[sam]

"I'd really like to kiss you right now."

Her breathing hitched. There was no getting out of this now. They were all alone and they surely wouldn't be out until the shop owner came in the morning.

"I-I uh." Sam stuttered, Luke's breath fanning her soft lips.

"I know you want it." He whispered slowly, his thumb brushing her top lip slowly. Sam's teeth instinctively bit into her lip as his thumb moved away.

They both stayed silent, faces almost touching and breaths quick.

The pair stared at each other for a few more seconds before their attention was diverted to a loud smashing noise behind them.

"What the fuck?!" Luke shouted, brushing off his jeans and looking around for where the noise came from.

"Shut up!" Sam whispered to Luke as he tried to open his mouth again, "the place is being robbed."

"Oh my god." He mumbled, "What are the odds?"

"We have to stop them." She whispered, eyeing the robber carefully.

"We aren't superheroes, he'll fucking kill us."

Sam ignored him and stepped out from behind the shelf, she quickly slipped towards the counter and grabbed a pair of scissors.

"Drop the money or this will be in your eye."

The robber turned around, a smirk on his face at her.

"You think you scare me little girl? I have a fucking gun. Now, hands up." He spat, pulling out the gun and pointing it at her.

"Hands up!" He demanded, she nodded and placed the weapon down, raising her hands over her head.

"It's just money, do you really want to go to jail for shooting me?" Sam spat.

"Did you wanna go to jail for stabbing me to death? Don't think so." The robber grinned, grabbing more money out of the till with one hand.

"Let her go." Luke's voice boomed, snatching the gun out of his hand and pointing it at him.

"You won't shoot that, pretty boy." He chuckled.

"You think?!" Luke yelled, his eyes raging his anger.

"Of course, a little twat like you probably hasn't even handled a gun." Just as he said that, Luke fired at a near by self, causing Sam's jaw to drop.

"Luke! Just run!" Sam shouted, he looked over at her as if he had forgotten she was there and shook his head.

"Put the money down or I shoot."

"What's it to you?"

Luke shot at another shelf again.

"I'm not fucking around! I'm not letting you get away with it, put the money down." He demanded, the man slowly placed the money down and Luke smiled.

"Now get out and don't show your face again, understand?" Luke smiled as the man nodded quickly and ran out the door.

"Holy shit." Sam looked up at Luke, his breathing was quick and his eyes still focused on the door.

"The cops are here." Luke stated as the flashing lights soon appeared.

"That was amazing Luke, I didn't know you could do that."

"Someone robbed me before, I hate those bastards. Anytime I see one I make sure they know I'm not playing around." He nodded to himself and walked towards a police officer, explaining the entire story.

What a night.

"You were so amazing tonight, Luke." She said as they walked home from the scene.

"Is that a complement? From you? Wow!" Luke put on a fake shocked expression, Sam rolled her eyes and pushed on his shoulder.

"But really, that was pretty cool." She insisted, smiling up at him. The moonlight hitting his pale complexion perfectly.

"I didn't want you getting hurt."

"I know."

"I'll keep you safe."

"I know."

"I mean it."

"Thank you."

They walked in silence for a little while before reaching Sam's house. Both of them stopped and stared at each other again, eyes locking.

Luke leaned forward and their lips touched for a moment before they could go any further, Sam's dad came rushing outside with a worried expression.

"Sam! Thank god you're okay!" Her dad said, clearly he didn't see them kiss which she was glad for.

"I'm fine, thanks dad." She smiled, his arms wrapping around her and kissing the top of her head.

"Thank you for keeping my daughter safe." He smiled at Luke, rubbing circles on his daughters back.

"Anytime sir. See you tomorrow Sam." He smiled, sending a quick wink Sam's way, causing her to blush the slightest.

"Now, tell me everything that happened."
