I do not own the O.C. and yes this is Ryan and Marissa. Enjoy!

The waves had softened, as the sun had set.

He grasped her hand, and entwined his fingers within hers.

She took her other hand and gently slid it across his jaw, towards his mouth.

He started to speak

Yet she quickly covered it with a delicate finger

"Shhh do not speak."

The clock struck midnight

She had to leave

She gently let go

But he grabbed her, by the forearm

And pulled her close.

He laid his right on her delicate back, and the left he entwined with her right fingers.

He whispered in her ear

She smiled

It turned cold

He held her close

She could feel his warm breath absorb into her pores, creating them as one.

They held each other closer.

And she knew she couldn't leave.

A firefly landed on her shoulder

As one did on his

They glowed within the darkness.

He touched her face

She flinched, yet felt extremities of being safe, this was her haven

In his arms

And the fireflies flew together

Circling

Entwining

Becoming one

And they did the same

As the Sun had set along the shore.

Please review, they are greatly appreciated!
