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.

	"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)

	greenwillpower 2012-01-31 05:39 am UTC (link)
	"Well... I don't mind it if you try protecting me sometimes," she decides and sends him a slightly playful look. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-01-31 05:48 am UTC (link)
	He's still a little red but grins a little now, "I wouldn't mind either. Did you need any...protecting any time soon?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-01-31 05:49 am UTC (link)
	Oh Harry. "Maybe at that.... shindig fer Heather? There's gonna be all kinds of people there," she points out. Oh god she's trying to get another date. Is she crazy? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-01-31 05:58 am UTC (link)
	Not crazy at all. Harry's both pleased and a little surprised. But she beat him to the punch and he's saved the embarassment of awkwardly waiting around for her answer or rejection. "I'd love to! I'll be your getaway too, just in case," he jokes. And yes now he'll be ver happy for a good while that he's got a date with her. The smile is hard to contain. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-02-01 12:13 am UTC (link)
	Eventually she'll need to be asked out instead. "That sounds great," she flashes him a smile and touches his arm in a friendly way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-02-01 12:42 am UTC (link)
	He was trying this time. Although now he knows his next attempt has a chance at working. "I'll pick you up at HQ?" He smiles, blushing slightly still, but clearly in a good mood. (Reply to this)(Parent)
