Title: Keep It In Rating: PG Wordcount: 116 Pairing: Jon/Kel Round: 1/F Summary: Embedded in my chest/And it hurts to hold Notes: The fourth in a series of vignettes based off the lyrics for the song 'Night Time' by The Xx.
-
Sometimes, the words threaten to spill out like an overturned glass: I love you I love you, despite their heavy, heady meaning. Kel returns from the north with pale skin and winter-chapped lips, but she does not run into Jon’s waiting arms.
It pains him, surprisingly so, this blunt force trauma to his heart. He does not know what he was expecting-- not her genuflecting in front of him, but he was expecting something, something besides the winter chill she seems to have carried down south.
It always seems that the mode to express such things flees him, but it is even harder when there is no one to tell it to.

Just lovely. I love the imagery - that Kel brings the winter chill with her, and how Jon expects her to have changed because his feelings have.
