Just Wishing and Hoping
by Patt
Blair was watching Jim as usual, hoping that his partner wouldn't notice that he was paying that much attention to him. He was signing his paperwork, talking to himself. "I wish I were 'sinnin' with him."
"What was that Chief?"
Blair jumped and said, "Oh nothing."
"Did I hear something about you wish you were sinnin?"
"Nah, I said, I wish I'd be spinning like the world. Going round and round." Blair hoped he would buy it.
"Oh well that explains it all." Jim said acerbically.
An old song came on the station that played in the bullpen and Blair listened to every word.
// Wishing and Hoping
By Dusty Springfield //
// Wishing and hoping and
thinking and praying,
planning and dreaming
each night of his charms
that won't get you into his arms,
so if you're looking to find love
you can share, all you gotta do,
is hold him and kiss him, and love him
and show him that you care //
Blair realized he was going to have to step this sinnin up. He needed to do some of that touching and kissing. // Yes sir, Detective Ellison. You are mine. //
// Show him that you care just for him,
do the things that he likes to do,
wear your hair just for him,
cause you won't get him, thinking and a praying
wishing and a hoping //
Blair jumped up and ran for the restroom to see if he could do something with his hair. It had been pulled back all day. He knew Jim loved it down. // How do you know he loves it down? // While he washed his hair, he sang more of the song to himself.
// Just wishing and hoping
and thinking and praying
and planning and dreaming
his kisses will start...
that won't get you into his heart...
so if your thinking how great true love is
all you gotta do is... //
He walked into the bullpen only to find his partner missing. // Fuck... // He then began singing more of the song.
// Hold him and kiss him and squeeze him and love him
Just do it and after you do, you will be his //
Blair was getting a friggin hard on, from all of this sinnin and squeezing and loving. Where in the hell did Jim go?
"Rafe? Do you know where Ellison is?"
"No, I wasn't the one watching him today." Rafe laughed when Blair stuck his tongue out at him.
// Show him that you care just for him,
do the things that he likes to do,
wear your hair just for him,
cause you won't get him
thinking and a praying
wishing an a hoping //
Boy isn't that the truth? Blair had been wishing and hoping for a long time. It wasn't getting him anywhere.
// Just wishing and hoping and thinking and praying
planning and dreaming
his kisses will start...
that won't get you into his heart
so if your thinking how great true love is
all you gotta do..... //
"I'm getting depressed." Blair said quietly.
"Why?" Jim asked.
Blair smiled and asked, "Where were you?"
"I had to run some things down to Dan. Did you miss me?" Jim loved teasing his partner.
Blair sat quietly and sang the last of the song quietly.
"Is hold him and kiss him
and squeeze him and love him
just do it and after you do
you will be his....
you will be his.....
you..will..be..his........"
Jim looked over at Blair and smiled. Now he knew what was going on. Jim went into Simon's office and then walked out.
"Come on Chief."
"Where are we going, man?"
"We're going to take care of some sinnin." Jim smiled and started to walk towards the elevator.
Blair grabbed his things and made a dash for the lift before it closed. He jumped on wearing a big smile. "All of that hoping, praying and wishing did work. I can't believe you figured it out."
"Tell me about the sinnin. That's what I'm interested in. Later on you can tell me why you were singing a song from the stone ages." Jim pulled Blair into a friendly hug and they got off the lift. After all, they were at work. No monkey business at work. // That's a whole nother story. //
As Jim was driving, Blair said, "You know I'm going to start sinnin all alone, if you don't hurry up and get home."
Needless to say, it worked out. And Jim only got three speeding tickets.
