"I'm Breathless"
Disclaimer: I don't own 7th Heaven or Lucy Camden or Kevin Kinkirk. I also don't own the title. "I'm Breathless" is a 1990 Madonna(yes, many of my story inspirations come from Madonna's music, but what can I say, she's my favorite singer?) album and a soundtrack to the movie "Dick Tracy". All the chapter titles come from the songs on the album, and the songs themselves will be featured at the end of each chapter.
Summary: This idea just hit me. It's a Lucy/Kevin story, pretty much my own made up versions of parts of their romance. (Rated K+ just to be safe)
Chapter 1: "He's A Man"
Lucy Camden paced annoyingly around the living room of her family's California home. She was dressed in shorts, a yellow t-shirt, and had her hair pulled back. It was a hot day near the end of May.
Lucy was annoyed, very annoyed. Her boyfriend of nearly two months, Kevin Kinkirk, hadn't called her yet. He usually called her everyday. And at the very time it was now, mid-one o'clock pm.
Lucy looked at the clock, one twenty-eight. What the heck! Lucy's inner voices chanted annoyed, and now angry. Kevin was almost a half and hour late calling her.
"Damnit," Lucy cursed, "doesn't that man even care for me anymore!"
Lucy, clam yourself down. Of course Kevin cares for you. He wouldn't bother to call you everyday if he didn't care for you. He's your boyfriend, he loves you Lucy…WAIT A MINUTE! Kevin had never told Lucy that he loved her. What if he didn't…?
No, what was Lucy thinking? Of course Kevin loved her, he just hasn't worked up enough nerve to tell her to her face yet. Hopefully…
RING! The loud noises of the telephone snapped Lucy out of her wondering state. Lucy's hand quickly snatched the phone and swung it up to her ear, pushing away her long blonde hair from her ear in the process.
"Hello! Kevin!" Lucy said, anxiously.
"Hey Lucy," Kevin replied.
"Why are you calling so late?" she asked, worried. Had something bad happened…had Kevin met another woman to take her place? "Wait, before you answer that, there's no new woman involved, is there?"
"No Luce, there's no other woman besides you," Lucy sighed in relief, "in fact, the reason I'm so late with my daily call is because I was doing something…something for us."
Lucy smiled, "for us, Kevin?"
"Yeah, Lucy…" Kevin began slowly saying, and then added, "it took me awhile to convince my chief, but I managed to get a transfer. Lucy, I'm moving to Glen Oak."
"You're moving…to Glen Oak?" Lucy asked, surprised.
"Yeah Luce, I was thinking I could move into the garage apartment since your mother's made some more progress on it since April," Kevin told his girlfriend.
"Ok…I'll tell everyone later tonight at dinner," Lucy replied.
"Sure, sounds great. Bye, Luce, talk to you later," he said.
"Bye Kevin. I care for you," Lucy said slowly, figuring it was too soon for an 'I love you'.
Kevin smiled at Lucy's cuteness, knowing she wanted to exchange 'I love you's' when he got to Glen Oak, "I care for you too."
And then they both hung up their phones. Lucy smiled happily. Kevin was moving to Glen Oak! Now they could be together whenever they wanted! Lucy danced around the room out of happiness, not caring if she looked like a total moron.
"He's movin' to Glen Oak! He's movin' to Glen Oak! He's movin' to Glen Oak!…" she chanted excitedly.
Happy, the family dog, entered the living room and stared at Lucy. Lucy ran over to the dog and petted her.
"Happy, Kevin's moving to Glen Oak!" she told the dog, and Happy barked.

Later that day, at the Camden family dinner table, Lucy, Eric, Annie, Simon, Robbie, Ruthie, Sam, David, and Robbie's girlfriend Joy all sat eating. Happy was underneath the table, hoping for a scrap of food to fall. Lucy then decided to tell her family about Kevin's move at that moment, since everything was clam.
"Everyone, I need to say something," everyone looked at Lucy, who stood up, "well, Kevin is transferring to Glen Oak, and I told him that he could live up in the garage apartment, is that ok?"
"Of course it is, Lucy. We all love Kevin," Annie said, and the rest of the clan nodded.
Lucy hugged her mother, "thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Two Weeks Later...
Lucy was helping Kevin set up his stuff in his garage apartment. The Camden Clan had picked him up from the airport and welcomed him into their home about three or so hours earlier.
Once they finished setting everything up, the place looked as close to home for Kevin as it was going to get. Kevin and Lucy collapsed down onto the apartment's sofa out of tiredness. Kevin smiled at Lucy and stroked her long hair.
"Thanks for helping me set up everything," he said.
Lucy smiled widely, "it's no problem, Kev. You know I'd do anything for you."
"Lucy?" Kevin asked, slightly quiet.
"Yeah Kev," she replied.
"I love you," Kevin said.
Before Lucy could reply, Kevin kissed her. It was a soft, sweet, yet very passionate kiss. When they parted ways, Lucy smiled the hugest smile Kevin had ever seen her smile.
"I love you too," Lucy said.
"He's A Man"
All work and no play
Makes Dick a dull dull boy, career gets in the way
Square jaw, ooo, such a handsome face
Why do you have to save the human race
Life of crime, no it never pays
Clean up the streets and make your secret getaway
All alone, in your room with your radio
No one to hold you, had to let her go
You're a man with a gun in your hand
Waging a war between good and evil can be a bore
If you don't take time, it's not nice
So here's my advice
Take your love on the run
Oh God, let me be the one
Ah, ah, ah, man with a gun
All boss and no brains
Bullies and thugs, they take up all your time in vain
Can't let go, someone cries and you hear the call
Who's gonna catch you, don't good guys ever fall
You're a man with a gun in your hand
Waging a war between good and evil can be a bore
If you don't take time, it's not nice
So here's my advice
Take your love on the run
Oh God, let me be the one
Ah, ah, ah, man with a gun
All alone, in your room with your radio
No one to hold you, I would never let you go
You're a man with a gun in your hand
Waging a war between good and evil can be a bore
If you don't take time, it's not nice
So here's my advice
Take your love on the run
Oh God, let me be the one
Ah, ah, ah, man with a gun
Cause I can show you some fun
And I don't mean with a gun
No
You are a man with a gun in your hand
Waging a war between good and evil can be a bore
If you don't take time, it's not nice
So here's my advice
Take your love on the run
Oh God, let me be the one
Ah, ah, ah, man with a gun, take it out of your hand
Waging a war between good and evil can be a bore
If you don't make time, it's not nice
So here's my advice
Take your love on the run
Oh God, let me be the one
End Of Chapter 1
A/N: Hope you enjoyed chapter 1. I'm stuck with all my other stories("You Must Love Me", "The Secret That Changed Everything", the "Stupid Mistakes" sequel, etc) so this will most likely be my main focus along with "My 7th Heaven Poems", "Changes Are A Looming", and some new one-short stories for the next number of months. Well, I hope this brought a smile to all Levin(Lucy/Kevin) fans out there(I know that there's many, including me, although I usually prefer Lobbie(Lucy/Robbie)). Please review and give me your thoughts, feedback is welcome. Bye!
