4. Lost Scene
They shouldn't be doing what they're doing. They're in enough danger as it is. She is having an affair with a student. She's expecting his baby. If anyone ever finds out, then she will be sent to prison for certain. It doesn't matter that they love each other. She is still his teacher.
But none of that matters, not when Jonah asks her to marry him, then takes her in his arms and presses his lips against hers. The mood is light and playful, a stark contrast to the seriousness of where they are. They should not be considering making love in a store cupboard, at school. The odds of them being discovered are astronomical. And yet they do not care.
She smiles as he manages to slide her shirt up over her head, his large, warm hands catching the skin of her back and making her shudder in anticipation of what is to come. His lips are warm and soft against hers, and she can feel them tugging into a smile beneath her mouth. Her own hands are not idle, running up the front of his shirt and flicking open the buttons with practised ease.
She should be the responsible one. Jonah is the young one, fuelled by his inexperienced desire to dance with the devil, to carry out the lost scene in the play that they have just witnessed. And yet, when his hands meet her body, she finds that she cannot resist him. This once, she will live dangerously.
The danger of the situation heightens her reaction to him, and soon she is panting and desperate beneath his touch.
They don't hear the opening of the classroom door.
They don't hear the footsteps crossing the room.
They don't realise that light is now spilling into their hiding place.
Not until it is too late.
They are faced with the shocked faces of Ronan and Vicki. The ardour in Cesca's blood veins has frozen. Only icy terror is left behind.
They had been desperate to re-enact a lost scene of the play.
Sometimes, it is better when they stay lost.
A/N: I haven't actually watched the latter part of series six since it ended, therefore my recollections of this scene are fairly hazy. Hopefully it doesn't stray too much from the canon event and hopefully it can still be enjoyable.
