hit on. The stranger smiled and took a seat next to him.
"I'm Sean, nice to meet you." Sean smiled, showing off perfect teeth.
"You too. I'm JJ ." JJ took a sip of the drink that was slipped in front of him. He stopped for a moment. How did this guy know he was gay? It's not like he had Dee there to fawn over. Sean must have picked up on JJ's confusion.
"I've seen you around the club before. You were with some other guy." Sean explained.
JJ nodded. "Oh, yeah, we went out for a while." A while being three days. He had went out with him in a vain attempt to forget Dee. Needless to say, it didn't work.
"So, are you going out with anyone now?" Sean asked, oh so subtly. JJ smirked.
"No, not at the moment. How about yourself?"
"Me neither. How would you like to dance?" Sean asked.
"I thought you'd never ask." JJ's eyes brightened as he was led to the dance floor. A face-paced song was playing and all the sweaty bodies were moving to the beat. JJ and Sean found a place in the crowd and started to dance freely, ignoring everything but each other and the music. JJ and Sean moved slowly at first, but soon picked up speed, as arms flailed wildly and leg brushed sensually. Sean placed a hand on JJ's hip as the two moved in accordance with each other. They really were a good pair, moving perfectly in sync.
The rest of the night was spent dancing with a few other men, but mostly Sean, and drinking. It was already the early hours of the morning when JJ finally decided to go home. Sean and him exchanged number.
"So, I'll see you again soon, JJ?" Sean asked, not bothering to mask his hope. JJ nodded excitedly. Sean laughed softly and said goodbye.
-------------------
The next morning, JJ had a bad hang-over and really didn't want to go to work. In the end his dedication to the job won over and he trudged into the office later than usual. JJ slowly made his way over to his desk and collapsed into his chair, refusing to take off his sunglasses. He placed his hands on his splitting head. The aspirin should be kicking in soon. Drake took one look at his partner and raised an eyebrow in question.
"You look like shit. What the hell happened to you?" He asked.
"Hangover." JJ managed to moan out. Drake chuckled. JJ didn't deal well with hangovers, since he never got them often.
"So, you had some fun last night? Make any new friends?" Drake asked sarcastically.
"Actually, yes. His name's Sean." JJ said sleepily. Drake was slightly surprised.
"Really now? Exactly how much fun did you have last night? You look awfully tired." Drake joked.
JJ, as naïve as he is, missed the sexual reference, and replied, "We had a lot of fun, we danced."
"So, you gonna be seeing him again?" Drake asked.
"Mmhmm. Friday." JJ yawned.
JJ spent the rest of the day shushing his colleges and wearing sunglasses. The others in the office found the display very amusing. Once he was feeling better he started to talk non-stop about Sean to Drake. Drake wouldn't admit it, but he was worried about his partner. JJ seemed to have latched on to the first person who came onto him. Drake figured he was just trying to get over Dee, but JJ was a very trusting individual. He could be too trusting sometimes.
"Hey, Drake, are you listening?" JJ huffed.
"Yeah, yeah. Sean's amazing, I know, I know. C'mon, kid, it's time to leave." Drake ushered his partner out the door. If this Sean person hurt his JJ, there would be hell to pay.
To Be Continued.
Author's Note: I'm really nervous because I've never written a FAKE fan fic before, I haven't even read that many. Not too much happens in this chapter, since it's basically just an introduction. Review and tell me if I should continue!
