Fears and deeper thoughts (Harry)
Jess wasn't one to share what she really thought about things. She just kept a brave and stubborn face because she thought if she pushed herself long and hard enough that it would all become true. Of course that still didn't change her waking up freaked out in the middle of the night from a nightmare.

She stumbled in the dark to the kitchen intending on getting a drink to calm her nerves. But as she was getting the juice the worst thing happened.

Big. Hairy. Spider.

She squeaked and dropped both the juice and the cup scrambling backwards.

Oh for crying out loud. It's just a spider. That she can't let near her. It's obviously evil.

"Jess...you don't have to do that you know. None of us would be upset, I know I'm not." There's a reassuring smile that tells her that he really doesn't mind at all. He's spent a good chunk of his life listening to other people's problems, friends, family, even when he didn't really feel like he should. But he did realize through all that that bottling things up wasn't good for anyone, and he certainly didn't want her to do that. Not when he was willing to listen.

"I..." She pulls her legs in close tucking them under her chin.

"I've been green longer than Heather has been all... you know. Crystaline. I've been good at covering up how it makes me feel. Everyone thinks I'm okay. and.... I would be if it was just my hair. But it's everything. I don't recognize myself most of the time. I don't feel like me. It's like being stuck in a body suit."

	Harry goes quiet, quieter than he already was, for a bit. He can't say anything about changes the entities have done to anyone, he's got it easy, and there's nothing he can say that will come across well given that fact. So he wraps his arms around her and pulls her in for a hug, "You're still you Jess." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No I'm not. I'm a college drop-out because this took away the one thing I ever wanted," Jess grumps but doesn't fight against him. She sees no reason to. He's trying to make her feel better. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm sorry Jess," he says quietly. He's not sure why he's apologizing, but he just feels like he should. She's lost a lot and has been holding it in for a long time it seems, so he holds her a little closer. He doesn't want her to think she's alone in all this. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-01-31 02:10 am UTC (link)
	Yeah it's hug time. She really doesn't want to talk about how much it hurts that she can't really be a cop. Not like this. And she doesn't think she's smart enough to be a lab technician. Which is dumb of her to think really. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Harry will continue to hug her until she decides to stop. She needs it and he's glad that she felt she could talk to him about all this. He hopes it helped, even just a little. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She's starting to feel better. She's very tired right now though. Slowly she lets go of him and rolls her shoulders while fighting a yawn. She's defiantly winding back down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-01-31 02:23 am UTC (link)
	He lets go of her and gives her a small smile. "You ready to go back or do you want to stay here for a bit?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-01-31 02:28 am UTC (link)
	"Just need to sit for a bit before that," she admits. "I'm tired and don't feel like moving." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-01-31 02:37 am UTC (link)
	"That's fine," he reassures her. "...Jess? I'm glad you decided to talk about it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-01-31 02:42 am UTC (link)
	"It's not easy to talk about," she admits uncomfortably. "Thanks for listening." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-01-31 02:46 am UTC (link)
	"I know, that's why I'm glad you did. If you ever needed to again...you can you know." For the first time tonight he blushes a little, he's been in his listen-and-comfort mode the whole time but now it slips a little, "No problem." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-01-31 03:28 am UTC (link)
	"Unload," she supplies with innocently raised eyebrows. Then it's just a simple act of blushing because he is. "Um. Yeah." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The innuendo goes right over his head at the moment, maybe another time he would have got it, he just didn't expect it now.

He sits there awkwardly wondering if he had managed to make the moment that way by blushing alone. He'd been doing so well about avoiding that too! Maybe if he said something to make her feel better...

"Um...well if it helps, you look good green Jess." He really means it in absolutely the best way, she really does look good green to him. Of course he hadn't known her before the whole thing but still, if someone could pull off green it should be complimented right?

	She had felt the need to tease him. Just to try and get rid of some of the tension she feels. She thought he might have chuckled too. She guesses that he didn't get the joke. And now he is complimenting her so she can feel herself blushing. "I... Um. Thank you. You don't need to...um." Aw hell this was awkward. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He blinks a little as it occurs to him that she seems to think he was only saying it to be nice. "Oh! No, I meant it. Really. I'm not just saying it." He rubs the back of his head and cringes a little thinking he managed to screw this up quite quickly. Great, if only he could be less awkward. "I'm sorry if I...I'm sorry!" Perhaps she took it badly? Wonderful, this was going downhill fast from his point of view. Well there goes that attempt at not making it more awkward.

	Oh geezs they're both terrible. "Harry. You don't have to be sorry. I'm just being weird 'cause I'm tired and still feeling kinda blue. And I ain't used to a guy not mindin' my skin being green without being a jerk about it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-01-31 04:37 am UTC (link)
	"Alright, I just didn't want you to think I was just saying it. But.." now he's frowning a tad, "being a jerk about it? What do they do?" He's not pleased about that at all and his face shows that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-01-31 04:44 am UTC (link)
	"It's nothing. Some guys just don't talk respectfully so I gotta remind 'em to mind their manners sometimes" Jess says with a shrug. "In case ya haven't noticed Harry, I'm in good shape. Guys notice that. Not every guy is nice.... most guys are though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-01-31 04:56 am UTC (link)
	"I noticed!" He's frantically waving now trying to explain himself, "It's just that...I didn't think there'd be that many jerks. I mean, you'd think they'd know to be nicer to a girl they like. Seems a little stupid. I hope they didn't bother you all that much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-01-31 05:11 am UTC (link)
	She tries so hard to not giggle snort at him. He's a really sweet guy. "Aw hell Harry. Yer really nice." She flushes slightly. "Yeah. Being able to not get harassed would be nice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-01-31 05:17 am UTC (link)
	He turns somewhat red at the compliment, "Thanks, I uh..." He trails off not sure really how to take that. There's an amused smile aimed her way now and he jokes a little, "You can ask, I'll offer to get you away from them in a flash." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-01-31 05:22 am UTC (link)
	Now she just slowly grins. "Why Harry, you planning on saving a damsel in distress?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-01-31 05:31 am UTC (link)
	He blushes a little but manages to stay composed enough to actually answer back, "I don't think you'll ever need much saving but...I don't mind offering to do it. Seems like a good job." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
