Okay, so I think I was kind of vague. This isn't another full blown story. It's just a bunch of oneshots for the different ships. I'm crazy, sure, but not crazy enough to try and write three full stories at once! Haha, anyway, here's the questshipping chapter. It's a little mature, but then again, I always pictured Jimmy and Marina as older than the rest of the gang, so that makes sense. I hope you like it.
Marina hummed quietly to herself as she finished cleaning up the dressing room. She picked Solidad's veil up off the floor and looked at it sadly for a minute. Behind her, the door opened.
"Marina?" Jimmy said hesitantly.
"Oh, hey Jimmy," she said, tossing the veil in the trash. It wasn't like Solidad needed it, anyway.
"You know, I think we should elope," Jimmy commented, sliding his arms around Marina's waist. She giggled and twisted around, looking up at him through her eyelashes.
"Oh, really? Why don't you tell my mother that," she said playfully, kissing him.
"Do I get body armor first?" Jimmy asked, spinning her around so that they were face to face.
"Nope," Marina said, sliding her hands onto his chest. "Take it like a man."
Jimmy grinned and kissed her deeply, letting his hands glide down to her hips. Marina linked her arms around his neck and pulled him closer, if that was even possible. They swayed in place slightly, and Marina tried to memorize the way Jimmy smelled, the way his body felt pressed up against hers.
"Hey, Marina, May wants to know—oh!" Dawn had walked into the dressing room, stopping short at the sight of two of her friends wrapped around each other. For a second, she just stared and then, God bless her, Dawn turned around and walked right back through the door.
Marina giggled. "I guess it's not a secret anymore," she said, curling her fingers into Jimmy's hair.
"I guess not." He moved to kiss her again, but Marina pulled back.
"Wait." She slipped her hand down around to the back of her neck and unclasped her necklace. She pulled it out from underneath her dress, and there, hanging suspended from a delicate silver chain, was an equally delicate silver engagement ring. Marina pulled the ring off the chain and held it out to Jimmy, her blue eyes clear.
"Are you sure?" Jimmy murmured, taking the ring. "We can still wait."
Marina shook her head. "I don't want to wait anymore. Especially not after today."
Jimmy nodded and slipped the ring onto Marina's finger. She stared at it for a second, and then smiled, her entire face lighting up.
"I love you," Marina whispered, sliding her arms back around Jimmy's neck.
"And I you," he said, kissing her softly. "Forever."
"And always."
"You're engaged?" Dawn shrieked, staring at the ring. The church had emptied out pretty quickly following May and Drew's announcement, and now the only people left were family members and the cleanup crew.
"Well, technically, we've been engaged," Marina said, giggling.
"For how long?" demanded Dawn.
Marina mumbled something under her breath, blushing slightly.
"For hour long, Marina?"
"Five months?" Marina said, cringing as she waited for the inevitable explosion. Dawn just stood there, completely still, as shock rendering her mute. "Dawn? Are you okay?"
"I'm going to kill you," said Dawn calmly.
Marina squealed and ran, ducking behind Jimmy as Dawn came after her.
"Hey, no murdering my fiancée," Jimmy said, grabbing Dawn by the wrists.
"Fiancée?" May and Drew were standing in the doorway of the church, looking completely shocked.
May rounded on Marina. "I'm gonna kill you."
Drew sighed. "Can we not threaten murder in a church? please?"
Jimmy just shook his head. "We're going to go now, before I end up a widower before I'm even married." Marina smiled and took his hand, leading him out the door.
"What do you want to do now?" Marina asked, sitting down on a bench. Jimmy slung an arm around her shoulder and grinned.
"I have a couple ideas," he said, leaning in to kiss her.
Marina pulled away. "Oh, really? Like what?" she asked coyly, standing up and walking away.
"My apartment's not far from here," Jimmy said, looking at her pointedly. "But if you'd rather stay behind and help May clean up, I'd totally understand."
Marina just cocked an eyebrow at him. "Where's your car?"
Marina fell back onto the bed, pulling Jimmy down with her. He locked his lips on her own, his tongue tracing the outline of her mouth as he begged for entrance. Marina just pressed her lips tighter and smiled.
Jimmy growled and pinned her arms above her head, trailing kisses down the side of her neck. Marina gasped and twisted slightly, moaning as Jimmy's lips returned to her mouth. This time, when his tongue skimmed over her lips, she let him in. Jimmy's hands slid off her wrists and moved to cup her face. When Marina started fumbling with the buttons on his shirt, Jimmy pulled back, staring at her intently.
"Are you sure?" he asked quietly, hovering over her. "We can wait."
Marina shook her head, bringing her mouth to meet his. "I'm sure."
Outside, it started to rain, but neither of them cared. They were sheltered, wrapped in their own little bubble of warmth. For once, they weren't concerned with what their families would say, or how the people back home would talk. Nothing else mattered but that moment, and each other.
Yeah, so very short. But still, Marina and Jimmy! Anyway, please review, and if you get a chance, check out some of my other stories. Thanks!
