Alaska grabbed on to the bowl of mac and cheese with both her hands. She slowly moved it off of the nightstand. She sat down on her bed and let out a soft sigh. Alaska took a huge spoonful of food from the bowl and put the spoon into her mouth. She leaned her back up against the wall and she crossed her right leg over her left. She looked across her bed at North. He had both hands in his pockets and was biting his lower lip while looking down at the floor. Alaska shock her head and a small smile came across her lips, she thought it was cute the way he was awkward around her.

"North."

"Yeah."

North moved his head up and his bright blue eyes shined into Alaska's gray eyes. A shy grin grew across his face.

"Thank you. This, it was really nice of you."

North sat down on the bed next to Alaska, his cheeks flushed with a light shade of pink.

"You're welcome, I just wanted to make sure you had something to eat when you got back from the mission."

Alaska took one more big spoonful of mac and chess, and then placed the bowl down on the night stand next to her bed. She pulled her knees up close to her chest and wrapped her arms around them. The room filled with silence. Alaska slowly let her legs fall back down on to the bed. She moved her right hand over one of North's hands. He looked back up at her and Alaska felt her cheeks become warmer.

"I'm sorry about earlier today, I didn't mean to rush anything..."

"Don't be sorry. It..it was amazing."

North said cutting Alaska off. His cheeks were bright red now and his heart was pounding. He turned his head to the right and faced Alaska. He moved his right hand up to her face, rubbing her chin with his thumb. North moved his pointer finger up slightly, he brushed away a few stands of hair form Alaska's eyes.

"I know it was fast, but I know I can trust you."

Alaska smiled and lightly nodded her head at him. She looked deep into his sky blue eyes and she could feel her lower lip quiver.

"That's just it, there's something about you that makes me feel like this is all okay. Almost like this is supposed to happen, like..."

And before she could finish her thought, his lips crashed into her's. Alaska smiled into the kiss and she tilted her head to the side. She closed her eyes and kissed him again.
