Summary: When Hyde held Jackie everything was okay. JackieHyde drabble
In My Arms
Tough was something Steven Hyde did very well. He was cold, heartless, and no one could get to him. Except Jackie Burkheart.
Jackie was the sole opposite of him. Shiny, happy, bubbly, bitchy, and plain vengeful. The whole group called her the devil and the sad thing was that it was the truth. You never make Jackie angry. Well, not without living to tell about it.
Hyde didn't know why he was attracted to the rich girl. It sounded like a story book fairy tale. "Real true love." Like their friends Donna and Eric.
It couldn't be love, though. Just lust. Something that was just to pass the time; the loneliness in both of them. Hyde had to convince himself. When everyone found out it was only a matter of time until they broke up, but then why did he want to hold onto her so much?
Jackie was left alone. Her mother flew off and her dad in jail. Steven felt like the girl was a kindred spirit. Neither had parents that cared. Their parents just liked to control. He knew it was a stupid reason to hold onto her more. Probably because she didn't tell anyone, except for him was the reason Hyde felt important.
Hyde knew what it was like to be lonely, so soon Jackie was slipping into the basement to fall asleep in his arms. With the smaller girl asleep he finally felt not so much alone anymore. He had someone that was his. Jackie was all his.
The devil called him by his first name. Fluttering her eyelashes so seductively. "Steven, I love you."
Steven felt so afraid. Love. Though so strong could break someone so easily. Hyde wanted to run away or screw it up because he knew Jackie's love was real. What would he do if it went farther.
The fear never got far. With the girl of many mens dreams in his arms, snoring slightly Hyde didn't want to let go. Steven wouldn't let go. That one comfort Jackie gave him when she wasn't raving and ranting or flirting with Kelso to show the idiot what he was missing. A kindred spirit. One of his own. Hyde understood her. Jackie understood him. It was enough.
"I love you too, Jackie. I'm just not ready to tell you that yet." Steven whispered to his love's sleeping form.
Settling down he felt warm inside and out. Content. If all Hyde needed to do was hold Jackie in his arms to feel the completeness that he always wanted he really should of got with her earlier. She was everything to him now.
The End.
