Why this must be read: It’s all about Colby adjusting to being in L.A., working with the FBI, and to Charlie (and the realization that they’ve been dating without Colby figuring it out). *g* Great Colby POV and some nice backstory.

"Yeah? Well, this isn't teaching, not the kind with chalkboards and formulas and symbols. This is...this is more like conversations with people who just don't know they have the spirit of a mathematician yet."

Colby grins. "Is that what it is?"

"I think so." Charlie hops up on the table and smiles almost shyly. "So, thanks for coming—I didn't think you would. Dad and Don come sometimes, but I think they do it because they think they have to, not because they get anything out of it. But I was watching you, and you, you seemed to enjoy it, right?"

"Yeah, I did. I've never really been a math person, but the way you explain things, it's cool. It makes sense."

"Good," Charlie says, with more than a little satisfaction. "It's supposed to."

"Plus, the way you taught us to cheat at tic tac toe—"

"Okay first," Charlie says, looking slightly offended, "that was not cheating, that was legitimate probability theory and second—"

Colby just laughs.

Sounds like it would be a fun fic. Sadly, it's locked. *is sad*
