Author's Note:Hooray! The oneshot # 2 is coming!
It's dedicated to SH2 (damnit, the best game in my life...) and James.
This oneshot is special for me, cause... khem... erm... well, it's my first attempt to describe sex... well, sexual themes... well, sexual hints... =^_^= But it went out too romantic, and I'm disappointed. :(
Anyway, the pairing introduced here is one of my most favourite ones. And the game is wonderful. And...
Well... Here we go.
Waiting
Game: Silent Hill 2
Character: James Sunderland
It's not a second
Seven seconds away,
Just as long as I stay.
I'll be waiting.

(Youssou N'dour - "Seven Seconds Away")
She's not getting better. I see the alarm in her face every morning. And all I want to is to understand, what's going on.
'James, don't worry about me so much. It's a cold, nothing more.' She is saying to me.
'A husband is supposed to worry about his wife.' I'm trying to smile without assurance, that this smile is natural.
'Oh yeah, otherwise you'll have some problems with me...' Mary's laughing. Mary, I adore your laugh...but why your eyes are sad when you're laughing?
I want to comfort her somehow, but that weird distance between us grows.
No, wait. A distance? It's just a cold, right?
Without any thoughts in my mind, I pull her to myself and start to kiss.
She steps aside with the pleased, but quite confused expression on her face.
'W-what are you doing?..'
'Do you really need any explanations what I'm doing?' Now it's my turn to laugh.
'Don't make me red.' She is smiling slightly, but her smile is such pale, practically unnoticeable. And tired.
'You're such tense. All the time. I would say it's scaring me a little.'
'Are you scared of me?'
She's joking...Of course, she's joking. I'm not scared of you, honey. I love you, I want you...
I'm just worrying about you, like every husband worries about his wife.
We stand still for a moment, looking at each other's eyes. Then we share a new kiss, more passionate than previous.
She always reads the desire in my eyes so clearly. So simple. We don't need words for it, I guess...
I pull her to myself very, very tight and whisper to her ear:
'I want to feel you. To know there's really nothing to worry about.'
All my next words dissolve somewhere - in touches, kisses, caresses, in our hard breath. Mary's body is slightly trembling in my hands - the most beautiful feeling I've ever known.
Laura's gone.
Eddie doesn't seem to be anywhere.
Angela is somewhere in the town looking for her mother...perhaps, not alive any longer.
Maria...is dead.
And me...
I'm still here, somewhere in the center of Silent Hill, in Brookhaven Hospital - one of the most famous town's buildings. What an irony for the town - to be famous by the psychiatric hospital.
However, Silent Hill is actually famous by being a popular resort town...
Resort town. Damn resort town. It takes everything from me.
But it gives me something very important - a chance to find Mary. To begin my life again.
Or just to ask her to forgive me and to be with her.
Silent Hill Historical Society is waiting for me. I don't already wonder what surprises, fears, pain, monsters, finds, losses are expecting for me there. The note on the table in front of me mentions about some abyss in that place...Abyss? Darkness. Emptiness.
I'm not scared of any abyss. My mind has become itself a complete abyss since some moment. I just have to go there.
Mary is waiting for me somewhere in this town.
