You nodded to the officers at the front desk with a smile as you crossed the precinct to make your way to Sonnys desk. You had happened to be in a meeting nearby so you decided to swing by to meet him and ride home from work together. There was only a minor twinge of discomfort at the back of your mind as your history with this room floated to the back of your subconscious. It had been months since the incident at the precinct and Sonny’s subsequent meltdown and you were determined to not be intimidated by the past.
Sonny gave you a half smile when he saw you, looking up from where his face was in his hand as he hunched over a file on his desk. You winked at him in response before greeting Amanda and Nick and then making your way to Sonny’s side. He stood as you approached, ever the gentleman, and leaned down to kiss you before gesturing for you to take a seat in the chair by his desk.
“Hi, doll. How was your day?” Sonny asked as he sat back down and turned to face you. You pulled your purse off of your shoulder to rest in your lap with a sigh, stretching out your feet slightly and making a face.
“Long. You know how much I hate having meetings around the city. Messes up my work flow,” you complained and scrunched up his face sympathetically. “Happy it’s Friday. Happy to see your face now,” you teased and he ducked his head briefly with a pleased expression. Somewhere in the background you heard Nick groan and Amanda make a faux retching noise.
“That’s my cue. I’m out of here, you guys. Have a great weekend everyone,” Amanda called out as she gathered her jacket over her arm and sent a wave over her shoulder. You responded in kind and looked over at Nick who was packing up his files with an amused expression on his face.
“You, too, Amaro? Being chased off by the strength of our love?” You teased him and Nick made an exasperated face with a half smile as he shook his head.
“…something like that,” he said after a long pause with the same expression on his face. “You guys have any fun plans for the weekend or are you just going to stare at each other and feed each other bites of pasta or whatever?” Nick called back in the same teasing tone that you had leveled at him. Sonny laughed, throwing his head back and clapping once in amusement as you stifled your grin.
“I don’t know…maybe we’ll mix it up this weekend and feed each other bites of something else,” you responded with a leer and Nick made a disgusted face as he shrugged back into his suit jacket. Sonny laughed again and nudged your arm and you gave raised your eyebrow and scrunched up your face at him in faux innocence.
“We’re repainting the apartment and going to the hardware store together to pick out color swatches,” Sonny finally interjected and you sighed under your breath as you remembered your weekend project. Nick took a look at your weary face and winced.
“Sounds like fun,” he said in lieu of acknowledging your expression, a small smirk shot in your direction and you glowered at him.
“Yeah! It will be great to make our place more homey,” Sonny agreed enthusiastically and when you looked at his excited face you couldn’t help but smile in response.
Sonny is just, ohhh, so sweet, and has an innocence about him. He’s dreamy 👀😊
