Chapter Text
"Morning" he grumpily said to the officer at the front desk with a short good morning from her. he continued to walk right to the department kitchen to get some coffee, taking care of a child is surely tiring even Nines is a good kid it still exhausting. he pours the coffee to his cup and drink it, slowly waking up with caffeine helps.
(y/n) entered the new department she was transferred too, feeling a little excited about it. it's rare to get a transfer to a new department but the old forensic scientist here just retired so someone had to step in to fill his place and she was available, she greeted the officer at the desk and ask where the captain office and introduce herself to the officer. after she got the info she was looking for she walked to his office passing the kitchen in the process. Gavin stood where the high table was in the kitchen still drinking his coffee he saw a female figure pass by the kitchen he was confused since this part is not available to the public, but she probably had a good reason to pass by the office desk, since she needed the access to this place anyway.
After a conversation with the captain, he called all the people around the office to introduce the new forensic scientist that will work with them. with a few welcomes greets and smiles they went to their ways as Gavin was in the corner a little surprised that she was the new forensic scientist, she looks young what she had already done in her career?
These thoughts ran through his mind. He could not help but stare at her and analyzed her posture, appearance, and her body language. Her (h/c) were tied up neatly, allowing to keep face clear. Her (u/c) looked a bit different than their standard uniform, yet besides the color, it looked quite nice. Especially on her curves Focus Gavin. It's not the time to swoon a newcomer. Be formal at least damnit. He through to himself. Even though he tried to discipline himself, he could not resist those (e/c).
He waited until the newcomer was alone and ready to get back to her office before he walked up to her. "Hey there, my name is Gavin," he said while smiling with a charm yet keeping it firmly. "Would you care for coffee? Your predecessor and I had a good workplace friendship. I would like to continue the tradition" He finished with a soft smile, hoping that he didn't scare her. He might be all honey in words but his posture and looks are quite intimidating.
She looked at him a bit puzzled, then after a moment her face lit up with a smile and she agreed. She walked to her new office near the lab, Gavin in the meantime went to the kitchen again and pour the still hot coffee to a new cup and grab his cup before continuing to (y/n) office, feeling already good with the fact she had agreed to his invitation for a coffee to know each other better, or maybe even more who knows?
(y/n) was already sitting at her desk with her doc robe looking through the new files that were left behind by the predecessor for her. Before stopping and put it aside as a knock was heard from the door. She got up and went to the door to open, Gavin on the other side was waiting for a reply. She opened the door and was greeted with Gavin with two coffee cups in his hands, she smiled and moved aside for him to enter "I hope it still hot?" she asked him as he entered and put the cups on her desk before turning to her with a nod. "Yes, it still hot but not hot enough to burn your tongue" he answered back with a little smile, she gestured for him to sit as she walked to her own chair to sit and start to get him better… as they say.
They both have enjoyed a good coffee and a good talk like they knew each other for years and not few hours. Time flew by fast and before they noticed until one of the cleaning staff that passed nearby told them their shift was over. They looked at each other a little embarrassed, (y/n) started to pack the files into her bag and excused herself out of the office and said goodbye to him.
Gavin took both coffee cups to the kitchen and left the department as well. Nines nanny will surely scold him for hours. He thought while entering his car back home.
As expected he indeed got a scolding from the nanny but he still spent the rest of the night with Nines. Until the morning right after he dropped Nines at school he got a call about a new case, he cursed at the fact he got a case while he didn't even get his coffee or power to deal with it!
He parked his car in the front of the house that was surrounded by tapes to keep people out, hank was parking behind him a mere second he got out.
Both of them looked grumpy without their coffee, The officer who was waiting for them greeted them and told them that (y/n) was already inside taking samples, Gavin was already in better mode with her nearby while Hank just looked at Gavin with eyebrow raised – clearly got the hint that something is going on with him if he could be from grumpy to not grumpy.
They entered the house, immediately big regret the smell of the decaying body hit them hard. Even after years of smelling decaying bodies on crime scenes, it still gets Gavin to almost puke he placed clenched fist to his mouth and prayed to all what's above, to hold his food where it should be.
After a bit of meditation, the breakfast went down and he continued to enter the house further. He saw (y/n) bent over the table with field lab equipment, cameras, and gloves. Her clothes were nicely wrapped right around her body just her lab coat was in the way, but in this position, made him ache just for the thought for it. Before she turned to him with a smile – oh no, he hoped his thoughts the dirtier ones will be gone, or his body will react to it-!
"Gavin? Uh you got something there"
Oh no, he thought to himself.
