Hello there!

Thanks for all the follows and favourites and whatnot for the last chapter, they made my week! Here's another one, sorry its so short and awful :/

"""""

'This is what happiness feels like' Lisbon thought to herself as she awoke the next morning with Jane's arms wrapped around her and his face buried in her hair. She let out a happy sigh, wishing she could just stay like this forever.

"You're awake?" a muffled voice sounded from her hair.

She rolled over in his arms to face him.

"Morning" she said, a smile playing on her lips.

"Morning yourself" he grinned back "did you sleep well?"

"Better than I ever have"

"I'd never have thought of you as a snorer" Jane said, yawning.

"I do not snore!" she hit his arm.

"You do! It's like sleeping with some sort of wild animal" he couldn't hold back the grin at the sight of her face.

"I don't snore!"

"Relax, I'm only joking" he reassured her, tightening his hold on her and nestling his face into the crook of her neck.

"We should get up, we're flying back today and it's already half eight" she said, although did nothing to move from her position.

"When's the flight?"

"1, Abbott texted me last night" she yawned, dreading the moment they'd have to untangle themselves from each other and leave the bed.

Surprisingly Jane made the first move, sitting up in bed and stretching whilst Lisbon not so discretely admired his chiselled torso.

"Owww my ankle is killing me" his face crunched up in pain.

"Do you need to go to the hospital? Or do you just want some painkillers?" Lisbon felt guilty that he'd had to go that far to reach her – she should have told him how she felt much earlier and not got together with Pike in an attempt to get over him.

"It's fine, it's just because I haven't moved it all night"

"If you're sure. So if the plane goes at 1, we need to be there two hours before, and it takes an hour to get there…we need to be gone from here by 10" she nodded, mentally rechecking her calculations.

"That gives us about an hour and a half then, I wonder what we could do in that time" Jane winked at her "Twice perhaps…"

"Don't tempt me, we need breakfast and a shower and we're not missing this plane"

"We need a shower? As in together?" he winked again.

"Really Jane, we should put some clothes on and go and get breakfast"

Despite her serious voice, Lisbon couldn't help but blush at the fact they were both naked, memories of the previous night filling her head.

"""""

"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome aboard…" the voice continued to describe the safety measures and weather forecast before wishing them a happy flight.

Lisbon snuggled into Jane's shoulder, since she had had little sleep that night she was tired, and intended to sleep for most of the journey (no matter what Jane had to say on the matter).

Lisbon was woken an hour later by the noise of Jane ordering drinks from the trolley.

"Could I have a cup of coffee for my girlfriend please? I'll wake her up in a minute"

To begin with, Lisbon didn't register what Jane had said, but she had soon taken notice of his choice of words.

My girlfriend.

She was his girlfriend.

After having dreamt about this happening for years, she couldn't quite come to terms with the fact that they were actually together, and due to this she couldn't wipe the huge grin off her face.

"Sorry about that" Jane told her as the air hostess handed them their drinks.

"About what?"

"Calling you my girlfriend" he explained "I just thought it would be easier than explaining the colleagues-who-just-slept-together-but-one's-still-engaged thing"

The bubble of happiness which had appeared after hearing his words deflated slightly. Colleagues who just slept together? That's the best he could do?

"What are we?" Lisbon asked him boldly.

"Human beings" Jane helpfully replied, a playful glint in his eye "we're made up of water mostly, and the majority of the race are-"

"I'm being serious, what would you define as 'us'?"

"A pair of people who recently discovered that they loved each other" he said simply.

"But are we gonna be a couple? Or is it just a 'pair'?"

"Are you asking me out?" Jane asked her.

"Don't be stupid, just answer my question"

"I don't know what we are then, I mean I'd love to be able to call you my girlfriend" he paused, considering the question further "You are still engaged though"

"Yeah" Lisbon had actually forgotten about Pike in the rush of events the night before "I should probably break that off with him, I still haven't told him I'm not in DC…"

"Ooh good luck with that" Jane said.

"Ah he won't take it to badly" she shrugged "this coffee is…not good"

"The tea is surprisingly, do you want some?"

"You may have chased me onto a plane and confessed your love to me but I'm not quite ready to take your tea from you" a joked.

"Oh don't worry, I knew you didn't want any but I was at least trying to look like I could be nice" he pointed out and she snorted at his complete Janeness.

"""""

"Lisbon" Jane shook her shoulder gently "Lisbon wake up, we're there"

"I- Jane?" Lisbon forced her bleary eyes open.

"Come on Lisbon, let's get you home, you're still exhausted"

"When did I even fall asleep?" she asked him, rubbing her eyes to try and keep them open.

"Not long after your coffee" he replied as they got up and started to collect their bags.

They made their way off the plane, Jane limping badly but refusing to let Lisbon take his bags. Jane collected his car from the airport car park and set off to Lisbon's house – ignoring her blatant refusal and the fact she was 'totally fine' (which would have been a lot more persuasive had she not been curled up with her eyes shut). He would have taken her straight home and made her go straight to bed if it hadn't been for a text from Abbott, telling them to get straight to the office as another case had just come up. Jane didn't even wake Lisbon up to tell her this but turned round and drove off in the opposite direction.

"Jane, Lisbon, good flight?" Abbott asked them as they arrived.

"Not too bad" Lisbon replied for both of them.

"Good, because we need you all to be on top form for this case – that is providing it hasn't been set up by Jane again?"

"Wasn't me this time" Jane told him, glad Abbott was able to laugh about what he did as opposed to firing him (as he should have done).

"Shame, it would have been much easier to solve if it was, anyway here's the case file – off you go"
