Smell

Author's Note: Prompt number 36. Just so ya know.

----------

I love the way you smell. That sounds really scary, like an American horror film. You know, the ones I never wanted to see with you? I was afraid.

To be quite honest, I'm not afraid anymore. We're all together now, in this American-horror-film of an island. I've seen scarier things than they can show in any theater.

But when something terrifying would happen, here or in a theater, you'd wrap me up in your jacket or whatever you had on you (even your shirt once, and I can't tell you how much I blushed) and with your scent of imitation cologne and a little bit of sweat and something I can't identify. It fills my nose and I know I'm okay.

You smell safe, do you know that?

The second night after Jin left, Sun fell asleep, the scent of sweat and cheap cologne filling her nose. She murmurs softly in her sleep, and does not wake until morning.
