AN: Yes, I know another thing but I was challenged. Here's my friend's challenge for any ship I wanted and of course my muse went immediately to Careese:

1.) they had to be drabbles 500 words or less *sobs*

2.) I had to use each letter of the alphabet

3.) they had to connect to tell a bigger story.

This is set just after 3x9 which is AU because our girl is alive and well and the reason is explained in one of the drabbles.

Oh and one last thing this drabble is not proofread because I don't want to bother Elaine until I know she's feeling better. Hope you feel better soon XOXOXOX

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

AID

"I'm going to start charging you for my services John; you're using up all my First Aid supplies." Joss stated with annoyance as she stood in front of him in her pajamas, glaring down at him as she bandaged his gash above his eyebrow after having cleansed it. His number had gotten a quick and surprising blow on him before he could reassure him that he wasn't there to kill him.

"You won't," John countered.

"Watch me: I'm tired of patching your ass up well past midnight after you decide your life isn't as important as others." Joss huffed, eyes elsewhere as she reached over to close the First Aid Kit. She didn't want him to see how upset she was. Losing John just wasn't an option not after everything they have gone through and the thought of him taking unnecessary risks because he felt the world wouldn't miss him had the ability to make her heart clench. Because while the world might not miss him; she would.

John rested his hand over hers, enjoying her skin under his, drawing her gaze up to his own. "Thank you for being here, Carter." he whispered, grateful to know he could come to her for aid. He longed to tell her how he really felt about her but how could he do that? How could he ask a woman that belonged in the world, who was beautiful and amazing and could have any man she wanted, to settle for someone such as him?—he couldn't. He didn't belong anywhere while she belonged in the world. Friendship could be enough for him...it had to be.

Joss shrugged. "I'll always be here for you, John." she replied simply.

AN: Thanks for reading!
