I don't know why this pairing isn't being used yet, but I just really like them together. This one is just a story that shows one way they could get together. Might be just a three shot.
Notes: this is AU series one.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Chapter 1. Crush, Crush, Crush.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I got a lot to say
to you
Yeah, I got a lot to say
I noticed your eyes are always
glued to me
Keeping them here
And it makes no sense at all
Rikki listened intently to the song that was playing on her mp3 player. She shook her head as she agreed to the lyrics.
Truthfully, she had never noticed him until one night last month.
Flashback
If
you want to play it like a game
Well, come on, come on, let's
play
Cause I'd rather waste my life pretending
Than have to
forget you for one whole minute
"Lewis, enough with the science experiments. I feel like I'm nothing more than a specimen." Rikki groaned at yet another nail clipping session.
"Aww, come on Rikki. You know me better than that." Lewis said in a fake offended voice.
"No, actually, I don't." Rikki realized. "Why is that? You call yourself a friend but neither of us actually knows the other."
"You want to know me? Gee, somehow I thought I was that geeky science guy in the background to you." Lewis said.
"Well, yeah, that's true. I just feel like I've known you forever and I know almost nothing about you." Rikki stated.
"Rikki, you are being strangely open today. Okay, okay, fine. I'll prove that I know you. You are Rikki, the rebel. You always speak your mind and never hold back. You don't feel obliged to be polite and you prefer to be left alone. Is that all?" Lewis hadn't intended to sound sarcastic; this actually was how he pictured Rikki.
"Huh. Okay, you wanna play that game, fine. And you are Lewis, the geek. You endlessly expect Emma, Cleo and me to sacrifice our precious time in order to fulfill YOUR scientific curiosity. You don't believe in magic, at all, like the passionless average guy that you are. And yet you continue to be a reigning optimist. Would you like me to go on?" Rikki smirked at her ability to beat Lewis at his own game.
It was strange, the way they could peg each other's personality in a second. But they couldn't ever know each other's ways of thinking, the real way you know somebody.
"Is that what you think?" Lewis frowned.
"Is that what you think?" Rikki shot back at him.
"You know, I find it strange that you want to know so much about me." Lewis rose his chin, the mark of curiosity in his case.
"Yeah? Well I find it strange that you care so much what I think." Rikki replied.
They had gone off in games for almost half an hour before Lewis was the one to calm things down and started to tell Rikki parts of his life story.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"And after that, he left. I never saw him again after that." Lewis gazed mindlessly at the reflection of the ocean water, now darkening as the crescent shape of the moon began to rise in front of them, both sitting on a dock facing the sea.
"Wow. That's a lot to deal with. That's kind of like what happened with my Mum. Except they argued over financial issues. So one day, she packed up her things, and left me and my dad in the dust, with the little money we always had." Rikki explained sadly.
"That's really rough." Lewis said.
"Yeah. It is." Rikki concurred.
They left shortly after that, both knowing much more about each other than they ever wanted.
Nothing
compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one, two I was just
counting on
That never happened
I guess I'm dreaming
again
Let's be more than this
End flashback
Rikki smiled, listening to the bridge of the song, banging her head at the beat.
Rock and roll,
baby
Don't you know that we're all alone now?
I need something
to sing about
Rock and roll, hey
Don't you know, baby, we're
all alone now?
I need something to sing about
Rock and roll,
hey
Don't you know, baby, we're all alone now?
Give me
something to sing about
...
Nothing compares to
a quiet evening alone
Just the one, two I was just counting
on
That never happened
I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be
more than
More than this
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
