This will break your heart
They lived as if they were together. Slept in the same bed, no sex. They cooked together, no kissing. And it is the best 8 months of the year.
Lana put away her clothes. On one side was summer clothes t-shirts and shorts, on the other was dresses and jackets. The thought of wearing a coat in 90 degree weather made her cringe and want to take a cold shower. She looked over to see the empty side of the bedroom. Sean had yet to arrive and she couldn't wait to spend the next 8 months with her best friend. She walked into the bedroom where they slept and put more things away, 2 more boxes and she would be done packing. She got here at 6 in the morning due to excitement but she would never tell Fred that. It was now 3 in the afternoon and she started dinner. Fruit, steak, and a side salad Sean's favorite.
Dinner was almost done when Sean opened the door to see Lana he smiled from ear to ear.
"Lana." He said.
She turned and hugged him delighted that he was home. Well their version of home. He dropped his things and hugged her back picking her up and swinging her around. They both smiled and laughed. He put her down and stepped back holding both of her hands getting a good look at her.
"Beautiful as always, Lana." He stated looking at her.
"You get more handsome every time I see you Sean." Lana responded.
The oven beeped taking them out of their trance. Lana grin and Sean moved to put his things away.
He stood in the closest bedroom smiling as he touched the outfits for the first episode of this season. Filming starts in one week and this episode was filled with kisses and him constantly touching Lana. He stepped back and remembered its Robin and Regina touching. Robin and Regina love each other. Him and Lana were just friends. That thought killed him as he walked over and hung up his clothes put his shoes, he only had a box of bedroom clothe. He felt arms around his waist and smiled.
"You know I think I'm supposed to do this to you." Sean said sliding to put his arms around Lana laughed. "Like this."
She turned and got lost in his eyes. She laughed the feeling away.
"Dinner is done. By the way." Lana said walking away going into the dining room. She had set the table with candles and his favorite flower. He came out the back bedroom and smiled.
"My favorite things vanilla candles, side salad, fruit, and steak. My favorite flower and person. Besides my son." He chuckled. They ate and he went to take a shower. She started on dessert brownie sundae their favorite.
He stood in the shower and thought so much about what they had talked about at dinner. Lana and Fred having issues already and he and Tanya were looking for a counselor. Then the subject of Robin and Regina popped up and he thought about how they loved each other very much. And that they had no clue about what would happen this season between them. He low key hoped more kissing and that he could be with Lana for more then a few scenes. His mind wandered to Lana. The white t-shirt and he baby blue bra barely visible. Her jean capris and the way she hugged him and he hugged her. Tears filled his eyes. 8 years sooner and she would be his.
"Hey Sean do I have to come in after you." Lana said with a chuckle. She went into the kitchen and sat down waiting for her friend. She looked at where her wedding ring should ring sat in the bedroom she wished she didn't have to wear it. That she wasn't promised to someone else. She loves Sean but probably not in the same way he loves her. He walked out in nothing but a towel. She gasped at how Gorgeous he is.
"I have yet to unpack my lazy clothes can I wear your sweats?" He asked laughing at himself.
"Please do." She laughed at him. She thought about the not completely dry Sean the little water drops dripping down him. Then she remembered that she needed to calm down. We're just friends she kept reminding herself.
He looked all over for the sweats then found them and a pair of Lana's lacy red underwear. He thought about what she would look like in them and then he fought those feelings away and put on the clothes he found.
"I think I pull this off really well" he laughed walking out to join Lana at the table. He smiled at her.
"Yes you do" she laughed and took another bite of the brownie Sunday. After talking for 4 more hours it was 10 and they had to be up at 6 and head to the set for fittings. They both took their places in the bed and Sean found himself cuddling her and her not breaking the embrace. Maybe the lack of happiness in both of their marriages would bring them together and that made him happy. And she thought about how this whole situation made her happy. The apartment and him and living together. She snuggled closer and went to sleep.
