Prompt: It was a habit kissing her good-bye...so he thought nothing of it when he did it on their first day back.

(A/N: This takes place right before Nick shows up at Gail's with the box of donuts. From what I remember, Andy and Nick were in Mississauga debriefing somebody about their undercover case...right?)

The entire room barely looks at the brunette couple, one standing and one sitting, as they kiss goodbye. Only problem is…they technically aren't even a couple.

Distantly, in some logical part of his brain, Nick sends up a prayer of thanks that this happened in a waiting room full of virtual strangers in Mississauga instead of back at District 15.

It's not like they haven't kissed before. Hell, it's not like they haven't even made out before. (He'll never forget her ass on his lap, her lips trailing up and down his jawline as his fingers run up and down her back, selling their cover as a crazy in love couple.)

It's just that this is the first time they've kissed where they didn't have an active audience. Almost like it's something they'd do everyday…like a habit. It does something weird to his head, and there's now this warm feeling radiating from somewhere beneath his ribs.

"So, I'm gonna go." Nick licks his lips awkwardly, trying hard to ignore the sudden blush rising at the back of his neck.

"Yeah..." Andy trails off, her eyes open abnormally wide, still in complete shock over the feeling of his lips on hers.

When he gets to his car, he pulls out a burner phone from the glove compartment and dials a number he knows by heart...but of course only gets a voicemail.

"Hey, Gail. I'm on my way back, and I really want to see you."

Going through my old drafts and hoping to inspire myself to write something really new.
