Great fic. I'm a pretty new Numb3rs fan--I just saw this episode, and I went "squee" too. LOL. Great job, I liked this a lot.

wah... i loved that episode too... specially the ending. the smile in don's face when magowan said that. it was something special, right there. aw...
btw, i love your little follow-up here. i'm right there with you when you say they are silly boys who wouldn't talk to each other if their life depended on it, which it is... hahahah! :))

Charlie was so preoccupied that he didn't notice Don curled up on the couch with a beer until he actually tried to set his backpack down on top of him, which was kind of ironic, considering what was preoccupying him.

"No," Don said, with elder-brotherly patience, like he was still a teenager and Charlie a socially inept little kid, "you can't put that here. I'm already here."

That made me laugh so hard!
