The prompt for this fic was what they were thinking before, during, and after the kiss from 2x07. I'm gonna try out a new format to sort of fit the request, so bear with me if it seems a little odd for a moment. Here we go!
Before he'd kissed her, he could feel his heart pounding against his chest. His heartbeat was as erratic as his breathing was heavy. Adrenaline rushed through his veins like the fire that had disturbed them, and all he could see was her. Her eyes were wide, her hair dripping wet, and he'd never felt closer to her than in this moment.
She'd told him that she loved storms; during those times everything that was true came out. These storms, the one blazing around them, and the one blazing through his eyes were no exception. Her whole body was soaking wet, and the rain continued to come down on both of them, but she could pay it no mind. The look in his eyes, hungry and desperate, rushed through her veins, from the tip of her toes to the top of her head, through to her very soul. She wanted him.
When he kissed her, everything exploded again. He lifted her into the air carelessly,effortlessly; she was weightless against him. They fit together perfectly, and with her lips against his, the world almost made sense again. Nothing else mattered but this; her hands were tangled in his hair, her breath gentle against his lips, his face when she looked him in the eyes. He could see the lightning flashing in her eyes, and she seemed more alive in that moment then he'd ever seen her. In that moment, her eyes were undeniably her, the presence in his arms was real. He'd never been quite certain in what he believed, but in this moment, he knew more than he ever had before. He was a sinner, and her lips were as close to heaven as he'd ever be.
The feeling running through her veins had moved well past adrenaline; it was electricity, shocking parts of her to life, parts of her she'd never felt before. She wasn't a stranger to men. She knew a kiss, she knew a touch, but in her mind they were vague; they were noiseless, faceless, strung together pieces of memory that didn't really belong to her; a blur. But feeling his hands on her, her fingers wrapped in his hair, his lips and hers, they were real, this was real, she was real. But for how long, she couldn't say, as much as she trusted her heart, she couldn't trust her own mind. She wanted him, but the voice in the back of her head, that toxic, snake like whisper that she had become so accustomed to ignoring was growing louder and louder, the longer his hands were on her hips.
When she'd pushed him away, the first thing to flash through his mind was rejection, and it confused him. He was so certain, he'd felt it on her lips, surely she'd meant it as much as he did, but her words brought his mind back to the present. She'd said "We are dangerous" but her eyes said something different altogether. Her eyes shouted at him that she was dangerous, and those bright blue eyes implored him to see that this was for his sake. They'd grown darker than before, and he realized then what she was trying to tell him. So long as she wasn't alone in her mind, so long as she was not in control, he could not have 'd told her before that he was with her, and this, in no way, changed his mind, but the desperation he'd felt in her fingers only made him more resolved to save her.
As soon as she'd pushed him away she regretted it. His hands had felt so right, their breath had mingled together so sweetly, and the look in his eyes broke her heart. The whisper in her mind had subsided, but so had the feeling of life that his kiss had provided her. She wanted him, but she couldn't hurt him. She needed his presence in her life, but closing the gap between them now would put him at even more risk than he already was, and she hated it. She'd told him once that she could have fallen in love with him. What she didn't tell him was that she didn't want to. She didn't want to see him get hurt because of her. She didn't tell him that in their months together, she already had.
Okay, I apologize because that was super super short, but I felt like it was loaded with a pretty decent amount of emotion, so maybe that made up for it? More fics to come!
