Work Text:
He thought it wise to meet the man who would ultimately be responsible for his wife’s wellbeing. Vince Corgan. He did his homework pre meetup. From what he gathered from people who knew Corgan he was a good cop, a little squeamish (Amanda would fix that) but more than competent in all the areas you’d want an officer to be. He already felt relieved that Amanda’s new partner had a good reputation but he would make his own conclusions when they met in person.
“Vince?” Carisi asked walking up to the man who was already sitting at the bar.
“Hey, yeah Dominick, right?” They shook hands firmly.
“Nice to meet you” Carisi said placing his suit jacket on a stool and taking a seat.
“Likewise, likewise.. the man, the myth the legend” Vince added with a smirk.
That garnered a smile from Carisi he took that to mean his wife had been singing his praises at work.
“Oh, so she does speak kindly about me when I’m not around” he joked.
“When she gave me the run down on how you guys met I made sure to tell her I can’t be you but I respect her and have her back I’ve done my homework too, I hear she’s a helluva cop and sharp too.”
“Can’t argue with that, what are you drinking tonight?” He asked.
“Whatever you’re having I know it’s coming so, anything in particular you want to know about me?” Corgan asked.
“We’ll get to that let’s enjoy a round first, it’s been a long day sometimes I like to throw some back and forget I’m a lawyer” he playfully patted Vince on the shoulder.
“Alright then, let’s go first rounds on you right?” He asked returning that pat on the shoulder.
“Were you nice to him?” She tested as she heard the door creak as he entered their bedroom.
“Course I was.”
“I hope you didn’t give him too much of a hard time” she said.
“Hard time? Me?” He feigned shock.
Amanda could only roll her eyes she has seen Carisi get territorial.
“Just wanted to put a face to the name, we had some drinks talked family and came to an understanding” he peeled back the covers and got into his spot in bed. “And what understanding is that?” She asked. “I’ll keep that between us.” He chuckled. “I did give him some advice about bein’ your partner.”
“Oh, I’d love to hear this” she sat up in bed.
“Told him you have your own way of doing things he’ll learn to fall in line.”
“Some sound advice” she chuckled.
“Hey, it worked for me when I was your partner.”
“Well, I’m glad you were nice” she kissed his cheek.
“If you trust him, I trust him plus if he ever tries anything funny I’m an ADA and have no problem misusing my power if I absolutely have to.”
She shook her head “You were doing so well.”
His words were harmless in the instance, she trusted Corgan and there’s nothing that would get between them. Besides, she kinda found it sexy when he got territorial.
