a/n: this fic was HEAVILY inspired by this ask from anon and the lovely @bibigo-lover's comment underneath the ask and so everyone thank bibi for my first holland fic!

HOLLAND NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF HIS GEAR.

Holland stared down the tangled mess of his shoulder holster, and he scratched the back of his head. He honestly had no idea how it even got like that, but then again, he pulled it out of his laundry basket when he finally managed to do it, so he might have an inkling of how it managed to get all twisted up.

Holland sighed and scrubbed a hand over his mouth as he stood in the middle of his bedroom, debating whether or not he had the time to try and untangle the mess of leather in front of him or risk getting his ass blown off by sticking his gun in the waistband of his slacks.

He barely registered the knocks at his front door and Holly opening it. He heard her say your name and greet you at the door before inviting you in. The two of you started to converse in low voices. He sighed in relief and left his bedroom.

"Oh, come on, March—" You looked over to where he was in the hallway, right where you stood in his entryway, having heard his footsteps. "Hurry up and finish getting dressed, we're gonna be late." You didn't even say good morning to him as you gestured to your watch.

Holland huffed, but had a lazy smirk on his face. "Well, good morning to you, too, sweetheart."

You sent him a small scowl, which he always liked when you aimed it at him (he couldn't explain to you why, though). "I don't want Healy mad at 9 in the morning."

Holland raised his hands in surrender. "Neither do I, but um— I need your help with something."

"What is it?" You cocked a suspicious brow at him.

"The problem is on my bed." He gestured to his bedroom down the hall.

"I swear to god if this is one of your ploys to get me—"

"It's not! " He reassured, cutting you off. But you could see the corner of Holland's lip twitch a little. "My holster is all tangled up."

Your eyebrows scrunched together in a way Holland always thought was cute. "Tangled? How in the hell do you manage that?" You started walking down the hall towards his bedroom.

"I may have thrown it in the wash?" Holland said, unsure, as he followed after you.

You rolled your eyes. "Of course you did." You sighed and entered his room, immediately spotting the said holster in question. You took a cursory glance at his room, and it was cleaner than you expected it to be, but it was still a mess. You could see some of his laundry still strewn about the floor, and an ashtray filled with dead cigs and ashes sat on his nightstand.

Holland noticed your inquisitive gaze and cursed himself out in his head, wishing he had cleaned up a little before you had come into his room. "Can you help or not?"

"Yeah, just give me a minute." You grabbed the holster off the bed and started to undo some of the straps, and fiddled with it while Holland finished getting ready.

Luckily for both of you, he was mostly dressed, save for his tie, holster, and suit jacket. He had moved to the mirror on his dresser and began doing up his tie slowly (he definitely wasn't distracted by the sight of your intense, focused stare at the task in front of you). You were quick to untangle the mess that was his holster and gestured for him to stick his arms out so you could sling the holster onto him.

It was almost seamless how the two of you moved, and you adjusted the straps on his back to fit him snugly. Holland couldn't help but notice how oddly domestic this felt as he put on his yellow tie, how wordlessly the two of you fell into each other, even though it had been a long time since he felt this way.

Holland had to resist the shiver that threatened to zip down his spine at the feeling of your fingertips brushing against his back—he swore he could feel your touch through the layers he was wearing—god, he needed a cigarette.

You eventually moved to his front after he had quickly (and a little sloppily) done up his tie (he's blaming it on not having had his morning cig yet). You made sure the straps weren't loose or frayed in the wash, since you had gotten him this holster as a birthday gift that had just passed.

Being in this close proximity to you made Holland's heart beat faster and his hands sweaty; he felt like a teenage boy with a crush all over again. He swallowed thickly as he tried not to stare at you (he failed) while you were adjusting everything for him; his eyes flickered from your deft hands to your face. They are just my partner, my business partner, who is very smart, and attractive, good with my daughter, puts up with my shit, and who I'd like to—his mental mantra got interrupted by his wandering thoughts. He almost physically shook his head to get rid of them.

Holland was so in his head that he didn't notice how you were smirking at him, clearly noticing how much you were affecting him. You pulled a particular strap by his armpit tight. You pulled with a lot more force than he expected, and he stumbled a little, which pulled him out of his head, and his blue eyes met your mirth-filled ones, your hands lingering on his arms as you braced him as he almost pitched over into you before you pulled away.

"Tight enough?" You asked with a faux innocent tone in your voice,

"What?" Holland's voice cracked and went a pitch higher than it normally was, clearly affected by you and your words (and just with your entire being in general).

"Is everything tight enough?" You repeated as you gestured to his holster, holding back a smile, but you were thoroughly amused at Holland's reaction.

Holland cleared his throat and nodded. "Oh, yeah. Very nice and tight and secure. This bad boy isn't moving." He waved his arms around to show how much mobility he had.

"Good." You nodded as well, but you didn't step away from him yet. You adjusted his crooked tie for him and patted him on the chest. He stared down at you dumbly. You sent him a sly smile before slinking out of the room.

Holland stood there for a moment, trying to savor the warmth leaking through the fabric of his shirt where your hands rested, his brain trying to catch up with his body. It wasn't like the two of you hadn't been in close proximity before, but this time felt different to him, like the air had been charged with something (he was hoping it was with sexual chemistry).

He could faintly feel something stir in his lower abdomen just from the slightest bit of contact. Oh, come on, March, get it together! They barely touched you!

"Hurry up, March, we're going to be late!" Your voice broke through his stunned stupor, and he was quick to grab his jacket and hustle out of his house.

reorganizing my house (blog) .ᐟ.ᐟ

please bear with me while i give my roommates their own spaces :))

[kenforty]

So, you don't get lost.

you knew being with lars would be different, dating him didn't magically negate his preferences to touch.

it didn't bother you, doesn't bother you at all, you like him, a lot, time with him is a blessing on its own.

but you did wish you could hold his hand every once in a while, especially in crowded areas, when you find it a little difficult to match your stride with his, almost getting swept away.

or maybe during walks in the park, cold air nipping at your skin, tip of your nose red and numb, fingers itching to clasp around his.

"my brother and I used to play there," he muttered, head ducking towards you, his cheeks plush and rosy, soft smile lingering on his lips, "sometimes we'd stay here for hours."

you nodded your head, looking at the broken tree house, worn with age, trying to imagine little lars and gus running around in circles, playing games fighting and making up.

"gus told me you use to hide a lot," you leaned closer, eyes meeting his for a brief moment before you looked away, giving him space again, "make him look for you all the time."

he grinned sheepishly, fiddling with his gloves, eyes darting around the empty park, "he was bad at seeking me."

there is an underlying sadness in his words, you reached for him, hand hovering by his arm, "he did find you eventually though."

"karin says wishes get answered here." he mumbled, eyes closing momentarily as he breathed in the cold air, warm puff of air surrounding him like a halo when he breathed out.

"Is that so?"

he nodded his head, before gesturing towards the lake, "do you want to go for a walk?" he pulled one of his gloves off, tucking it into his pocket, "you don't have to—"

"I'll go." a part of you want to tease him, another wants to savour the moment, "I'll always go, lars."

you wait for him to turn, guide you to the lakeside, when he surprises you, bare hand held out, before he snatched it back, quickly wiping his palm against his pants and holding it out again.

"so, you don't get lost," he spluttered, scrunching his nose slightly in discomfort but he persevered, adding, "accidentally, i wouldn't let you."

you pull you gloves off, sliding your hand into his, fingers cold against his much warmer palm despite being cradled in your gloves longer.

you suppose, some wishes do get answered here.
