Lost slash fic: Chapter 2
Disclaimer: Nope, I don't own the show; otherwise it would be a lot more…..fun.
Charlie and Sawyer are now awake, and their trip into the jungle might be a little weird.
The two men soon entered the outskirt of the jungle and ahead of them lay a large amount of trees and humidity. After a little bit of silence, Sawyer finally broke by saying "I'm Sawyer, by the way. Just so you know." "Oh." Charlie replied "I'm Charlie." Sawyer nodded that he heard and then the silence continued.
Charlie couldn't stop thinking about earlier. Maybe it was the drugs or something, but he almost felt like giggling as he said Sawyer's name over and over in his mind. Yeah, it was probably the drugs. And so he did, he let out a giggle.
Sawyer looked over to Charlie as the other man let out a giggle so he gave him an odd look and asked "What're you giggling 'bout?" Charlie blushed slightly. I guess Sawyer had heard the giggle. "Oh, it's nothing. Sorry about that." And so they continued walking.
After another minute or so, Sawyer swore he heard something. To stop Charlie, he put his arm out in front of him, resting against the other man's chest. Charlie froze at the touch from Sawyer and began to blush furiously. Luckily, Sawyer was intently listening for something and didn't see. He heard…a woman. "There's someone near. Let's go!" he said. Then he looked over to see his hand still touching Charlie and he blushed as well.
When Charlie saw that Sawyer was blushing too, he almost giggled again. Sawyer just pulled his hand back and mumbled that they should get going. Charlie quickly hid his almost giggle as he also heard a woman, she sounded in pain. The two continued forward until they clearly heard the cries "Please, help! Please!" They stopped running when they saw a woman sitting against a tree. She was pregnant, about 8 months.
As the woman saw the two, she breathed out a huge sigh of relief. "Oh my god!" Thank you!" came gasped thanks from her. Sawyer leaned down and asked "Are you okay? Are you bleeding?" She shook her head "I'm pretty sure I'm fine. Are there other people?" Sawyer nodded "There are other people now, looking for other survivors." He stood a moment, thinking. "Ok, come on up now." He offered her a hand, "We need to get you back to the beach." The woman nodded "Of course. And by the way, my name's Claire."
Claire was helped up and the three of them set off, although it was at a slower pace. Charlie for some reason had been silent. It didn't seem like Sawyer needed help anyway, so he just stayed quiet as the other man had helped Claire. He looked over and saw Sawyer, Claire's arm around him, helping the pregnant woman. That was something he admired in the gruff man, he was always strong. Strange that such admiration could come after an hour or so of knowing him.
After about fifteen minutes they arrived back to the beach and saw more people than before, now seeming to gather under orders of Jack. The three of them joined the group and Jack ran over when he saw Claire, noticing her pregnancy. "Are you alright?" he asked Claire. "Did you fall or anything?" While Jack was checking Claire and her baby's health, Sawyer and Charlie wandered off a bit.
They stopped just outside of hearing of other people and Sawyer said "Thanks for helping me, I guess." He was really just being polite towards Charlie since he knew that in reality, Charlie had barely done anything. "Oh, you're welcome I think." Charlie replied. Since they were standing still, Charlie began to feel the fatigue of the day's events. That, along with the drugs from earlier, made him sway on the spot.
Sawyer watched as the other man looked about to fall over. And Charlie did, the fall sending him backwards. With a small grunt of surprise, Sawyer's instincts kicked in and he dashed behind Charlie and slowly sat down on the sand. Sawyer sighed in relief and he looked down to see Charlie peacefully sleeping, while then realizing the compromising position they were in. Charlie now lay with his body pressed into Sawyers, his head just below Sawyer's chin.
Sawyer began to blush, wondering why it seemed to end up with Charlie in his arms. A gentle breeze cam across them both from the sea and Sawyer sighed again, this time with content. It was odd that while everything had pretty much gone down the hole, he was able to find satisfaction in this one thing. The fading light of the sunset seemed to make the sand shine, adding to the overall calm.
And then the calm was broken as Jack jogged over to check on the two. "I was just coming over to see if…oh, never mind, I'll leave you two alone." He said and trailed off, getting the wrong idea. Sawyer blushed and hurriedly said "No, now wait a sec! This isn't what it looks like!" "Whatever you say." came Jack's reply with a smug smile on his face. "It's going to be night soon so try and find what shelter you can, tomorrow I hope we can build some shelter, though it looks to be pretty warm tonight." He added on a more serious note. Sawyer nodded and then turned back to the sea he was gazing at as Jack left.
After a minute or so of the calm ocean air on his face, Sawyer decided that they should probably get some sleep. He looked around for something they could sleep in and settled on a small cave by the sea. Sawyer shook Charlie gently, seeing if he would wake up. After a little prodding, the other man got up groggily. Sawyer didn't talk to him, he just gave him an arm to help him up and they set off for the cave.
As they were walking, Charlie looked over to see Sawyer's face, a serious look across it. "Ummmm, did I fall asleep back then?" he asked Sawyer. Sawyer looked over and gave a little chuckle "Yeah, ya did, I had to wake you myself." Charlie blushed a bit at having fallen asleep like that, though he probably would've blushed more if he knew that he had been in Sawyer's lap!
After a minute or so, they reached the cave. "Well, this is where we're sleeping for the night, so make your self comfortable." Sawyer announced. Charlie surveyed the small area they had and settled on a patch of sand. At least it was smaller than a rock. As he started for the spot though, Sawyer darted past him and lay down on it before him.
"Hey! I was gonna sleep there!" Charlie yelled at Sawyer. Sawyer just shrugged "Ya snooze ya lose. Or, in this case, I snooze." He chuckled at his own joke. Charlie stood there fuming for a second before thinking of a plan. All of a sudden, he began to sway on spot, just like he had before. Only this time, he was faking it.
Sawyer watched as yet again, Charlie swayed and he readied himself for the inevitable fall of the other man. Sawyer felt the familiar warmth of Charlie come back into his embrace and he looked down to see him asleep again. He blushed slightly as this was the third time today! After a moment's debate, he decided against shoving Charlie off, and with a sigh, he closed his own eyes.
When Sawyer closed his eyes, Charlie smiled silently to himself, looks like he got the softest spot after all.
