    Summary

    Harry loves Kim's apartment. It's perfect.

    Except there's only one shower.

    Kim’s showers are efficient, usually five minutes or less, except -

    VISUAL CALCULUS: Except sometimes they’re not.

    ELECTROCHEMISTRY: You know what he’s doing in there!

    INLAND EMPIRE: You do.

     

    PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT: You’re both men, are you not? Men in your early forties, but that’s nothing - and twice a week, Kim takes longer than usual in the shower.

    CONCEPTUALIZATION: Fifteen minutes. Usually in the mornings, before you drag yourself off your couch.

    DRAMA: He likes the plausible deniability. You’re not up yet, he doesn’t have to feel guilty.

    INLAND EMPIRE: Sometimes, though, he does it at night. One night - the dog days of summer, he can’t sleep, no one in the entire city is sleeping, if the irritability of the precinct, the circles under everyone’s eyes, and the crime rate is to be believed - he gets up and goes into the bathroom. You’re almost asleep, drifting, but wake to Kim’s bare feet padding through from bedroom to bathroom.

    PERCEPTION: You hear the groan of pipes, the sound of water hitting the tub. The pull of the shower curtain.

    Summary

    "Oh my god, shitkid, are you rutting right now?" Viquemare asks - demands, really - and Kim feels his heart drop. He hadn't even really considered it. In the year they'd been together, Harry hadn't had a rut, not even in response to Kim's heat. He'd assumed Harry was too old, already through the hormonal pause, and hadn't given it any further thought, but now that he was thinking about it, it made too much sense.

    The constant scent-marking, the way he stuck close to Kim's back, the glaring, the growling. It all speaks of an alpha in prerut, and Vicquemare getting into Kim's space has kicked it off in a big way. He's now nuzzling Kim's hair and making sweet little cooing noises.

    Summary

    SAVOIR FAIRE [Legendary: Failure] - Oh, you’ve got this in the fucking bag.

    YOU - “Maybe we could fuck about it?” The words slip out of your mouth casually, matter of factly, like you’ve only just suggested that you should take the opportunity to rummage through someone’s mail. You hear them as you speak them, like they somehow managed to completely bypass your brain on the way out of your mouth.

    -

    Kim and Harry are on a stakeout. It gets pretty interesting.
