Title: Far away from dry land
Characters/Pairings: Charlie Hume, Clementine; hints at Clementine/Charlie.
Summary: "This ain't the Thames, honey".

Disclaimer: I don’t own LOST.

A/N: Written for lost_in_108 , prompt #81: catch. Title from Fisherman’s Blues by The Waterboys. Don’t even ask why I wrote this XD (it was this or a Danielle/Sayid drabble).

------------------------------------

Charlie closes his eyes in anger, his old fishing rod barely moving. The cold water makes him shiver; a merciless downpour falls over his shoulders as he replaces the bait again, but he doesn’t move a single muscle.

I’m gonna catch a bloody fish this time - he stubbornly thinks, happy memories of boats making him miss the real world.

He sees the devious sea creatures as monsters; always laughing at his helpless attempts (You’ll never understand how it works, Hume).

“Did you realize this ain't the Thames, honey?” - Clementine whispers in his ear.

The fishhook starts to move violently, a smile shines in the middle of the storm.
