A/N: I'm going to be mean and let you decide for yourselves what pairings there are in these drabbles, if any. The last one is completely 100% gen, I can tell you that much, but the pairings/characters I had in mind for the other four will be a secret.
I don't think I've ever felt so safe before, laying in his arms like this, listening to his heartbeats. They are strong and steady, just like him. He calls me his special safety blanket and I smile at that. I was almost offended by it when he first called me that, but he explained that he meant that I keep him warm at night. I keep his nightmares away. Now I don't mind it anymore. I like it. It's one of those special things we share. He plants a kiss on my temple and I snuggle close. I love him.
I wonder where he is taking me. We've been walking for quite some time now. He's a few steps ahead of me and I can make out his dark, almost black silhouette against our somewhat lighter surroundings. I can hardly see where I'm going but he doesn't slow down, he just tells me to keep up. Where the heck can he possibly take me in the woods in the middle of the night? It's late and I'm tired. Suddenly I see light ahead of us. I catch up with him and he gives me a smile. I should have known.
I pull her against me and she rests her head on my shoulder. She's crying and the only thing I can do is to be there for her. There's nothing I can do to make the pain go away. My own emotions are trying to overwhelm me. Fear. Anger. Sorrow. It's all whirling around inside me. I want to cry too but I can't. I just wrap my arms around her as her tears flow. I glare at the two in front of us, those who killed him before our eyes. I swear to her that I'll put them away.
You have captured my heart, my sister, my bride. You have captured my heart with just one look. Those are the words that comes to mind every time I look upon her, and every time she smiles at me. I don't know where I've got the words from. I guess I have read them somewhere and then they just stuck, but they kind of describe what I feel. I'm not even sure if that's the original words, but I don't care. I guess it doesn't matter. I wonder if she would accept if I asked her out for dinner sometimes?
Whose brilliant idea was it to buy me one of these things? They know fully well that I would never use it. I don't even know how it works, and the manual is nothing but gibberish. I would have appreciated a hand tool, but a stereo? Do they really think I'm in need of a stereo? And why did they have to go and buy the most advanced they could find? I'll never figure this thing out. I should have accepted McGee's offer. He would have set this up for me in no time at all. I'll ask him tomorrow.
A/N 2: The two first sentences in the fourth drabble are something I heard in a Swedish movie the other day and then translated.
