A/N: here's my second little Jane/Jester fic. I think there just so cute together! Hope you like…
Disclaimer: I don't own JatD!
It was a fairly typical day at the castle. Jane and Gunther were sparring in the yard while Jester and Dragon looked on. A fairly typical conversation continued: Gunther's taunts, Jane's retorts, and Jester's…clever commentary.
"Clearly you are outmatched Jane…why don't you just give up?"
"Boghead!" she shouted giving Gunther a sound blow to the chest.
"And another spectacular hit from Jane! Clearly Gunther is outmatched…" Jester added from the background.
"Don't you think your commentary is a bit-" Gunther grunted taking a blow to the head, "biased?"
"I rather like it," Dragon murmured from his perch on the wall.
"You-would…" Gunther groaned. Gunther delivered a blow to Jane's knees knocking her to the ground. Quickly she jumped back to her feet delivering a quick jab to his stomach.
"Another excellent jab by Jane…" Jester continued.
Dragon flew down to the ground moving closer to the conflict shouting aimless instructions in Jane's direction.
"Say the word Jane and he's charcoal," he muttered.
"Is anyone here-on my side?" Gunther panted irritably.
"No…" Dragon retorted clearly amused by the situation.
The fight proceeded to migrate closer and closer to the spectators, Jester almost receiving a blow to the head.
"Not funny!" he shouted toppling back onto his elbows as Dragon laughed.
"Actually, I found it quite amusing," Dragon laughed, "I think I'll take my leave!" He pulled himself up slowly from the ground, "Leave you short lives to fritter away your…short lives," he said chuckling at his pun. At that he turned on his heels (not so gracefully) whipping his tail around narrowly missing Jesters head and then hitting Jane behind her knees.
"I give up!" Jester shouted flattening himself to the ground. Jane teetered for a moment and then toppled over directly on top of Jester. They're eyes locked, noses barely touching as she felt the heat rushing to her cheeks. He continued to stare at her unblinking trapped beneath her unable to move. She stared at him and to her surprise she didn't move, couldn't move her muscles seemingly paralyzed.
"Sorry about that," Dragon muttered breaking the trance.
"I believe that was a win for me," Gunther taunted smugly, "I'll leave you two alone…" He chuckled, but a burst of flames from Dragon sent him running quickly from the yard. After what seemed like an age, Jane rolled herself to the ground and pulled herself to her feet, Jester following her shortly there after.
"I-I have to go practice-my-jokes…" he murmured embarrassedly his pale cheeks flooded with color, "Comedy never takes a break you know…"
She nodded, "And I have to-meet with-Pepper!" The two proceeded to turn on there heels sprinting in opposite directions.
A/N: I plan on updating as soon as I can. Hope you like, will have more fluff in later chapters.
