TITLE: Drinking Buddies
AUTHOR: MikeJaffa
SUMMARY: Rommie and Jo seem so alike, two beings made for war. Wouldn't it be natural for them to go drinking?
DISCLAIMER: I won neither Andromeda, Burst Angel, nor Grimjack (which is needed for the crossover).
SILLY MUSE WARNING: In effect. Don't eat or drink.
"Hey, Kyohei." Kyhohei heard Jo's voice and felt her pushing on his shoulder. "Wake up."
Kyohei opened his eyes. He was lying in his underwear on the extended futon in the trailer's living room. Sei, Amy, and Meg were spending the night at Sei's grandfather's, and Sei had asked him to cook for Jo and house sit (trailer sit?) in case Jo had been called away. Kyohei had agreed, not without being a little nervous, but Sei had promised him extra money, and he couldn't say no…to extra money. But the evening had been uneventful, Jo's videos had been less gory than normal, and he'd turned in hoping his luck would hold out. Now, he wasn't so sure: Jo was standing over him with her red coat and white scarf on.
"What time is it?" Kyo asked.
"0130 hours." Jo held out her hand. "Need your scooter keys."
"Oh, no." Kyo rolled away from her. "Can't it wait until the others get back tomorrow?"
"Has to be now. Promise I won't wreck it."
"You said that the last time."
"Mean it."
"You said that last time, too."
"Please."
Kyo's eyes opened and he rolled back towards her. "You didn't say that last time."
"Pretty please."
"Are you feeling all right?"
"Pretty please with sugar on it."
Kyo sighed, sat up, grabbed his pants off the floor, and fished his keys out of his pocket. "I'm only doing this because if you're any nicer to me, your head will explode, and I'll never get all the blood out of my clothes in time for cooking classes." He handed her the keys and rolled back away for her.
Jo smiled slightly. "Thanks, buddy. Be back before you know I'm gone."
"Whtehvvr," Kyo muttered into his pillow.
