Note: Because Jared/Breckin is always chewing gum.
«You smell like strawberries.» Peter commented as he bent over Jared’s shoulder to take a look at his computer screen.
«New gum.» Jared said.
«You smell like strawberries.» Peter commented while he bent over Jared’s shoulder to take a look at his computer screen.
«New gum.» Jared said and turned his head towards Peter and blews some air in his face, grinning when Peter shut his eyes before glaring at him.
Peter looked puzzled for a second, he knew Jared had a thing for gum. The guy was always chewing it wherever they went; in court, at the office, at home, but for as long as he’d known him it had always been sweet peppermint, always. He even remembered one time Jared had almost bit his head off for buying him a pack of lemon flavor at the gas station.
«Huh» he just said as Jared blew a bubble and let it pop before sticking his tounge out and getting the remaining gum of his lips and started chewing again.
Peter knew he was staring at his mouth as Jared continued to explain his genius plan for getting the settlement Rachel had wanted.
Peter also knew he was screwed when he found himself leaning in closer to Jared’s mouth whenever he had the oppurtunity throughout the day.

«We really need to get one of those trampolines, man.» Jared said with a huge grin as they stood in the elevator on their way up to the office.
*pop*
«Think we can fit one on the deck?» Jared asked as turned his head and looked up at Peter, who was gazing at him, a confused look on his face. «You okay, man?»
«Huh?» Peter asked and then shook his head and pinched the bridge of his nose «Yeah, sorry, a trampoline sounds great.»
«Yeah, right.» Jared said, still giving Peter a questioning look, but the elevator dinged and they got out and he didn’t think about if for the rest of the day.

«Having a beach house is awesome, we should have burned down the house ages ago.»
«I miss all of our stuff though.» Peter answered as he placed his beer on the table at the deck and joined Jared at admiring the sunset.
«We can get new stuff.» Jared said as he took a pack of gum out of his pocket and popped it into his mouth.
Peter frowned as he leaned in casually and followed the movement of Jared’s chewing with his eyes.
«Dude, seriously!»
«What?» Peter said on reflex, almost biting his own tounge. «What?»
«You’ve been staring at me all day, do I have something on my face?» Jared said and started touching his cheek.
«No, no…» Peter said and waved him off «I haven’t been staring…»
«You’ve been acting weird all week, I swear i’ve caught you sniffing me.»
«Not funny, Jare.» Peter said nervously and scratched the back off his neck.
Jared crossed his arms and glared at him «You can’t fool me, dude, so what’s up?»
Peter just sighed and gave one last look at the view before looking back at Jared «Did you change your gum again?»
Jared just stared at him for a second before smiling «Yeah, i changed back to peppermint.»
«Oh.» Peter said.
They were silent for a moment except for Jared’s chewing and occasional bubble popping.
«Disappointed?» Jared asked with a grin, taking a step closer to Peter.
«Eeh.» Was all Peter was able to say as he met Jared’s eyes. Whenever they did this, whenever they started flirting or when they went even further, it was usually Peter that initiated it and Jared had smiled and went along with it, but they were also usually drunk.
«No problem, Peter.» Jared said as he popped one last bubble, and Peter could swear he could feel it on his neck.
Jared grinned as he grabbed his beer and walked back inside.

«Hey, Peter, take a look at this.» Jared said as he walked over to where Peter was sitting at the kitchen counter and slapped some papers in front of him. «ATM footage.»
«Good news or bad news?» Peter asked as he started looking through the papers.
«Good.» Jared answered as he stood behind Peter, and Peter could swear he could feel Jared’s smile on the side of his neck when he stopped reading.
«Your gum.»
«Yeah, missed the taste.» Jared said casually, and this time it was Peter’s time to grin.
«Really?»
«Yeah.» Jared answered and matched Peter’s grin when the other man turned his head towards him. «Wanna try?»
Peter almost laughed «You’re one cheeky bastard, you know that?»
«I’m not completly blind, Peter.» Jared said «I’m out of gum, though.»
«Guess i’ll have to find another way of trying it then.»
Jared laughed «Smooth.»
«You started it.»
Jared just grinned wider and met Peter’s lips in a soft kiss. Peter hummed and prodded at Jared’s lips with his tounge until Jared opened up and let Peter’s tounge slide in.
Jared smiled into the kiss and let his arms fall around Peter’s neck.
«Hey guys, i’ve got the - for god’s sake, are you gonna do it right here?» Carmen said as she covered her eyes.
They broke apart and actually had to breathe for a second before being able to answer the question. «Maybe, what do you think?» Jared asked, and Peter tilted his head to the side and eyed the counter suggestivly.
«Oh, god.» Carmen said «You do realize you have court in 30 minutes right?»
Jared just grinned at her.
«You know what, i’m just gonna leave the files here…» She said and left some papers on the counter «And leave.» And with that, she was out the door.
«You taste like strawberries.» Peter said against the side of Jared’s cheek, Jared just laughed.
«So do you now, i bet, did you take my gum?»
Peter blew a bubble and popped it.
«Let’s try to get out of the office early tonight.»
«Sounds like a plan.»
