This story takes place during the scene in Confidence Man where Kate kisses Sawyer. Its short and quick, but its the kind of thing I like writing the most. I really hope you like it, and reviews are greatly appreciated!

From this choice, there would sprout implications. Implications which would redevelop the future. Change the half painted picture, or perhaps just speed up the events already in place. No one could really tell. No one could be sure. You never know the future after all, never quite know how it may have turned out... And with that thought fresh in her mind, she let her lips touch his.

The kiss itself could be described most amazing thing that either of them had ever experienced. It seemed to render them powerless. Made them forget their circumstances, the purely insane circumstances they found themselves in. The secret burden that was forming, even now as they kissed, the burden that would disassemble their thoughts; reduce them to nothingness. They would be presented with two options: they could give in, or it would break them.

But they didn't want either. Stubbornness being their nature. Their pride their weakness. Desire will always exploit weaknesses however, and they were no exception. They were digging themselves a deep cavern. when it was complete, they would be become trapped; neither one willing to admit defeat. Neither willing to say that maybe they... needed... the other.

And with this bittersweet note, they pulled away from each other. The picture quickly started to repaint itself. Burning with bright colours of desire. Overpowering the bleakness it had once been. They were forever changed.

A/N: Please review. Hope you liked it!
