Molly was sat on top of the metal roofing of the toilets looking up at the stars. She couldn't do this often in London and was revealing in the opportunity. The sight seemed to calm her, it was what she seemed to miss the most whilst she went away on R&R, other than her Captain of course.
Leaning back so she was laid on the roof, she sighed. Why did Smurf have to come back now? Sure she was happy he was back safe and sound, but why now? When she wasn't ready to face him after what had happened a little while back. Her mind was still racing over that horrible even. She was angry at herself as well as him and she was hoping that she would have had a chance to wrap her head around everything before she saw him again. The event looping in her head like a broken record player. Again and again and again. She was so lost in thought that the creaking of the roof as someone joined her made her practically jump out of her skin. Holding her hand over her heart she breathed heavily. There was only one person that she knew of that knew this was her place for space. Smurf.
"Oi you Welsh wanker! You nearly gave me a Julius Seizure!" she groaned, closing her eyes. "Try again" an all too familiar voice spoke back. It defiantly wasn't Smurf. Opening her eyes she looked up at him."Sorry Boss... waait, How did you know I was up 'ere?" She asked confused. Letting out a chesty laugh, he leaned down on this side and softly began playing with strands of her hair. "Everyone knows you come up here." Molly looked at him slightly shocked. "Then why haven't they come and pestered me yet? Ground side the blighters are always bothering me for shit like Poptarts and Afters Sun."
"Because everyone is entitled to some alone time Dawesy... I'm only here because you've been up here for a while and I got worried..." Looking down Molly couldn't help but feel guilty. Without even thinking she suddenly blurted out "I'm not a good a good person Boss..." This sudden outburst stunned Charles. "What the bloody hell are you on about? You're the best person I know!"
"I'm not... I'm an epic fail! Don't even try convincin' me otherwise like you did last time I told you that! I'm a massive fuck up..." Tears were now streaming down her face as she continued looking at the stars, not baring to look at him. "All my life I've been pushed around, tret like shit and the one time I found people that cared for me... the real me... I screw it up by nearly getting them killed. By getting too involved in people I barely knew... that barely knew me... I'm toxic... I-I turn everything to shit." Tears were flowing freely now down her cheeks and she was finding it hard to speak. "No matter how hard I try to do better, to stop it from happening, to be... Happy... It all come crumbling down in front of me... I can't stop it... I can't..." That was it. The young medic, who had seen too much, acted tough through everything, broke into a million pieces, showing how vulnerable she really was.
The whole scene stunned the seasoned army officer. he had been on three tours previous to this one and nothing like this had ever happened before, though he shouldn't really be surprised, after all he had never been in love with someone on the same tour as him either. Without a second thought his arms wrapped around her petite body, holding her close to him as he began softly singing to her. "When I see your smile. Tears run down my face, I can't replace. Now that I'm strong I have figured out, how this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul and I know I'll find, deep inside me. I can be the one." Molly had started to calm down, listening to the true meaning in the lyrics he was singing to her. Even more so as he skipped a few parts. "I will never let you fall, I'll stand up for you forever. I'll be there for you through it all, even if saving you sends me to heaven. 'Cause you're my... you're mine. My true love, my whole heart, please don't through that away. 'Cause I'm here for you, please don't walk away... please tell me you'll stay."
When he had finished she was wiping her eyes and sniffing. "I'll be 100% by your side" he spoke softly. "How did someone like me deserve someone like you?" She breathed before capturing his lips in a deep, passionate kiss. Pulling back to breath, Charles looked in the eyes and breathed out "Ditto."
