Shawn and Belle Fan Fiction.  Section one: Letting Down the Walls.  Chapter seven

    Shawn went up to the kitchen and found the aloe behind a carton of milk.  He took it down the hall and let himself in her room.  "Here, sit down" he said.  She sat on the edge of the bed and he climbed up behind her.  She brushed her long hair out of the way and he took some and put it on her shoulders.  She arched her back.  "That's cold!" she said, pulling away a little.  "Well, yeah, that's the point" Shawn said.  He lifted the bottom of her tank top and put some there and then moved his hand upward.  Halfway up, he realized that she didn't have anything on underneath her top.  This completely blew his mind and he couldn't think straight anymore.
     "Did I miss anything?" he asked.  Belle pointed to a spot between her shoulder blades.  Shawn put a little on the spot and, for reasons unexplained, he leaned over and gently kissed the spot.  Belle spun around quickly.  "Why did you do that?" she asked quietly.  "Umm" Shawn stalled.  He didn't know why he had done it.  "Because it felt right" was what he wanted to say but he knew that it wouldn't work.  "Remember when me, you and Brady went roller-skating?  We were like 7 or 8".  Belle looked at him with her blue eyes, trying to remember.  "You were trying to keep up with us and you fell," Shawn continued.  "Brady went to go get your mom and..."
      "I remember" Belle said, slowly.  "You stayed with me and held my hand.  And when you asked if it hurt a lot, I said yes, and you kissed it, saying it would make it better".  Shawn laughed.  "I was just attempting to work my magic again on you" Shawn siad, pleased that he had covered himself well.  Belle looked at him.  "Don't you with that would work for anything?" she asked.  "Like now that we're almost adults and our lives are so complicated.  To just have someone kiss you and make it all better".  They just stared at eachother.  "All you have to do is kiss me Belle and it would make my life a little less confusing" Shawn thought to himself.  Belle broke the mood by jumping up and continuing to unpack.
    "I thought you said you were going to help me," she said, opening up another bag.  "Ok, I will" he said.  He reached into another bag and peeked in.  "I think you better take care of the top stuff first" he said, handing it over to her.  She reached in and took out two bras and a few pairs of panties.  "What, you've never seen them before?" she said, jokingly as she shoved them into a drawer.  "Just the lacy ones I wear" he said, with a smirk.  Belle threw a pillow at him and he helped her unpack the rest of her bags.  Belle then began to organize her make-up and Shawn lay on her bed and they talked.  Soon there was a knock at the door.  Greta stuck her head in.
     "Hey, we're back, so you guys can come and watch the movies with us" she said, coming in.  She was soaking wet and her hair was matted to her head.  "What did you get?" Shawn asked, standing up.  "Go ask Eric, I had nothing to do with the choices" she said, holding up her hands.  Shawn let himself out the door.  "Belle, do you mind if I borrow a hair tie?  My hair got trashed in the rain".  "I'll do it for you when we watch the movie.  Please?  It'll be fun," Belle said.  "Well...ok!" Greta said, grinning.  Belle grabbed some hair things and they went downstairs to the tv room.  Shawn was already stretched out across a couch and Eric was reclining in an armchair.  Belle sat down on the other couch and Greta sat on the floor in front of her.
     "What did you get?" Belle asked.  "Well, we got 'Cruel Intentions'" Eric said.  "And for me and Shawn, we got 'Tommy Boy'".  Belle groaned.  "Eric, I've seen that move a hundred times!" she complained.  "That's awesome!" Shawn said.  "I love that movie.  Let's watch it first".  He ran up and put it in the VCR.  Belle settled back to watch the movie again.  She brushed out Greta's long hair and played with it through most of the movie.  After she was done, she sat back and watched the end. She liked it ok but Eric and Shawn laughed at it as if it was the funniest movie ever made.  When it was over, Shawn got up to rewind it.
     "Who wants to watch it again?" he asked, and Belle threw a pillow at him.  Hope let herself in the room.  "Hey, guys, how are the movies going?" she asked.  "Fine, mom" Shawn said.  "What's up?"  "We're all going to bed, it's been a long day, so I wanted to say good-night to you all" she said.  "Ok, night mom" he said, giving her a kiss.  "Night everyone" she said, as she let herself out again.  "I'm going to get a drink, you guys want anything?" Shawn asked, walking up to the door.  "Can you get me a glass of water, please?" Belle asked.  Shawn ran upstairs and Greta walked over to Eric.  "You look great, babe" He said, pulling her on his lap.  Belle tried not to watch and Greta struggled to her feet again.  They got up and settled on the couch Shawn had been sitting on.  Shawn came back in again.
     "Hey, you stole my seat" he said.  "Shawn , let them sit there" Belle said.  "But I wanted to lay down" he whined.  "You can stretch out here, we can work something out" Belle said, sitting up.  She took her glass and Shawn settled himself on the couch with his head on a pillow in Belle's lap.  Eric started the next movie up.  Midway through the movie, something came over her and she shivered violently.  "Are you ok?" Shawn asked, sitting up.  "I'm fine, I'm just freezing," she said, crossing her arms across her chest.  Shawn touched her forehead.  "But you're face is on fire" he said, looking confused. 
     "It's probably from the sunburn" Eric said.  "Shawn, why don't you run up and get her a blanket?"  Eric paused the movie as Shawn ran upstairs.  He came back down carrying a big red blanket.  He gently pushed her forward on the couch and sat down behind her.  He stretched himself out and pulled her between his legs, with his arms around her. He wrapped the blanket around her and held it close against her.  Eric looked over and shook his head as he started the movie again.  Greta looked over sometime to see Belle sound asleep with Shawn gently stroking her hair.  She smiled and took Eric's hand in hers.  When the movie was over, Eric rewound it and Shawn gently shook her awawke.  She was so tired that she could barely keep her eyes open.
     "I'm going to help her upstairs," Shawn said, pulling her to her feet.  "Greta and I are going to stay up some more so have a good night you two" Eric said.  "Night" Belle mumbled, sleepily, as Shawn led her out the door and up the stairs.  He helped her into her room and closed the door behind him.  He went ot his room and stripped down to his boxers.  He went into the bathroom and brushed his teeth.  He was almost finished when Belle let herself in.  She smiled at him shyly as she brushed her teeth.  Shawn sat on the edge of the shower and watched her until she was finished.
      "Belle, I'm proud of us," he said, finally.  "Why's that, Brady?" she asked.  "Cause we didn't fight over anything stupid all day" he said. Belle smiled.  "You're right" she said.  "It was pretty easy too.  Think we can do it again tomorrow?"  "I think so," Shawn said.  He held out his arms.  "Do I get a hug for being good?" he asked.  Belle laughed.  "Of course" she said, walking up to him and putting her arms around his neck.  Shawn pulled her close and hugged her tight.  She pulled away and looked up into his dark brown eyes.  Without thinking, she stood on her tiptoes and gave him a kiss on the cheek.  She turned and hurried out of her side of the room.
     "Night, Shawn" she said, shutting the door behind her.  "Night" Shawn said, still standing in the same spot.  He put his hand up to his cheek and smiled as he turned.  He let himself out of the bathroom and climbed into bed.  "How am I supposed to sleep after that?" he thought to himself, as he rolled over.
