Strange Emotions

Disclaimer: I own nothing but this plot.

Summary: Vaughn/Josie one shot drabble ficlet. No black hole weirdness, just mush. It doesn't really follow the timeline. It takes place right after Transference. :swoons: Josie and Vaughns first kiss! I squealed like a little girl!

Josie ran her fingers over the Qi Gong ball on the table. She palmed the smooth sphere, placing it in the pocket of her hoodie. She pressed her lips together, gnawing at the inside of her cheek.

"Vaughn!" She called, standing up from the table, ignoring her friends' stares and squawks. Vaughn stopped and turned towards Josie.

"What is it?" Josie jogged her way over to him, finger placed across his lips.

"Just don't say anything" she murmured, lowering her finger, and taking Vaughn's hand in her own. Vaughn's dark eyes widened, but he remained silent.

"Do you trust me?" Josie asked, trapping her lip in her teeth. Vaughn nodded, confusion masking his features.

"Good" Josie leaned in, wrapping her arms around his neck. Josie's lips pressed to Vaughn's, as he snaked his hands under her hair, supporting her neck. Vaughn's eyes popped opened, then closed again. He groaned as the pressure between them increased. Please let this not be another dream Vaughn thinks to himself, tangling his hands in that length of soft, red hair.

Josie smiled into Vaughn's mouth, pulling back from their kiss.

"Forgive me" she asked, full lips drawn into a mock-pout. Vaughn enfolded Josie's petite frame in his muscular arms, resting his chin atop her fiery head.

"Nothing to forgive" he murmured.

Josie had never felt as warm or content as she did in the small context that was being held in Vaughn's arms, pressed close to his heart. The gentle "thu-thud" sound it made lulled Josie into a state of relaxed bliss. She gnawed her bottom lip, the way she always did when she was in deep thought.

"Vaughn…." She started, unsure as to whether she should continue, or stop now.

"Yeah Jos?" he asked.

"You know it was you all along. Always has been, always will be."

Vaughn paused, his mind reeling. Just what the hell was she talking about? Suddenly, it hit him harder then Kubiak on a sugar rush in football practice. Him and Lucas.

"I was never worried" Vaughn stated, trying to sound more confident than he actually was. Truth was, he was always worried about the geeky science nerd with the heart of gold. He wrapped his arms tighter around her, feeling protective. All that mattered was that Josie chose him in the end. He leaned down, and kissed her atop the head. She smiled, and leaned back into him

Back at the table, Lucas' heart was breaking into thousands of pieces
