A/N: This is a very short one-shot about the moment in 1x05 when Michelle did up Sean's tie because there aren't enough fanfics out there for the show :)

Small Moments

Sean didn't like to wear ties. They were tight, stiff and they reminded him of his days in the service. He avoided them as a rule but he liked the way it felt when Michelle put it on him, her long, lean fingers brushing against his neck causing the skin to tingle as she nimbly did it up, not too tight. Just the way he would have worn one before. Her eyes had risen to meet his, offering a silent apology from their sparkling blue depths. The spell had been broken only when Edgar spoke but the moment lingered between them, hanging suspended in the air. Some may say he had read too many romance novels but he held onto the hope that maybe, just maybe a happy ever after was possible after all.

Sean took off the tie as soon as he left the space next to her and he could feel her watching him as he walked out, slightly amused and slightly annoyed, just like it always was.

He didn't like to wear ties but he would happily wear one for her.

Some day.
