A/N: Holy cow, guys! I didn't expect the feedback to be that great, especially after just one chapter! You guys rock! So, as a reward for being super fantabulous, you get a mini update in preparation of a full update which will come later this week.

Also, someone said something in a review that everyone needs to hear, because the accuracy is astounding and wonderful. It was something along the lines of, "Kenzi is much better at doing things on the down-low; Bo has the subtlety of a sledgehammer." I enjoyed it, you should too.

Disclaimer: See first chapter, what, what.


The smell of freshly brewed coffee invaded Kenzi's senses as she ascended the single flight of stairs that would lead her into the heart of the 39th division. It was unusually frigid outside so the warmth radiating from the two cups of fresh, piping hot coffee in her small hands was a welcomed sensation. The little goth paused briefly to settle her churning stomach before rounding the corner into the bustling bull pin.

Her pale blue eyes narrowed sharply on her target. Her heart-rate picked up significantly when she saw the always-pristine bun of blonde hair belonging to the object of her desire. Tamsin sat with her back to the door working diligently at her desk, in all its cluttered glory. Kenzi took a deep breath and started the short walk to where the Valkyrie sat.

"Top o'the morning, Tammers!" Kenzi's voice sang as she approached the older woman. Tamsin glanced up from her work momentarily and gave Kenzi a suspicious once-over.

"What are you doing here, Kenzi?" Tamsin spoke through a sigh, returning her attention to the mountain of paperwork on her desk.

"I, uh...y'know. I was in the neighborhood and thought I'd come see how my favorite badass detective was doing," she stammered, not having thought this far ahead in her plan. "And, well, it's cold and it's morning and – it's a cold morning so I thought you might- I brought you a coffee," the human blurted out. She extended her arm and offered Tamsin one of the heated beverages.

The blonde slowly lifted her eyes to appraise the stuttering girl before her. Her gaze narrowed skeptically as she reached her own hand out to accept the gesture. "...thanks. I think," she said slowly. When her hand wrapped snuggly around the cup, her long fingers danced lightly over Kenzi's own thin digits.

The dark-haired girl's breath caught in her throat and her eyes darted quickly to the source of contact before she quickly retracted her hand.

Tamsin raised a suspicious brow at the other woman's actions. "Oookay? Listen, Kenz, I appreciate the coffee, but B-"

"Kenzi?"

The human internally groaned and screamed at the same time as her name sounded from behind her in an all too familiar voice. She turned briskly just as the woman reached Tamsin's desk.

"BoBo, hey! Fancy meeting you here, huh? What are you up to?" Kenzi forced out in the most disgustingly cheerful voice she could manage in her current shituation.

"I brought Tamsin breakfast this morning and...coffee, which I see you did too," the succubus replied, eying the cup in the blonde's hand. "I ended up spilling some of mine so I was just in the bathroom cleaning up. What about you?"

"Oh, yeah, cool. No problem-o, Bo-licious. I was just swinging by to bring a warm beverage to the brave defender of our great city," Kenzi dramatized, "...and ask her to-"

"Detective?" a man said sternly from a few desks away. "You're needed in the field. Your partner is sending you the details and address now."

"Well, as fun as this little encounter has been, ladies, it looks like I'm gonna have to scoot. Duty calls and all that," Tamsin said as she gathered her phone and coffee from the desk. She gave the pair a last awkward nod before fleeing the room. Once she was gone, Bo flopped heavily into her now-vacant chair with an exasperated groan.

"Kenz! What are you doing here, I thought you said you had 'errands' to do today?" Bo whined with her hands pressed over her face.

"I did have errands! This just happened to be one of them," Kenzi snapped defensively. Or maybe this was all of them, but she doesn't need to know that. "Besides, why are you even awake right now, woman?! You're never up before noon on a Sunday!"

"Well I was going to ask Tamsin to meet me at the Dal after work but it looks like that won't be happening now, will it?" Bo sneered through a glare.

Kenzi scoffed a bit at this. "She wouldn't meet you there anyways, so I'd say you should be thanking me for saving you from the pain of rejection."

Bo stood from her slouched position in the chair and narrowed her eyes at her friend, towering over her, far beyond being in her space. "And what makes you think she wouldn't go out with me, hmm?"

The human didn't back down. She didn't even look intimidated, rather, she simply grinned smugly back at her roommate, staring her directly in the eye. "Because," she said, her voice low and threatening, "she'll be too busy going out with me tonight."

"You didn't..."

"No," Kenzi said plainly, stepping away from Bo and walking backwards towards the exit. "But I'm about to." She shot the brunette a wink before spinning quickly on her heel and rushing from sight.

"Not if I ask her first! Kenzi!" the succubus called after the woman as she, too, took off on her heels. She didn't see Kenzi as she burst through the door of the building and out onto the sidewalk. Her eyes scanned the streets until they found a flash of blonde hair ducking into a car in a parking lot across the street. "Gotcha," she muttered, her face morphing into a sly smirk as she darted in front of oncoming traffic.

"Tamsin, wait!"

The sound of her name coming from the other end of the lot pulled the Valkyrie from her thoughts. She turned to see Bo quickly making her way in her direction. Turning her attention back to the phone at her ear, she quickly said, "Yeah, sure. Sounds good, but I gotta run. I'll see you later," and hung up just as the brunette jogged up to her side.

The detective dragged her eyes over the appearance of the huffing and puffing woman, becoming increasingly amused as she tried to catch her breath.

"Did you need something, succulette?" she questioned with a quirked brow, not quite sure what to make of the situation.

"Will you pant let pant me pant buy you pant pant a drink pant tonight?"

If it were possible for Tamsin's eyebrow to recede beyond her hairline, it would've happened then.

"Ah, look, I would've said yes," she began, turning so she was facing the clearly exhausted baby fae.

"..but?" Bo urged.

"But I kind of already have plans tonight. With Kenzi, actually. She called like two seconds before you ran up and asked me to meet up with her at the Dal tonight. Sorry, hotpants," she concluded, feeling a slight twinge of guilt seeping into her consciousness.

"Oh...oh, okay, yeah. Tha- that's cool. Maybe some other time, then?" Bo's face visibly fell. The sight tugged at Tamsin's steely heart, as the brunette turned to walk away slowly. "I guess I'll see you around, Tamsin." She gave a weak wave and a half smile but jumped when she felt a hand catch her wrist, keeping her in place.

"Wait, Bo," the Valkyrie muttered. I can't believe I'm about to do this. "I'm sure Kenzi won't mind if you come. I mean, she is your best friend and all, right? We can all three get smashed, it'll be fun."

Bo couldn't contain the grin that spread across her face, but not at the idea of the evening with the blonde. Well, at least, not completely. Oh, Kenzi is going to be so smug about her date with Tamsin. She's going to freak when she finds out I'm coming too...if I even tell her.

"That would be amazing, Tamsin," she said sweetly. "I'll see you tonight, then?" The succubus bit her bottom lip and smiled as she backed away from the blonde.

Tamsin didn't wait for her to be out of sight before turning and virtually launching herself into the vehicle. She pressed her forehead against the steering wheel and groaned before speaking outwardly to herself, "What the fuck did I just agree to?"
