A ficlet for #3weeks4DW
Tatort Saarbrücken, Leo/Adam, G.
Late at night in the office, theirs are the only lamps still burning. Adam says he has nothing better to do, and that's probably true. He's not the only one who needs this distraction. Leo fills in neglected paperwork, sorts through old boxes of files, actually reads all his emails; anything to avoid going home.
It's a constant fascination how the wild whirlwind that is Adam in motion can be so intently still when he's focused. Leo finds his eyes straying to Adam more often than he cares to admit, drinking in the graceful line of his neck, the way his hair falls over his eyes. Adam's dramatic gesture as he produces a file, his gleeful snort, his slow but triumphant grin when he pulls on the thread that will unravel the whole case; Leo doesn't miss a single thing.
The third time Pia finds them asleep over their desks, she teases them for being workaholics, and Leo smiles and shrugs and can't meet Adam's eyes. He loves his job, but that's not what he's addicted to.
