The action was too bold and quite possibly too early for a kiss, yet every time Rick had looked at Elliot he couldn’t help be drawn in. He’d fought the temptation and had lost. Could you blame him? Rick would tell you no because he found Elliot charming in his own way. It even put Rick at ease when he felt Elliot kiss back even making the officer smile into the kiss. He pulled away slowly, smiling like the sun shining up at the sky. “Plan on leavin’ yer hands up. Not gonna arrest you. Unless you’ve been bad.”
His eyelids fluttered open when Rick pulled back, and Elliot looked speechless at the officer. A shy smile curled his lips, and not until Rick pointed out how Elliot was holding his hands did he notice it himself. Elliot shook his head, pinched the fore- and middle fingers together with the thumbs before wringing his hands loosely together. “...I try to be a good citizen, officer.” He chuckled, his smile becoming more beaming by the second.
