A/N: I lied. I know. I'm sorry. It took longer than I said it would. I seemed to have hit a road block. Here it is...

Lindsay stared ahead at the man in front of her. She sat in silence while he stood doing the same. A few moments, or minutes it seemed like, passed. Just his presence was making her awkward, and his far off look was kind of adorable. Not just kind of. Definitely adorable.
She'd seen that look numerous times. It was his "I'm-in-deep-thought" look. Whether he was looking at a piece of evidence, deciding on how to go about processing a scene, looking at a new file or just staring of thinking of god knows what, he had that look. And she had a love/hate relationship. She could never tell what he was thinking with that look. But it was so cute.
She began to stand, not knowing what else to do. She got up, wiped her legs and butt of lightly, took one last glance at him, and began turning around to leave.
"The crazy one." His voice was low, deep and raw, and she found it endearing, but not as endearing as his words. Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. She turned around.
His face was still far off, but then suddenly, his eyes, began to shift, like he'd just realized something very important. He took a deep breath, and let it out slowly.
Looking at his feet, he said quietly, "I'm the guy who's crazy about you."
That definitely wasn't what Lindsay expected. She stayed silent, her mouth suddenly extremely dry, her face heating up, her head begging her mouth to move and say something. Anything. She felt her mouth open, but no words came out.
Danny glanced up at her, and saw her completely shocked, speechless. "I know...I...Don't speak my mind very well." He took a few steps towards her, looking down at his fiddling hands. God! It has never been this hard. I have never been this...nervous. "And I know you don't trust me, and are scared I'll hurt you. And I know it's probably to late. And I know you think I'm this crazy person." He took a few more steps, and stopped looking at his hands, and looked her in the eye. He was less than a foot away, and she could feel him from where she was. "But I also know that I've fallen for you. And as much as I try to deny it, I can't."
If Lindsay wasn't speechless before, she was now. She looked at him, his face carved with emotion. He looked scared. Like at any moment, she could crush his dreams. Moments passed of them just looking at each other. "Linds.. Please say-"
"First of all, I trust you. With my life, my soul. And with my heart. You'll hurt me, I know that. But I'll hurt you too. And we'll get through it together. Second, you're timing is fine, I my feelings haven't changes. Third, you are a crazy person. But you're my crazy person." Danny smiled at that one. "And finally, I fell for you a long time ago."
Danny's smile got even bigger, and of course, made her smile. She felt a hand reach up and cup her cheek. She leaned into it and closed her eyes. She loved the feel of his skin against hers. She opened her eyes, and covered his hand on her cheek with her own. Intertwining their fingers, she let their hands hand beside them. She leaned forward and placed her forehead against his.
Looking deep into her eyes, he whispered, "It's never been like this before."
Lindsay closed her eyes and sighed happily, "Like what?"
He looked at her. Such a beautiful woman. And she's mine. He watched the edges of her mouth curl up. "Home."
She opened her eyes and saw everything else he couldn't say in his eyes. She lift tilted her head up and lightly nudged his face over to her left with her nose. Softly, she placed a feathery kiss on the corner of his mouth. She slowly, torturously moved inward, until she covered his mouth with her own. His arms instinctively wrapped around her waist, and her one of her hands reached up to cup his face, while the other held his bicep.
She kissed him slowly, and he responded in no time. Once he started kissing her back, she lost it. She opened her mouth to grant him access, but he didn't take it. He wanted it slow, and it was killing her. After a few moments, she finally felt his tongue brush up against the top of her bottom lip, then slowly make its was to the top lip. She felt like she was falling down a deep hole, and she hoped it didn't have a bottom. Because kissing Danny was so good, so addictive, so passionate, soright, she never wanted it to end.
