A/N: I really need to start prioritizing. So here is something I dabbled in last week and decided to just throw this up. Why waste the words?

Disclaimer: I don't own this. Bite me.


Between Me and You

"There's a huge gap between us."

She can't see it. I can't fathom why she can't see it. It's right there. The fact that she'll always be moving on without me, that one day I'll be that guy she left behind, standing in the fog and wondering if I'll ever get out of the gray.

"Between me and you," I start slow, trying to get my point across. Very deliberately. She doesn't like no for an answer, so explaining complicated things she doesn't like will not help her in the slightest. "-there is a complete line of gray. I'm black, you're white."

Her eyes narrow. "Kevin, we're both white."

I'm talking legit colors, she's talking skin. Really. And I'm the dumb one. Although I subconsciously know she's being sarcastic, it doesn't stop me from knowing exactly how funny it is. "Gwen, listen, I don't want this to go badly."

"So you're breaking up with me?" She doesn't sound hurt, she sounds offended, which is weird because if I was, it would be a blessing for her. Even so, I can hear that she isn't taking me seriously.

"Hell no!" Like I'd give up her perfect skin, those green eyes, the way her curves fit perfectly against me, her hair, how she smells like cherries all the time... I'm not a genius, but I'm also no fool. "I'm just sayin' that you need to be able to do stuff without me. Like go to the movies with a friend or somethin'. It feels like we're always together, and-"

"Because we're saving the world." I receive a well-earned smack on the back of the head. "I don't always have a choice, Kevin. I'm not sure if you're aware of this."

I scowl a bit. I am aware. I just ignore it. Like common sense. It's there, but it's not like I use it. "Just know that I think it's cool if you do stuff without me." But I am completely aware that we are always together because we kind of are always saving the world.

"I already know it's 'cool' for me to do things without me." Air-quotes and everything. She folds her arms across her chest, which only prompts me to stare at her assets. My eyes are distracted and it's one of those moments where I can't tear my eyes aw- And she clears her throat to get my attention back. Her brows are knit together and a glare is being tossed in my direction. "Not like you don't do stuff without me being there."

Nervously, I run a hand through my hair, trying to figure out how to defend myself, what to say next. Backdoor dealing, undercover Plumber jobs, a few busts a week on weapons trafficking (that doesn't involve any of my clientele). Whatever I can find to spend my spare time on. Since I'm not in school. Another reason she needs to do stuff without me. "Yeah... But that's 'cause I got time, Gwen."

"Kevin." She takes a step closer, hands falling from her chest to lace their way up into my hair as she leans into me. She stills smells like cherries. Score. "I've got plenty of time for you." She smiles up at me so innocently; for a second, it makes me feel guilty for still dealing the minimal tech that I do. Then that feeling goes away. "Because between you and me, you're the only person I really need."


A/N: Um, review?
