The food on the blanket was long gone, Piper layed on her back staring up at the sky watching as the clouds go by. Leo as well laid on his back staring up at the sky.

"I see a lion." Piper said pointing up at one cloud.

"No way, that is so a train." Leo said smiling.

"No, a lion." Piper argued

"Train." Leo argued as he turned his head to look at her.

"Lion." Piper said again.

"Train." Leo turned onto his side and gazed at her

"A lion." she looked over at Leo.

"Lion." Leo said smiling

"Train." Piper said.

Leo began to laugh, he had tricked her.

"I told you it was a train."

"You tricked me." Piper said

Leo nodded his head with a smile. He was staring at her lips now, watching how percise she was with her pernounciation. Piper was still talking, but Leo wasn't really listening anymore, he was just watching her lips as they moved so fluently, up and down and in and out, depending on the word she was saying at the time. Leo slowly began leaning towards her, he didn't notice he was doing it, there seemed to be a gravitaional pull. And then he realized what was happening, Piper was still talking as she looked up at the clouds, but she still had her head facing him. Leo wasn't thinking, he acted on impulse as he closed the gap between the two of their faces pushing his lips to hers. Piper stopped talking at once shocked back into reality she pulled away starteled. Leo quickly realized what he had just done.

"Oh my god, Piper, I am so sorry." he apologized as he turned fourty shades of red.

Piper was biting her bottom lip, she had no idea what to say. She brought her legs up to her chest and hugged them. Leo looked down, he couldn't believe he had just done that.

"Piper, I didn't mean to...I don't know why.." he didn't know the right words to say.

"It's okay Leo." Piper said quietly

Leo looked at her shocked "No it is not okay, I just, I just forced a kiss on you, I just lost control I don't know what happened."

Piper looked over at him, she let go of her legs "It's okay, really." she said trying to keep him from losing control.

Le ostood up and began pacing the length of the blanket his hands running wildly through his hair as he tried to figure out why he hadn't realized sooner, why he wasn't able to stop himself from kissing her. Piper stared up at him scared, she didn't know what he was going to do, whenever CLint had gotten like that she was always punished. She reflexivly flinched back ready for the first hit. Leo looked down at where she sat and saw her sitting scared in a defensive position. He knelt down next to her.

"Piper, are you alright, did I hurt you?" he asked in a sweet voice.

"Please don't." she said in a small freightened voice.

"Please don't, please don't what?" he asked

"Hit me." she whispered.

Leo's expression changed to horror, he couldn't believe he had given her the idea that he would hit her.

"No, no of course not Piper, I would, I would never ever hit you. I would throw myself infront of a moving bus before I would ever harm a single hair on you." He continued on and on as he panicingly explained he was running out of breath but he just kept going.

"Really?' she interupted him

He sighed "Really."

"Why do you care so much?" she asked "I mean, isn't throwing yourself infront of a moving bus a little drastic?"

Leo shook his head "No way, I would do anything necessary to keep anyone from ever hurting you, ever again. Including myself."

Piper looked into his eyes, she saw how serious he was, she saw the pain that was in his eyes, the fear, but she didn't know why he was afraid. He was afraid because he feared that he had ruined any chances in the future that he might have had with her. And until this very moment he had had no clue how intense his feelings for her had been, the thought of living without her there was eternal damnination in his mind.
