Palo Alto, CA- Sunday Fandom time

[solo_sword]

To be completely honest, Jaina had spent a large part of her visit (namely, the parts when John wasn't around) bored out of her mind. Time moved too fast for work to catch up to her here, and she was dying to find someplace she could actually practice lightsaber drills. But time alone while he was at school or training meant she was expanding her horizons a bit. Or at least it meant that she got bored enough to attempt dinner on her own, even if it was just pasta. She was relatively sure she couldn't food poison anyone with it.


[For the boooooooooy.]

"Would that count as punishment?" John teased, leaning down to kiss her on the cheek because he didn't want to die, no.

[solo_sword]

"You think you're so cute," she said, swatting him lightly.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

He grinned smugly because he knew he was. "Maybe so."

[solo_sword]

"You're not supposed to agree with that," Jaina teased, reaching past him to get to the plates. "It messes up our routine."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Is our routine me saying that it's not me thinking I'm cute, it's the part where I am cute and you're very aware of it that's a problem?" So innocent, this one.

[solo_sword]

"I'm not saying I'm aware of your cuteness or lack thereof." Liiiies.

"Don't have to be a Jedi to know that's a lie," John told her, finding the necessary silverware in a drawer.

[solo_sword]

"Oh, you think?" she asked, raising a challenging eyebrow as she got the plates together.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"I know," he confirmed. "But it's okay, if you're afraid to admit you're affected by me, I'm fine with it."

[solo_sword]

"I'm not afraid to admit anything," Jaina said. "There's just the possibility that I'm not affected." More liiiiies.

"And all it took was two months living here to get you over me," he tutted, knowing she was still lying.

[solo_sword]

"Or I became immune," she shrugged. "All that time together, you know."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Guess we need a few months apart to get things back to normal," he suggested.

[solo_sword]

She meant the frown. Even if it wouldn't be months for her. "Define normal."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Normal being the way we are...normally." There, he could define it using the word, it counted.

[solo_sword]

"Somehow I don't think tha works," she mused, setting the plates down.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

He followed her and blinked adorably. "It could."

[solo_sword]

"Don't try for cute," Jaina said again. "There will be no full circle here."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Fine," he said. "I'll eat my dinner and be ugly. Will that make you happy?"

[solo_sword]

"I'm pretty sure I never said 'ugly'," she said quickly.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"So I'm not allowed to be cute and I'm not supposed to be ugly...what's the middle called?"

[solo_sword]

"Normal," she said, making a playful face at him.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Ha ha," he rolled his eyes and took a seat.

[solo_sword]

"Yes, I'm hilarious," she said with a grin as she sat down. "How was today?"

If anyone had ever told her she'd ask that question over dinner she'd made, Jaina wouldn't have believed them.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

Seriously surreal experience right there. "Good," he said slowly. "In that I didn't fall asleep in class and actually turned in a paper on time."
