For a moment, you think he’s going to kiss you. The cute agent from the FBI who you have now had the honor of dealing with on four separate occasions, along with this week-long venture. You remember the first time you had seen him, and you were sure he had smiled at the sight of you.
It isn’t a crush, or at least that’s what you kept telling your fellow officers at the end of each of those shifts. The fact that they questioned it excited you, though. Maybe they had seen what you had – the spark.
That’s why you think he’s going to kiss you. It’s the end of a long case worked on by both your unit of officers and the local FBI. You had delivered the good news about finding the suspect and apprehending him, ending the week-long search, and the smile that Dex gives you makes your stomach tie in knots.
You’re sure he’s going to kiss you. He moves so quick and for that split second, you’re hoping he does, but then his lips are on your cheek and you’re trying to hold back your sigh when he pulls back.
“You’re a lifesaver, Officer.”
You smile, trying to hide your disappointment. “It wasn’t just me, Agent.”
“Yeah, but I like you the most, so I’m giving you all the credit.”
You try not to let the wink he offers you make you feel some type of way.
-
“I feel like this is a little unfair.”
“Oh, is the big bad officer upset that they’re losing a game of darts?”
“I just don’t understand how you’ve gotten a bullseye every single time! I came here with you to have fun.”
“I think you’re just a sore loser.” Dex aims again, letting the dart fly, and there it is again.
Yet another bullseye.
“You’re cheating.”
Dex laughs. “I am not.”
“You’ve got to be!” You walk towards the dartboard, lifting it up and looking behind it. “What did you do? Rig it with a magnet?”
“Come on, Officer. Have a little faith in my skills.”
“I’ll have a little faith when you let me win.”
Dex grabs the darts before moving behind you. “Not a chance, but I can fix your aim.”
“There is nothing wrong with my aim!”
“Those empty drink glasses say otherwise.”
You smile as Dex puts a dart in your hand, keeping your hand in his as he pulls your arm backwards.
“It’s all about the aim,” he whispers against your ear. You bite your lip when he uses your hand to throw the dart at the board and…
Bullseye.
You turn slowly, staying close to Dex. “Does that mean I win?”
Dex laughs and you can feel the warmth of his breath. “Only if you can do it a couple more times.”
You don’t pull away, though something in the back of your mind is telling you to do so. Dex is your friend, and occasional coworker. This could be seen as inappropriate in your line of work.
But if he were to kiss you right now, like it seemed he was about to do, you knew you wouldn’t pull away or say no.
He leans towards you. You watch his eyes flicker down to your lips for half a second. You’re so sure he is going to lean down and press his lips against yours.
“Last call!”
You jump away as the bartender shouts for last-minute orders, feeling like you’ve been caught in the act of doing something you shouldn’t be doing.
Dex looks disappointed.
You offer a small smile. “One last drink?”
-
“About last night…”
“We were drunk.”
“Extremely.”
“I don’t even remember half of what we did.”
“Neither do I.”
“The last thing I remember is playing darts.”
“Right.”
Dex sighs, wiping at his face. “And we almost kissed.”
You fidgeted with the spoon from your coffee. “Would that have been so bad?”
You and Dex had decided to get breakfast together before your shifts. The two of you sat in a quiet booth in a little café, already dressed in your uniforms and sipping on what coffee you had left in your mugs before it was time to go.
You hadn’t expected the conversation to turn in this direction.
“I didn’t know if you would’ve really wanted to.”
You raise a brow. “Why’s that?”
“You were drunk.”
“We both were.”
Dex pauses before nodding. “You’re right, but I still should’ve asked.”
Ever the gentleman.
You smile. “Do you remember that one case we worked on? The one where we spent a week dealing with each other? And you kissed me on the cheek after it was over?” You chew on your bottom lip. “I thought you were going to actually kiss me, then.”
“I wanted to.”
“Are you asking now?”
You can see the little glimmer in Dex’s eye, the one he gets whenever he is about to do something mischievous. “I think I am.”
You stand, happy to have already paid for the check. “Come on, then, Agent. One goodbye kiss.”
Dex stands, taking one of your hands in his own. “One goodbye kiss,” he repeats.
You feel the excitement rush up in you suddenly. You realize how long you’ve been waiting to do this as Dex leans down.
A phone rings.
Dex’s phone is ringing. That look of disappointment returns again and you’re beginning to grow tired of it too.
“Next time, Agent.” You reach up a hand and smooth out his shirt.
Dex nods. “Next time, Officer.”
-
“So, it is you.”
Dex smiles from under the mask, but you don’t lower your aim. “Was there ever a doubt?”
“Doubt? No. Hope?” You straighten your stance and try to hide what you’re really feeling in that moment. “Maybe.”
“You didn’t want it to be me?” Dex pouts. “I thought I looked good in the suit.”
“You’ve killed people, Dex. People who deserved to live.”
“Are we sure that anyone deserves to live?”
You huff out a breath, trying to give your brain a chance to wrap itself around the situation and make it truly understand what is happening. “I don’t know what Fisk has done to you, but what you’re saying – those aren’t your words.”
“You trying to talk me down, Officer?” The smile is back, and it makes your stomach turn. It’s not the smile you’re used to. “It’s a little too late for that.”
You know he’s right. You know you’re not going to be able to walk out of here a hero for taking down the Dardevil, but you’re not sure if that’s even what you came here for.
For another half a second, you think about letting your finger pull the trigger right then and there. You were so sure that you could go through with this when you followed him into the church – the one he had wreaked havoc in just a few days ago and decided to return to on a whim – but now you weren’t so sure.
This was still Dex, after all. This was the man you had spent so many late nights with, the man who knew all your secrets whether you liked it or not. And you knew his. At least, now you knew them all.
You let the gun drop to your side, sliding it into your holster and locking it to your hip. When you look up, you see how close Dex has moved to you, almost as silent as his counterpart in the suit can be. You try not to let it overwhelm you.
“Did you always think it was me?” His voice is lower now, as if he’s making up for the closeness between the two of you now.
You shake your head.
“When did you figure it out?”
“When they said the Daredevil had used office supplies to kill people.”
He laughs. It echoes through the empty church. “Am I that obvious?”
“To me, yes.”
Dex closes the rest of the gap between you, his covered chest pressing against yours. You take a deep breath, trying to keep it steady. “I like that you’re not scared of me.”
“Who said I’m not scared?”
“I don’t think you’re scared of me, though.” Dex reaches a gloved hand out, fingers gripping your chin and tilting your head up towards him. His lips ghost over yours. “I think you’re scared of what I can do right now.”
You don’t look away. “Kiss me.”
He’s there, all over you. So quick that you’re unsure of what is happening until his arms are around you and your hands are trying to find purchase on the suit. When you can’t find anywhere to grab, Dex snatches your hands away, pulling them up to sit around his neck.
You feel overwhelmed – like you didn’t want to be, but it all feels so wonderful, and after wanting it for so long, you’re ready to fall head first with his lips pressed against yours.
You don’t care about what he’s done, except for what he’s doing right now.
