Title: You Don't Scare Me
Rating: PG
Summary: Three days and he already had a reputation.
Disclaimer: I do not own Lost. At all. I wish but alas...
Author's Note: Yet another drabble. 'Cause they're fun. :)



Three days and he already had a reputation. No one knew each other's names, but everybody knew his. There was a general murmur of 'Steer clear' and 'Try not to piss him off', but Claire had never paid attention to those kinds of things before, so she refused to now.

People weren't that easy, she knew. Thomas had been the sweetest, gentlest boy she had known. He was quiet and meek and, it turned out, a coward. First impressions. They were, so often, dead wrong.

So, when he approached her later that day, she had looked up at him patiently, with kind eyes and a gentle smile. He didn't scare her. She didn’t really understand why he scared anyone, even as he practically threw the wallets at her and almost ran off. It didn’t matter.

He may have had a reputation, but the fact that he had come to her at all meant a whole hell of a lot more to her than that.

Aww this was so sweet! I think Sawyer/Claire make cute friends, and even a cute couple.

That line just seems so very Claire! I love that she isn't afraid of him! You did such a nice job with this!

Thanks! :D I'm glad you liked it. I think that Claire and Sawyer would make great friends. Their dynamic on the show is interesting, and the potential it has is also intriguing.

Thanks for reading, hun. ♥

Wanna know a secret? I kinda love the idea of Sawyer/Claire, and while this was Sawyer, Claire, it kinda spoke to the reasons I think they'd work. This was fantastic, I loved your Claire lots.

(and how many Tom's are there on this show, huh?)

I really like the Sawyer/Claire dynamic, or, rather, the idea of the Sawyer/Claire dynamic as there isn't very much of it on the show. I love playing with that dynamic, and I'm so glad you liked the results. :)

(and how many Tom's are there on this show, huh?)

I know. Weird, huh? There's Claire's Thomas, there's Kate's Tom, there's gay!Tom, there's Christian calling himself Tom...that's a lot of Toms.

You know how much I love both Claire and Sawyer, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that I love seeing them together.

Maybe my memory isn't what it used to be, but I can't remember Sawyer being as unpleasant to Claire as he's been with others. At the same time, she's always been fairly polite with him. I love how you bring up Thomas, who looked like such a good boy but turned out to be the lowest kind of coward ever. At least Sawyer has never pretended to be the good guy.

I love seeing them together too. Their dynamic interest me a lot and it's a shame they're not allowed to interact more than they do.

Maybe my memory isn't what it used to be, but I can't remember Sawyer being as unpleasant to Claire as he's been with others.

You're right. Over the course of the series, he's pretty much been the nicest to Claire (I think the fact that she's a mother may have a little something to do with it too). I really think he has a soft spot for her, and she really doesn't have much of a reason to dislike him, because of that.

Thanks for reading, hun, and for sharing your thoughts. ♥ I'm glad you liked this.
