It Started with a Broken Necklace

Notes: Finch HC: he’s part Navajo. This can interpreted platonically or romantically if you wish. Characters: Finch, Dream, and Ink (mentioned)

It was a rather silent day at the JR castle. Ink was off on a mission, and Dream was doing his usual heaps of paperwork. A knock was heard from the outside of Dream’s office. “Come in.” The CEO said not looking up from his documents. Dream took a sip of his coffee as Finch walked in to report his latest mission. “Ah, Captain. I hope that it all went smoothly?” Dream said with a soft smile and a slightly perched eyebrow. “Yes, my lord. Zero casualties.” Finch bowed a bit out of habit. “Good, anything else to report?” The winged-man asked. “No, sir. Everything went according to plan. Your plan.” Finch made sure to empathize. Reminding Lord Dream that he was the reason of their success. “Yes, well, you carried out the tasks. I suppose we make a good team.” Dream replied, taking another sip of his coffee. Finch gave a little smile at that. “Thank you, my lord. If that’s all, am I dismissed?” Finch looked up, waiting for the taller man’s response. “Actually, I have one more thing.” Dream opened a drawer in his desk and pulled out a small envelope  with the captain’s name on it. He slid it towards him as Finch looked on in confusion. “May I ask what this is?” Finch inquired, doing a slight head tilt. “No, you may not,” Dream started with a playful smile. “however you may open it once you are off your shift.” Finch grabbed the envelope carefully. “Yes, sir. Thank you.” Finch racked his brain as to whatever could be inside. “Now, you are dismissed.”  Dream looked back down at his papers, ending the conversation. The captain nodded and turned on his way.

Later that evening, after Finch arrived home, he set his backpack down on his bed, and took out the envelope. He held it for a moment, wondering what could possibly be inside. What if it was a letter firing him? A letter sending him to a different division? Finch began to overthink the whole thing. He started to dread opening the envelope, worried about the details inside. Finally, he forced himself to open it. Inside was a neatly folded piece of paper and a necklace. This necklace happened to be the same one that broke three weeks ago, on a more serious mission. He was touched by the fact that Lord Dream would go out his way to fix it, not even thinking about how he even got his hands on the broken necklace in first place. He gently put the necklace to the side on his pillow. He opened the paper, which was a handwritten letter, most likely from the CEO himself. It read, “Dear Captain Finch, I hope you are happy with the contents of this envelope, considering how dear that necklace seemed to you. I see you wear everyday, and after seeing it broken on your desk, I felt I had to do something about it. So I took it to a repair store that a friend of mine runs. Do not worry about repaying me for this gesture, for it is one out of love. I hope it resembles how the necklace was before. 

Best wishes, 

  Dream

P.S I did not know you had a thing for Navajo culture, it is a beautiful piece of jewelry.”

Finch smiled as he read the heartfelt message. He reached for the necklace and put it on. It now having double the meaning and value to him than it did before. He folded the letter, placed back in the envelope, and put in the drawer in his nightstand. He got up to shower and change out of his work clothes.

The next morning, Dream made himself a fresh cup of coffee before heading to his office. While on his way, he ran into the captain himself. “Hello and good morning to you, captain.” Dream smiled, bigger than he usually did. Finch greeted him back, trying not to blush. “Thank you. For the necklace.” Finch was never the best at expressing himself, but he had to try. Not only because Dream was his boss, but because he had kinder to Finch than anyone had ever been before. Finch smiled, failing terribly at hiding his blushing face. Dream responded simply with a “Of course.” And they went on their way. But Dream turned around and said in a tone quietly but loud enough for Finch to hear. “You mean a lot to me, and I couldn’t thank you enough for your service and friendship.” Finch smiled even bigger and nodded. But that nod told Dream more than words ever could.
