like fire and gasoline

by I.Hope.You.Dance.7

Luke is fire; bright, destructive, and oh-so-addictively untouchable. The whole town knows it- and has always hoped for a good girl to calm him down. Selena is gasoline; indignantly silent until you decide to light her up. She's never needed anyone-especially a guy like him. Nobody expected them to fit together- not even themselves.

Worn- 'like leather gloves and hearts'

It was cold outside and inside too. Selena finds herself standing outside of the carpenter's shop, shivering with the cold- though she wasn't sure if it was from the snow or her heart.

"Selena!" Luke's familiar voice sends warmth through her. "What're you doing here?"

"I needed to see you."

"I see that. Come on, let's get you inside." Luke unlocks the door, holding it open.

Selena hurries in, sucking up the warmth. Luke puts his axe down. "What's wrong?"

"It's… I don't want to talk about it. I'm so worn out."

Before she knows what he's doing, she's engulfed in a hug. "Shh. You don't have to talk."

So she doesn't, and thy just stand there, wrapped in each other's arms. Heart beats pass, and Selena doesn't understand the silence- but she likes it.

He takes her hand, and the worn leather glove feels like her heart before he held her.
