Work Text:
"Kent thinks we're dating."
"That's nothing new...someone thinking were dating I mean."
Jane clicks her fingers.
"That's why he said that, that time."
"Said what?" asks Maura
"Can police officers date people from tech."
"He said we flirt all the time."
"No we don't." replies Jane
"I know, right."
"You know it doesn't bother me."
Maura nods.
"I'm not talking about people thinking I'm gay, I'm talking about people thinking I'm dating you"
"Because we're best friends." replies Maura
"Because you're gorgeous,"
Maura smiles.
"And I'm not just saying that because you said that to me once."
"Well I meant it." replies Maura
"Hummm."
"What you didn't know that...what's wrong?"
"As much as I hate to admit when Kent is right."
"About what?"
"The last part." replies Jane
"I guess our interaction could be mistaken as flirting."
"Yea, thing is it's totally flirting, on my part at least."
"Why?"
"Because I like you...like you, like you. Have wondered what it would be like to kiss you, like you."
"I didn't know you were gay...I'm sorry that was very ignorant of me to say."
"It's OK...it's not about women, it's about...you."
"That sounds like love...are you?"
Jane sighs.
"You know once we cross that line, there's no going back."
"That's a yes." replies Maura
"I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable...I should just leave."
Jane gets up and Maura reaches for her arm.
"You know you don't have to wonder."
Jane sits back down.
"What?"
"I feel the same way, about you I mean." replies Maura
"Really?"
"Yea, even down to the it's just about you."
Maura takes Jane's hand.
"Are you going to kiss me or not?"
Jane smiles leaning forward.
