“Only to you Wilder,” she held her hands up as if she had just lost an argument, a small smirk on her lips. Really, she didn’t mind if Casey tagged along on a vacation. He’d definitely be better than having no one come along, and still better than some of her other friends she could ask. At least with him, if they wanted peace and quiet, they’d leave each other alone after the first time of being asked. “That’s true. I guess we both do huh?” She then shrugged, leaning back in her chair. “Sometime after school gets out and I don’t have more than one piano lesson in a week.”

“I’m weirdly honored,” Casey chuckled lightly as he finished the rest of his coffee. He gave a little shrug at her question; it did seem like both were busy, but they certainly had some free time to hang out too. Just, with the way their parents were, it was hard to. Shoot, if anyone spotted them together now even, his mom would be asking when the wedding was. “So, maybe mid summer? Just let me know and we’ll go on our secret rendezvous,” he grinned, waggling his eyebrows at her. “You can pick the place too.” Casey side as he stood, hating that he had to go back t work now. “I’ll be waiting for that invite.”

[detectivewilder]

sesollelateacher:

“Oh really? Then maybe I should make sure it means the absolute opposite of whatever it is you’re wanting to hear.” She rose her eyebrows over at him in question, a smirk strung lightly across her lips. She’d never truly be that mean, it was all just fun and games with the other blonde. “I know you’re an adult, but I can still worry right?” She pressed her lips together as if she was thinking, her head tilting just slightly. “I do want you to come. I’d need some kind of company there.”

“You’re a tease,” he mused, matching Carly’s smirk with one of his own. He knew that deep down they cared about each other, but showing it wasn’t so easy. He really didn’t expect her to take him up on the whole tagging along vacation idea, but was pretty glad she wasn’t opposed to it. “Yeah, yeah. I guess you have a little right to worry, but I doubt they’ll even know I’m gone. I’ll just make up an excuse. I do have things to do outside of work, after all.” He was grinning now, fully. “You mean it? Alright, when’s this happening?”

[detectivewilder]

sesollelateacher:

“Well, however you want to accept it is how I meant it, alright? Whatever makes you happy.” She smiled over at him before taking a sip of her coffee. “I don’t know if they’d find out either, but it’s still something I’m going to be scared of. If I end up going and you want to tag along, I have no problem with it, just don’t tell your parents where you’re going. Don’t lie either, but don’t tell them.” She shrugged her shoulders, biting down on her lip a bit. Honestly, she wasn’t sure how they’d react to it, but she figured it would probably be the way they didn’t want.

“Not sure you should give me that option too often, Carly, or you may say some things you regret,” Casey joked, his blue eyes dancing with amusement. He returned the smile though, and drained another long sip of his coffee as Scarlett spoke, his eyebrows knitting together. “I’m not gonna tell them where I’m going, I promise. This may be a small town, but I’m also an adult. They don’t know every place I go and everything I do,” he shrugged, insisting they wouldn’t be found. “My lips are sealed -- that is, if you even want me to go. I don’t want to just invite myself or anything. That would be downright rude.”

[detectivewilder]

sesollelateacher:

Her eyes rolled slightly. “Didn’t know I even complimented you. That’s so rare, you better be honored.” Her own lips were curled up into a grin. Even if they did annoy each other a lot, they were still good friends. They just didn’t hang out much because of their parents. “Well, I don’t want to go alone, I just don’t want them finding out either and expecting more than what it really is.” She wouldn’t mind him coming, even if their parents would suspect things, she’d enjoy the company.

“That’s how I saw it anyways. Whether that was intentional on your part or not, I don’t know,” Casey shook his head, accepting it anyhow. “Oh, I definitely am, I promise you that much. I know, I just don’t think they’d find out. But I’m sure you have a lot of options for company,” the blonde shrugged; he couldn’t imagine Carly was struggling to find someone to spend time with. She was a total catch.

[detectivewilder]

sesollelateacher:

“I guess you are better than boring.” She admitted with a heavy sigh, a grin tugging at her lips. She really did enjoy hanging out with him, but sometimes it could be awkward. Especially if their parents were around because all they could talk about was how they should get together, or have their grandbabies. Rolling her eyes, she crossed her arms over her chest. “I do enjoy your company, Cas, but us alone on the beach isn’t necessarily something I’d want mom or dad hearing about. I’m sure you wouldn’t want your folks hearing about it either.” Her eyes narrowed as she glared at him. “Shut up.”

“Such high compliments,” he teased, lips sliding into a subtle smirk. “I know, me either, but they wouldn’t have to know. They probably wouldn’t ever even think we’d do that together. We could always make excuses for leaving. It’s just an idea, if you don’t want to go alone,” he added with a little shrug. “Regardless though, you should enjoy the summer freedom however you want to.”

[detectivewilder]

sesollelateacher:

“Oh, no. I think everyone notices, Casey.” She laughs softly before nodding. It was nice that he was passionate, but when it was something he still lived by even now and still everyday, it got kind of old and weird at times. That didn’t mean she didn’t love him though, she loved both of his parents. However, since they were like family to her, it kind if made Casey feel like family at times too, which confused her as to why they were trying to push them together. “Uh huh, whatever helps you sleep at night.” Her eyebrows rose as she tried to hide the grin that tugged at her lips again. “No, no, you’re amazing at your job. Just I’d rather not have you trying to boss me around all the time.” She scoffed at his next set of words. “As if Wilder, not even the beach could make me fall for you.”

Casey knew things could be really weird if they did actually listen to their parents. He and Scarlett had been pretty much raised together; she was great and her family was, but wasn’t that crossing a line? “hey! I’m a good guy. Just a  little mischievous at times. Better than being boring, right?” he shrugged a little, noticing the hint of a smile playing at her lips. “I wouldn’t boss you around. That would just be my excuse to go. If you wanted, I’d totally leave you alone and enjoy the beach on my own. Or if I found someone more willing to have my company.” He was clearly joking and burst into laughter at Carly’s response. “I know, I know. But the look on your face is priceless.”

[detectivewilder]

sesollelateacher:

“Oh, I notice that practically everytime I am over. It’s nice that he was and still is so passionate about the job though.” Scarlett had always looked up to both of his parents when she was younger, especially since they were like another mom and dad to her anyways. Not only that, they were such loving people and such passionate people. “Well, usually you are guilty as hell, Casey.” Her lips curled into a small smirk, obviously joking with him. They both had had a little wild side in high school, but neither of them were necessarily troublemakers, not that that helped their case when it came to their parents pushing them to be together. “Yes, I know. Maybe I’ll try talking to my student and asking if that would be okay for one night.” She then rolled her eyes. “If I did need an officer, it sure wouldn’t be you Wilder. Maybe if our parents weren’t so pushy though I’d let you tag along.”

“Alright, so it’s not just me then?” he mused with a smile. “I mean, he is and that’s great, but still.” Casey loved his parents -- he really did. And he adored Carly’s as well; they were like family to him. What he didn’t adore was their teaming up to nag them about being together. “I have no idea what you’re talking about. I am completely innocent and never caused any bit of trouble.” He was full on grinning at that point, and nodded when Carly was considering the idea of letting his mom help her out. Still, he pretended to be offended when she shot down his offer to accompany. “Are you saying I’m not good at my job?” he gasped, really not surprised by her answer. He knew she didn’t mean it that way. “It’s not like they’d know; we don’t have to tell them. Unless...” he trailed, waggling his eyebrows playfully. “Unless you’re afraid you’ll fall in love with me if we leave Beacon.”

Samantha moved to stand behind him, looking over his shoulder as he took a look underneath the hood. She bit down on her tongue in anticipation, she didn’t see anything wrong exactly, but it wouldn’t start so obviously there was something. She was just glad she had managed to pull over. “You’re kidding?” She sighed and ran a hand through her hair. “Well at least it’s easy.” She looked down the road,she was quite a bit from home walking wise so she’d have to take him up on the offer. “That would be great, officer, thank you. Can I give you anything for the trouble?” she asked, moving to grab her bag, rummaging around for some money.

Casey had been hoping it was a simple enough fix, but luck didn’t seem to be on their side tonight. “I’m sorry, I wish I was, but it could be a lot worse.” When she offered him some sort of payment, Casey shook his head, refusing with a warm smile. “You're welcome, Miss. And no, not at all; I’m just happy to be able to help.” The blonde went to his car and grabbed a set of jumper cables, placing them in the appropriate spots. “Can you get behind the wheel and try and start the car when I signal  you to?” he asked politely, praying they’d be able to get it going again.

“Yeah, I’m so ready for the show and for everyone to see it. I already know the whole town is going to love it.” He grinned over at the blonde. “Tickets actually go on sale tomorrow. I think we’re gonna start advertising it more tomorrow too. Get the whole town to know it’s gonna be great.” He shrugged his shoulders as he went on, leaning forward on the bench a bit. “Yes, I guess that true. Discounted alcohol is nice I guess, but not as good as it’d be to just get out of the job and be big.” He chuckled softly then let out a sigh. It sure would be nice, but he could deal with what he had now.

“I bet you are man. And are they really? Sweet! I’ll make sure I purchase several to give out to all my buddies. I’m sure it’s going to be a huge hit, like everything that comes out of there.” Casey could tell Teddy was worn out, but the only other job he had to offer probably wouldn’t be any better. “I know, but you’ll get there. Just give it time. It’ll be worth it. We do have an opening for a records clerk at the department, but I think you’d find it pretty boring.”

[detectivewilder]

“You never know Casey, you might pull out on top.” She shrugged before taking a seat on the final seat. Racing hadn’t been one of her best games in the arcade, but she had won quite a few times as well. However, she wanted the boy to have as much fun as possible so she was going to make sure he won. She put a few of her own tokens into hers and waited for the countdown to end before taking off as well, zooming down the virtual road.

“I dunno, we are here with a ringer,” he mused, giving Tyler a playful little nudge. “But if I had my money on anyone, I think it might be you, little man.” It wasn’t long before Casey trailed in third place, though he wasn’t much surprised. He’d never been the best at these games. “I promise I’m a much better driver in real life,” he promised just as his car made too sharp of a turn and careened into a wall.

humvnlifesaver:

“That’s so true, and some of them I wonder how people even did. They take so much time to accomplish.” He had had a few he tried to do and quit half way through because it was taking an insane amount of time and he wasn’t for that. “Of course I call them. Well, I call as many as I can. Like I said, some done pick up and I think some gave me the wrong numbers at times.” He let out a sigh, nodding. “But yeah, I know most guys do that, and they’re assholes.”

“Me too. And many are just plain gross, honestly. But we were kids -- what the hell did we know?” Casey was glad to know that there were still some good guys around Beacon, ones that didn’t string the ladies along. Not that he’d been in that situation in a while. “And here I thought only guys did that. Pretty messed up, but at least you tried,” Casey chuckled. “True, but I’m glad you’re not one of them. Got your eyes on anyone or are you waiting to see what summer has to offer?”

[detectivewilder]

sesollelateacher:

“Oh, I’ve noticed. Sometimes I forget he is retired.” She was around his parents enough and had been around them enough to know them well enough and notice all of their habbits. “Ooh, yeah. I’ve seen her disappointed side. Definitely worse than getting in trouble. Thankfully, I haven’t seen that side of my parents in quite some time.” Scarlett hadn’t been the perfect child when she was younger, that’s for sure. She did have those times she’d get in trouble occasionally. Nothing too serious though. “Besides me? So you’re saying I’m the only person in all of beacon that disagrees with you?” Her eyebrows raised as she smirked. She knew well that Casey was a gentleman and she was also sure he knew she was kidding, they were pretty good at picking up on each other, even their moods. She bit down on her lip a bit. “I don’t know if I could ask her to do that. Plus I’d have to make sure it was okay with the student first.” Shrugging, she leaned forward a bit more. “I don’t know. Tatum brought up the beach the last time I spoke to her, and that actually sounds amazing.”

“Trust me, you aren't the only one. I think he forgets it often enough too.” Their parents were like a second set to each of them, which could be both good and bad in ways. “It’s awful. Makes me feel guilty as hell and she knows it,” he shook his head, his blue eyes catching hers. Carly had been a firecracker growing up, but she hadn’t been trouble. it was the perfect mix of cute and fun. As far as he knew, that much hadn’t changed. “Of course. Everyone else here doesn’t bother to argue,” he joked, flashing her a playful grin. For not having hung out a lot, they could read each other very well. “Oh I know, I’m just saying. She really wouldn’t mind if you needed it though. You know she loves you.” That was an understatement. “The beach, huh?” Casey waggled his eyebrows flirtatiously. “Sounds fun. Need an officer to tag along? You know, to make sure you behave and all?”

MacGyver, episode 221

[detectivewilder]

samofthelaw:

When Samantha saw that it was an officer she was incredibly relieved, at least he could give her genuine help - hopefully trustworthy help at that. She stood up a little straighter, straightening her suit jacket a little bit. She was about to say something when he mentioned he knew a little about cars - if it could be fixed now that would be ideal. “If you wouldn’t mind that would be amazing,” she said. “I just didn’t want to call a mechanic because it’s so late and I don’t know if anywhere’s open at this time,” she said honestly.

“I mean, if you could take a look that would be fantastic. I don’t know a thing about cars, honestly.”

“I definitely get that, and you’re probably right about anyone being open. But there’s options at least. I’m not an expert, but I know a little; I’ll absolutely look at it.” Grabbing his flashlight out of his holster, Casey turned it on; it was too dark to see without it. He popped the hood of the vehicle easily enough, then started to shine the light on the various parts inside of it. After surveying for several minutes and trying to turn the engine over, the blonde sighed. “So, I think it’s the battery --  I believe it’s dead. Bad news is it’ll need to be replaced. Good news is it’s an easy thing to do and nothing major. If you want I can give your car a jump and follow you to make sure you make it home? Then I’d just give a mechanic a call in the morning.”

mrkindergarten:

“Morning Casey.” Charles said, grinning from ear to ear. “I love bagels. Do you have any cinnamon ones in there?” 

“Hey, Charles!” Casey returned the greeting with a bright smile as he held the bag open to the guy. “Sure do! Cinnamon and cinnamon raisin. Take your pick.”

[detectivewilder]

t3eddyevans:

“Yeah, the whole cast and crew are sworn to secrecy on this one. We can give hints and stuff, but not too much can be given away. Even I don’t know quite everything yet.” He shrugged, leaning back more against the bench. He thought it was pretty cool that even the actors were going to be able to be a little surprised with the show. Though some still knew more than others. “Yeah, I’d love to keep my career in acting going, but it’s hard sometimes with the money situation. The bar helps though.” He sighed softly, running a band back through his hair. “No, three hours isn’t bad. Until it’s stacked on with a 6-8 hour acting schedule. It isn’t the best job in the world, but I guess I like it.”

“Wow, sounds like it’s going to be really big. I’m excited to see what all of the hiding is about. Then, a little of a surprise for you too. That’s pretty cool.” Casey had worked for quite a long time now, and although some shifts were long, they were all with the same job. Juggling a couple like Teddy did had to be daunting. “Good man, stick with it then. I’m sure, but eventually you might make it big and not need to worry about the other job anymore. At least it’s discounts on alcohol and you can be social, right?”

[detectivewilder]

bvrnthevshes:

Even if she had been slightly annoyed that he had bought her tokens, the annoyance faded as she saw him cleaning up the table. It was so nice to know some people would actually do that and not just leave food and trash everywhere. Yeah, it was what the workers got paid to do, but were people really that lazy? Her eyes followed the boys gesture to the racing game then flickered back to Casey. “I’m always up for a little competition, but I’m sure this little guy could beat us both easily. Not saying I won’t try to win though.”

“Oh no, I don’t intend to lay low either. I most likely won’t win, but I’m gonna try,” Casey grinned as he lifted the little boy onto the middle racing vehicle. He took one on the outside, leaving the other for Nicky. Grabbing from the other tokens he had, he pushed a few into the slot. “Alright, Tyler, go easy on us, okay?” he joked, making the little boy giggle. As soon as the signal went off to go, Casey started zooming, though his steering left much to be desired.
