A/N : Something that's been going around in my mind for sometime. If you're interested, my musical inspiration was Lady Antebellum's Need You Now.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of it. If I did, this wouldn't be simply in my imagination.
Two
Two hearts, and a whole god damn mess of a world to come between them.
Two guns, strapped tightly and heavily against two sides. Sides of the same coin, flipped so often into no man's land as they ran and fought and searched and trusted only their instincts and one another.
Two faces, known by so many, so well etched in the memories of friends and foes, familiar but yet, now, new.
Two minds, trained to think ahead and second guess and yet caught out here.
Two paths, a choice to be made. Fight or flight.
Two pasts, two pains, healed in the time since they lost and were (almost)lost, brought to the fore with the sudden insistent depth of emotion they just can't deny.
Two seconds, a heartbeat, a lifetime, a beat.
Two steps. Closer.
Two breaths, fighting for control and looking for permission to let go.
Two hands, touching now. Old skin in new light.
Two kisses. To make sure.
Two smiles, shaky and not sorry.
