The sound of someone pounding on your front door startled you. You rolled over in your bed, groaning as you glanced up at the clock. It was late, 11:45 pm. You ran your fingers through your hair, making your way to the bedroom door and grabbing your robe off the hook.
You padded groggily down the stairs, peering through the small peep-hole before sighing. Finn Shelby stood on your doorstep, his face splattered with blood – not his own, by the looks of it. He looked dishevelled. He must have tagged along with his brothers on some deal or something.
Pulling the door open, you took in the sight of your best friend. He slumped against your door frame. You grabbed his arm, peering each way down the road to make sure no-one had seen him here and then dragged him inside. You quickly clicked the latch down on your door and guided Finn to the kitchen, pushing him into a chair before retrieving a bowl and cloth.
You began running the hot water, holding your hand under the stream as you waited for it to warm up. “What happened this time?” You asked, looking over your shoulder at him and raising an eyebrow.
He turned his head to face you as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a carton of cigarettes. He held it out to you, but you shook your head, declining his offer. He shrugged and took one out, striking a match to light it. He shook the match out as he took a long drag and then rubbed his eyes with the palms of his hands.
“Doesn’t matter.” He mumbled, giving you a look which you understood meant not to press the matter. You took the now filled bowl from the sink and placed it on the table next to him, dipping the cloth in the warm water and wringing it out.
“Let’s just get you cleaned up.” You sighed, bringing the cloth up to his face to dab off the dried blood first. He nodded, giving you a weak smile and closing his eyes, allowing you to clean him up. You smiled a little; somewhat glad he always ended up at your doorstep when he needed someone to nurse him back to health.
When you had finished cleaning all the blood off, you emptied the water into the sink. You reached for a bottle of anti-sceptic and a clean cloth. You moved back over to where Finn sat, kneeling on the cool tiles of the kitchen floor as you began dabbing at the small cuts on his face.
He flinched slightly at the touch, but you just continued to dab away. When you’d finished, he gave you a grin. “Why do you always help me, (Y/N)?” He asked, tilting his head slightly to the side. You rolled your eyes, a smile playing on your lips.
“I love you, Finn.” You said absent-mindedly, flinging the cloth into the sink. You stopped in your tracks as your brain registered what you’d just said. You stood facing the sink, your back to Finn, your eyes wide.
Slowly, you turned to face him. He sat still as a statue, looking at you with an incredulous expression. “I-I-uh-” You stuttered over your words, trying to backpedal and cover up your statement. You felt your cheeks heat up, embarrassment flooding over you.
Eventually, Finn chuckled slightly, pushing himself up out of the chair and taking a few steps to close the gap between the two of you. Astonishment washed over you when he placed his hands on your waist, pulling you closer to him.
He tilted his head down to press his lips against yours, placing his hand on the back of your neck to pull you further into the kiss. Your breath hitched in your throat and sweet relief coursed through your body, coupled with burning desire.
Finn pulled away from you far too soon, placing his hands on your shoulders to rock you back on your heels. “You don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for you to say that, (Y/N).” He admitted, his gaze fixed on your eyes.

A/N - Hi Guys! I am so sorry for my inactivity recently, I have been absolutely swamped with work and I am also currently working on a SOA fic, which is taking up a lot of my time.
I have decided to make sure I write at least 1 one-shot per day for you (weekdays), so you can expect at least one per day! (If I miss a day for any reason, I will try my very best to give you 2 the next day!)
I love you all, thank you for bearing with me, it means so much to me!
