Strangers

twilight's last gleaming

i look at finn as he sleeps. "hey" he mumbles turning his head to look at me, "hi" i move my hand to play with his hair, "it's almost dawn. we should probably get going. we can't just lie around in bed all day"

"or we could just, lie around in bed all day" i smile and look away. "finn, you know. last night wasn't about needing someone" i say looking at him. he looks at me. "i needed you, i wanted it ot be you. you understand that right"

"yea. i should probably tell you that, last night, for me, wasn't really about you" my smile starts fading. "i just wanted to have my first earth sex" i chuckle rolling my eyes. "you were around. passably cute" i sit up, i move on top of him. "shut up jackass" i chuckle leaning down to kiss him. he lays his hands on my waist. i pull away, "since you got your first earth sex. i guess you don't need me anymore" i say sliding off him, i roll to the side and wait for him to do something. i feel his arm wrap around my waist and kissing me shoulder, "i still need you" he says kissing my neck. i smile and turn my head, "hmm"

"what?"

"nothing. i just like the sound of you needing me" he rolls his eyes, i turn back onto my back and he's on his side. 

he leans down kissing me. "mm" i hum. he pulls away and looks at me smiling, "what?"

"you're beautiful"

...

i stare at the sky, "it's so quiet" i mumble. "hey where'd you get that shirt?" he asks, "well, there's more than just art supplies in the bunker finn" 

he smiles. "we should share" i mumble, "if we brought the stuff back, then they'd know that we found someplace and where would we go the next time someone pulls a murphy or goes ballistic" i nod, i look out at the sky and i feel his breath on me. "i wanted it to be you too" he mumbles. i turn my head and smile, i lean in and kiss him. he moves the kisses down on my neck, i close my eyes as i move my head to the side.

i look at the sky and see something. "finn, look" he looks up and sees something in the sky. "a shooting star. you should make a wish" he says. i laugh, "why?"

"it's a thing people used to do along time ago. i read about it"

"but it's just a rock burning up in the atmosphere. why would that make your wish come true"

"all right, romance killer" i roll my eyes and look away from him.

i watch the shooting star as it burns up, "finn. i don't think that's a shooting star" 

...

we go back to the bunker. "we should stop at camp. get some gear, weapons" i say blowing out two candles, "they send someone down? it's too small to be a dropship. i'm thinking cargo pod"

"no, there's no way they'd arm a bunch of delinquents. it's probably nutrition packs, medical supplies. there'd be a radio"

"we can talk to the ark" he adds. "that is. if it's not fried in the landing"

"we're not alone down here anymore. that's a good thing" 

"yea, not for wells or charlotte or atom" i state. or for me, i don't want to see my father. "nobody thought we'd survive down here, but we did. you should take a minute to appreciate that" i look at him, "ok. minutes done" 

i blow out the last candle and walk to the ladder climbing up out of the bunker.

...

"looks like everybody's up" finn says. fox walks over to me, "did you guys see that. it's from the ark right? it has to be"

"grab your stuff. let's find out" i say. "bellamy said we're gonna wait till sunrise"

"where is he?" i ask. i walk over to Bellamys tent and see a girl half naked. "ever hear of knocking bitch?"
