TITLE: Kiss: Doggett AUTHOR: stellar_dust EMAIL: stellar_dust_x@yahoo.com WEBSITE: http://katycat.net/xfiles/ ARCHIVE/FEEDBACK: Just let me know/Of course. SPOILERS: None; post-col RATING: PG-13 PAIRING: DRR OH YES. RUN. CHALLENGE: U2 ("Pride (In the Name of Love)") WORD COUNT: 175 DISCLAIMER: Not mine. DATE: 11/27/2004 INSPIRATION: "One man washed on an empty beach, One man betrayed with a kiss.. Free at last, they took your life; They could not take your pride. In the name of love." My chest hurts like hell. Something's on my mouth and I can't breathe. I remember lots and lots of water and the fence went a hell of a lot deeper than I expected ... Am I dead? If I open my eyes will Monica be waiting for me? Wait, wait, no, I should hope to see Luke, damn, I can't think straight - I cough and the pressure on my mouth subsides, my eyes flutter open - Monica. She's giving me CPR. Fuck that. I force my arms up and pull her down on top of me in the shallow water, twining my fingers in her hair to make sure her lips don't move a millimeter. She grunts in surprise but I'm too busy kissing her to care; she chuckles a little and responds, moving slowly and carefully against my body, nipping at my tongue, turning the kiss of life into the kiss of *my* life ... Skinner might be laughing out loud as we roll over and over, tangled together and splashing in the sun. I'd never notice.
