Title: Departure
Fandom - Characters: LOST - Richard/Alex
Rating: PG
Prompt: Ocean
Summary/Notes: He’s no one’s reason. Future fic. Drabble. Sequel to like some junkyard dog.



It’s late afternoon when she finds him standing high on his hill, looking down across the waves below, his pack at his side, unmoving. Like always.

"They’ve come back for us," she says, though she knows it doesn’t matter.

He could always leave.

"For you," he corrects her, because he’s no one’s cause, no one’s reason.

The distance dissolves between them, her lips at his salty throat, a need she never expected.

He was a pawn.

"Come with me?" The words are hollow because she knows he won’t, his eyes cast ever seaward, waiting for something else.

But not this.

I love how you have continued off of your previous stories, keeping things in the same verse. It's easier to follow that way, and it makes it all the more involving.

For you, he corrects her, because he’s no one’s cause, no one’s reason.

I love that line like you have no idea. It's so perfect.

Great job, you always leave me wanting more.

Hee! Thank you. I'm really loving working with these two and this 'verse. It totally comes from my desire, nay, NEED, to know what Richard is all about. We've seen so little of him and it's just, ahhh. It boggles.

Thank you!!! :D
