Author note: Just a quick two-shot I threw together in free time of a very underrated pairing. I don't expect everyone to like it and if you don't; I ask you please don't leave bashing reviews. It wastes my time and yours. To those who are interested...onward!

It's not something she normally did...at least, not in public. Much less she wouldn't dare do it around Jude and the others. It was always at the most inconvenient times too and maybe things would be different had she worn more suitable clothes for all this walking but who was to say this was something she expected? She didn't plan on a journey such as this but here she was; hiking up a mountain pass with her panties hiking right up her...

Okay...discomfort was waaay too much at this point. She had to adjust her dumb underwear right now. Her eyes darted towards Jude, whom was a few steps ahead and one or two steps behind Milla. To her right, a chattery Teepo was floating alongside Elize and talking Rowen's ear off about some sort of tasty candy they had tried back in Sharilton (of course, Rowen being Rowen didn't seem to mind the conversation in the least). Everyone seemed busy and focused. All she had to do was play it smooth, fall behind a few steps and make a quick adjustment before anyone could even blink an eye.

Slowly, as discreet as possible. She let herself fall four...no five steps behind. 'Quickly' she thought 'anymore behind and Jude or someone else will notice! Three seconds… annnnd NOW!'

Quick as her reflexes could allow; she reached behind her back underneath her black shorts and hooked her right finger on the pristine, white lace underneath. One quick twist and yank on the fabric and the discomfort she had been feeling for hours was gone. She practically had to stifle a sigh of relief. Now she wouldn't have to deal with anymore walking with a stupid wedgie up her…

"Might wanna be a little more discreet about that next time."

Leia froze in her tracks...blood running cold. An idiot...she was an absolute stupid, dumb freakin' idiot if she could forget her one teammate that was most likely to notice. Against her better judgment; she turned her head towards the cheeky smirk that could only belong to that of...

"A...Alvin! I...I don't know what you are talking about!" Her words sounded weak, even to her ears. She could tell from that spark in his eye that he more than likely wasn't going to let her live this down. She also could see another emotion there but it wasn't her primary concern at this point. 'Please oh please don't tell Jude and the others' she thought whilst eyeing his pasted on smirk. She could feel her face heating up with every second and out of the corner of her eye; she saw something that made her heart stop.

The group had stopped moving...Jude was slowly making his way over to where the two of them stood. He stopped and stood in between the two of them as if to stop a fight. "Something the matter?" His voice danced with concern. Leia could feel all the blood in her face draining. She turned to Alvin, eyes pleading. He was gonna tell him, wasn't he? Oh of course he would tell him! Who was she kidding? There was no way this guy would...

"Nothin' much. Just trying to start a conversation. Been so long since Leia spoke to me that I was afraid maybe she was mad at me again." He flashed a smile in Jude's direction (the kind she was pretty sure he used on women all the time), whom that in turn, lowered his brow and turned away and responded icily.

"Whatever. Just, try not to step on anymore toes."

Alvin raised his hand up in response despite Jude's retreating back. "Scouts honor." Everyone else began to follow suit except Teepo whom of course had to slip in his two cents before turning away. "There he goes lying again."

Leia felt the color coming back to her face and let out a long breathe she had been holding. Alvin walked past her toward the others but not before he left her with parting words that made her feel like her stomach leapt.

"Aaaand...now we're even. Thinking I may have gotten a good deal though on my end." He lowered his voice a bit on the last part. "Every man's different you know. Jude might not feel the same but I myself quite enjoy ladies that prefer lace." He winked and flashed her a quick smile and proceeded onward...leaving a hot-faced, blushing and flustered Leia.

Yeah...he would never let her live that down.
