"I would love to." Sera responded, piping up a little in her chair and leaning over closer to Jenny. "Maybe right when I get back, that way I can bring the pictures and stuff." Sera continued.

"Do you think it would be okay if I stayed for the night? I can sleep on the floor if you think it'd be too weird, after what happened." Sera tried to stop herself but the words just came out, bringing up the summer was the last thing she wanted to do. But she was a little curious to hear the answer none-the-less.

When Sera mentioned what happened, Jenny felt her cheeks flushing as she gave a nonchalant little shrug. "Whatever, you can sleep whereever. We have a guest room, if you.. feel like, uncomfy. But our bunks are doubles.. so, whatever, right?" Jenny replied, rambling a bit, and quickly trailing off.

"I don't care either way."

	Re: Sera/Jenny

Sera didn't really know what to think of Jenny's response but noticing that flush of pink that passed over Jenny's checks, she couldn't help but feel bad. She didn't mean to make her uncomfortable, again.

"Sorry." Sera replied, looking sincerely over towards Jenny, her eyes glued on the blonde. "You sure you don't care."

"I really don't care," Jenny replied quickly, shaking her head. "I'm good, honest. I'm not going to be all weird about this, it just.. happened, and that's fine. I was just being a weirdo. I don't even know why. But I'm fine, really, I am."

Sera paused, held her breathe for a second, exhaled and went for it.

She leaned forward, making sure only Jenny could hear, her chair screeched on the hard floor as she scooted her chair over a little closer. This was private. "Hey since we're kind of on the topic." And if you're really okay with it, Sera couldn't help but wonder. "Do you mind if I ask you something?"

Jenny blinked a little, but leaned in as well, keeping her voice just as low and conspiratorial. "No? I mean, I guess not. Why, what is it?"

"It just the day we kissed, I felt right and it didn't seem like it was just me?"

"You felt it a little too? That's why you got so freaked out?" Sera posed as a question, her head was down she was almost too scared to hear the answer, scared she'd been too forward. Shit this was a bad idea

Jenny tried desperately to keep her face from betraying any reaction to the brunette's words. It was hard though, her stomach doing a little flip, a clench of guilt passing over her. All of this time she'd been acting so weird about it, and never explaining herself. It was immature, and she felt bad. She supposed it was time to come clean.

"I felt plenty," Jenny replied, only adverting her eyes slightly. "I just.. I mean, I was.. I guess I'm okay with it. I've-- I've kissed other girls.. and stuff. Before.. well, girl, just one girl. A few times. But she's.. she's not into me like that. Which is okay, because I don't know if I'm into her.. like that," she continued, trailing off slightly.

It always felt good with Quinn, but they were so different. They only wanted one thing from each other, and Jenny could learn from her. She felt so much more vulnerable with Sera, and like she had so much more to lose. She was too different from Quinn. They weren't comparable, and yet they had to be. How could she ever explain?

"She's a senior anyway," she said finally, unsure what else to say next. It was getting awkward again, but she wanted it out there. "I feel a lot, when I'm.. around you. But we're friends first, aren't we? I don't want to lose my friend. Does that make sense?"

"A Senior really?" Sera questioned, a little hurt although trying not to let it be heard in her tone. "Do I, Uh know her?" She asked again, just trying to process what Jenny has just confessed to. She was mad sure, but Jenny was just being honest and she couldn't ignore that fact. She also couldn't ignore the fact that Jenny said she liked her, maybe not in those exact words, but they were close. She had worried about the friendship thing too, a lot actually. She knew exactly what Jenny was trying to say.

"We are definitely friends first." She smiled, finally forcing herself to really look at Jenny and actually making eye contact for the first time in a few minutes. "And I don't wanna lose you either. Like ever." She smiled again but just left it at that.

"Probably not. She's in Lalaurie," Jenny replied quietly, taking just a moment to bite at her lower lip. This was the first time she had spoken to Quinn about anyway, really; they had always operated on a sort of silent basis. She didn't talk much with Quinn, let alone about her. "Her name is Quinn. She's really.. she's quite nice, actually.." Jenny murmured, glancing up to meet Sera's eyes, offering a weak smile in return.

"Me either. It's something I just.. worry about.. if anything didn't go right, I mean.. you're amazing, you are, but I'm.. you don't have to deal with the kind of stuff I'm going through. All right? It's just kind of not a good time."

"Oh I think I know who you mean." I didn't know she was-- "Like I've seen her around and stuff." Sera continued, glancing around the room briefly, not that she wanted to the girl though.

She shifted her attention back to Jenny. For once she didn't really know what to say. She knew Jenny was scared and confused. "You're right, I'm sorry, I don't want my feelings for you to hurt our friendship. I can live with just being your friend" Sera tried to keep a smile.

Jenny looked fairly relieved, reaching across the table a little, hand offered to Sera. "I'm glad you understand-- I felt so weird, because I had all these like.. nightmare scenarios in my head, that you wouldn't wanna be my friend anymore, or you'd think I was like.. homophobic or something.. so I just like, avoided everything, and then that just messed up everything so much worse," Jenny explained, all in what seemed like a single breath.

"I'm sorry," she added finally, quieting.

"You didn't mess anything up. I understand completely." Sera offered back. "I was worried too, worried I'd freak you out too much and you'd hate me or something."

"So don't be sorry." She reached over under the table where no one would see and held Jenny's hand in her own for just a moment. "We're fine really, you're like my best friend." Sera was upset, but she couldn't let it show too much in front of Jenny.

	Sera/Jenny

Jenny squeezed Sera's hand in return, smiling slightly. There was a bit of a sadness to her expression, but the relief was clear. It felt like the air was finally free of tension compared to before.

"I shouldn't have reacted like that, I just.. didn't think. I should have explained myself from the start, but then things just.. didn't work that way. So I am sorry. You're like my best friend, too."

	Sera/Jenny

"Good." Sera smiled up at Jenny. "I wouldn't want it any other way." She laughed casually. Things were good, not awkward, not exactly what she wanted either but she was content.

"And don't worry about any of that stuff you told me either. You're secret--the whole Quinn thing is safe with me. You can talk to me about anything anytime, I mean that." Sera couldn't help but feel sad for Jenny, she knew what she was dealing with wasn't easy.

	Sera/Jenny

"Thanks," Jenny replied softly, reaching over to give her friend's hand another little squeeze. "I don't think you have much to worry about. I.. haven't hung out with her in a while. Not since that party Charlie had.. I mean, not that it matters. It's not like we're.. I dunno, dating or anything. We never were," she added, trailing off.

It was probably best to leave it at that. It was probably best not to mention how much she had thought about how things would have been if they had dated. She had known from the start, she wouldn't be anything but a friend with benefits for Quinn, but sometimes her heart had wandered. And she was a really good kisser.

"I appreciate all of this, Sera, seriously.. I know it's all kind of crazy. See what I meant when I said you didn't want to get in with me? Trainwreck," she half-joked.

"Did you ever want it to be more than that?" Sera asked before realizing maybe it was none of her business and she wasn't even really sure if she wanted to hear the answer. In fact she was pretty sure she didn't but she asked so it was too late to really think about all that now. "I mean if you don't mind me asking?" It hurt a little to know that maybe Jenny had feelings for another girl, but at least she hadn't been completely wrong about her. Maybe her gaydar wasn't quite as bad as she thought?

Sera let her hand squeeze back on Jenny's. "It's no problem really, I'm glad I could help out."

Jenny bit instinctively onto her lower lip for a moment, unable to help the busted look on her face. "Maybe a little," she admitted slowly. "But it's not going to happen, trust me. She's.. I just don't think it's going to happen. I knew what I was getting into, I'm not.. overly attached," she continued, once again trailing off.

"She's a really good kisser? Like, really good?" she offered, hoping to lighten the mood a little. "But she isn't into cuddling or any of that fun stuff.. well, sometimes she would let me hold her hand.. but I want all of that, if I want to really be with somebody. I want the whole thing. I want cuteness, closeness, just.. stupid, loving affection. I want that."

	Sera/Jenny

"Maybe she'll come around and want something more. You never know." Sera offered just trying to help. She really just wanted Jenny to be happy, but regardless of what she said she didn't want to see her end up with that Senior girl. Hearing Jenny talk about kissing her, only made matters worse, but Sera didn't let it slip.

"No cuddling really, that's like one of my favorite things to do." Sera laughed, "That's the important, cute stuff? I don't think I could be with someone who wasn't into all that." She continued still giggling.

	Sera/Jenny

"I doubt it. But like I said, I don't think she's into me like that. I don't think she gets into people like that, I don't think it's anything personal," she mused, shaking her head. This was the most she had ever really talked about Quinn. It was sort of embarrassing, but sort of cathartic.

"I need a cuddler. Especially in winter."

	Sera/Jenny

Sera couldn't help but grin. "Well I know were just friends and everything but you know if you ever need someone to snuggle with-" Sera cut herself off. "You know, I mean, if that wouldn't been too weird or anything."

"I've been told I'm an excellent cuddler." She teased.

Jenny laughed, sticking her tongue out at Sera. "I bet you have," she teased back. "Maybe if you're good," she added, standing up briskly from the table, and holding both of her hands out for Sera to take.

"Come on, let's dance. Enough of the sad whiny talk.. I came here to have fun. Didn't you?"

	Sera/Jenny

Sera just laughed and stood up to take Jenny's hands.

"Yeah for sure lets go." Sera said following Jenny from the table where they had been talking to the more crowded dance floor. "This place is too nice to waste the whole night talking" She giggled "and bonus I love this song!"
