Susurrus

Summary:

an evening interlude post-movie events

Work Text:

The only good thing abut the ban on smoking inside public buildings was that it gave Jim an excuse to go up on the roof several times a shift, no matter the weather. It wasn't even a lie, every time he went up, he lit up. As much as Barbara nagged him about quitting, Jim persisted. A city like Gotham encouraged vice in people, and he preferred to keep his vices small, with well-known consequences.

Of course, as the fain rustle of fabric joined the susurrus of traffic below, even keeping his old vice hadn't stopped him from developing a new one. Jim flicked away the butt as muscular arms pulled him into a crushing embrace. Swapping spit and information with a known vigilante and official murderer of a DA was not a small violation of his duty as a police officer, nor did Jim know what consequences it would have in the future. But, like nicotine, it was addictive.
