Yeah

Yes. Again. I lied. Well…the word 'lie' is abit harsh so…

Is silenced by a look from annoyed reviewers/readers.

Ahh…um…I'll just go right ahead with my first AN shall I? right…

Edges slowly away…

AN

Roight…urm….thanks to everyone that reviewed, a particular thanks to regular reviewers…which sadly seem to slowly be diminishing ,sniffs, but anyhow on with the story matey-dudes!

Enjoy!


Skyler sat in a corner of the room, crouched, biting his thumb.

Could he do this?

Could he possibly live with her?

Could he control the instincts that made him recognise Storm as prey?

Could he?

Take a risk. It would be a big one…not only risking her, but risking everything he had made for himself these past few years…all the careful ones…after the not so successful ones…

Would he be willing to risk it all for her?

Was she worth it?

Storm began to cough roughly from aacross the room.

Skyler stood up in one fluid movement.

Yes.

He was by the bed in a breath.

He would be willing to risk it all for her.

And yes, she was worth it.

Storm began to sit up, and Skyler put out an arm to help her up, when she cringed away from him into the pillows.

Something sharp and painful tugged at his heart when she reacted so.

He didn't want her to be scared of him, wary perhaps, careful definitely, but never scared.

He tentatively reached out and Storm gingerly grasped his hand and sat up.

Skyler then reached over to the bedside, and picked up a glass of water and handed it to Storm.

Storm eyed the water suspiciously, not reaching out to take it.

'It's okay you know. Tap water not too shabby for you?' Skyler said, breaking the silence.

Storm's eyes narrowed, and she took the glass, sniffing it once, making Skyler chuckle humourlessly. She gave it a cautious sip, before gulping down the water in one go, while half glaring at Skyler, still too slightly scared to fully be herself.

She handed him the now empty glass and Skyler set it down on the bedside, the damp thud on the wood being the only sound heard in the once again silent room.

'Why?' asked Storm simply.

'I..' Skyler sighed and he sat down gracefully one the bed.

Storm flinched slightly, then feeling immensely guilty as she saw the vast amount of pain reflected in Skyler's eyes when she done so.

'I was angry' Skyler tonelessly.

Storms shoulder slumped.

'Why? What did I do? I didn't mean…' she trailed off.

Skyler forced a smile.

'Not with you. No. I was angry….just….it's just, someone like me doesn't deserve someone like you. Though we've known each other for insignificant amount of time…I feel like we were destined to be together. Like we belong….and when I look in your eyes, your beautiful eyes...I see so much…' he trailed off.

'Love.' Storm said, finishing for him.

Skyler was shaking his head.

'Yes. And…that's wrong. You shouldn't love me. I'm not worthy of your love. Of anyone's love. I'm a-'

Skyler clenched his fist, his blue veins clearly visible against his pale skin.

'You're a person. A human being. No one is perfect, but everyone deserves love.' Storm said fiercely.

Skyler smiled without humour.

'A person perhaps…but a human being…'
Sky frowned.

'Yeah, right, because you're not human' Storm scoffed.

Skyler froze, then mentally shook himself and forced a smile.

'Sure.' He said.

Storm rolled her eyes.

It cost not to listen…

Oooh! An uberlalamzing ending right there!

And lots of reviews encourage me to update quicker, which I just haven't been getting. I'm open to anything. Even if it's a one liner, or even just a few words. So yeah, bear that in mind.
