A/N: Well…seeing as everyone on the 'You're actually comparing yourself to Jate' thread on Lost forum asked so nicely, I though I should start posting. I'll hopefully be writing some more for this soon, and over summer. But until then I've got around 4/5 chapters…so when I feel EXTRA nice… ;)

Verbal Copulation and a banana, gotta be agood start,right?


Jack was restless. There was absolutely nothing to do, bar moving things from one place to another. He was alone in the hatch with Kate, but he didn't really want to think about that, because lately he was having these unexplained urges. So instead, he paced the hatch, rushing from one corner to another trying desperately to find something to do. He could feel Kate's eyes burning into him, and he turned to look at her briefly before turning back to…the nothing he was concentrating so hard on.

"What the hell are you doing, Jack?" Kate asked with a smirk, from where she was leaning against the doorway.

"I'm trying to find something to do. There is nothing down here." Jack threw his words at her still rushing about the hatch.

"Well, I'm sure you could re-sort all the meds again, that looked like fun." She called out to him.

"I'm not…there's just…nothing…" Jack sighed, frustrated. "It's not like you've come up with any suggestions."

"We could talk." Kate shrugged and took out a banana from her pack and peeled it.

"We're talking now." Jack told her, finally stopping his mad dashing.

"No, this is chit chat, small talk. Meaningless stuff. We could talk, properly." Kate said tearing off the top of the banana.

"About?" Jack questioned.

"I don't know." Kate said biting off a chunk of her banana. Kate frowned and looked up when she heard Jack groan, and had noticed he'd turned from her. A dangerous glint ignited in her sea green eyes as realization dawned. She'd been eating a banana, of all fruits, and they'd been on the island at least 50 odd days.

"So," Kate chewed thoughtfully, a slight smirk graced her face as she thought about her next words. "How long's it been Jack?"

"How longs what been?" Jack asked completely clueless.

Kate smiled, almost seductively as she finished her banana. "I said, how long has it been…"

"Since?" Still clueless. 'Jeez' Kate thought 'Men really are hopeless'.

"You know what." She informed him.

"I don't think so Kate." Jack said a look of confusion twisted on his face.

"I think you do Jack." Kate said throwing her banana skin at him and walking past him to the couch. "Think about it. How long, Jack?"

Jack's eyes widened as he looked at Kate in realization. "Why do you want to know?"

"Let just say," Kate licked her index finger. "I'm interested…" She tucked her hair behind her ear. "Is it a crime to be interested in your life, Jack? We're friends." She stressed.

"Still…"

"Come on Jack…how long's it been? 50 days, at least…" Kate smiled at him.

"It…it's been a while…" Jack sighed, defeated by the natural beauty sitting before him.

"A while?"

"Yeah a while…" Jack shrugged and sat beside that.

"Care to expand on that. I'm not a mind reader, Jack." Kate smirked.

"Like…almost a year." Jack looked away.

"Wow…" Kate sighed. "You're not the only one. It's been so long I almost can't remember what it's like…"

"Or if it still works." Jack chuckled.

"Something like that. You don't really come across guys on the run; I try to keep to myself." Kate admitted and Jack nodded.

"Yeah. I used to be at work a lot. Didn't have much time for girls…" Jack sighed.

"Aren't we a great couple?" Kate laughed.

"Yeah…they say it's like riding a bike. Something you don't forget. I'm not so sure. I think if I picked up a bike I'd be pretty shaky, and a crap lover…" Jack said lowly.

"Well, we'll just have to test that out…" Kate smiled, standing up.

"Let me know when you find the bike store, and I'll take you up on that offer."

"I wasn't talking about bikes, Jack." Kate laughed.

"You mean?" His eyes bulged. Kate nodded. "Me and You?" Kate nodded again. "Wow." Jack said and instantly thought about it, Kate, naked and in front of him, ready and waiting to be devoured. God he'd love that, but…logically, not such a good idea. They had a good thing going here, why ruin it? Even if was for hot sex?

"Whaddya say?" Kate asked him, her face more curious than it had been previously.

"I…I…I…" Jack stuttered, his eyes wide, but gleaming, and his mouth tripping.

"Well, perhaps you should think about it." Kate smiled softly. "Gotta make sure that the goods still work right?" Jack grinned at her. "Just…no-strings Jack, totally innocent, harmless stuff. It's just sex, think about it Jack. It's not like there's anything better, right?" Kate smiled up at him.

"I guess…"

"Right, so you think about it. I'll be around." And with that Kate ducked out of the hatch, leaving a slightly shell shocked, if not excited Jack, eyes glued to the doorway.

Outside, Kate collapsed against a solid tree. "What the hell was that Katherine?" She asked herself out loud. "Oh God…what did I just do?" Kate frowned and stared at the ground. Sighing she tried to ignore the taunting voice in her head. 'Honey, you're gagging for it. He's hot, you're attracted, he's gagging for it too…did you see the way he was glaring at that banana…like he was JEALOUS…you want it, he wants it, you're hot, he's hot…you could hit that.' Kate groaned in frustration and threw her head back against the tree, only to hiss in the pain caused by the rough tree bark.
