A/N: This is the first of many drabbles to come from season 3 of Kyle XY. Some future ones may not be based off of this season, but of my own imagination. Also, for those who don't know, I'm a Kessi fan. However, I will write Amanda/Kyle fics here also because Amanda, too, means something to Kyle and by excluding her, Kyle's character cannot be portray sufficiently.
Nicole/Stephen, Kyle/Jessi. Please read and review to tell me what you think! :)
The sound of keys unlocking and a doorknob turning startled Nicole and her husband, as they jumped up from their seats to meet their son's anxious eyes when he entered the hallway. His nervous demeanor, as he approached them, frightened her. Fears of what had happened last night consumed her mind, as too, his horrific encounter with the manipulating madman. Did his plan work? Had Cassidy suspected anything? Yet, her worries of the past events were momentarily forgotten when her questions were pushed as Kyle asked for Jessi, refusing to answer anything or anyone until he saw that she was okay. And as if on queue, Jessi entered the room. "Kyle, I'm okay."
Instantly, his arms were around her, holding her tightly to his body as her arms did the same. Face buried in his shoulder and chest, Nicole watched as Jessi breathed in his scent, his very essence, committing it to memory. Her hands gripped his shirt to feel the strong muscles beneath, clenched tightly to hold her in his embrace. Her face in blissfully formed a smile, as if officially now, she was completely whole. She couldn't see Kyle's face, yet Nicole knew that his mirrored Jessi's in joy to hold her once more and know she was fine.
Everything about the scene stunned her. She wasn't sure what surprised her the most: Kyle's assertiveness to Jessi's well-being, or Jessi's onslaught of emotion toward Kyle. She knew that look Kyle had given Jessi once he saw her. She'd known it well, for it was the same look Stephen gave frequently gave her. And that's what scared her the most. For, if by any other moment she had thought Kyle's intentions towards Jessi would dissipate, she'd been clearly wrong. It was obvious by that look in his eyes that Kyle had felt something—something deep inside him that longed to protect Jessi from any harm and whether or not Jessi noticed it, Nicole knew, the moment their eyes met, that he made a vow to, forever, keep her safe.
Next post coming soon! Also, these short fics are not connected in any way as for a plot.
