Hi. This is really pointless, these are just "outtakes", there's no plot or anything, just stupid things I cut off for different reasons. They were just sitting there in my laptop anyway, so. Enjoy if you can?

I had originally planned to post a 3 part angsty Pike fic I wrote a while ago, but I figured I'd post this too, since my finals are coming to an end and season 3 of Graceland is getting closer (yes, that shot of Sid choking Paige had everything to do with it :( ).


Each flap of bare skin exposed to his touch by her low-cut dress felt like fire under the tip of his fingers.

Whispers and muffled laughs echoed into the night as they clawed at each other in the eagerness of their kisses - hidden from the dune, they were free to be what they couldn't be anywhere else.

His hand sank into the wet sand, his lips frantically searching hers in a bruising kiss.

When Paige yelped in shock in his arms, her knees bent to accommodate him laying on top of her, Mike stilled and looked up in concern. Her smile stopped the racing of his heart, as she motioned with her chin to the side.

"Jakes is going to kill us."

It took everything in him not to roll his eyes at her. A smile took over his whole face and he dropped his head in the crook of her neck, moaning. Her laugh sounded like music to his ears.

Peanuts were scattered everywhere, half submerged by the sand.

They had gone out to be alone for a while, away from indiscreet glances and Johnny's constant chattering. Not caring about the labels, Paige had insisted they stole a pack of DJ's favorite peanuts and Mike had quickly become her accomplice, unable to deny her anything at that point.

He would do anything to have her all for himself. It didn't matter what they did, he just craved being with her and if that meant eating together until late at night, out on the cold sand… he would gladly do that for her. Laughing, watching the waves crash with soft roars on the rocks - kissing her until he had no breath left in his body.

"Nah, we'll blame Johnny, as usual." He replied, bringing her hand up to his mouth.

His lips brushed slowly over the bandages wrapped around her wrist and palm. A mix of guilt and sour frustration shot through him when the events of the previous day came back up in his mind. However, before the feeling of regret could get the best of him, her mouth sought his again.

"Come here. I won't shatter into pieces, I promise."
