I know it is short, but it just popped into my mind, and i didn't feel like ruining it with taking it any further. It has no specific setting, still after season 4 would be a timeline, if you have watched it so far! Also, listen to Christina Perri's song Arms while reading!
It had all started out so nice and comfortable, but that all ended rapidly after that one night outside Kate's apartment.
Rick starts pulling away from the kiss, folding his hand around hers. "I love you, Kate," he says, their lips only inches apart. Kate feels herself pulling slightly away. She looks into his eyes, searching for something to tell her what to do next. He looks worried back at her. Kate lets go of his hand, and starts backing off. Before she knows what she is doing, she is back in his arms, lips connected. A tear runs down her cheek and Rick dries it off with his thumb and let his thumb linger on her skin.
When she is finally realizing what she is doing, she pulls back again and runs into her apartment. She slides down along the now closed door, tears running down her cheek, inside her mind a massive fight is taking place. Why couldn't she just confess to what they both knew was there? Still, she wouldn't let him see what damaged goods she really was. He thought he knew how bad it was, but what he thought he knew, was the tiniest piece of it.
He didn't turn up at the precinct the next day, and she didn't call him.
Thank you :)
