You took a few more minutes to yourself, just focusing on breathing in and out before you got up the nerve to exit the back room. You made your way carefully over to Nick’s desk where your bag was still sitting, glancing over at Sonny who was studiously ignoring you. That stung, but you had to hold it together until you left the precinct. Nick glanced up at you briefly with a stormy expression on his face and you sent him another apologetic look for Sonny’s words. No one was escaping this day unscathed, it seemed. You grabbed your bag and headed towards the exit, tossing a quiet goodbye to the room at large.
Short lil sleep deprived fic bc this gif is everything
Your heart was beating so quickly it felt like it would punch it’s way out of your chest, falling right there onto the dirty metal grating. Blood rushing in your ears, palms pricking with sweat.
It was only for a moment, a brief, terrifying second that you thought you saw him as you entered the crowded subway station, a single face among a sea of hundreds.
You had hoped maybe it was your eyes deceiving you, after several long, sleepless nights. You were stressed, you were tired, and your brain must have been creating images that weren’t there. Because as soon as you squinted your eyes, stepped a little closer, he was gone. Vanished, into thin air, it seemed.
But, you knew he didn’t just vanish. People didn’t just disappear. And you knew you were on your third cup of coffee, hands shaky, but painfully wide awake.
You tried to steady your breathing, leaning against the cool, tiled wall and harshly rubbing at your eyes.
A sinking feeling settled in the pit of your stomach, and you recognized the feeling as if it were an old, long lost friend.

This man with that face wearing, that shirt typing with those long, skinny fingers will be the death of me. And don’t get me started on that hair…hdkehsuhx
