Say You Will


 

Pairing: Charlie/Zoey

Notes: For the LiveJournal TWW100 Chances challenge. Title is from Fleetwood Mac, while Charlie incarnates the spirit of Lloyd Dobler. I must be stopped.


“Well, this is a surprise.”

 

They are the first words Charlie says when Zoey stops kissing him, and he knows he’s looking a gift horse in the mouth, but he can’t help himself. “Why did you do that?”

 

“Because.” She’s trying for nonchalance, but he can see her shaking. “Give me one more chance.”

 

“Are you doing this because you’re scared?” he demands. “Lonely?” Then a thought. “You know something? I don’t care.”

 

He reaches for her, she stands her ground. “I’m doing this because I love you.”

 

“Oh.” He absorbs that, then reaches for her again. “That’s fine too.”
