Cooper had a little bit of time before heading into work this morning so he decided to head to Breslin's house. The man had no idea how the hell he became so close to the Mayor but in all honesty, Cooper was happy about it. Los Angles was home he thought he found his people once living in New York City but he was wrong, Cooper found his people here in Los Angles. Once arriving to Breslins home the Detective had two cups of coffee in his hand along with a bag full of pastries, he found his way in and yelled "Breslin!! Your favorite person is here, I am here and I come bearing gifts. " Cooper said but then smiled once he saw her "I brought you coffee and some muffins. I don't know if you're a breakfast person because I know I'm not but these are for you." He held up the bag and opened them, placing the soft blueberry and raspberry muffins on the table. "Can't go wrong with something fruity."

All Cooper wanted was Genevieve. He was the only one that called her Genevieve, sometimes he'd call her Gigi but most of the time it was Genevieve. At least to him, and only him he would tell her. They have been seeing each other as more than friends but less than loves for quite some time now. Cooper wasn't exactly sure what the hell to call them at this point, but all Cooper knew was that Genevieve made him happy and that terrified him. Terrified him in a terrifying way but also in a good way, it had been a while since he felt this way about someone and Cooper knew he wasn't going to screw it up. As this past week was complete and total hell, the weekend was where he needed a break. The case was rough and though it was completed he didn't feel complete, not unless she was in his arms. Standing in the kitchen, Cooper formed a soft smile on his face and poured some more alcohol into their cups. Whiskey it was, at least for tonight. Usually he'd do beer but like he said before it was a rough week. "I think we would've been fine with beer, but you know mw when it's been a shitty week and rough case. I need something stronger. " Cooper said letting out a breath and then took a sip of his Whiskey "I missed you." He placed a soft kiss on her lips and pulled away for a moment "How was your week?"

It was late and they just finished a case after a tough week. He was exhausted and starving but all he wanted was greasy diner food so Sunset Grill it was. This was his go to spot in town, his favorite diner. In some odd sense it reminded him of home, it reminded him of the diner his parents owned. Sunset Grill was the perfect place around this time, it was quiet and no one was ever in there. This quaint little diner was the perfect spot for him to sit down and write in the journal that he always writes in before meeting Ambrosia there. Getting there a bit earlier than she had, he took out his pen and journal and began writing. He hasn't wrote in it all day like he normally does, as the waitress who was normally his came and placed his cup of coffee in front of him Cooper was in deep. He couldn't stop the pen from moving, the pen from going and his mind from going. It was a tough week and as Cooper was lost within his thoughts he almost didn't hear the bell ring, but then looked up and smiled once he saw the blonde standing there "Got here a bit earlier than you." Was all Cooper could say quietly and then took a deep breath "I ordered us coffee. Should be alcohol but they sadly don't sell that here."

{ jesse lee soffer, cis male, he & him } Is that COOPER HAWKINS? I heard the FORTY year old works as a HOMICIDE DETECTIVE. Which makes sense, seeing how they are COURAGEOUS, but can also be HOT HEADED. Do they know what’s going on in the city? I heard they are a CLEAN CIVILIAN. (brooke)

Cooper Elias Hawkins was born on October 31st back in 1984 to two loving and hardworking parents named Thomas and Heather (nee’ Cooke) Hawkins. The Hawkins clan was very well known and well liked in their town of Southport, North Carolina which is where they resided and where Cooper had grown up. Thomas & Heather are very successful owners of a diner that’s family owned. It’s beloved in their town. It was a small town and one of the hot spots for tourists to always go to.
Ryan Hawkins was the first of the Hawkins clan, then Ethan, then Annie, then Cooper and finally the baby Megan whom they all called Meg. Growing up Cooper idolized his older siblings, his brothers were his best friends and his sister Annie was someone whom he admired and aspired to be like. Meg was someone Cooper always took care of and adored and wished to protect with everything he had. He made a promise to himself to always watch out for Meg. The Hawkins siblings were well known and well liked by the town and could do no wrong.
They were one big happy family. They were fun and successful and everyone loved them. That was until one 4th of July Annie and Cooper had decided to take their family boat out onto the water alone, without their parents permission. Thomas and Heather were too busy at the diner to notice they were gone. He was eleven at the time and Annie was a little bit older. They drove it illegally, neither of them having a boating license but Annie really wanted to go and she always had a way of making Cooper follow in her footsteps. So he did, because all he cared about at the time was if Annie was happy.
They were having a good time and being safe until Annie decided to jump into the water after Cooper had told her and begged her not too. It was a while until Cooper had realized she hadn’t come up from the water. Panicked and scared, Cooper illegally drove the boat back to shore for some help. Once reaching his parents & some cops, they ruled it as a drowning accident. This nearly destroyed not only the family but the town. They always said that Annie held the family together and her death tore it apart.
His father was furious and devastated and wrongfully accused & blamed Cooper for Annie’s death even though he knew it wasn’t his fault. Growing up for Cooper wasn’t easy anymore. He wasn’t the happy go lucky kid he used to be. His father mentally, and sometimes would physically and emotionally abuse him . It went on for years, and his two older brothers followed in their fathers footsteps. Cooper closed himself off and didn’t talk to them until he actually needed too. The only ones who truly cared about him and were worried about his well being was his mother & his little sister Meg. He was thankful for them even if he didn’t show it often.
He kept to himself and got into reading and writing. Cooper found that he hid himself away in his room, and only had a couple of friends. He felt exiled in his own family and in his own town. Excelling in school Cooper kept his grade average high, he graduated high school with honors and had decided to move as far away from Southport as possible to get a fresh start. Choosing the city that never sleeps, Cooper was accepted into almost every New York City College but ended up choosing Brooklyn College. He majored in Criminal Justice, and minored in Florescence Science.
However that wasn’t what he wanted to do in life. After graduating college with honors again, he decided to go into the academy and become a police officer. A couple years of being a cop, he took the detectives exam and has been in the homicide unit ever since. He was in Brooklyn for a really long time, up until he fell in love with his partner who also happened to be his best friend which was rare for Cooper. Though he wouldn’t of wanted it any other way. It wasn’t good being together while being on the job, and they hid their relationship as best as they could. Though their Sargent soon found out, it placed a toll and a strain on their relationship. A beautiful blossoming one ended and it crushed him. The man had a ring and was ready to settle down and start a life with her. Though after the brake up, Cooper had decided to transfer to move to another state so that this way, he can officially start over once again. Another place where no one knew him. A place where no one knew his story or what had happened to him and his family as child. Or what had happened to him within his young, adulthood life. The one spot he chose was Los Angles, California.
He essentially transferred so that his ex girlfriend, the love of his life, Noora Freeman wouldn’t have too. Cooper was trying to not only protect her but protect her career as well. Their brake up was unexpected for him and it took him a while to get used to living here by himself. However Cooper realized that this is where he was meant to be, that this is where he was the happiest.
Though the death of his sister that still haunts him, Cooper has finally found peace within Los Angles. Sometimes when he can not sleep at night, he’ll sit out on his front porch and smoke cigars to make himself feel more at ease or write in a journal to Annie to make him feel at peace. Though he’s happy, he’s happy in Los Angles. A new state and a new town where no one knows who he is, where no one knew what he had to go through in order to get here.
“He was a fighter. He really was. I’ve watched people tear him down, and then ask for his help. And he would help them. He would spend hours helping them. I’ve always admired and hated that part of him.”

Just because a person has a gorgeous heart & gentle nature doesn't mean they're naive or fragile. You never know what kind of chaos it took for someone to become that calm. Don't mistake kindness for weakness...those ppl have survived the hardest battles—they're smart & strong af
