Grounded (PG-13)scifishipperApril 15 2012, 14:25:01 UTC
The sweat on their bodies dries quickly in the cold night air, leaving them shivering on the cold hard ground. Lee pulls his uniform jacket over their nakedness, pulling Kara in close.
He feels her muscles tense, his heart ticks in panic. "Kara?”
"I need to get back." She moves away from him, reaching for her pants, avoiding his eyes.
"Back to Anders," he snaps, staring at her back.
“Just back.” Her voice is tight.
“Yeah, right.” There’s nothing here. I just wanted a good lay. Only this time he thought it meant more.

This was supposed to be a drabble, but I just couldn't stop writing until it was a little more than twice the word count of a drabble. Oh well...

As their breathing slows to a normal pace and the sweat cools on their bodies, Kara tries to keep her thoughts quiet, as they had been just minutes before. When Lee pulls his jacket around them and wraps his arm around her, it's the last straw. The doubt and fear come rushing back, bringing with them the ever-present need to run. She tenses, her mind screaming at her to get back to where it's safer. Back to Sam.
I can't do this. Need to get out of here. "I need to get back." She quickly separates herself from him and stands up, pulling on her clothes, afraid she'll lose any determination she has if she's near him

If only she would realize that her running away causes him more pain than she would by staying. Then it would be less painful all around (shippers included). I'm glad you liked it, as angsty as it was!

Lee feels the shape of her ass under his palms, muscular and warm through her panties. He's moving slowly, fingers tracing the curves of her body, lips following a similar path, tasting, touching, licking.
Kara sighs, her body relaxing into him without the need to rush, or fight, or protect. They’re free to do what they want, without secrets or partners to hurt.
The urgency becomes discovery: a ticklish spot behind her knee, the way her breath catches when she anticipates his tongue, how she meets his eyes when she comes.

The tepid water trickles down on Kara as she leans against the wall of the shower. She idly counts the marks Lee left on her skin, wonders how many she left on him. Lee loves me. There's a bite on her right thigh, next to her blonde curls; there's the mark as wide as his hand where he held her while she came in his mouth. Everything will be hidden under her clothes. She licks her lips and tastes him again, this man she needs in the deeps of space, her best friend, her wingman. She smiles. I love Lee.

The tears quit falling, but they stay on her cheeks drying slowly until Lee begins to kiss them away. Kara sniffles one last time. Her mouth pulling into an unintentional smile as Lee’s lips brush over her skin.
His hands loose their grip on her arms and glide across her back. Lee pulls her close, squeezing like he’s never going to let her go, like he won’t ever let her go.
So Kara relaxes in Lee’s arms. She doesn’t know where she went or where they’re going next. But Lee believes she knows the way to Earth so she’s home.

They stand like that, wrapped together in the middle of Galactica's brig, until the marine guard bangs against the bars. "Five minutes, Mr. Adama

(And there's no need to constrain yourself to a drabble. Not required!) :D

He glares at her. "You're never going to decide, Kara. You want it both ways."
"No. I don't. I owe him, Lee. I made a vow." Her voice is filled with pain.
"And what about me? You said you loved me,” he accuses. He wants to grab her and shake a commitment from her lips.
Kara drops her eyes.
Her avoidance makes him want to run. He takes a calming breath instead.
“Please, Kara.”

How she says she needs him, too.
