One minute Hutch was teasing Starsky, and the next minute he found himself looking up at him from a very precarious position. He was stunned by the suddenness and could only stare dumbly at his partner. Starsky himself looked rather shocked by what he had done. They stared at each other, and Hutch could feel the warmth and strength of Starsky's arms spreading through his body. He didn't know where the impulse came from, but suddenly he wanted to kiss his best friend. Even as he thought this, Starsky's mouth sought his out. The first touch of lips was electric. Hutch brought his arms up around Starsky's neck as he opened his mouth to deepen the kiss. All thought fled his mind... even the fact that they were in Dobey's office! He felt himself being lowered gently to the floor, and Starsky following him down without breaking the kiss. They were lying on the floor of Dobey's office, trying to get closer to each other. Hands fumbled at fastenings, and clothing was roughly pushed away. Soon they were both thrusting against each other, bared cocks sliding against heated skin. It was too powerful to last long, and too soon they both toppled over into the abyss.

Hutch could feel semen cooling on his body, and shifted slightly. Strong arms tightened around him, and he stopped wriggling. It was then he realized where they were.
"Starsk..."
"Yeah Babe?"
"Dobey could be back any moment..."
He saw the panic on Starsky's face as he remembered where he was.
"We'd better clean up quick, before anyone else sees us," Hutch continued.

They hurriedly wiped each other down with Hutch's handkerchief, and tidied up their clothes. Hutch was just fastening his jeans, when they heard Dobey outside the door. They both shared horrified looks at how close they had come to being caught, and then realized that the room was still not right. The desk had been moved earlier so that they could dance in there. Dobey was going to kill them!

The door opened far enough for Dobey's head to poke through. He took one look at the room and started yelling.
"Starsky... Hutch... what the hell are you doing?"
"We were just..." Starsky started to answer.
"Don't bother," Dobey cut in. "I really don't think I need to know. I will be back in five minutes, and I expect everything to be back to normal, and you two gone. Is that understood?"
"Yes sir," they both answered at once.

As soon as Captain Dobey was gone, they turned back to each other.
"Shit...that was close," Hutch commented. He looked up to see Starsky eyeing him. "Oh no you don't," Hutch got in, "that is what got us into trouble in the first place!"
Starsky just looked at him with those big blue eyes, and Hutch could feel himself giving in.
"No Starsky... we have to put the desk back first. After that we can go somewhere to talk, okay?"
"Okay... let's do this quickly then."

They both quickly set the room back the way it had been, and then almost ran out of the station. The trip back to Starsky's place was over quickly. Soon both men found themselves facing each other in the living room. Hutch was starting to feel awkward and didn't know what to do.
"Why did you kiss me Starsk?" Hutch asked tentatively.
"I really don't know why I did it then, but I have been thinking about it for a while." At Hutch's shocked look, Starsky continued. "You have been my best friend all this time, but lately I began to notice just how sexy you are. I mean I always knew you were good-looking, but suddenly it started to affect me differently. At first I tried to deny it, but then I finally admitted to myself that I was very attracted to you. It was then that I realized that instead of just loving you, I was *in* love with you..." Starsky trailed off at the end and he dropped his eyes. He couldn't bring himself to look at Hutch after having bared his soul so completely. He was scared that Hutch would not feel the same way, even after what had happened in Dobey's office.

Hutch was shocked at this confession, but at the same time, it felt right. He could see the fear in Starsky, and knew that it was up to him to reassure his best friend.
"I had never thought about us in that way until just before you kissed me in the office. It surprised the hell out of me, but at the same time it felt so right. I keep thinking that I should be freaking out, but I'm not. If it had been anyone else, I suppose I would be, but because it is you, I know you would never hurt me. I think we have been working our way towards this for a long time. When you said you loved me, I suddenly knew why it felt so right. I love you too Starsky." Hutch stepped towards Starsky and lifted his chin until their eyes met. "I mean it Starsk," Hutch said softly but firmly. He watched as the words sunk in, and was rewarded with a dazzling smile. He then pulled Starsky to him before kissing him gently.
//I love you Starsky. I didn't know it until now, but I always have. I have always preferred your company to anyone else's, but I still didn't twig. You're the only person I trust completely with everything... my life, my heart, and my soul are all yours.//
Both men poured all of their love into the kiss... still communicating even though nothing was spoken. When they finally broke for air, they held each other tight.
"How come you're taking this so well Hutch?" Starsky asked in wonder.
"I don't know, but everything about our relationship has always felt right. Right from our first meeting at the academy. I think the only thing that could freak me out, would be if you left me."
"Never going to happen Babe," Starsky vowed. "You are stuck with me for ever."
"Good," Hutch replied before kissing Starsky again. It felt so good being held by him. He felt like pinching himself to see if he was really awake. A sharp pinch caused him to break away from the kiss suddenly.
"Ouch... what did you do that for?" Hutch demanded.
Starsky smiled brightly before answering.
"Just to prove that you're not dreaming!" Hutch wasn't really surprised by that as they had always been able to read each others minds. More proof that they were meant to be together.
"Want me to kiss it better?" Starsky asked before leaning down to kiss the spot he had pinched. Hutch pulled him back up and they kissed again. He knew that this was forever. There would be difficulties in the future, but they would be able to face anything as long as they were together. Love really can conquer all!
