Travis/Wes, temporary hearing loss + confession, possible tw: deaf abuse

[anonymous]

Wes gets temporarily deafened by an explosion while chasing a criminal- he's all banged up, but the doctor says his eardrums are okay and he'll likely recover his hearing in a few days.
Travis takes the opportunity to snark at him while Wes can't hear him, which just isn't much fun, since Wes can't hear him to snark back... and then Travis starts saying things he ordinarily wouldn't have.

e.g.

Travis: I know you want me, you can't deny it.

Wes: ... *doesn't let on his hearing is back since last time he yawned* you're an asshole.

Travis: *mutters* and I want you but I'd never admit it.

Partial Fill: Travis/Wes, temporary hearing loss + confession, possible tw: deaf abuse

Travis makes a face at Wes during a stake-out. wrinkles his nose. "god you're adorable when you're focused." Wes holds in a twitch, a retort of "I'm not ador- you think I'm adorable?" Instead he blinks and focuses his stare down the barrel of his pistol.
Travis doesn't hear the rustling behind them- and the jig is up. Wes can't let his partner get hurt just for the sake of continuing this ruse. He grabs Travis by the back of the head and pushes him forward and down, just in time to dodge a swung bat which rustles the leaves above them as it swishes through the air.

gonna leave it at that as a sort of extension of the prompt :B

I really, really adore this prompt. Someone fill this!

Partial Fill 2: Travis/Wes, temporary hearing loss + confession, possible tw: deaf abuse

Different Anon!writer. An earlier scene perhaps?

"I left your mug in the break area sink unwashed," Travis said, keeping his face straight and serious. Wes was staring intently at his lips trying to decode it, thinking it pertained to the case at hand. The third time he repeated after prompted, Travis sighed and leaned back, staring at the ceiling.

It just wasn't as fun as the last six times - despite the fact Wes kept falling for it. Mind you, they were working on a case and most of what he had been saying was important.

Travis looked back at Wes, who was frowning and mouthing words still trying to figure out what he said earlier. Standing, Travis clapped him on the shoulder as he passed. "I love how determined you are," he muttered.

This is adorable. I'd love a longer fill for this prompt, but these little snippets are fun. ♥

OP IS CACKLING AFTER WATCHING 1x05.

CACKLING, I SAY.

I DID NOT KNOW THAT WOULD HAPPEN.

The episode was so indulgent of our fanfic. I cackled when I saw that, too, as well as Wes being jealous of Travis's big family and a couple other things. XDD

Common Law writers are definitely reading fan fiction or at least the prompts. I totally understand though, writers block is real Lol
