Title<\/strong>: Building
\nPrompt<\/strong>: # 21 – Friends
\nWord Count<\/strong>: 115<\/p>\n

The moment the two met they became fast friends. Eric’s upbeat personality accented Speed’s dark cynical attitude. Many times the Cuban pulled Speed out of the lab to get out and have some fun. Soon people were seeing soft smiles and playful banters between the two men. They became close and inseparable. If Speed was in a dark mood, Eric was sent to Trace to deal with him. It was Speed’s views on the world that kept Eric grounded and focused, instead of getting lost in cases they couldn’t win.<\/p>\n

So it wasn’t much of a shock to their friends, the lab, or even Eric’s family when the two friends turned lovers.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Title<\/strong>: Destruction
\nPrompt<\/strong>: # 22 – Enemies
\nWord Count<\/strong>: 120<\/p>\n

The lab was a battlefield. No one dared to enter Trace without good reason, plenty of armor, and preferably backup. Speed was not only in a dark, cynical, depressive mood. He was agitated, hurt, and pissed.<\/p>\n

Their friends had been shocked when the lovers became bitter enemies. It had taken Alexx’s sheer stubbornness to get the story out of Speed. He had broken down and cried on her shoulder.<\/p>\n

Eric had cheated on him.<\/p>\n

It took Horatio and Calleigh to stop her from hurting the Cuban. Calleigh and Horatio had tried to get the two to talk, but both were stubborn.<\/p>\n

So the lab stayed a battlefield and no one dared entered Trace – especially Eric.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Title<\/strong>: Rebuilding
\nPrompt<\/strong>: # 23 – Lovers
\nWord Count<\/strong>: 152<\/p>\n

The case had set everyone on edge, but Speed had lost it. There’s only so much a man can take. When the suspect that everyone and their mother knew was guilty as hell smirked and winked at the New Yorker and said, ‘Better luck next time’, no one blamed him; even Stetler turned a blind eye when Speed flattened him.<\/p>\n

Eric stood outside the Trace lab watching the scruffy CSI. He had everything he ever wanted in his hands and lost it because of a stupid comment from an old, now ex-friend. He didn’t even remember the girl\u2019s name.<\/p>\n

Speed looked up when Eric walked into the lab.<\/p>\n

“I love you,” Eric said.<\/p>\n

Speed choked; the Cuban had never said the words the whole time they were together. He found himself back in Eric’s arms, holding on to him tightly.<\/p>\n

The lab watched as enemies became lovers once again.<\/p>\n

Title<\/strong>: Falling
\nPrompt<\/strong>: # 6 \u2013 Hours
\nWord Count<\/strong>: 127<\/p>\n

It took me hours to fall in love with him. Horatio brought him into my lab and the rest was history. I looked into brown eyes and got lost. He gave me a shy smile and every rule I ever made stating that I would never date a co-worker went out the window.<\/p>\n

I had a backlog of evidence to process. Horatio suggested that he could help me, as a way of showing him the ropes. While we worked on the evidence I learned he was the baby of the family with three older sisters. He\u2019s half Cuban, half Russian and spoke both languages fluently.<\/p>\n

Four hours later I was completely and utterly in love. Now I just had to figure out what to do about it.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Title<\/strong>: Now What?
\nPrompt<\/strong>: #7 \u2013 Days
\nWord Count<\/strong>: 155<\/p>\n

I had thought about him for days. He never left my mind. He was in my dreams, my thoughts. I wasn\u2019t sleeping very well and it was starting to show. I took a few days off to clear my head and figure out what to do. Now that I had fallen in love with a Russian\/Cuban Catholic boy, what do I do?<\/p>\n

I took my bike out and just drove wherever the road would take me. I hadn\u2019t felt these emotions since before I ran from New York. I had never thought I would fall in love again. But here I was, a lovesick puppy.<\/p>\n

I sat on my bike and looked out over ocean. As I watched the sunrise I came to a decision. New York was my past it was time to move on. I kicked my bike into gear and sped back to Miami. I had a Russian\/Cuban Catholic boy to woo.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Title<\/strong>: Plotting
\nPrompt<\/strong>: #8 \u2013 Weeks
\nWord Count<\/strong>: 124<\/p>\n

Before I was due back at work I knew I had to come up with some sort of plan. He wasn\u2019t going to be easy to woo. There\u2019s a cultural history I would have to get through. I had my heart set on him and I wasn\u2019t going to give up because of some self-righteous teachings.<\/p>\n

I took the next few weeks and learned what I could about him – what he liked, what he did outside of work. We went clubbing together. I watched as he picked up girls, seeing what he liked, seeing if there was any sign.<\/p>\n

I grinned from the dance floor. It seems our Russian\/Cuban Catholic boy doesn\u2019t mind getting a drink from a man. Let the wooing begin.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Title<\/strong>: Seducing
\nPrompt<\/strong>: #9 \u2013 Months
\nWord Count:<\/strong> 173<\/p>\n

I put my plan to action. It started off slow. A beer after work, maybe some dinner; then progressed to an afternoon around town. I opened up, which let me tell you wasn\u2019t easy on my part. I talked about my childhood, he told me about his. I told him about my first love, how I lost him and ended up in Miami.<\/p>\n

He told me about the first boy he loved. How he was so scared to come out to his parents. Only to find out they loved him no matter who he loved. I courted him for months before he took the bull by the horns and kissed me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got tired of waiting.\u201d He grinned as he pulled me down the hallway towards my bedroom.<\/p>\n

I explored his body with my tongue, memorized it with my hands and as I slipped into him I told him what was in my heart. \u201cI love you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI love you, too.\u201d He reached up and pulled me into a soft sweet loving kiss.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Title<\/strong>: Anniversary
\nPrompt<\/strong>: #10 \u2013 Years
\nWord Count:<\/strong> 168<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t keep the grin off my face. Today was a special day. Five years ago he told me he loved me. He now tells me every morning as we wake up. I won\u2019t lie it hasn\u2019t been all perfect and rosy. We\u2019ve had our fights. One of them so bad I thought I had lost him. But with some help from our friends and family we made it through and have been stronger ever since.<\/p>\n

Today is not only our anniversary, but the day we sign the papers for our new house. Our House. I like the sound of that. He\u2019s grinning from ear to ear bouncing on the balls of his feet. His excitement is contagious.<\/p>\n

I signed my name on the dotted line next to his. It\u2019s official. We own a house. Here\u2019s to the next fifty years or so. I pulled him into my arms and kissed him. He laughed as he pulled me into our house. We had some rooms to break in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
