I didn't expect to have another story up so soon, but I got this prompt while I was re-watching 2x01 this weekend, and the inspiration was flowing. :) I'm going to preface this prompt/story by telling those who don't already know that one version of the 2x01 scene where Sam has Andy behind the trailer had him actually kissing her. But that version was cut out and we were left with what we saw on the show. Also, unlike the multi-chapter story I wrote on this topic (Kiss the Girl), this mini-story won't change any S2 storylines regarding Andy/Luke or Andy/Sam.

Thank you in advance for reading and reviewing! Reviews really brighten up my day. :)

A Forgotten Kiss

Prompt: Sam and Andy discussing the fact that Sam did kiss Andy in 2x01.

Featuring: Sam and Andy

Andy stood in the locker room lifting up her shirt to look at the large blue and purple bruise on her abdomen. She wanted to say it looked worse than it felt, but that wasn't true. It hurt like hell, but at least she was still alive.

"That's gotta hurt," Sam said, startling her. She hadn't heard him come in.

She looked up at him and nodded. "Yeah."

"Gonna take some time off?" he asked, leaning against the lockers.

"Luke wants me to. But I..." She shrugged and her fingers played with the buttons on her uniform shirt.

"Don't wanna watch TV or sleep all day?"

"Yeah," she replied, her lips curving up ever so slightly. "I needto be here. Frank agreed to put me on desk duty till the bruising goes down, so there's no reason for me not to be here.

"I get it. I do," he replied. She shifted uncomfortably on her feet as Sam continued to stare at her.

"Look, earlier..." Sam started, but didn't know how to finish that sentence. He swallowed thickly, thinking back on the moment they shared that morning.

Sam turned around when he heard the trailer door open and was happy to see Andy walking down the stairs.

"How do you feel?" he asked, grabbing her arm gently and pulling her behind the trailer.

"Fine. Sam, that was really scary. That hurt so bad," she replied. Sam gently pushed her up against the trailer and was staring at her with a worried look on his face. "I'm alright, I'm alright. It's just that I've already got this bruise that's forming." She lifted her shirt to show him the bruise, but quickly noticed he was still staring at her face and looked up at him. "What?"

Sam framed her face with his hands, pushing her bangs out of her face, his hand trailing where dried blood still rested on her skin. He didn't think; he just acted. He closed the distance between them until his lips met hers. He'd wanted to do this for so long, but it wasn't until he almost lost her that he found the courage to break whatever rules existed. In that moment, he didn't care she was a rookie and he was a senior officer, he didn't care that she had a boyfriend, he didn't care about anything but kissing her for all it was worth. So that's exactly what he did.

The sudden feeling of his lips on hers stunned her, but she responded quickly. The feelings his touch stirred in her were welcomed and her hand quickly rested on the side of his face holding him in place gently.

It wasn't until they both needed air that he pulled away, still leaving their faces mere inches apart. They stared into each other's eyes, not knowing what to say, until movement behind him caught her eye. "Sam..." she whispered. He turned around to see a teenage boy lurking behind a fence.

Sam cast his eyes to the floor of the locker room, knowing he couldn't look at Andy while he said his next words. "I'm sorry. You know, I shouldn't have..." He stuck his hands in his pockets to stop himself from reaching out and touching her.

Andy removed her uniform shirt and hung it up in her locker. "Yeah," she said, nodding her head several times to try and hide her disappointment. She'd hoped the kiss meant something to Sam, but it sounded like he was about to tell her it was what it was again. "Yeah, of course."

"Disregard?" he asked, trying to mask the hesitancy in his voice. As much he didn't want to disregard their kiss, he wouldn't be the one to get in the way of her happiness with Luke.

Andy buried her teeth in her bottom lip, forcing herself to hold back the tears, and nodded as she continued to face her locker. She tried to tell herself the tears building up in her eyes weren't about Sam; that it had just been an emotional day, what with getting shot, seeing a girl die and catching her killer. But even she didn't believing her own lie.

"Need a ride to The Penny?" Sam asked, the words coming out before he realized it was probably the worst idea in the world considering what happened earlier.

Andy's head was screaming 'yes,' but it was something different that came out of her mouth. "No, thanks...Luke's waiting for me."

It was probably for the best she said no, he decided. If he'd gotten her in his truck, he wasn't sure he could stop himself from taking her home with him, from taking her to his bed. "Oookay then. I guess I'll see you there," he said, pushing himself off the locker and walking out of the room.

Sam walked directly into the men's locker room to change out of his uniform, but seriously contemplated letting his locker take a few frustrated punches first. Instead, he swung the locker door open so hard it bounced off the locker next to it with a loud bang. He was stupid. Stupid for kissing her, stupid for not admitting to her why he did it. He closed his eyes, remembering how she'd responded to his kiss and that gave him hope. And if that hope still existed, he couldn't take the position in Guns and Gangs. He wouldn't.

Andy waited until she heard the door click shut before collapsing on the bench and bending over to put her head in her hands. She winced at the pain of bending over, but it was nothing like what her heart was feeling. She'd been so wrong and misread Sam's actions, and hated herself for even having these thoughts about Sam while she was with Luke. She stood up and continued changing out of her uniform. She simply had to forget about the kiss, forget it ever happened.
