If I Told You [Completed]

Glass

edited

Stephanie wakes up to the loud sound of a glass being broken. She sat there for a moment before the realization of what the sound was.

She rushes out of bed, running to the kitchen, finding Sawyer there cleaning some of the glass off the ground with his bare hands.

"No! Sawyer!" Stephanie exclaims as she walks towards him quickly.

Sawyer looks up at her voice and jumps from the sudden sound. "Fuck" he says and hisses. He accidentally had cut his finger from the glass when Stephanie came in and scared him.

Stephanie notices the blood on his finger and immediately rushed towards him as she crouches down and inspects the cut, which might have been minimal, but I mean, Sawyer still got hurt.

"Sawyer...You never clean glass with your hands, whoever taught you this was wrong." She says in a disappointing way. "Go over there, I'll clean this." She points toward the dining table.

"But Steph, I can do it. It's just a cut."

"Just a cut my ass. You're bleeding. Shoo." She waves him away.

Sawyer laughs, but gives in. He sits down at the kitchen table, Stephanie following close behind.

"Okay here," She hands him a damp cloth to put on his wound.

"Stephanie!" He says chuckling. "It's just a cut." He whines.

Stephanie looks up at him, staring at him. "Shut up. I'm going to do this, and you will sit there."

She hands him the towel to hold on his wound while Stephanie walks away to the glass shards.

She hums as she cleans it up, Sawyer staring at her, thinking about something.

"Steph?" Sawyer says. "Do you think Julia would want to meet up again? Just the three of us?"

Stephanie looks up and thinks for a moment before answering. "Honestly, I'm not completely sure. But we can ask her if you would like that."

"I would like that. We can ask her today or tomorrow?" He suggests as she goes back to cleaning.

"Yah sure, I'm fairly certain her answer will be yes, but let's ask to make sure." Sawyer nods.

Stephanie stands up abruptly, wiping her hands on her pants. "Okay that's done." She walks over to Sawyer who is still sitting at the table. "You good?"

Sawyer rolls his eyes at her as he chuckles. "I was always fine Steph."

She punches his shoulder playfully.

"Ouch that hurt." Sawyer whines and pouts.

"Oh, shut up." She says with a laugh at the end. "I hate you."

Sawyer looks at her as she smiles shyly, looking down. He gets up and hugs her without a word. Stephanie is slightly taken aback, but she hugs back. She nuzzles her nose in the crook of his neck. It was almost the same scene as 3 years ago when they first met.

He holds her closer to himself, almost like he was protecting her. He never wanted to let her go. Stephanie was really all he had. He hugs her tighter.

Stephanie relaxes in his arms. This was one of the first remotely intimate interactions they had had since they met again.

Sawyer releases Stephanie, staring at her lips. He slowly leans in and his lips ghost over hers for what felt like hours but were mere seconds. Stephanie can feel his hot breath against her skin as she closes her eyes. Sawyer leans in closer and kisses her softly. He leans back and hugs her again wordlessly.

Sawyer lets go and walks away suddenly, leaving Stephanie standing there wondering what just happened.  

there was another chapter before this, but i scrapped it.
