He Says, She Says
Fandom: Pushing Daisies (ficlet)
Pairing: Unabashedly Ned/Chuck
Summary: It’s all about how they say it
Disclaimer: I only own these characters in my thoroughly romantic, yet twisted imagination
He Says It…
…with every longing glance, followed by a blush when she catches him staring
She Says It…
…by staying near, even though running to the other side of the world would be safer
He Says It…
…by sharing his world- the Pie Hole, the apartment, work with Emerson
She Says It…
…by agreeing to never contact her aunts, even though the promise breaks her heart
He Says It…
…by making the car safe for her to ride ‘shotgun’ - and to hold his hand
She Says It…
…by eating his pies, imaging how much better his lips would taste
He Says It…
…by giving her new bees even if it means getting stung, repeatedly
She Says It…
…by asking Olive not to show any more “innocent expressions of gratitude.”
He Says It…
… by resisting the intense urge to kiss her every time they’re in the same room
She Says It…
…by making sure there’s always plenty of plastic food wrap within reach
He Says It…
…by turning down her covers every night, while wishing they didn’t sleep in separate beds
She Says It…
…by telling him she would kiss him, if it wouldn’t kill her (but they both know it would)
He Says It…
…by losing his train of thought or stuttering when the sight of her overwhelms him
She Says It…
…by telling him they are an “us, just an us with special circumstances”
He Says It…
…by dancing on the rooftop with her in a beekeeper suit
She Says It…
..by holding his hand, even if it’s really only her own hand
He Says It…
…by being jealous when she looks at another guy
She Says It…
…by agreeing that yes, he is her boyfriend
He Says It…
…by telling her she’s the only one for him
She Says It…
…by wanting to know everything about him, even his secrets
He Says It…
…by telling the truth about her father, knowing that she might hate him
She Says It…
…by finding a way, as hard as it is for her, to forgive him
Although they never really say “those” three words to each other, each and every day they find ways to express the depth and breath of their feelings. And that’s almost as good as touching-at least, for now.
