She sat down by the fire. Her wet hair dripping down her back and she tucked her legs under her chin as she had done last night. Her bare legs, wearing only shorts, had goosebumps trailing up and down them. She shivered violently, her teeth chattering slightly and her lip turning slightly blue. Lucas watched her as she tried to get warm and dry. His heart clenched to see her like this. He wanted her to be warm and dry. She shuttered again from the cold and he could take it anymore. He rose up and went over to her. She watched him with a wary eye as he came up behind her. He sat down and pulled her in between his legs. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into his warm chest.

She gasped from surprise as he pulled her into his arms, her wet hair chilling his chest and neck as he brought her closer for warmth. "Lucas." She grumbled irritably and tried to pull away but he held tight to her, refusing to let her out of his strong grip.

He didn't look at her. "Only until you're dry. It was a bad idea to bathe when the sun was setting, Bucket."

She didn't reply and didn't struggle against his hold anymore. She shuddered again as the breeze reached her again. Lucas tightened his grip on her, pulling her even closer. Her back was pressed against his chest and his legs were brushing her thighs as she hugged her knees even tighter. He sighed as the scent of strawberries and tangerines filled his nose. She smelled incredible and the pair just sat by the fire for a while until her hair was mostly dry.

"Lucas." Skye whispered.

"Mm?" Lucas's eyes were shut and he was just inhaling her smell.

"Thank you." She whispered again. The shivers had stopped coming a while ago, but she didn't pull away from his warmth.

Lucas's eyes fluttered open. She had turned her head as far as she could so she could see his face. His expression softened and he just stared into her ocean blue eyes. All he could register was how beautiful she was. "Anything for my dear sister."

She rolled her eyes and turned back to the fire. A disappointed flicker crossed his eyes as the distance between them grew. She'd been so close to his face just a mere second ago. They were quiet for a while longer before she spoke up again.

"My dream." Skye murmered. She had finally settled her head back into the crook of his arm and shoulder. Her eyes were shut again but she shifted every now and then in his arms to get warmer. To him, it was almost like she wanted to get closer.

"What about it?" Lucas asked. He'd been watching her for some time now, feeling her movements and trying to figure her out but his mind just couldn't work through it.

"I'll tell you it." She said, her tone still quiet.

Lucas's eyes lit up, a slight grin cracked his face. "Very well."

"But," Skye said a little more forceful. "Afterward you have to tell me what you were thinking about me." She felt Lucas nod his head and murmer an agreement.

He listened intently as she began. "Well," She said softly, "It was on a night after I'd come home late from seeing you." She licked her lips, unsure if she wanted to continue but decided it was best as she was going to end up telling him one time or another. "And I went to bed that night thinking about you."

Lucas stayed silent as she spoke. Suddenly she opened her eyes and looked over at him. He was leaning his head over her and their eyes met. "You can't laugh when I tell you, okay?" She asked seriously.

"Why would I laugh?" Lucas looked baffled. Clearly she was embarrased by what she dreamt.

She shrugged. "I don't know."

Lucas snickered, "Well continue before you fall asleep, okay?"

She nodded, shut her eyes again, and continued with the story. "Well I was coming to you from Terra Nova to check on your bullet wounds. I got to your little camp and you weren't there. So I called for you and then you showed up. You looked perfectly fine. You were walking straight and didn't look in pain at all. I noticed your bandages weren't in place so I ran to you and started to scold you for taking them off. You didn't know what I was talking about, and when I looked, you weren't hurt at all. You kept asking me if I'd hit my head on something or why I wasn't remembering why I showed up. I kept telling you that I thought I was there to check your wounds and I tried to explain that I'd shot you when you had control of Terra Nova. You said that you hadn't taken Terra Nova yet. So I guess that this was before you figured out the rest of the portal stuff. Then you told me that I'd remember eventually. Then you..." She trailed.

"I what?" Lucas asked. His mind begging for more information. He saw her struggle to put the words together.

"You started to..." She licked her lips, her mind warring with itself. Suddenly she seemed to summon up enough courage to say it. "You kissed me."

Lucas's eyebrows shot up. "Kiss you?"

She nodded. "But the weird thing is, I kissed you back." Her eyebrows furrowed, but she hadn't opened her eyes back up.

Lucas smirked to seem as though he wasn't surprised, but in truth he was so overcome with joy he could barely contain it. "What kind of kissing was it?"

She frowned. "It was kissing. Just kissing. Are there different kinds of kissing?"

Lucas rolled his eyes. "Well what were we doing in the kiss?"

She shrugged in his arms, "I don't know. But it wasn't just one kiss. It was many."

She heard Lucas chuckle. "Many huh? So we weren't kissing exactly. We were making out."

She frowned again and didn't respond. Eventually, she nodded off into his arms, thankful for his warmth and thankful for her courage to tell him her dream. Now he had to tell her what was going on in that genius head of his.

... eh.

This didn't turn out the right way for me... Oh well I guess... I'll just let it suck... Did I go a little too OC? I felt like I strayed from the characters a little bit... Please tell me what you thought! D:

And I promise the story is building up! I have the next few chapters done and I think you're all in for a big surprise:) You'll see what I mean.. :) Oh and guys, I'll start posting on my profile what times I'll be putting up the next chapters. So from now on, you can go to my profile and get a pretty good idea about what times I'll be posting the newest chapters:)

Thanks,
