Note; This is an AU story in which Juliet and Kate went to the beach after Left behind and now they go back for Jack. Also I pretty much screwed all timeline stuff so just see it as a small fun text.
“You’re an idiot.” The words travelled from the brunette’s mouth back at her companion. “An Idiot!”
Juliet sighed.
“IDIOT.”
“Yes.” Juliet sighed. “You did mention something along those lines earlier.”
“I mean, how stupid could you get?”
“If I worked hard I bet I could beat this kind of stupid.”
Kate turned and sent her a death stare. “All you had to do was keep track of Hurley and Sawyer. Did you do that? Nooooo, you lost them.” Kate threw her arms out. “You LOST them on a trail as big as a freaking highway.”
Juliet looked down at her feet.
“What kind of other are you anyway? You can’t even keep track of two men, how can you pretend to own this island?”
“Never said I owned the island Kate.”
“Whatever.” Kate begun walking again, keeping her pace faster and faster.
Juliet touched the small of her back where her jeans felt oddly empty. She looked at the woman speeding along in front of her, the familiar steel sticking up outside of her tank top.
“Kate!”
No answer.
“Kate!”
The brunette turned.
“I just thought I would let you know you’re going the wrong way.”
“I think I would know if I walked the wrong way.”
“And I wouldn’t?” Juliet smirked. “We are going to my house after all. I think I…”
Juliet froze as a clicking sound echoed through her eardrums. Kate starred at her, then she slowly moved back towards the blonde woman.
“Do not move.”
“I wasn’t planning to.” Juliet took a breath. Then a second one. Slowly stabilizing her breathing and slowing her heart. She looked up at Kate’s worried face. “It’s a trap, right?”
Kate looked everywhere except for her face. Slowly she nodded.
“It seems like it. Probably one of Rousseau’s”
“So, what do we do?”
“Well you either need to move your foot and jump or move your foot and duck.”
“And if I chose the wrong one I….what? Get a coconut in my head?”
“I ended up in a net, Charlie almost got an arrow through his throat.”
“Great.” Juliet nodded. She looked around. “Jump or duck, huh?”
“Yup.”
A cracking noise above them caused Kate to look up.”You’re gonna have to decide.”
“Okay. I think I will jump.” Juliet nodded. “Jumping is more hard core than ducking.”
Another crack and Kate leaped. The bang echoed around them even before Juliet felt her back hit the ground. Then quiet. A second of quiet that soon exploded with sounds. First she heard Kate’s heaving breathing, then branches which slowly seemed to fall from the sky. The last sound coming back was her own cry as the pain hit her.
“Juliet.” Kate lifted her head up, blocking all of the blonde woman’s view. “Are you okay?”
“No.”
“At least you’re alive.” Kate turned her head to the side and let out a deep sigh. Not showing any signs of moving.
“You know Kate.” Juliet spoke between short ragged breaths. “As much as I do like this girl on girl action maybe you could move so I could use my lungs again?”
Kate refused to meet Juliet’s eyes as she moved; slowly rolling off the body she had just saved. Juliet tried not to focus on the fact that her lungs didn’t work better, or that she seemed to miss the weight of Kate’s body, the heat of Kate’s breath on her sunkissed skin. She closed her eyes and sat up.
“Does it hurt?”
Juliet starred at her left leg where an arrow was stuck, causing hot lines to trail down into the grass. Then she looked at Kate. “Yes it does.” She put one hand on the end of the arrow and the other on her leg.
“Wait!” Kate put her hand over the one clutching the arrow. “I have seen enough episodes of ER to know you should not pull something out that is inside of you.”
“I’m a doctor Kate.”
“And I am pretty sure we declared you stupid before.” Kate added. “You should not pull that out. You might bleed to death.”
“I can’t walk around with an arrow in my leg!”
“Well you can’t walk around if you bleed to death either!”
“Injuries are not the same here.” Juliet examined the arrow closer. “We have to push it out.”
“We?”
“I need you to hold my leg.”
Juliet used the hole from the arrow and ripped off the bottom part of her jeans. She pulled the remaining fabric up as far as she could. Carefully she moved until she was sitting with her back against a tree.
“I will try not to take that has a crappy pick up line.”
Juliet rolled her eyes.
“Fine, tell me what to do.”
“One hand here.” Juliet guided Kate’s right hand to her calf. “And the other.” She placed Kate’s left hand to hold her upper thigh. “Now don’t let the leg move or I might kick you.”
“Well then I might slap you.” Kate muttered just loud enough to make Juliet smile.
“Ready?”
Kate nodded.
“Good.” Juliet closed her eyes, held harder on the arrow and blocked out the feeling of Kate’s fingers against her exposed skin.
Then she pushed.
The arrow slid out of her hand and onto the ground. Bloodstained.
Kate looked around, then her eyes landed on Juliet’s chest. Without a word she started to unbutton the shirt.
“Is this your way of a better pick up line?” Juliet tried to smirk but the smile turned in to a grimace of pain.
“Juliet, shut up.” Kate pulled the shirt off the blonde woman’s shoulder, leaving her in just a white tank top. “And just so you know, if I did hit on you, you wouldn’t need to ask if I was doing it.” She tied the shirt tightly around the open wounds on Juliet’s leg.
Juliet closed her eyes and leaned against the tree behind her. “Good to know.”
A crack of thunder roared above them. “You have got to be kidding me.” Kate cried. Looking at Juliet she sighed again. “We have to move.”
“Yeah. We should take shelter somewhere.” Juliet grabbed the tree behind her and slowly tried to stand up.
“You doing good there?” Kate chuckled as Juliet fell down on her butt again.
The blonde shot her an evil stare. “You could help, you know.”
“And miss this? No way.” Despite her words Kate offered her hand to Juliet and helped her stand up on her healthy leg.
“Thank you.”
“Anytime Julie, anytime.” Kate pulled Juliet’s arm over her shoulders just as the first rain drops fell from the sky.
“Did you just call me Julie?”
“So?”
“Never mind.” Juliet tried to jump forward but cried out in pain.
“Maybe we should stay here and…”
Juliet took another step, cried out again, tried for a third step and then sunk to the ground, pulling Kate with her.
“Anyone ever tell you you’re stubborn?” Kate smirked at Juliet’s pouting face.
The rain fell heavier for every passing second and Kate looked around. “We should find shelter somewhere.”
Juliet looked around as well. “We’re in a jungle yet not a single bush? One tree is all we have for company?”
“Seems like it.” Kate helped Juliet to move back to the tree, once again leaning her back against it.
Juliet didn’t notice the tears from the rain until Kate used her thumbs against her cheeks to brush them off. “Hey, it will be okay.”
“Easy for you to say. You didn’t get stuck in a trap and shot on your way to save some stupid man who does not wish to be saved.”
“So screw Jack.” Kate scooted closer and leaned her head in closer as to use the few leaves from the tree to shield her face from the rain. She rested her cool fingers against Juliet’s thigh and Juliet involuntarily tilted her head to meet Kate’s eyes.
“Haven’t you done that already?”
To her surprise Kate smiled. “He’s not really my type.”
“Really?” Despite the rain Juliet slid her tongue across her lips to keep them from drying out.
“Really.” Kate leaned in more, bringing their faces close together.
Juliet’s eyes slid shut as they continued to move towards each other ever so slightly. She reached out, resting her hands on Kate’s hips instinctively. Kate rested her forehead against Juliet’s and for a second the blonde tried to remember how to breathe.
Kate’s lips were softer than she had imagined. They barely touched hers at first, as if she urged Juliet to want it and claim it. So Juliet did. She leaned in closer, meeting Kate half way, deepening the kiss and opening her mouth. She cursed the rain in that moment. Yes, Kate’s clothes were like a second skin against her body and she could feel her wet curls tickling her neck - but the water softened the taste that was simply Kate.
Juliet stopped cursing the rain when Kate moaned into her mouth, slowly pulling in Juliet’s bottom lip in her mouth and sucked on it until Juliet matched the moan. She trailed her fingers from Kate’s hips to the edge of her tank top and the slick skin on her back. The cold metal of the gun made her pause. Kate’s lips found their way down her neck as Juliet folded her fingers around the gun.
Kate moved in for another, shorter kiss before she leaned back and rested her forehead back against Juliet’s. “And that is how you would know if I was hitting on you.” She smirked.
“Yes.” Juliet nodded. “I got that now.” She pulled the gun out of Kate’s jeans.
“Hey!” Kate grabbed her hand.
Juliet simply kissed her. A small peck on the lips causing Kate to smile.
“I am just making sure I get to lead. I refuse to walk in circles following you on one leg.”
“Idiot.” Kate muttered quietly.
Juliet smirked. “Maybe. But you like me anyway.”
Shaking her head Kate sighed.
