Work Text:
SH: I can give you back your flat key later tonight. Are you free?
MB: Yeah, I’m free for a little bit.
SH: Nine sound alright?
MB: Yeah. Also… thank you for helping out. Though I still don’t agree with lying to Gregson about the gun.
SH: You might not agree to the lying but you must admit the logic in it was sound. I put a lot of thought into finding a way to not get you arrested.
MB: How many ways did you think through?
SH: Three, almost four. But that one stuck out first. Instinct. Good to trust it.
MB: You know, if you wanted to hold onto my flat key…
SH: But the likelihood of this sort of you-almost-dying situation isn’t as high as you might think, so why?
MB: Instinct.
SH: Oh.
MB: Just text or call first.
SH: Ok. Can I still come by anyway?
