Don't worry, I don't mind in the slightest. (and thank you for the nice compliment!) Why can I not write these people happily?! I'm sorry, this went a bit wonky. *covers face*
Five Times Gene Hunt Was Thoroughly Confused.
1) When Sam tells him about the accusation about Woolf, Gene laughs it off and beats up the accuser, like normal, but then, drinking in the pub and seeing Sam sullen and separate from the group, he doesn't like the twinge of doubt in the back of his mind. Confusion isn't normal for him.
2) Afterwards, after Woolf had gone, Sam keeps looking at Gene when he thinks Gene can't see and it's not like Gene's blind. He notices, each and every time, and he doesn't understand why.
3) A few weeks later, in the morning, slightly hung-over, Gene sees the top drawer to his filing cabinet isn't shut properly: he knows he closed it, and locked it, but all the files are in the order he left them and even when he checks that file, that certain file, there's nothing amiss and he thinks, Sam. But then, when he next sees Sam, Gene can't quite bring himself to ask, and it's not like him to shy away from anything and everything is too confusing now.
4) It only gets worse, when it's late and he's still working and Sam comes into his office. His eyes are red. Gene stands up, comes around the desk, stands in front of Sam, folds his arms. Sam grabs him, too quickly for instinct to take over, and Gene is suddenly being kissed by his D.I. and damn it all if he doesn't shove him away. For the sake of appearance, he socks him in the mouth after a minute or two of silence and downcast gazes, and the look in Sam's eyes as he walks out the door is baffling to Gene and a little bit unsettling.
5) The most confused Gene has ever been is the day after that, the day Sam doesn't show up for work. He's not at home. He's not in the pub. He isn't anywhere that Gene looks, and when there's no sign of him the day after that, Gene heads a search party and lets forensics stay in Sam's flat for as long as they bloody like. Nobody finds anything, nothing about Sam, and Gene never expected to feel this...bare without the strange, thin man from Hyde.
Okay, so that kind of tailed off into a thing rather than a list, and it was emo and a bit bad, but...I'll try to do something more cheerful, if you like?
