Hawkes found Larry staring out the window at the big flakes falling below. He gave the man a small smile, before walking closer.

“Everything alright, Doctor Fleinhart?” he asked, and Larry turned to him, nodding.

“Oh yes, fine. I’m just watching the snow,” he replied, before his eyes drifted off to the window again, “It’s quite relaxing, don’t you think Dr. Hawkes?”

“Yes, very,” Hawkes replied, letting his eyes wander to the window himself.

“It’s been so long since I’ve actually seen snow,” Larry began as he and Hawkes watched the large white flakes drift down past the window, “Not since I was back at Princeton.”

“Ah,” Hawkes nodded, “Back when the world was young and dinosaurs roamed the earth?” Larry shot him a look before he continued.

“You jest, Sheldon, but really,” he paused, then turned back to the window, resting his chin in his hand, “Sometimes it does feel like it was that long ago.”

Hawkes chuckled softly the two men fell into silence, big fat flakes drifting across the panes of the windows, dancing on the breeze as they tumbled their way to the street below.

“Gonna be a mess getting home tonight,” Hawkes commented, “The roads are going to be awful.”

“That is true,” Larry nodded, “Snow was not one of Mother Nature’s nicer inventions. I think it was part of the reason I transferred to Cal-Sci. Less hazardous roadways during the winter months. Especially with my current vehicle. I don’t think a thirty-one was meant to take conditions like this one.”

Thirty-one, Doctor?” Hawkes frowned, giving the man a look, and Larry nodded.

“Yes. It’s a beautiful vehicle. Near mint condition when I got it.”

“—Wow,” Sheldon commented at a loss for anything else, “You think they would all be in museums.”

“I happened to find one on the market, and chances to actually be able to own something like that are so rare. To think, Charles wanted me to change the condition of the car by actually putting seat belts in it.”

Hawkes nodded for a second, before turning back to him, “You actually drive it?”

“Of course,” Larry replied, “Why put the money into buying it if you’re going to just have it on display? I’d rather spend my hard earned money on the intrinsic value of using something, than just looking at it.”

Hawkes frowned slightly, “You have quite a valid point there, Professor.”

“The way I see it, we can’t take any of these material things with us to the great beyond, whatever it may be for whoever it is. Why buy something and wait for it to build up value, when there’s so much more pleasure in actually using it.”

Hawkes nodded again, giving a smile to the man next to him, “I guess I never thought of it that way.”

Larry nodded, falling into silence again as they just watched the snow, starting to see accumulation gather on the sides of the road, slush building in the streets. Larry then shook his head slowly.

“I have to tell you though, even though the sight of the fluffy white precipitation is quite relaxing, I can’t say I miss having to dig through it every winter. I think my back thanks me every year for moving to California.”

“I can imagine,” Hawkes replied, “I think I would miss it though. I always did love a white Christmas.”

“Well, I guess we all have our own preferences then, don’t we?” Larry replied, and Hawkes nodded slightly.

“I guess we do.”

Weird...I was just writing Numb3rs/CSi: NY

[identity profile] iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
really?

this was just sitting on my hard drive, and i couldn't think of anything else to tinker with, so i decided to go and actually finish it.

i seriously think they need to have a crossover, just so that larry and hawkes can have some kind of conversation.

[identity profile] and-dark-skies.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Yep. Stella/David. My other Numb3rs/NY otp.

I want to see a Larry and Sid conversation.

[identity profile] iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
larry and sid would be incredibly excellent.

and then i would love to see megan and hawkes interact as well. larry, sid, megan, and hawkes should all just sit down and have a massive conversation.

I would love to see Don and Mac interact. I think it would be fabulously angsty.

[identity profile] iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
angst would definitely be something for those two. i can see them bumping heads on how they want things to be done, but trying not to let it get too out of hand and blowing up at each other.

[identity profile] and-dark-skies.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
It would be a very restrained annoyance.

[identity profile] iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
yup. because they do have to be professional, after all.

heehee...that was my favorite line.

i'm glad you liked it.

This was awesome, simply awesome.

[identity profile] iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
heeheehee...thank you. i had so much fun writing it.

Very nice! I want a white Christmas! *grumbles about 50 degree weather*

I think that hawkes and Larry make interesting friends:)

[identity profile] iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
i know! stupid mother nature! it's winter! it's supposed to be cold!

hawkes and larry would have the best conversations. i want there to be a crossover just for that.

and for other reasons too...*coughs megan/flack coughs*...ahem.

[identity profile] makeitstopjamie.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Megan/Flack? Ohhh. I think jealous!Larry would be cute and there's also cuteness of Megan/Flack. Hee.

[identity profile] iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
heehee...jealous!larry would definitely be cute, and i just think megan/flack would be adorable.

...but then again, i think anyone/flack is adorable. so i might not be the best judge for this.

well I liked this fic a lot-- I ams o glad to read some good fic- and yeah- I LOVE larry/meagan together-- but i do think he would be unsure of himself and a touch jealous and it would b so sweet for meagan to remind him that it is Larry that she loves-- BESIDES a man and woman can have nteresting coversation and even be friends without it being romantic--- There are plenty of women for Flack without him stealing larry's chick-- teehee

[identity profile] iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com 2007-02-01 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
ummm...the two CSI:NY crossovers weren't connected. but that's cool!

i'm glad you liked them. they were fun for me to write and it always makes me happy to hear the someone enjoyed reading them. and yes, flack definitely has plenty of women to go around.
