He was still reeling. Sure, it had been more than 24 hours, but that didn't stop it from hurting. It had been weeks since Cutter, and months since Stephen, and those still hurt. Well... Less Stephen now that he was...well, here. But it still felt weird. And now, seeing it the way he had, unable to do a thing, had been downright painful. It had felt as awful as if he were sitting by Cutter's side, being told to do nothing all over again. Only Kimberly hadn't told him to do nothing. Well, she had. Sort of. But only if Fate were playing its part. That wasn't fate. That was cold, calculated, twisted and manipulative murder.

Connor slowly and painfully woke up from his position where he'd clearly just been dropped off wherever the powers that be had chosen. Fuckers. The others that had been in that stupid pharmacy with him were there, too. Was he going to stop and chat? No. As soon as he got his bearings, figured out where he was, and grabbed his well-loved fedora off the ground, he took off.

At first he wasn't sure where to go. Going back to the gym sounded possible. Go back to where he was at least somewhat safe, where Chris and the others usually were. Or maybe he could go by the clock tower, where they'd first met. A proper mourning, really.

But his body must have known before he did where he was going. It would hurt, but he had to go back to their saferoom. The place he'd worked so hard on for her, to keep her safe. The place where only a few nights before, he'd lay curled at her side, hoping she was warm enough and worrying about the next day. Even walking in there would make him feel about two inches tall, but he had no choice, really. His journal was in there and what few supplies he had.

The door to the library made an extra loud squeak in the early morning silence and Connor froze before realizing no one was actually around for it to bother. With a mournful sigh, he walked the rest of the way inside, glancing towards the office they'd been using. He couldn't do it. Not yet. So he wandered instead. Browsing the shelves, glancing over books that hadn't entirely molded and fallen apart. Maybe one day he'd get the urge to actually read one. Maybe.

As Connor told her why he hadn't replied to her on the journal and went on to tell her who was with him where he'd been locked up, Kimberly joined him in a quiet laugh. "Told you she was batshit," she teased. Kimberly's smile melted away and she let out a soft breath when Connor nuzzled her face with his own. Swallowing thickly, Kimberly tried to ignore the fluttering in her stomach and the way that her heart raced. That was the point at which Kimberly really realized just how much Connor had come to mean to her in such a short time. It wasn't new for her to feel so much so soon, especially after Thomas, but she hadn't really realized that Connor made her feel that way. She knew she cared about him and she knew that he made her feel happy and safe, but she hadn't really put it all together until just then.

But then he moved on. Kimberly nodded and took another deep breath. "Right, yeah, might wanna do that. Make sure your other friends know you're okay," she agreed. For a moment, she just stayed in place, eyelids fluttering closed as she let out a soft hum of relaxation at the sensation of Connor's fingers in her hair. Her eyes opened again and she looked into his for a short moment. Clearing her throat, Kimberly gave him a sheepish smile. "I should, uh...move then, huh? So you can do that," she replied with a small smile.

Except, I don't want to, she thought. Kimberly laid still, her hand moving from his cheek and into his hair briefly before she gave him another small, sheepish smile and let her hand fall away. If that wasn't going to warrant some kind of response from him other than an agreement that she should get up so he could write his other friends, nothing was.

God, mixed signals left and right, Temple. So many he was confusing even himself. He should get up and at least scribble a journal entry to Stephen and Tonks and Chris and Andy and see if they'd come out of the last three days. Or he should tell Kimberly that he'd meant every word he'd said, even if it had only been said when it did because he was afraid she'd never hear it again. He could gently move her or he could snog her.

And it was that last thought that had him flushing pink, glancing away from her searching gaze. How was he to know where her thoughts were right then? Hell, Connor didn't even know where his own thoughts were yet. But he did know he couldn't complain about having her so close. He liked it. A lot. In a way he'd only ever actually felt with Abby. Not even Caroline had given him that warm rush that was shooting through his body at that moment. So what made Kimberly so special that his eyes kept drifting to her lips instead of the rest of her face like a normal person?

So he settled on something in the middle. Not rushing to get away from her, but not pressing his lips gently to hers, either. "Want to explain to me why it scared me half to death when I thought you were gone even though I've known you, what, a week?" Because you were falling for her hard and fast, Temple, but lord knew he wouldn't be saying that out loud. Maybe.
