Person of Interest one shots, woohoo! I'll take any and all prompts, so send 'em in! Tragedy, AU, humor, torture, fluff, whatever!


"If you hadn't been so... enthusiastic... last night, we wouldn't be in this mess," Finch snapped as they walked. Mr. Reese had been at Detective Carter's house last night, under the pretense of a family dinner. Normally, he never would've gone, but John was worried that HR might have planted something in her apartment. Conveniently enough, Taylor went to a friend's house at the last minute, and Finch had never had any intention of showing up to begin with. Needless to say, dinner had been very awkward for the two.

"I couldn't help it, Finch!" Reese growled. "I was kind of distracted, and it's not like this was normal. I'll try not to do it again, but no promises. Besides, Carter didn't seem to mind too much."

Finch snorted. Detective Carter was the reason they were here in the first place. She had somehow managed to get Finch to purchase her what she wanted, using the reasoning that it was his employee who put them in this situation to begin with. Finch was only here to make sure that Reese got a suitable brand that would hold up under his abuse.

"Of course not, Mr. Reese. She just sent us out to do her shopping. I hope you realize that I'm not going to help you carry it. This is completely your mess." Finch pointed to a store a few buildings down as he limped purposefully. "You'll find what you need there. Finest quality, guaranteed not to break. Unless, of course, there's a repeat of last night. So please, for the sake of my sanity, be more conscious of your surroundings!"

"Whatever you say, Finch," Reese said with a smirk. He undoubtably found the entire ordeal quiet funny, especially the proper billionaire genius's reaction. Finch waited outside the store as Reese entered it confidently.

Several minutes later, Reese strolled back out, carrying a large box. He casually walked over to Finch, who ignored the recent purchase. "I trust there were no problems?" He asked stiffly.

"Nope," Reese said cheerfully. "One night stand, as requested. You know, it's not my fault there was a bug on the old one, and Carter should've expected me to search her house when she left to get Taylor."


Did I getcha? No? Oh well... please review anyway!
