Hello, munchkins!
This is my first one-shot. I'm not going to say be gentle, I'd genuinely like the truth so I can progress over time. Thanks in advance for reading and/or reviewing! Hope you enjoy it!
"Ok, this is it. I'll see you on the other side... probably sooner than later."
She let out a small whimper as she picked up the gun by her side and handed it to me.
"Make it later."
I took it from her and set it on the ground before gently grabbing her right wrist to bring her hand around the activation button. I couldn't look her in the eyes as I helped her close her hand around it. It took all I had to finally meet my eyes with hers, the woman I loved. Of course with the Winchester luck I'd just realized this now; I loved Jo. Not how I loved Bobby or Ellen, I loved them like family. Jo, though, I actually love loved her – love. Why am I using past tense? I can help her. I've got to help her. I try to think of a way to get her out of here and search for the nearest help but each idea just plays out badly in my head. I wanted to tell her I love her so but I just couldn't muster the words together. Instead, I quickly leaned forward, placing my right hand against her cheek and left a lingering kiss on her forehead before pulling away and looking back into her eyes.
That's when I did it, I couldn't resist the urge. I slowly leaned forward, once again, but this time I placed my lips on hers.
That was the closest I ever got to telling Jo I loved her…
