[Mixed Muses] A Meeting with Simon Skinner

[his_sarah_jane]

It has been a long week and Sarah Jane is ever so grateful when her attic door opens up to Milliways again. While she has found herself really enjoying Luke, Maria, and Clyde's company, a part of her still seeks to be alone. And to be in the company of adults that will accept her.

So, it's with a cuppa and her notebook that Sarah settles into a booth. She won't admit it to herself, but she's looking for someone in particular. Christmas shopping has been taking it's tole, resulting in her buying a few gifts she hadn't planned on. Including one for her one-night stand.

If he ever shows up.

She attempts a laugh but it hurts far too much do so right now. Instead she continues with the smile.

"I'm sorry as well," she murmurs. After all, his back is rather scratched up and bloody right now because of her. "Oh, but it felt wonderful, didn't it?"

Even if everything hurts now.

"It did. 'n now I don't think I'll move for days."

"You're not alone with that."

But, at the very least, she rather wants contact. So she reaches a steady hand out, placing it on his hip.

Better.

Simon wraps his hand around hers, pulling them up to his stomach. He's silent for a few moments, catching his breath (thankful again that he can breathe), enjoying the quiet.

Then, silently: "Thank you."

"For what?"

[slasherofprices.livejournal.com]

"For...everything. More than I expected to meet me when I died."

"It's a chance for a new start, Simon," she answers quietly.

There's more to say but she falls silent as she so carefully moves her body closer to his. With their shagging, enough bodily fluids have already been exchanged that Sarah doesn't care if their sweat and blood mix. She'd much rather just lay her head on his chest.

After she recovers from the small effort, she smiles as she drapes her free arm over his abdomen. "Enjoy every moment of it."

He carefully lifts his free arm to wrap around hers, and bends his head down far enough to place a kiss on her forehead. Even these tender actions hurt, but he does them, anyway.

He rests his head back on the pillow, closing his eyes. "I will."

As long as she's with him, he will.
