    Author Notes:

    Shane’s past… getting to know Bette

    It was close to 1am when Bette admitted to needing sleep to function in the morning. I re-dressed, and started heading towards her front door. I turned to thank her for the evening, when she jumped in over me. “Would you like to stay the night? It’s a bit late to be driving, especially after several beers and many margaritas later. It’d be no problem, you know.” Another line to cross. No and you’re back on the streets or your truck, the hour being too late to get into a shelter for the night. No and you’re possibly insulting the first friend you’ve made in ages. Yes and you can have a real night’s sleep in years. Yes and you are letting her another step closer to you. . But then the next thought through my head, why does she want me to stay? Is this where I have to “pay” for dinner? As if reading my mind and what I was thinking, she raised her hands and stepped back.

    “No, no, nothing like that, just a place to crash for a night and sober up. No strings, I promise.”

    Well, this was new to me. I remember thinking the offer was too good to be true, and I really didn’t want to sleep in my truck that night

    “Sure, if you don’t mind. I’ll be gone and out of your way before you wake up tomorrow.”

    “Don’t be silly. It’s no trouble, and don’t worry about the morning. Have a sleep-in! At least one of us should! Let me get you some fresh towels so you can shower in the morning.” She walked off further into the house for towels. Fucking towels! I looked over at the couch, it looked so much more comfortable than the seat of my truck, and a hell of a lot more comfortable than the threadbare and lumpy mattresses in the shelters. I had sat down and started to take my boots back off when Bette returned to the living room, no towels in hand. She looked a bit confused, then smiled.

    1. I always thought Shane and Bette had an interesting relationship in comparison to the relationships they have with the other girls in the group. Thanks for highlighting it.

    3. kd I LOVE this fic!!!! I too have always loved Bette and Shane’s relationship, which I have always felt is the most true and the most loving, in a most subtle way, of all the relationships. Shane was the ONLY one to be there for Bette when she really needed a friend. They appear to be on opposite ends of the class spectrum but I think they are very alike inside, and have allowed each other glimpses into that pain..that others don’t see. I also think that they would be hot together..God yes…if even only for one night…so if you are heading this way, kd, a sharing of physical love, in time…I am so here!!!!!!!!

    4. Just caught up with your previous chapters. Your writing feels very refreshing and I’m glad to read about Bette and Shane. More importantly Shane. You aren’t heavy with words so the flow is smooth and I can actually picture Shane’s mode and attitude through your words. Impressive. Bette’s character also comes through quite well (re: ‘you won’t win this argument’ look) and the contrast (socially anyway) of Bette and Shane is interesting to explore in addition to the sublime similarities of their inner selves. While I couldn’t vouch for a Bette and Shane romance (lol really, I refuse to picture that myself…not without coercion 8D), it would be an ingenious endeavor if you were able to work with that line. I remember reading something with Alice and Shane of this nature, though I’ve never seen anything like this (or as good) with Bette and Shane. So KD, long story short, you have me for the ride 8D. Looking forward to more.

    6. Hi here I am again. I just read this again,after my initial joy at finding a Shane and Bette fic, and realized how well written it is, how Shane is written with such nuance, and Bette being able to establish bonds with Shane, and help her, without frightening or patronizing her. Excellent fic!! Post soon please.
