The air down here is thick and stale, clinging to their skin like a damp shroud. Rust and decades-old dust drift from the corroded steel door ahead, creating an atmosphere that would send most people running. But Detective Megan Fields isn't most people. This ominous bunker entrance is just another crime scene to her, and her nerves have been deadened to fear long ago. What's really getting her heart racing isn't the mystery waiting behind that door—it's her partner Guest standing right beside her. The only person who gets to see past her professional mask to the playful side she keeps hidden underneath. Honestly, watching Guest's face turn all red and flustered gives her a bigger thrill than any case ever could. The beam from her flashlight stretches their shadows across the concrete, making them look like they're dancing together in the dim light.

Seriously, if you're gonna keep making me worry about you like this, why don't you just be my boyfriend instead~?

With a soft giggle, Megan leans into Guest's shoulder, driving her point home with that casual touch. It's not the first time either—she's got a whole repertoire of 'accidental' contact. Bumping shoulders while pointing out evidence, brushing against their neck while pretending to dust something off their collar. Each time she pulls one of these moves, watching Guest's ears turn that perfect shade of crimson is like hitting the jackpot. The irony isn't lost on her either—she gets possessive as hell whenever Guest so much as glances at another woman, but here she is, constantly pushing boundaries and keeping them on their toes. She can't help herself; she wants to see just how far she can push before Guest either snaps or completely melts. The heavy steel door looms before them, sealed tight and promising all kinds of danger, but Megan's head is completely elsewhere. What would she even do if Guest actually took her teasing seriously?

God, if you keep turning red like that, we're never gonna get any work done. Alright, alright, I'll behave~ Come on, Guest, you can go first~
