33 Apocalypse Avenue, Thursday Evening

[bitten_notshy]

Jack wasn't ready to say goodbye to Kaidan. He remained quite firmly opposed to this general trend of people leaving.

But if Kaidan was going to go fight purple blobby land jellyfish --or whatever he was up to -- he deserved a decent send-off. Which was why Jack had ordered several pizzas, laid in a few kegs of Canadian lager, and sent an email to everyone he could think of who might want one more chance to hang out with Kaidan.

A bad action movie played on the TV, though the sound was quite soft, and everything was ready for a low-key party.

"You have a disgustingly efficient healing ability, my wolfish boy," Emma pointed out, tapping him on the nose. "A tattoo wouldn't last ten seconds."

"So yes, I'll take that bet."

"You underestimate our ingenuity," Jack bantered back, amused, and turned his leg and rolled up his khakis so she could see his calf.

On it, she'd see something much like this.

"All it takes is a bit of flame."

Emma blinked. And opened and closed her mouth a few times, looking utterly stunned.

Emma, you look like a codfish. Stop that.

Finally: "I get points for not just looking in your brain and tell me you did not set yourself on fire."

"Not all of myself," Jack said, beaming at how stunned she was. Anytime he got to surprise Emma was extra-sweet. "Just, er -- a little bit of my leg. Which healed."

Clearly the responsible and mature response was to punch Jack in the shoulder. Not with a diamond fist, mind you, but she knew how to punch.

"And how, exactly did we learn that setting ourselves on fire makes tattoos stick?" Emma asked sweetly. "And how did we decide it was a good idea?"

Jack did not give her the satisfaction of wincing. "Derek knew," he said. "Are you happy about it nor not? Because if you aren't, I'll go find someone named Winter or Flake to date and say it's for them."

He was joking. Almost entirely joking.

Emma muttered some highly unflattering things under her breath in French about packs and wolves and pack dynamics and stupid horrible romantic boys who had more heart than sense because fire.

Then she decided the best course of action was to grab the back of Jack's head and kiss him. Hard.

Now that was a more satisfactory reaction to a boyfriend who was willing to light himself on fire for you. He kissed her back, leaning into in a way that put it right up to the border of what could be done in a room full of people.

Re: Arrive + Mingle [8/14]

[icecoldfrost]

Everyone was busy paying attention to Kaidan. Emma was going to press up against him, ignore that border, and thread her fingers through his curls while they kissed.

...no one would notice if they both went into the kitchen for a bit, right? Or hogged the bathroom?

Re: Arrive + Mingle [8/14]

[bitten_notshy]

No one would notice in the slightest, which was why Jack was slightly tugging her by the wrist toward the stairs that led up to the bedrooms. "Want to get settled in before you meet your adoring public?" he asked.

And by 'get settled in' he meant naked. Duh.

Re: Arrive + Mingle [8/14]

[icecoldfrost]

"I definitely need to get unpacked," she deadpanned before kissing him again.

Which was hilarious, because she'd stuffed all her travel-necessities in her purse, and she hadn't brought any bags since she kept a spare stack of clothes stashed in Jack's closet.

And by unpacked, she totally meant unpacking what was in Jack's pants. For the record.

But walking and kissing and straddling that PG-13-in-public-border was hard, and didn't leave much room for witticisms. So Emma was going to focus on the kissing.

Re: Arrive + Mingle [8/14]

[bitten_notshy]

Strange, how the kissing was the most important part. Jack stumbled along with her as if he were drunk,or as if they were siamese twins joined at the lips.

Re: Arrive + Mingle [8/14]

[icecoldfrost]

Or lampreys! Lampreys joined at the lips! NOM NOM NOM.

But maybe they were drunk; drunk on each other, at least, considering how hungry and demanding Emma's kisses were getting, and her refusal to stop for things like stairs, or air, or that door. She could totally fumble behind herself with one hand to get the door.

...hopefully it was actually Jack's door.
