A/N: Someone sent me a message on Tumblr (link in my profile) asking me to write a fic. What they basically said was 'Tamsin being in a 'relationship' with Dyson bringing out how Bo really feels about Tamsin and how that progresses'. Sounds like fun. So here it is. For the purposes of this fic Kenzi isn't dead.
Chapter One
Dyson had been away, doing his wolf thing, so Bo decided to go round to his loft the morning he was due back. It was a Sunday, but as Bo didn't know whether he was due at the station or not she made it an early morning visit. As Dyson answered the door he pulled on a t-shirt.
"Bo," he said, "either you haven't slept or it's something really important to get you out of bed before noon."
"Ha ha very funny," Bo said, rolling her eyes a little, "Kenzi and I are working on this missing Fae case and I wanted your opinion on something."
"Come in." he said with a little smile.
"There's a few things that just don't make sense…" Bo said as she walked into the loft and Dyson closed the door, "I would have talked to Tamsin about it, but she didn't come home last night, so…"
"Dyson where's the coffee?" Tamsin asked, as she walked out of the kitchen as if on cue, wearing one of Dyson's shirts and not much else as far as Bo could tell, she stopped in her tracks when she saw Bo, "hi Bo…"
"Hey Tamsin…" Bo replied, a confused look on her face.
"Cupboard above the sink." Dyson said, answering Tamsin's question.
"Thanks…" she said, "I should… er…"
"Go put some clothes on maybe?" Bo asked.
"Yeah that…" Tamsin said with a little nod.
As Tamsin went into Dyson's bedroom and closed the door, Bo shot Dyson a look.
"Something you want to tell me?" Bo asked.
"Not really," Dyson replied with a smile, "the case?"
"What case?" Bo asked, having seen Tamsin at Dyson's in nothing more than a shirt completely making her forget why she was there in the first place.
"The missing Fae case you and Kenzi are working on…" Dyson said.
"Oh that case," Bo said, "yeah, erm… that can wait, it's not important."
"It's important enough for you to be here at 7:30 in the morning." Dyson said, finding himself slightly amused at how Bo was reacting.
"It's not that important," Bo said, walking over to the door, "plus it looks like you have other things to keep you occupied right now…"
Tamsin walked back out of Dyson's room, now wearing a pair of faded ripped jeans and a white t-shirt.
"I'll talk you about it later…" Bo said to Dyson while looking at Tamsin.
Tamsin looked at the floor, unable to make eye contact with the Succubus. Bo left, and Tamsin let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.
"Well that was… awkward." She said to Dyson.
"It's one way of telling her I guess." Dyson said with a little laugh.

"What's got you all serious?" Kenzi asked as she sat next to Bo at the Dal.
"Tamsin…" Bo replied, playing with the straw that was in her drink.
"What's she done this time?" Kenzi asked with a laugh.
"She's was at Dyson's earlier." Bo said.
"Well they are friends so that's not really surprising." Kenzi replied, wondering where this was going.
"In nothing but his shirt at 7:30 in the morning." Bo said, looking at the human whose eyes had grown wide.
"Maybe she had a rough night," Kenzi said with a shrug, "needed somewhere to crash… for some reason had to take off her clothes… or something…"
"She talks to you about everything," Bo said, "she didn't mention it?"
"I haven't seen her to talk to today," Kenzi said, "she came home and jumped in the shower then headed out again. What's the big deal if there's something going on with her and Dyson? I mean, they're both adults, both hot…"
"It's just… it's Dyson, you know…" Bo said.
"Dyson, who as we have discovered is a hot blooded male," Kenzi said, "and you've got to admit, Tamsin is smokin'…"
"I just… never really pictured them together, you know." Bo said.
"Well, if he's with T now that leaves you completely open for the doctor…" Kenzi said with a little smile.
"I guess it does." Bo replied.
"Where is she by the way?" Kenzi asked.
"Who?" Bo asked in reply, her mind really not on the conversation as she saw Dyson and Tamsin walk into the bar.
"Lauren…" Kenzi replied.
"Er… work, I think." Bo said, not able to take her eyes off the blonde Valkyrie as she set up the pool table.
"Ladies…" Dyson said, as he walked up to the bar to get the drinks in for himself and Tamsin.
"Wolf-man…" Kenzi said, "So… what's going on with you and the blonde hottie?"
Dyson laughed a little as Trick walked over.
"Beer for me and a vodka for Tamsin, please." He said with a smile.
Trick nodded and went to get the drinks.
"Answer the question D-man." Kenzi said, noticing that Bo was still looking at Tamsin.
Bo found herself noticing how Tamsin's jeans hugged in all the right places, how the light reflected off her blonde hair. As the Valkyrie looked over at her Bo felt something in her chest start to ache. She'd always thought that Tamsin was attractive, smoking as Kenzi said, but for some reason she looked even more gorgeous than usual.
Tamsin hadn't talked to Bo or Kenzi after Bo saw her at Dyson's earlier that day, for some reason she had actually gone out of her way to avoid Bo.
"When did it start?" Bo asked, out of nowhere.
"When did what start?" Dyson asked.
"You and Tamsin… when did it start?" she asked again.
"The night you came here," Dyson said, as Trick brought over the drinks, "told me you would never love me in the way I loved you… Tamsin turned up about 10 minutes after you left… we had a couple of drinks, one thing lead to another…"
"So she's a rebound?" Kenzi asked, finding herself sounding a little angry at the idea that Dyson was using Tamsin to get over Bo.
"I didn't say that." Dyson said, picking up the drinks. "We're both single, what's the problem?"
"Do you love her?" Bo asked.
"I care about her a lot." Dyson replied.
"That's not what I asked," Bo said, looking at him for the first time, "do you love her?"
"Its early days Bo," Dyson replied, "and it's also none of your business, you made it pretty clear where you and I stand."
With that he took the drinks over to the pool table.
"I can't figure this out…" Kenzi said.
"What's to figure out," Bo said, "she's a rebound, he's using her…"
"I don't think he is," Kenzi replied, "but that isn't what I can't figure out… I can't work out who you're actually jealous of."
"What?" Bo asked, "I'm not jealous of anyone."
"Right," Kenzi said with a little nod, "that's why you have barely taken your eyes off Tamsin since they got here… you can't expect him to just wait around when you told him you couldn't love him, they are both adults…"
"And if he is using her?" Bo asked.
"Then his junk will meet the sharp end of Geraldine." Kenzi said, matter-of-factly, "Like he said, it's early days…"

It was 2am when Bo staggered towards Dyson's door, her hand over her stomach to try and slow the bleeding, she probably shouldn't have gone to the Dark Bar alone. She pushed the buzzer and waited for a response. She knew Tamsin would be there, as from what Kenzi had text her, she wasn't at the Club house, but she needed to heel. She pushed the buzzer again.
"Come on…" she said, holding herself up by putting her hand on the wall next to the door.
Tamsin opened the door.
"Shit… Bo…" she said, helping the Succubus inside, "What the hell happened?"
"I went to bar…" Bo replied, "To try and find out some more about this missing Fae case… I was… asking questions…"
"Guess you asked the wrong person the wrong question huh…" Tamsin said as she helped Bo over to the sofa, "Dyson isn't here right now, he's working a case…"
"I know this is probably going to… complicate… whatever it is between you two…" Bo started to say.
"What do you need Bo…?" Tamsin asked.
"You…" Bo replied.
