Bad Luck
"Do you always look this innocent when you sleep?" Jinx awoke abruptly to the sound of a deep, familiar voice. She turned to see Kid Flash leaning casually on her vanity dresser, a wide smirk on his face.
Jinx bolted out of bed, ready to fight. "What the hell are you doing in my room?" Her body emanated the fire of her anger and embarrassment.
"I got bored, so I thought I'd come see you. Didn't mean to wake you" Kid Flash replied.
"You asked me a question!"
"Oh. Well, you know what I mean." Kid Flash smirked again.
Jinx sighed deeply, relaxing her stance. "No, I really don't. How did you even get in here? We have a security system, believe it or not."
Kid Flash shrugged. "Beats me. I kind of expected to set off some alarms, but I didn't. Maybe you should have a talk with Gizmo."
Jinx scoffed. "Right, because I totally want to talk to the temperamental tech kid about how his system doesn't keep out pesky intruders. I'll get right on that."
"You consider me pesky? I'm touched, Jinx." Kid Flash took a step towards Jinx, grabbing her hand. "Let's go out."
"You're kidding, right?" Jinx pulled her hand out of Kid Flash's, taking a step backwards. The back of her leg bumped against the bed, telling her she couldn't back up any further.
"Oh, I never kid when it comes to pretty girls. Well, only sometimes. C'mon, your lackeys won't even know you're gone." Kid Flash took another step towards Jinx, taking up the majority of her vision without touching her.
Jinx's brain swam as she realized the extent of Kid Flash's presence around her. All she could smell was him, his cute smirk and bright blue eyes were all she could see. She wanted to take a step back, step away from the trance he always put her in, but she didn't want to fall on the bed, least Kid Flash get any more alluring. "I-I need to get to sleep, dummy. It's too late for this. And you really shouldn't be here." Jinx began to gain her confidence again. "What if I tried to capture you? Your guard is down, you're in my room. What's stopping me from turning you into Madame Rouge?"
Kid Flash took another small step towards Jinx, so close she could feel his body heat. "I'm not afraid of you, Jinx." Kid Flash replied in a low voice.
"Maybe you should be." Jinx said quietly, her breath catching.
Kid Flash smiled gently. "I doubt it."
Jinx's heart pounded in her chest. She was surprised Kid Flash hadn't pointed out how loud it was. "Kid, I'm really tired. I don't want to go out tonight." She also didn't want them to be caught by the security system on the way out, but she wasn't about to voice out that fear. Jinx knew Kid Flash would just take it as a challenge.
Kid Flash's face fell slightly in disappointment. "After all the trouble I went through to get here, you still reject me? Jinx, you're slowly breaking my heart over here."
"I don't mean it like that. It's not personal."
Kid Flash touched her cheek gently with his gloved hand. "I know. Get some sleep. I'll see you later, okay?" He flashed her a wide smile, and Jinx could see in his eyes that he forgave her. Her knees buckled as the touch made her heart skip beats, and she fell back onto the bed.
When Jinx looked up, she felt a breeze whip across her face, and Kid Flash was gone. "Okay." She said to herself, laying down in her bed. She replayed the events of the night in her head as she fell asleep, wondering when she had become so vulnerable, and scorned herself for it.
