Fiona hung up the phone and before she even turned around I could tell that there was something wrong I'm not sure if it was by the way her shoulders shrank or the way her head dropped but I knew there was a problem. She turned and looked at me with the face that only ever meant she was trying very hard to hold back tears. I took a step forward but she took a step back putting her arms out to stop me from coming any closer. "Fi what-"I began to saw setting down my cup of blueberry yoghurt on the counter next to her empty yoghurt container.

"Sean-Sean-Sean was shot to death in his apartment." She spilled out as if unable to control it and without making eye contact with me she turned and began to run towards the door but I was faster and grabbed her arm gently pulling her to me, hugging her close.

Shockingly she didn't resist, she just crumpled into me wrapping her own arms around me holding me like I was the last thing she had on earth. I didn't know what to do of course my brain was whirring with possible actions I could take but how do I know what was right and what was wrong in this scenario. I had never seen Fi so-so-vulnerable. I never thought I would hear Fi's name and that word in the same sentence ever in my life. So we simply stood there her hugging me tightly and my head resting on top of hers as she tried to keep control of the emotions that were coursing through her body. It was like she needed the reassurance that I was still here, my mind flashed back to when I thought she had died in the house fire.

The way I had held her to me and my shock and realization that my life was not over. It was strange really that I never knew how much I needed her until I had almost lost her. Things tended to be that way for me I was beginning to notice this more and more. Eventually I pulled myself away from her and she avoided looking at me, the usually I'm too strong to cry in front of you persona enveloped Fi and I knew I had to stop her form leaving. "Fi." I said grabbing her hand softly and as our eyes met she nodded as if understanding how I felt. She knew that I didn't want her to cry alone and that I wanted her to know I was here for her and I always would be.

Gently I led her over to the bed and she sat down while I quickly finished the rest of my yoghurt and dumped it in the garbage before coming back and sitting next to her. We sat in silence her head resting against my shoulder the tears spilling silently from her while I pretended not to notice. Finally the shaking stopped and she fell asleep like that, her head resting against my shoulders. Slowly, so I didn't wake her, I lifted her into my arms and set her down in a more comfortable position in the bed wrapping the comforter around her shoulders.

Leaving her sleeping in the bed I walked over to the balcony and opened the doors so I could stand out in the midnight air and let my own emotions flow freely through my body and let the unfairness of it all be taken out on the world. To me the worst part was knowing that Fiona could never go back to Ireland, she would not get to see her own brothers funeral. I shook my head at the thought and decided to talk to Sam as soon as it was a reasonable hour again. "Michael." I heard from inside the loft so I turned and walked back inside closing the door behind me.

I looked to see if Fiona was awake but she was still asleep her hand grappling blindly at where I usually lay. I quickly changed into some boxers and lay next to her letting her body adjust to my presence as soon as I lay in bed she seemed more relaxed; her body fitting in with the shape of mine; her hand grabbing my own and pulling it across her chest. I tried my best to fall asleep but I knew the next morning would be full of more emotions worse than this late night disaster. With that one my mind I finally drifted into a dark abyss just as the sun began it's wretched ascent into the morning sky.

So I wrote this in half an hour, I'm not sure how well written it is but it was some inspirations that I just needed to let out. I might add more Mike/Fi oneshots here or I might not.
