This is my very first fanfiction, inspired by the spoiler image of 2x09 we saw a couple of hours ago posted by asundayinaugust :) If Red is faking his injuries, what happens when Lizzie finds out about it?
Thanks to my dear friends from our beautiful FB group, especially the avid Lizzingtoners with pennames hestia-Prytaneum, Celine Alba and Heather Peters for pushing me hard to write :)
Well, I wish I did, but I don't own The Blacklist *pity*

Lizzie looks at Red with both relief and shock..
Red says "Well Lizzie, I'm here" just as she did at their first encounter.. Once seing him in all flesh and blood, looking at her, everything finally dawns on Lizzie..
She walks towards Red, saying nothing, stops only a feet in front of him...Never breaking eye contact, Red stands still, waiting, ready for anything from her good or bad, just anything.. A tiny flicker of emotion..
And all of a sudden, Lizzie gives him what he's been desperately looking for: She slaps him! And yes, she slaps him hard! Tears like daggers in her eyes, speechless..
Red, knowing the pain he caused her, slowly turns his head and looks her in the eye, defeated.. Lizzie again raises her hand, now tears flowing down her cheeks both bc of all the hurt he caused in that past 1.5 year but mostly the unbearable one in those past couple of days, and the shame she feels for slapping him. This time Red catches her wrist, "Lizzie..."
Lizzie stands still, and does what Red hopes but never expects her to do: Takes the last step forward, crashing herself to him, both of them holding each other like dear life. Red kisses her hair, her tears, continuously whispering "I am sorry Lizzie! I am so sorry! I am here now and I'll never ever leave you! ".. And Lizzie looks at him between sobs.. And she closes the distance between her and his lips, less than an inch..
And they live happily ever after.. ;)
