Random Morgan x Karadec thought I wanna write:
Morgan has taken a day off and finally Karadec has one day without her talking his ears off.
He is pumped up, an almost empty coffee cup in hand, keys jiggling in between his fingers as he walks to the crime scene. Oz is giving him the preliminary run down of the scene and he is mentally feeling the peace of being surrounded by his people, his team and the quiet of doing his own thing before Morgan invaded it.
And think of the devil, and she calls. 😏 He rolls his eyes but picks up nonetheless, ready to sass her a bit when he hears some distinct gunshot sounds from her phone and he is on high alert.
Meanwhile, Morgan, who had gone to Ava's school for open house with Ava and Elliot is now stuck there in a classroom with other parents and their children as a crazed shooter is prowling the hallway, shooting and shouting randomly. And the first person she thinks to call is who? Adam freaking Karadec!
So, Adam races down to the school, vaguely recalling that he had called for backup to that school address. He reaches the school and finds his heart dropping to the pit of his stomach when he overhears the cops saying that a parent was injured by the shooter after they tackled him to the ground. He gets some details off the rookie but his mind is spinning as he puts together the data. Tall, female, blonde, and a parent of a high school kid. In his distress, he doesn't hear the name. He is spiralling and looking around for her or her kids and finally he hears someone calling for him.
He turns to see Elliot waving to him and calling him over. His body is feeling some relief on seeing both Elliot and Ava okay and standing together and he asks where Morgan is when she walks out from around a corner and he feels so much lighter. That crushing weight lifting off his chest as she struts confidently towards them, hands full of water bottles and a bright, dazzling smile.
His eyes fly all over her form, looking for any wounds and he doesn't find any. He sends a silent thank you upwards.
He has this insane urge to hug her but all he does is brush her shoulder with his fingers. The only consolation is when she leans into his touch and tells him that they are all fine and that she had gone to meet the badass that had tackled the shooter.
The day ends with him driving all of them back to her place. He leaves after making sure they are alright. (Ludo is inside putting baby Chloe to sleep)
Before Adam leaves, Morgan touches his elbow and whispers a sincere thank you. He nods the way he does, turns and gives into the urge and pulls her into a side hug, squeezing her shoulder before brushing his hand on her arm back and forth as he lays his cheek on her head for a few seconds. Unable to resist, he brushes his lips on her temple before bidding her goodnight and walking back to his car.
He doesn't look but he wants to. But he doesn't and starts his car. His eyes involuntarily find Morgan still standing on her porch, waiting for him to drive off. Offering a small smile, he pulls off the driveway and heads straight home where he sits in his car a long, long time, simply letting the day wash over him.
P.s. should I write this as a oneshot? 🫣🥹🥹
