A/N:
This chapter is very short, simply because it's basically just a small scene depicting Jorge and Scarlett becoming a couple.
ＣＨAＰＴＥＲ ❹
Six awoke to find herself in a cozy, warm bed. She noticed that she was now in Pajama's - Who had changed her? She had hoped it was Kat.
Six heard the rain hammering down on the roof. 'Yet another rainy day on Reach.' She thought with a chuckle to herself.
As much as she'd like to pretend otherwise, Six wasn't coping too well. Every time she closed her eyes, she got memories of that night with Jorge; Going out to watch; Being captured; and Marie, the last time she saw her.
Six closed her eyes, sighing. She hoped that Marie was safe - And if it was too late - Then in a happier place.
"Those covenant bastards are gonna pay," She muttered under her breath, clenching her fists. She let herself relax slightly, unclenching her fists. At least she was safe. Spartans healed quickly; she was already feeling better, most of her bruises had faded.
She got up and changed into a tank top and shorts, before heading into the dining hall. Nobody was around.
She sat down, sighing loudly and putting her head in her hands. She was so fed up.
"Six?" Jorge stood behind her. She lifted her head up, but didn't turn to face him.
"Yes?"
Jorge sat down with a thump next to her, making her jump slightly. "Are you okay?"
"I'm...I'm fine."
"Six," Jorge gently took one of her hands. "It's okay. You're fine now." She turned to face him properly, taking in his features; his slightly tan skin, his greying hair, his soft hazel eyes.
"Thank you, Jorge," She softly said. "For everything. And I'm sorry, for pushing you away so much." She immediately regretted what she had said; How could she let her guard down so much?
Jorge smiled at this, and at this point, he knew that she felt the same way.
"It's okay, Six."
Six decided it would be best, to mention her real name. They'd all seen her face - Besides, she was staying with this Team.
They all addressed themselves on first-name bases (excluding when they addressed the commander, Carter - He was the boss, after all). And she felt left out, being called 'Six' all the time. It was like she had no real identification, like she was just a number, nothing more.
"I have a name; It's Scarlett."
"Scarlett?" Jorge mused. "Unusual name. Pretty, though." Scarlett felt a small blush creep across her face.
"Thanks."
Jorge leaned closer to her. Before Scarlett knew it, his lips were mashed against hers, and they were absorbed in a passionate kiss.
There came a whistle from the doorway; Jun stood there, watching them, unable to wipe the huge grin off his face.
Scarlett and Jorge shot apart from each other.
"Don't let me disturb you," Jun joked. Scarlett's face flushed and looked away; Jorge looked down slightly.
"I was just getting my Sniper Rifle." Jun reached across the table and grabbed it. "And don't worry," Jun continued. "Carter and Kat are in a relationship. You don't have to hide your feelings from us, y'know." With another smirk, Jun left the room.
There was a slight silence.
"Awkward..." Scarlett giggled. Jorge smiled fondly; She was always surprising him.
