I haven't posted much fanfiction in a while. I want to try to get back into it, so I decided to post one of my better one-shots and see how it did, instead of starting another huge saga right away.
This is an excerpt from an AU Lost story that I wrote, spanning the course of the series, that alters several major events. This is the reason why both characters may seem slightly OOC.
Timeline: Season 3, Post 'One of Us', Pre 'Through The Looking Glass'
Overnighter
"Freckles, you really are a match for me. Already up for another round?"
. . .
"What, you leavin'?"
A grunt, probably yes.
"Well, why?"
" 'Cause I'm going back to my own tent. You know, old habits".
"Pretty damn well, yeah. Tiger don't change no stripes n'all".
"Exactly". Her position shifted as she moved around the tent. "Seen my underwear?"
A groan. "Stay".
"Why? We're through for the night".
"Well, what about tomorrow morning?"
"What about tomorrow morning?"
"We could have another go-round. I mean, there ain't exactly much to do 'round here-"
"So, because you're bored, I should stay and have sex with you tomorrow?"
. . . .
"Well, . . .yeah, I guess".
"That's a stupid reason".
"What, you got somethin' better to do?"
. . . .
"Or someone?"
"You're such a douche".
"Well, if this ain't the sweetest relationship I ever had".
. . . .
"What?"
"You said 'relationship'".
"Jesus. . .What the fuck do you call this?"
"No, it's just. . .I win. Y'know, the bet. You said 'relationship' first. That means tomorrow morning is completely my call".
"Though'chu weren't gonna stay 'til tomorrow morning?"
"Shut up and go back to sleep".
"Oh my god . . .are we gonna cuddle?"
"Do you want me to leave?"
"No! . . .I want you to stay, okay? Will you just fucking stay for once?"
. . . .
"Freckles?"
"I thought I told you to go back to sleep?"
A grin. Peck on the forehead. "Right. Sorry".
I live for reviews, as all fanfiction authors do.
