Disclaimer: I don't own them, if I did, I'd keep Catherine, and
probably Sara too.
POV: Sara's
Rating: T
Pairing: C/S
A/N: This is just something I wrote out of boredom and frustration. It's
not anything amazing, and it probably only makes sense in my mind, but I
decided to put it up anyway. Feel free to tell me if you hated it, but I hope
someone enjoys it.
Changing The Rules
I always followed the rules.
Once again we argued, but it
didn't end with you storming off and leaving me to a whirlwind of emotions.
You changed the rules.
Instead, you turned away,
and it took a few minutes before I realised you were crying.
All my anger vanished as
soon as I saw your pain.
I pulled you into my arms
and held you until your tears dried up.
Then you looked into my eyes
and with a flash of realization, I saw in your eyes what must have been
mirrored in my own.
You let me in.
You changed the rules.
Things stayed the same for a
while, we argued, you stormed off, but all the time, I knew your secret.
A secret you'd been fighting
to keep, the same secret I've fought to keep all these years.
But I didn't act, didn't
tell you I knew.
I was too afraid to change
the rules.
Then we argued again.
The tension in the room was
so thick you could have cut it with a knife.
And you pressed your lips
against mine.
I'd like to say I changed
the rules.
I'd like to say I kissed you
back.
But I was too afraid.
I ran, I ran until I was
safe in my apartment.
I cried, because I knew you
wanted me just as much as I wanted you, but I was too much of a coward to do
anything.
I tried to drink my thoughts
of you away, but only caused more.
I'm a coward, unlike you.
Then someone knocked on my
door.
I opened it, and you stood
there, eyes bright with unshed tears.
I didn't know what to do,
what to say, as once again you'd changed the rules.
You knew what to do.
You rained kisses on my
lips, all the time begging me to kiss you back.
So I took a risk.
I kissed you, and once I
had, I knew there was no going back.
Once my mind caught up with
me, we were lying spent in my bed.
You had fallen into an
exhausted sleep in my arms.
Or so I thought.
I changed the rules, and I
didn't even know.
"I love you," I whispered.
Then your eyes opened and
you smiled.
"I love you too Sara."
And after that, there were
no longer rules.
Just you, and me, and that
was all that mattered.
That was all that had ever
mattered from day one, but we had to change the rules to see that.
Feedback? Please?
