A Bridge Too Far


I knew this was pointless.

But every time I saw him, it seemed like there was a little hope left.

An unexpected touch.

A shy smile.

Looking at the blonde headed man beneath me, I realize that this must have just been wishful thinking.

"Flint?" He asks. I note the way his body has stiffened beneath mine, and how his eyes have hardened as he stares up at me.

"I-- Sorry." I try to play it off, to laugh, as I stand up and hold a hand out to help him up.

I knew I would never regret stealing that kiss. Our first and last.

Volkner stands up and begins straitening his jacket. "I think you should go now." He says without looking at me.

I nod, before realizing he can't see me. "Right," I reply, "I'll come visit you sometime soon!" I try to sound cheerful as I walk out of the gym.

I knew I shouldn't have done that. What little chance I might have had just flew out the window, along with my heart.

But even as I walked along Sunyshore's beach, I know I would never give up.

A/N: Forgive me for the brevity, but I did this quickly, while the emotion was still there. I'd never actually want this to go down; I love this pairing! Please don't forget to leave a little review!
