Room 527, Tuesday morning

[solo_sword]

Jaina woke to a few thoughts in her head even in those first few seconds when you rightfully shouldn't be able to think of anything:

1. She had to get up and make her usual checkup calls back home and see what she'd been sent overnight.
2. She had class to go to.
3. She had enough time that she could spend a little while longer snuggled up to her boyfriend, all warm and comfortable.

Focusing on the third option for now, she slung her arm over him, pulling herself closer just because she could.

[Open door, open post! No, not really. For the bf who I totes modded, mwaahahaha.]

He nodded, knowing she couldn't just be saying that if he wasn't capable of just saying things. "I never intended to go anywhere if I could help it."

[solo_sword]

"I thought you'd seemed pretty set on it," Jaina said, almost feeling nervous now that all this was out there.

"Last time I was sure of that was before I got to visit your world and be of help to something real," John told her.

[solo_sword]

"And now it doesn't feel right when you're not there," she said. "Should I even be uncomfortable talking at this point?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Like I know," John shrugged. "I'm surprised I haven't made a big mess of things yet."

[solo_sword]

"You say things like that, but if you made a mess of things like you thought you did, you would have heard me bitching a lot more already."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"You give me too much credit with this stuff, and I said I was surprised, not that I actually had."

[solo_sword]

"Then stop being surprised," she said simply.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"I think I'm confused again," he admitted. "Usually I'd keep going and see where it went."

[solo_sword]

"It's been a confusing morning," Jaina said. "Think that means we can be normal now?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Yes, we should have sex." Blunt much?

[solo_sword]

"It would shut us up," she reasoned.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Or at least distract us from talking about anything serious for a while," he added. "But there's always the chance we'll just be oddly talkative about the sex."

[solo_sword]

"And while we have had sex talks before, we've never exactly gotten into specifics," Jaina said. "Though either way it would keep me away from the comm which I can't use today if I'm going to be like this, which may have me twitching in about an hour otherwise."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John blinked down at her. "When you say specifics you mean..."

[solo_sword]

"At this point I'd be worried that we'd be giving each other running commentary," she explained. "The bonus is usually we can't manage words."

There may have been some blushing.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"I like it when you can't manage words," he told her. "It's hot to think I have anything to do with it and I'm gonna stop talking now, thanks."

[solo_sword]

"But I like knowing what's hot so I can do it more," Jaina said, and now she was facepalming.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Well, it's really hot when you get all controlling like when you order me around at work." The words tumbled out rapid-fire.

[solo_sword]

She raised her eyebrows. "You're thinking about that at work?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"I think about it all the time, oh shit."

[solo_sword]

"I feel like this shouldn't surprise me," she said, "but I'm still not used to anyone thinking of me like that. All the time."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I figured you'd say something like that. But I'm not the only one who thinks about you like that all the time, it's why I really don't like your friend the pop star," he added.

[solo_sword]

"Yeah, I know, but it's okay because he missed his chance." And now there was rubbing of the temples...

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"When did that jackass have a chance?" John asked incredulously.
