a stroll back to town - missing 1x08 scene
A missing scene immediately following the wondrous 1x08 clifftop kiss and Sidney and Charlotte’s return to town.
A/N: I was thinking about this the other night and then all of a sudden everyone on tumblr and on ao3 was like “what do you think happened?!” so here’s my take!
They stood in the tugging clifftop wind, heads tilted toward each other, hands resting atop each other’s jackets. Sidney’s, rough and stiff under Charlotte’s small hands. Charlotte’s much softer and gentler under his own.
“Sidney,” Charlotte said, her breath nearly completely taken away from her, eyes lingering shut, desperately wanting more.
He smiled, ever so slightly, at hearing his name on her lips. “Yes?”
She opened her eyes slowly, the tip of her tongue momentarily seen between her lips before she took the tiniest of steps back, nearly drawing him with her. He would have gladly followed, wanting nothing more than to keep her here with him, digging his hands into her wild hair and kissing her until the sun set. But all fanciful desires aside, he was equally contented to have this moment with her.
Charlotte did not typically indulge in selfish behavior. It wasn’t in her nature, but even as her good sense was telling her they should now part and head back to town, keeping a respectable distance from each other, she found herself doing the opposite.
She surprised him by tugging at the lapels of his jacket and kissing him, soft and nervous at first, but accepting of his more experienced guidance. His hands hugged her waist and one of her arms slipped between his jacket and vest, pulling their bodies closer.
Her body flushed with heat from her toes to her cheeks.
