Kira Ford

[ooc: For scienceinblack, who requested Tommy/Kira for Better Than Drugs by Skillet from my music meme list.]

feel your every heartbeat
feel you on these empty nights
calm the ache, stop the shakes
you clear my mind
you're my escape
from this messed up place
cause you let me forget
you numb my pain

Kira lowered her head for one last kiss, slow, soft and deep, before she rolled off him. Before her back hit the bed, he was on his side, arms around her and pulling her toward him again. She smiled as she closed her eyes and rested her head against his chest.

"Just can't let me go, can you?"

She heard Tommy's soft chuckle as he tightened his grip ever so slightly. "I wish I didn't have to."

"It's not like I won't be back."

He paused slightly before answering. "You don't know that, Kira."
