Back with another drabble! Thanks so much to everyone who reviewed,favorited or alerted - I'm glad you like it so far. Again, if you have any requests, I'd love to hear them.
Abby - Yes! I actually have a drabble half-written for that already so hopefully I'll be able to post it soon.
This one is just a bit of fluff set after they escape from Yerba. I thought they could use something nice and fluffy after all that drama :P

Beck was exhausted. They'd been at the Yerbanian airport for 8 hours, waiting for the next flight back home. Luckily none of them had really unpacked in their filthy hotel rooms, so Sikowitz had been able to grab their bags before rescuing them. They didn't want to go back to the hotel just in case they were arrested again. And the airport was not much of an airport. Seriously, the bathroom was a single portaloo, which Beck was pretty sure hadn't been emptied in the last year.
But finally, finally they were boarding the plane. He was the last of their group to shuffle down the aisle, his hand gently pressed against Jade's back in front of him. She stopped suddenly, causing him to walk into her, though she didn't seem to notice.
"Oh come on!" She exclaimed, her annoyed tone obviously weak due to being so tired. Beck peered in front of her and saw that the seat next to hers, was already taken. By Robbie.
"It's on my ticket!" Robbie exclaimed, holding up the boarding pass to her face. She shoved his hand away and squeezed into her window seat, deliberately turning so her bag hit Robbie in face, skewing his glasses.
Beck sighed, looking around and seeing his free seat between Andre and Cat across the aisle. He looked back at Jade who was taping her finger angrily on the arm rest and glaring out the airplane window. She wasn't in a good mood, but none of them were. Besides they'd just sent the last two days in jail, on different sides of a fence. He's pretty sure he saw her be pushed down to the ground at one point, but he was too busy trying to avoid the prison gang on his side to check if she was okay.
From the moment they got off the plane in Yerba he's regretted not forcing his family to let Jade come to Cancun. It was mostly his father's fault, he still blamed her for the Rottweiler-caused scar on his forearm, kept saying it could've been him instead. But Beck was sure if he'd tried harder he and Jade could've been on a beach in Cancun right now, her in a bikini, him trying to persuade her not to scare the children on the beach. It would've been great. Next year, he promised himself.
He cleared his throat and tapped Robbie on the shoulder. Both Robbie and Rex turned up at him at the same time.
"Come on, let's swap," he said calmly, nodding his head towards the empty seat.
Robbie glanced at the seat, smiling slightly when Cat waved at him (Andre already had his eyes closed and his pearpod in).
"Hey, ain't my fault you didn't organise your seating beforehand." Rex spoke up. Robbie bit his lip looking a little apologetic. Beck really didn't want to get into this now.
"Dude, please." He said, his voice more forceful as he stared at him. It was obvious the 'please' was just for show. He had learnt something from dating Jade after all.
"Ugh... fine!" Robbie conceded and got up, taking Robbie and his backpack with him. Rex mumbled something, but Beck couldn't be bothered to pay attention. Instead he shoved his bag underneath the seat in front and sat down. Jade seemed to still be staring out the window, but her fingers had stopped moving and Beck wondered if she'd fallen asleep in that position.
He leaned over, pressing a gently kiss to her shoulder and wrapping an arm around her waist pulling her towards him. She turned her head, smiling sleepily, clearly unwilling (or unable) to put up any moody front. She was just as glad to be going home as he was. She leant her head on his shoulder and let her hand rest on his thigh. Beck smiled. She'd somehow managed to keep her Jade smell – a mixture of her perfume and strong coffee.
"We are never going on holiday with Vega again," she mumbled softly, but he was close enough to hear her.
He chuckled. Not that this was Tori's fault, well, kind of. But he definitely sided with Jade on this one. "Agreed." He pressed a kiss into her hair and let his head rest on top of hers, and his arms rubbed her shoulder slowly and soothingly.
He's pretty sure she fell asleep within the next minute or so and he followed quickly suit, not waking up until the flight attendants were handing out coffee before landing. (Jade smelt it and woke up, nudging him awake in the process.)
He waved to the attendant signalling for her to stop when she came to them, then turned back to Jade. She looked at him, make up a little smudged and hair kind of messy, but she looked gorgeous. "Morning," he smiled and kissed her on the lips.
She kissed him back for a second before pulling away, "Gross, do you know how long it's been since we brushed our teeth?"
He didn't really want to think about it. Nothing he could do now. So he just shrugged, and leaned in again, kissing her softly but firmly. His arm, still around her shoulder moved to cup her cheek. This time she didn't pull away, but kissed him back a little harder. They continued until they heard an awkward cough from the flight attendant standing above them.
"Coffee?" She asked.
"Uh yeah, thanks," Beck nodded, "Two sugars," he said, pointing to Jade, "and milk," he pointed to himself.
She quickly handed them two Styrofoam cups of hot liquid and moved on. The coffee was so bad, the smell almost made his eyes water. But hey, coffee was coffee.
Jade took a big gulp of her coffee and leaned against his shoulder again. "When we get home you're buying me coffee that isn't poisonous," She said.
"Sure thing, babe," he chuckled, agreeing with her wholeheartedly, and pressed a quick kiss into her hair.
