Chapter Text
They had a very wonderful night out with each other.
It was his birthday and they got together with his team to celebrate in their favorite bar. It was a sports bar they went to every time they had a team outing. The ambiance was nice with a pool table but also tables with enough space to sit all together. With bigger celebrations like this they also invited spouses so that’s why both Karen and Maddie were in the bar with them.
The team truly didn’t get enough nights out with everyone so this felt like a treat. What also felt like a treat to Bobby was his wife when she was getting a little tipsy. Athena tended to get very handsy when she had a few drinks.
It has caused some questionable situations in the past, but it was nothing the team wasn’t used to by now. Still, Bobby always kept his eye on her and brought her home whenever he felt necessary. They weren’t big on PDA, especially when there were a lot of strangers around.
Athena was sitting across from her husband at the table. She had some wine and was already feeling the effects. The conversation the Sergeant had with Karen was dying slowly, because Athena was getting distracted by her man. She was sure the younger woman saw her gawking at Bobby. Eventually Karen turned around to talk to Chimney, who was sitting on her other side.
The older woman was cursing herself softly, because she was the one who told Bobby to wear this dark blue polo. From her spot she could see his chest hair peeking out from the v neck and it was doing all kinds of things to her. Athena watched her husband having a deep conversation with Buck about something she couldn’t be bothered with understanding. All she wanted was to get her hands on her husband.
“You look like you want to eat him alive.” Hen leaned over from where she was standing behind her friend. The paramedic tried to stifle her laugh when she saw Athena visibly reacting to her unexpected presence behind her.
“I can’t help it. He just looks so good in that shirt.” Athena breathed and she sank further into her chair. Hen already knew how her friend would act when she got somewhere between pleasantly buzzed and downright drunk. She has been a witness to that on their many girl nights.
“Maybe I should be used to this, but girl that is my boss you are talking about. You already told me too much about your sex life. I don’t need to see you making googly eyes at him.” Hen held out her hand and got Athena up from her chair.
“Let’s play some pool before you can’t walk anymore and he has to carry you again.”
“That happened once!” Athena said a little too loudly. She felt the eyes of the team on her when they walked to the pool table.
--
They shot some rounds of pool, but even with the distance Hen created for her, Athena’s eyes kept going back to Bobby. She caught his gaze once, which made them both smile and she swore she saw him getting antsy too. Athena knew why. There was a reason why she picked this outfit for tonight.
Athena had chosen a cream sleeveless satin blouse with her favorite black cargo pants and some heeled boots. There was nothing particularly sexy about her outfit, but these pants happened to be Bobby’s favorite.
“Thank you.” Athena sighed happily when Hen brought her a new glass of wine. She had to quit soon if she wanted to regain a bit of her composure, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t gonna enjoy this glass.
The paramedic knew exactly what was going to happen later tonight. While she liked to tease the couple about it, Hen was also just so happy for the two of them. They looked very content and downright delighted to be in each other's vicinity.
Bobby was watching his wife cross the line from being tipsy to being drunk. She was almost stumbling around the pool table, but still pocketing the balls with no problem. Hen looked just as impressed as he was with Athena’s achievements.
He thanked his team for the wonderful night and walked over to the pool table. Hen put her hand on Athena’s back to get her attention.
“Your driver is here.” Hen laughed softly when her friend looked bewildered around her, as if she forgot where she was for a second. Athena’s body relaxed when her eyes fell on her husband.
“But the night isn’t over yet?”
“It’s almost midnight. Some of them have an early shift tomorrow.” That was a small lie, because Buck’s and Eddie’s shift didn’t start until noon, but he really wanted to get Athena home. Bobby thanked Hen and he put his hands on his wife’s arms to steer her softly towards the exit.
--
Bobby was glad he parked his truck nearby so he could get her inside quickly. Athena was not the easiest person to maneuver when she was intoxicated. She was often too busy looking at him or touching him somewhere on his upper body. He thought it was funny she was still cautious with her PDA even if she was plastered like tonight.
“There you go.” He buckled her in the passenger seat and stopped in his tracks when he felt her hands on his cheeks to pull him back. Athena pressed her lips to his and hummed pleasantly against his mouth.
He could taste the wine she had earlier, but it didn’t bother him. Maybe because he wasn’t a wine drinker, but also because he hadn’t felt like drinking in a while. Their lives had been stable and he was just happy for the first time in a long time. The wedding ring on his finger was proof of that happiness.
Bobby had to stop her from deepening the kiss, because that would make him forget where they were and that was the last thing they needed.
“We’re gonna be home soon baby.” He sighed against her lips before he pressed one last kiss before he backed out and closed the door. Bobby walked around the truck to get to the driver's side.
Athena laid her head against the seat and let it lull back to her shoulder so she could watch her husband. Or maybe take a peek into his v neck again. It was sexier from up close
than in the bar. She felt herself get riled up again and Athena started to wonder how much longer before they got home.
“We’re almost there. A few more minutes.” She heard her husband's voices break though her thoughts. Had she said that last part out loud?
--
Bobby wasn’t lying, because he turned into their driveway before she knew it. She undid her seat buckle and climbed out of the truck before he could walk around to help her.
“I wish you would stop doing that.” Bobby sounded a little exasperated when he finally reached her in front of the car. He locked the truck and put his arm around her to walk them both to the front door.
Athena had shoved her purse into his hands when she left the car and he was also carrying a bag with a few presents from the team. It wasn’t making it easier for him to open the door. Especially with Athena all up his business. He felt her hands snake beneath his shirt to scratch lightly at his back.
“Come on baby.” She giggled a little bit when she saw him fumbling with the keys. Eventually he gave her the purse back so he could finally open the door. Bobby got the both of them inside and they put the bags in the small hallway before they walked inside the house.
“Go into the bedroom baby. I’ll be right there.” Bobby was barely dodging her grabby hands and almost fled to the kitchen to get a glass of water and some painkillers. He knew the perfect remedy for Athena’s hangover but he wanted to get them now before his mind got otherwise occupied.
He walked back into the bedroom and deposited both items on her nightstand. Athena was sitting on the side of their bed, trying to get her boots off, but she was failing in her drunken haze. It didn’t take long for Bobby to toe his shoes off and kneel in front of her. He zipped her boots and got her feet out of them.
Her hands were going through his hair and ended up on his neck. Bobby knew what she was trying to do, but he also knew they needed to do some of her night time routine or she would feel even worse tomorrow. That’s why he gave her a few small kisses on her lips before he stood up and took her to their bathroom.
Athena sat down on the closed toilet seat and waited very patiently for her husband to get her her toothbrush. She watched him brush his own teeth while she let her eyes wander over his body. This was really the perfect view. Athena got up from the toilet and walked over to her husband.
“Come on baby, let me do this. Last thing before we go to bed.” Bobby tried to negotiate with his drunk wife. She got his shirt off after they were done with brushing their teeth and now she was going for his jeans. He, on the other hand, wanted to clean her face so there was no more makeup on her skin.
It took a minute for Athena to drop her hands but after that she was sitting very quietly and patiently again, while her husband was wiping her skin very gently with her make-up remover. She watched his face while he was trying to get every inch of her skin.
“You’re really sweet -” Athena beamed at her husband. “- and veeeeery sexy.” She decided he had done enough and grabbed at his jeans again. This time Athena was successful in loosening them and getting it off his body. She got up and started stripping right there and then.
Bobby was slowly shaking his head but finally accepted her advances. He pulled her towards him and pressed his lips against her in a heated kiss. Bobby started to walk them backwards to the bedroom and let Athena climb onto the bed.
“One more second. I really need to use the bathroom baby.” He whispered against her neck where he was kissing her. Athena grumbled a bit but it was less protest than he had expected.
Bobby went to the bathroom to do this business. He washed his hands and put their clothes into the hamper. The sound of soft snoring reached his ears when he walked back to the bedroom.
Of course she had fallen asleep.
