info

Grant Middleton at your service. I'm a proud cop for the SCPD and I'm sure I'll love keeping this place safe. I'm a new oldie, of sorts. The place really hasn't changed much.

A Not-Date Date {Val}

After some frustration with work, Grant's finally able to take up Val on that date she won so long ago. He feels crappy it's taken this long, but it turns out Val has been swamped at her flower shop as well. He texted her the middle of last week, letting her know to wear something comfortable that she won't mind walking around in, and that's he'll pick her up Monday morning. "We're leaving Siren Cove!" he hinted.

Dressing in some of his more casual clothes, Grant makes sure not to wear anything he'd shed a tear over or have to tell Alex if it were ruined. She's been testy lately and he'd honestly fear for his life he he ruined her favourite pair of shoes of his. He tucks a few things away in the trunk of his car before heading over to pick up Val. With a bit of a nervous sigh, he knocks on the door to the Jung residence.

Grant stares at Val a bit. Maybe it's because he's an only child, but he really doesn't understand how Val and Riley can be so close without wanting to murder each other. "It's good you two have each other."

He turns around and lowers himself to sit under the tree, letting out a groan as he stretches his long legs.

Val glances down at him with a smirk. "Tired already, old man?" she taunts, sliding down next to him. "There's a lot more for us to look at, you know... And I'm not gonna give up until I've seen everything."

"I'm sore, not tired, thank you very much," he corrects. "I've been running around everywhere lately."

"My brain though? That's tired. How do you keep all these information in that tiny head of yours?"

"Ew. Why would you do that?" she asks, baffled by what goes on in his head.

Val shrugs, blossoming a flower between them just to vent some magic. It was beginning to feel a little overwhelming, but in a good way. "I mean, I love this stuff. Its a part of me. Plants think I am a plant," she explains, stroking the flower's petals. "So this information sticks. I'm awful with other things, but plants are easy."

"Because I want to," he tsks. "Helps reduce stress."

He nods at that, watching the flower bloom. "I guess that'd be like me learning all the police codes. Super dull and uninteresting to you."

"Gross. Plants reduce my stress, thanks," she tuts right back, shaking her head at his silliness.

Val chuckles, giving him a mischievous grin. "I don't even care for the police stuff I do know," she points out, clearly teasing him.

"I still have that one plant and I gotta say, sometimes it stresses me out when other people try to water him at work."

"Why does it feel like you actually mean "I don't even care for the police stuff or cops I do know?""

"You still have that? Even though the bet is over?" Val asks, tilting her head curiously. "And of course that would stress you out. Other people don't know how much water it requires!"

She leans her head back against the bark of the tree, pulling a face. "I dunno. I've gotten used to some of the cops, I guess. They're not all bad..."

"Um, duh, we're bros." He gives her a smart-ass look. "I take him home after work every day. And you're not allowed to call me a nerd for that, you freaking sleep with vines."

"Well well well," he smiles, looking up at the branches of the tree. "Looks like the Jung tides have turned."

'Hey! There was no nerd-calling! I was just surprised, is all. I didn't think you'd want to keep it after the bet was over, let alone bond with it," she scoffs.

Letting out a disgruntled noise, Val socks him in the arm, glaring. "You keep that to yourself, smart-ass."

"Excuse you, I'm a very easy person to bond with. I have abandonment issues and that little plant will never leave me," he teases.

He makes a face and rubs his arm where she hits him. Jesus, she has an arm on her. "No, I'm posting it all over the precinct."

"Uh huh. As long as you keep it happy and alive, I will encourage yo," she smirks. "Even if you're a big fat liar."

Val's frown deepens exponentially. "I will turn you into fertilizer for this garden," she threatens, leaning in to glare him down.

"Wow, name-calling already. And I did something really nice for you!"

Grant smirks. "You're not as scary as you think you are."

"Well, don't be a big fat liar and I won't have to call you one!" she says, giving him a self-satisfied look. "I only tell the truth, you know."

Val reaches over, punching him in the arm again. "I am too!"
