A/N: Takes place during "Descent." This came to me very suddenly, literally woke me up at 3:00 am and demanded being written. Super extra bonus points if you can tell me about the musical theatre reference in the title.
She's furious with him, more furious than she's ever been in her entire life, because he is just so freakin' annoying, but then his mouth is on hers, and all the oxygen is knocked from her lungs, and it takes her a second to realize that he's kissing her. Her partner, Marty Deeks, is kissing her.
Her first instinct is to try and pull away but she's frozen, and his lips move against hers, and she wants it, god she wants him, and, suddenly the levee breaks and she's kissing him back. Her soul is on fire, blood pounding in her ears, the seconds stretching into an eternity, and for the first time, in a very long time, she is completely, and utterly, helpless.
He tastes like coffee. He tastes like coffee and the beach and she never wants it to end. She wants to kiss him forever, to die here in his kiss, with his hands holding her face. She wants to thread her fingers through his hair, and press her body against his, and forget anything that ever happened before his lips met hers.
He ends it years before she's ready, leaving her breathless and confused. It takes several seconds for her mind to catch up and when it does the implications of their actions slam into her. The entire world has changed, and what seemed so wonderful seconds ago seems terrifying now. She can't process it, can't deal with all the consequences of this momentary indiscretion, and her mind screams one word: run.
So she does. Away from him, away from herself, away from hopes and dreams and fantasies she's too afraid to even consider. Away from something she thinks she might want more desperately than she's ever wanted anything in her life.
Even as she gets on the bike and kicks it into gear, a part of her knows she'll regret this. She should say something to him, anything, anything at all. But the words won't come, so instead she puts her head down, takes a shaky breath, and she drives away.
A/N: Leave your love in the reviews!
