Work Text:
Maura walks in to the Division one cafe.
"Are you ok?"
"I'm fine I wish people would stop asking me that."
Korsak looks at her.
"What."
"Maura..."
"What, is my work not up to scratch." replies Maura
"Always...I'm just worried about you."
"There's no need." replies Maura
"I have some numbers I could give you."
"I'm fine."
Jane walks in.
"What's going on?."
"Nothing." replies Maura
Jane looks at Korsak who shakes his head.
"Ok, that's it."
Jane takes Maura's hand and they go to Maura's office.
"What are you doing?"
"Maura talk to me."
"I'm ..."
"Don't say I'm fine, I know you're not." Jane interrupts her
Maura shakes her head and puts a hand to her mouth as the tears fall.
Jane hugs Maura, rubbing her back.
"Why was I so stupid."
Jane pulls away.
"Hey..."
"Why didn't I realise that there was something wrong with that phone call."
"How could you...please stop blaming yourself."
Maura looks up to try and stop the tears that are falling.
"I will...as long as you stop blaming yourself as well."
"What you talking about?" replies Jane
Maura looks her with a titled head.
"I think my blame is justified."
"No it's not." replies Maura
"Maura, if you hadn't meet me."
"If I hadn't meet you my life would be so miserable right now."
"Safer." replies Jane
"Boring"
"I think I know why she picked you."
"Because I'm your best friend." replies Maura
"Yea, but it's more than that...I don't know maybe she read it in my diary or watched us for...like a second."
"You keep a diary?"
"Not any more." replies Jane
"Since when?"
"It was my therapists idea."
"You see a therapist?"
"On an off since Hoyt took us hostage." replies Jane
"Why didn't you tell me...I mean about what you were feeling."
Jane shrugs.
"You know me I'm not very good with the sharing...of feelings. I poured my heart out in that diary."
"What did it say?"
"I don't know how this came back to me, we were talking about you."
"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to" replies Maura
"I just said that I can't imagine my life without you and that I...love you."
Maura opens her mouth to speak.
"Am in love with you."
"Me?"
"Yea, you're beautiful, super smart and so funny."
Maura leans forward kissing Jane.
"I guess that means you...or do you just kiss everyone who say's they're in love with you."
"Only when I feel the same way"
