Chapter 2:
This one's only a short fic, it ends here. I hope you all enjoy it :)
Jess swayed gently in her chair as she listened to her Ipod. She immediately noticed a presence behind her but couldn't place who it might be. She inhaled deeply and the smell of chocolate assaulted her nostrils. 'You've got to be kidding' she thought, swinging around to arch an eyebrow at Becker.
"Where is it then?" she asked.
"Where is what?" he asked, smiling down at her.
"The chocolate"
"Oh... is it that strong? Do you like it?"
"Like what?"
"My new... chocolate, deodorant" smirked Becker.
Jess pursed her lips together and tried to scowl... god, he smelt delicious... more delicious than usual... damn! What was she suppose do? Get 'gun powder' perfume? She sighed inwardly.
"Well that's nice Becker" she said with forced calmness, It was all she could do not to jump on him and ravish him, him smelling and looking as delicious as a chocolate bar.
Becker grinned, and turned to go, pleased with her reaction. He didn't get very far before she called him back.
"Oh, by the way" she said matter-of-factly "Toby's going to be taking me for some shooting lessons at some stage, just to let you know"
Becker stiffened, he'd often thought about teaching Jess to shoot... Hmhp! What did it matter anyway? He'd just have to supervise to make sure his brother didn't do anything stupid... He smiled sweetly at her and stomped out of the room wondering what the smell of chocolate was... before realising with a small pout that it was himself. He frowned and marched off to the menagerie to find Abby, he had a favour to ask her...
Jess pursed her lips together; she could still smell Becker... damn! She absently tapped codes into the ADD and thought her hardest: what could she do to get Becker to cave? The shooting lesson wouldn't be enough. She allowed a small smile as a little plan came to mind...
Becker shut Jess's locker two hours later with a satisfied smile, she'd given him the key so he could access her spare epi-pen if needed. You know, in case the one in his locker disappeared... and the medical bay had none. Anyway, Jess was sure to give in now... how could she not? Thanks to Abby's help retrieving a certain... item for him.
Jess peered around the corner of the locker rooms. Becker wasn't there. Good. She slipped inside and cautiously looked around before starting towards Becker's locker, at that moment though both Becker and Connor came in, chatting about Star Wars. Connor with great enthusiasm, Becker with a little less.
"And I didn't even realise it was Keira Knightly!" Connor exclaimed.
"Wait? Who was?" Becker asked, watching with amusement as Jess made an abrupt turn to her locker and started fumbling for her keys.
"The queen's decoy!" Connor said, waving his hands about.
"Oh" said Becker "I did not know that"
Connor nodded seriously "I know, they look really similar her an Natalie Portman do"
Becker nodded back and then snorted with laughter as Jess took one look at what was in her locker and took 3, high pitched, gasping breaths before keeling over.
"Jess!" cried Connor.
"Becker!" cried Jess.
"Connor!" Cried Becker in an incredibly fake sounding voice.
"Yes?" said Connor.
Becker chuckled and said "Never mind, what's wrong with you Jess?"
Jess glared dagger's at him and jumped up and yelled "A CHOCOLATE SHOE?"
That was to much for Becker, He dissolved in a fit of giggles, yes giggles, against the wall.
"YOU...You-! You ass!" Jess wailed, scurrying over to observe the shoe from a better angle.
"Ready to give up?" asked Becker, with tears of laughter in his eyes.
Jess licked her lips and waved her hands around the chocolate, her mouth watering. She soon snapped out of it and faced Becker with her arm's crossed.
"No" she said simply before stalking out of the room.
Becker's face fell and he pouted.
"What, in god's name, was that about?" asked Connor confusedly.
"Connor" said Becker, ignoring the techs question "This calls for drastic action... we're gonna need milk, lots and lots of milk"
Connor grinned stupidly, not exactly sure what was going on but pleased to be included in something, apparently, important.
The next day, Jess strolled into the ops in a short pair of navy shorts, an ARC soldiers jacker and boots.
"Looking good Jess" Commented Toby as she passed him.
"Thanks Tobs, what time are you going to teach me at?" Jess asked.
"Let's say half 1, ok?"
"Sure, see you then"
Becker smiled from around the corner where he had listened "Now he had both a time and a place... this was going to be good!
"Come on Conn" he said, as they sneaked along the corridor.
"Jess" whispered Abby "looking great! He won't know what hit him"
"It'll be me if he pulls another stunt like that shoe" mumbled Jess.
Abby laughed and said "Come on, let's get those guns set up"
The two of them left the ADD with George, a trainee, and set off to the armoury.
Soon they had rows and rows and stacks and stacks of guns set up all around the firing range. In short, Becker heaven. The air was thick with the smell of gun powder and Jess had "Skip" in her hands. It was weird, it felt like she was holding Becker's arm or something.
"There you are Jess!" said Toby as Abby took a seat on a box "you using that one then?"
Jess nodded and positioned herself in front of Toby and he clasped the gun from behind her.
"now just move you legs apart" he nudged them apart with his knee.
"You're doing it wrong Toby" snapped Becker, storming in and bumping Toby out of the way and reaching around Jess.
Jess jumped as his warm arms encircled her and held onto the gun.
"Hello Skip" he muttered.
"Um, Becker?" asked Abby "Did you just call Jess "Skip"?"
"No" said Jess, trying not to breath too much; Becker still smelt like chocolate "He's talking to the gun"
Abby grinned "Skip? Skip? Seriously?"
"Hey, it was named after my Dad's gun" said Becker defensively, still standing with Jess in his arms.
Abby shrugged and, at Connor's call, hurried to his aid.
"Now" started Becker, shifting both Jess and the gun in his arms "Make sure to keep it shoulder height, just... there!" He slipped one hand around her waist and put his other hand over hers on the trigger.
Jess was now bright red and getting quite warm.
"Relax..." he breathed into her hair, his breath smelt of chocolate... oh god! She, along with Becker's gentle pressure on her hip and finger, pulled the trigger and shot the target in the head.
"Well done" muttered Becker in a low voice, or was Jess imagining it? She smiled and re-loaded the gun. Becker pulled the trigger with her. The force of the gun firing shot Jess backwards against Becker chest. She squeaked and Becker grunted and held her against him. She lay against him for a while before pushing him away and laughing joyously "Ha!" she exclaimed "You used a gun! I win! I win! I win!"
"No! It was you touching the thing! Not me!" protested Becker.
"I knew it would work" said Abby "Jess wins!"
"No, she doesn't! I have to actually be holding it on my own!" Becker protested, not wanting to be beaten.
"do you know what?" Jess said "Fine, you have to hold one, and I have to actually have chocolate in my mouth"
"Are you witnessing this Connor?" Becker snapped.
"Yep!" said Connor from his perch beside Abby.
"What have you got planned?" Abby muttered to Connor. He just grinned back and tapped his nose.
"You better not be making them hate each other" she warned.
"It was Becker's idea... and believe me; they'll be fine" Connor said.
"Mmm... good" Abby rubbed her face against Connor's "It trust you"
Connor smiled and gently stroked her hair, cuddling her back.
Oblivious to Abby and Connor's cuddling, Becker and Jess were sending banter back and forward at a fierce rate. Jess was trying to look annoyed but failing miserably and Becker was trying to 'subtly' coax Jess into the small room off the armoury. Finally she curiously followed him and screamed at the sight before her: it looked like something out of Charlie and the chocolate factory, complete with a chocolate milk filled paddling pool... DAMN THAT MAN!
Jess pulled at her hair in a very stressed out manner then started pounding against Becker's chest. He stood there shaking with laughter, unaffected buy her blows. She pushed him with the flats of her palms. Connor's brow creased and he slowly stood, Abby followed, a similar look on her face. They stalked towards the pair without saying a word to each other.
They nodded once and then swiftly pushed Becker and Jess into the chocolate milk pool, then promptly legged it.
On natural reflex, Becker wrapped his arms around Jess and fell on his back to project her. They fell with a splash and yells from both of them. Once the initial shock had stopped freezing them, Jess slowly slid off Becker into the chocolate. She grimaced as the cold liquid sunk into her clothes, but when she looked up at Becker's face she found she didn't care. He was trying to repress a grin as he looked down at her. She ginned up at him and watched as the chocolate ran down his face. She pushed herself up on her elbow and gently wiped it off. He smiled gently at her and rolled onto his side, pushing her soaking hair out of her eyes. She blushed and suddenly became transfixed at the sight of a droplet of chocolate milk that had settled on his lower lip.
She rose up and gently kissed it off. Becker licked his lips and smiled shyly at her before leaning down to kiss her gently again.
"You loose" he whispered, pulling them both into a sitting position.
"Don't care" murmured Jess into his shoulder.
Becker chuckled and pulled her against him "Neither do I"
Outside the room, Abby and Connor high-fived quietly before heading off to the canteen, leaving Becker and Jess waist deep in, and soaked with, chocolate milk.
That's that :) Review please? They really make my day :) Hope you enjoyed!
