Let's Be Bad Guys



Detective Nate Fick's been chasing after Brad Colbert for more than six months now, ever since the plans for Intel's top secret new micro-processing chip went missing from their offices.

There's no proof that Colbert was involved in the heist, but Nate's no fool, and he knows all about Brad Colbert's ability to do a job without a trace. In fact, Nate knows Colbert's abilities better than anybody else in the precinct.

He knows that Colbert has very few weaknesses.

Brad Colbert is one of the top new media thieves in the nation, and while Alec Hardison would be Nate's first guess if the plans had just been duplicated from the private server, the fact that the written plans are physically missing from the offices leaves Nate with only one suspect.

Nate's not obsessed with Colbert, no matter what his partner Mike Wynn says.

It doesn't matter that Nate's got a copy of Colbert's jacket at his apartment, or that he has bits of unsolved computer cases taped up to his wall with a grainy year-old shot of Colbert right in the middle of them.

Nate knows Colbert's guilty even if there's no proof, because there is no better thief than Brad Colbert. He could probably steal Nate's shoes with Nate still in them. So, it should be no surprise that when Nate gets home after a too long shift with too many unhelpful witnesses, he's got a guest sitting at his kitchen table and eating his leftover Chinese food.

Brad just raises an eyebrow, slurping down the last of Nate's Lo Mein and then licking his lips. "You left me the combination lo mein and a spring roll. Should I blow you now, or do you want to play cops and robbers first?"

Nate crosses his arms. "You're making me look bad," he says. "The captain is starting to think I can't do my job."

Brad balls up his napkin, tosses it on the table, and stands up, stretching out his 6'4 frame. He's wearing one of Nate's tee shirts, and of course, it's too small for him. "I know you can do your job." Brad's grin is sharp.

"Evidence is starting to say otherwise."

"Aw," Brad teases. "Is Nate mad? If it helps, I'll even let you handcuff me to the bed because I've been bad."

Nate raises an eyebrow as Brad strides across the room to stand before him. "How many times have I told you about stealing in my part of town? There are 49 other states for you commit crime!"

Brad shrugs. "I like it here."

Nate is not amused. "Are you feeling neglected, is that it?"

Brad licks his lips, and Nate's pulse quickens. "If I say yes, then can we fuck?"

Nate sucks in his cheeks. "Everybody else has a regular boyfriend, why did I have to choose the criminal?"

Brad's fingers tangle in Nate's belt loops, pulling him forward. "I asked you to join my life of crime," Brad says. "The hours and pay are better than anything the city is offering you. Plus, I give time off for good head. You should think about it."

Nate just rolls his eyes, but Brad's eyes narrow as though he knows something that Nate doesn't. Or just won't say.

They both know Nate's thought about it before, he just hates admitting defeat.

Rahm Rules

off topic..in case you hadn't seen this one:

Re: Rahm Rules

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Rahm has his own knitting circle. Oh, Rahm. How so awesome?

[kristories.livejournal.com]

Oh my god *loves*

I have to tell you that the other day I was watching 24 and thought to myself, that the Whitehouse security guy could be Brad's cousin and then my brain kind of went huh, so if Nate's could be president and Brad could be head of the personal security detail for the president and hackthis should write it.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

At this point, if there is an AU idea, sparky77 and I have discussed or e-mailed about it. For that particular idea we had Nate working for Rahm Emanuel and Brad working for the Secret Service, and Rahm kind of flirting with Nate, in that "at least you're not a completel moron way" and Brad threatening to break his legs.

So, um, yes. Definitely been considered.

AHAHAHA! You got Leverage in there! ::dies

::snorts::

"Aw," Brad teases. "Is Nate mad? If it helps I'll even let you handcuff me, because I've been bad."

Omg, Brad teasing is the BEST SHIT EVER!

Brad shrugs. "I like it here."

I'll BET he does.

So much love! You win.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Omg, Brad teasing is the BEST SHIT EVER!

Sometimes Nate pretends to be angry just because of how happy Brad gets when he teases him. And by happy, Nate means hot. Brad smirking at him, and the curl to the left corner of his mouth, the way his eyes go bright when he thinks he's got a chance to mock Nate. It's a game they play, one that tends to end with Nate's cock in Brad's mouth, so really, it's no hardship for Nate. Not like knowing if it came down to arresting Brad and putting him away, or Nate's job -- he would probably have to think very hard about his choice.

[elzed.livejournal.com]

Oh, Brad!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I know.

[redheadaholic.livejournal.com]

and while Alec Hardison would be Nate's first guess if the plans had just been duplicated from the private server,

Hardison! YEAH! We need a GK/Leverage crossover AU! (*poke* *poke*)

Should I blow you now, or do you want to play cops and robbers first?"

Holy, GUH! I want to hump just the very idea of Nate & Brad playing cops and robbers.

As always, brilliant.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Hardison! YEAH! We need a GK/Leverage crossover AU! (*poke* *poke*)

You just got one! What?


Holy, GUH! I want to hump just the very idea of Nate & Brad playing cops and robbers.

Oh my god! The frisking!

"I don't remember this being part of the pat down. Is your hand supposed to be -- fuck -- there?"

"Shut up, and face forward."

*pause*

"Brad?"

"I like it when you order me around."

"Did I tell you to shut up? On your knees."

"Does you reading me my rights involve me sucking your cock?"

"It could."

"On my knees it is."

[green-postit.livejournal.com]

Leverage and Generation Kill? This story has more win that the current White House.

I really hope there's more!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I dunno about all that, I kind of thing the current White House could explode from awesome and hotass. Thank God sparky77 never made me work on that Nate and Brad do the White House thing. We had Nate as one of Rahm's staff and Brad working for the Secret Service. Maybe I will revist that idea.

[soul_cake_duck]

Ahahaha, that first line. I read it and laughed a lot.

Also, damn you and your sneaky fandom pimping ways. I've spent all my free time the last couple of days watching Generation Kill - I dont even know how this happened! One minute I'm studying, the next thing I'm devouring all the Brad/Nate I can find...

So, that's what that new pack of baby wipes was for! Awesome! Some fandoms give toasters, we give practical items.

[askmehow.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeeeeeee! This really could not be more awesome if it tried. ♥

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

:D

[sarkastic.livejournal.com]

Hee, surprise Leverage! This is awesome. Nate should really just give in and join Brad in his illicit ways.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Nate should really just give in and join Brad in his illicit ways.

I could not agree more.

[iwwfw.livejournal.com]

You are a shiny, pretty thing. The Leverage reference? Gold star!

*feeds your muse* Grow baby, grow.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

*feeds your muse* Grow baby, grow.

*eyes muse that is bigger than the house*

Uh huh. So, this is your fault, is it?

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

Words cannot adequately express how much I love you at this moment... IT IS A WHOLE LOT!!!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Do you see these people over here, haranguing me about things like the GK US AU or that one story we'd drabbled where Brad works for the Secret Service and Nate works for Rahm. That last one's a good idea. Maybe after the HS AU. And the Merlin thing.

I need a dictaphone and a secretary.

[dragondie.livejournal.com]

"Aw," Brad teases. "Is Nate mad? If it helps, I'll even let you handcuff me to the bed because I've been bad."

-You most certainly have. ;)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Brad is always bad; it's why we Nate loves him.

[veryshortlist.livejournal.com]

Was that an intentional Firefly reference in the title?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

LOL. It was unintentionally. I didn't realize I'd done it until five hours later.

[cityatsea.livejournal.com]

ajsdlfasd LAUGHING SO HARD; this is amazing~ and so, so cute. XD

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

[thorne-scratch.livejournal.com]

I would like some GK fic, I was sitting and thinking idly to myself. And suddenly, there was GK fic! Like magic! Awesome.

He's wearing one of Nate's tee shirts, and of course, it's too small for him.

Uhnn. Excuse me for going a bit dreamy and slackjawed there for a moment.

"Everybody else has a regular boyfriend, why did I have to choose the criminal?"

Hee!

"I asked you to join my life of crime," Brad says. "The hours and pay are better than anything the city is offering you. Plus, I give time off for good head. You should think about it."

Ask about the benefits package, Nate! Seriously, in this economy! Anyway, so awesome. (Every new AU gives me hope for other AUs. Even if it's a slim chance.)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Jesus, are you spying on my e-mail? I had coffee yesterday morning (which I never do) and it brought two ideas to the forefront of my head pretty immediately. One was a Merlin reincarnation story -- where are you with Merlin, have you watch it? You should watch it. You like pretty, obtuse young men, I know about the Swim!Slash, so uh, yeah, watch that. Anyway, one was Merlin and the other was that story, yes, that one. I think I've figured a way to bring it down from 7000 pages, to like 40. So, uh, yeah. I will expect a pony and my own Brad when it gets posted. Just saying.

[alhazred.livejournal.com]

Nate's not obsessed with Colbert, no matter what his partner Mike Wynn says.

Had me right here. I <3 Gunny Wynn whenever he shows up, especially at the drop of a hat.

And insert a repeat of the squee everyone's beaten me too right here. And here I only imagined Brad idolizing Solid Snake instead of actually being a master sneaky-sneak. His brand of wit is rather well-suited to it.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you liked it :)

[novalinedy.livejournal.com]

Great!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[storm-petrel.livejournal.com]

So now I'm thinking about Brad Colbert in Nate Fick's too-small t-shirt. There goes today's productivity :)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

It's okay, productivity is overrated anyway. :)

It's not just that the shirt is too small, it's where it's too small that always causes Nate's problems, specifically at the shoulders, where Nate can see every cotton fibre streching to cover Brad's back and chest, and at the hem, which is at least two inches north of the waistband of Brad's jeans. It's just -- it's mean.

Nate is not a small man. He's 6'2, but he's built lean. Mike's wife calls him wiry. Brad on the other hand, Brad is 6'4 of lean muscle. "You're stretching out my clothes again," Nate complains.

Brad stretches his arms over his head. "I needed something clean."

He knows Nate is staring at his exposed swath of stomach. And Nate knows Brad knows, because when he looks back up, Brad got that grin on his face. The one that says, "If you don't remove your own clothes, I will do it for you, and you will have to replace them all."

[randomeliza.livejournal.com]

How can you possibly fit that much awesome into that few amount of words? It should be impossible, and yet you did it. I am in awe. *flail*

Also now all I can think of is the giant man-crush Hardison must have on Brad. And also the fights I'm sure Eliot and Brad have gotten into. And possibly how they liberated Croatia together that one time.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

How can you possibly fit that much awesome into that few amount of words? It should be impossible, and yet you did it. I am in awe. *flail*

I wish I could take credit here, but it's not me, it's them, they just inspire me to new heights of anything and everything. Also, I am laughing at the idea of Hardison trying to impress Brad with his skills and Eliot rolling up and being like, "You, knock it off," and Hardison is all "I didn't even do anything" any Eliot's like "Yeah, but you're thinking about it, I know how you are" and Hardison is all "Oh, how am I then?" And then they argue and there is sexxor. JESUS. The Brad and Nate effect, effects everyone around them, everything ends with sex.

[bluflamingo.livejournal.com]

"Everybody else has a regular boyfriend, why did I have to choose the criminal?"

Because he's pretty?! I love that they have rules about where Brad can steal things, and that, although Nate knows him well enough to know he did it, Brad's just that good at not getting caught.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Brad's special like that, at least that's what he tells Nate after he makes Nate come his brains out, and by then Nate's too tired to protest.

[hypertwink.livejournal.com]

You should write like the prequel to this. =)

[bijoux.livejournal.com]

After you linked the fanart, I was reminded that I forgot to comment on this story when I read it.

I really enjoyed this AU you created (in fact, I kind of think more fic should be written in this AU *prods*... but it's also kind of perfect as it is :D).

Brad's fingers tangle in Nate's belt loops, pulling him forward. "I asked you to join my life of crime," Brad says. "The hours and pay are better than anything the city is offering you. Plus, I give time off for good head. You should think about it."

Holy batman, criminal Brad is one of the sexiest incarnations yet. (As someone else above me commented, a prequel would be great. I mean, how did they meet? Who seduced whom? I'm guessing Brad seduced Nate, but it could've been the other way around. We'll never know... :D)

[norah.livejournal.com]

AWESOME.

[mikeyrhcp.livejournal.com]

This right here? FUCKING AWESOME MAN! ;D
