Author's Note:: Once again, another JAG fic. Harm/Caitlin again!! Sorry all you Harm/Mac shippers! Enjoy it though! XD
She had not been expecting that to happen. For Harm to snub her as she leaned in for a kiss, being so close to his lips. And so willing. And he'd just pulled back away from her. Kate saw him looking to her as she sighed, settling into the sofa while Harm moved to get the covers and cocoa for her. Harm looked to Caitlin apologetically and she looked down, not wanting to look at him at the present moment, for she was definitely ashamed of what had happened just seconds before.
"Yeah, can I get a doctor out here, please?" Harm asked into the mouthpiece of the phone, stirring the milk into the cocoa before he opened the microwave, popping the drink in to warm. He nodded a few times before he told the address to the person at the other end of the call. The microwave pinged, announcing the drink was prepared for him to remove it and he took it out, ending the call before he went through to hand the mug to Kate, before he went to get the blanket from the bedroom to cover her in.
"Harm..." she sighed when he returned and began to tuck her under it.
He looked into her eyes and then continued to tuck her into the covers before he went to move away from her.
"Harm, please don't be like this." she sighed, looking up to Harm, staring into his eyes.
"Like what?"
"Like...this..." Caitlin answered him, "The way you're being now."
Harm raised his brows as Caitlin answered him, "I'm not being like anything -"
"There you go!" Kate hissed a little.
"Oh, come on!"
"No, Harm! I won't."
"What is wrong with you?!" Harm snapped a little, regretting it immediately.
"With me?!" Kate yelled back after a few seconds pause, "Try with YOU!" she glared at Harm when he couldn't answer her, she flung her arms in the air, "Yes, exactly!"
Harm watched her as she stood up and flung the covers back, spilling the cocoa in the process before she shook her head, passing him and brushing by him harshly. Harm grabbed her arm loosely and spun her round to face him, "Kate, come on.." he said softly.
Caitlin sighed softly and looked up to him and she shook her head a little, "Why did you pull back?"
Harm softly avoided the question as he tucked back Caitlin's hair and smiled softly to her.
"Harm?!" she grabbed his hand and looked to him expectantly.
"I don't think you're ready..." he told her.
Caitlin looked to him confused, "Ready for what?"
"You went to kiss me right? And you brought up about the mittens..." he pointed out.
"Yeah, and?"
"Well, were you hoping to start something?"
Kate looked to Harm, raising her brows. He totally had her figured out, "Maybe..." she replied softly, looking down a little.
Harm chuckled a little and smirked to himself, "I knew it..." he replied, sounding so sure of himself.
"Mhm, you did?" she then looked to him and nodded, playing along with him.
"There's that smile that I love so much."
'Did he just say he loves my smile?' Caitlin thought to herself, before she giggled, blushing a little.
"Oh come on, the Great Pike, embarrassed? Please!" Harm nudged her arm a little.
"Harm..." she giggled and looked to him. Softly, Harm smiled and he gently leaned in to kiss Caitlin. It was her turn to pull back now, smirking, "Oh I don't think so, pal."
"What's wrong?" Harm questioned.
"Oh Mr Rabb doesn't like rejection now..?" she smirked, teasing him.
"Well, nobody does..." he pointed out, smiling a little more as he watched her, "You're beautiful you know."
Kate chuckled, tilting her head back as she let the laugh out, "Oh don't try it!" she told him and she shook her head.
"Try what?" he questioned and smirked before he pulled her closer to his body, "This?"
"Yes!" Caitlin giggled.
"Okay. Do it!" he held her to him.
"Harm!!" Caitlin giggled and tried pushing away from him, though not very hard.
Harm looked into her blue eyes and moved his hands up her back, beginning to tickle her. He found she pressed more against his body as he continued to tickle her, hearing her giggle as his fingers moved over her shirt, under the material and across her skin. Harm leaned down to kiss over her neck and she stumbled backwards a little, and because he was holding tightly to her, he fell with her back onto the sofa, still tickling her body and she giggled.
"Oh Harm, stop!!" she giggled in between breaths and looking to him.
"Say the magic word!" he chuckled, tickling her merciless.
Mustering up as much strength as she could, Caitlin managed to flip them over, pinning Harm down, "Pinned ya!" she smirked with a proud expression.
"Okay, those'll do." Harm chuckled and nodded, looking up at her and smiling to her a little breathless but not as much as her, "I'm sorry...you didn't pass your fitness assessment Lieutenant Pike."
She looked down to him and she chuckled, "You're such a fool, Harm! But you know I love you really."
Both of them suddenly realised what she'd said to him and the smiles faded, turning into expressions of inquisition and shock, "Y...you love me?" he asked her.
"I..." Kate sighed a little, her mouth open a little before she nodded slowly, "I do."
"I do too." he replied.
"You do?" she smiled to him.
"I love you I mean, not me...well -" he was cut off by Caitlin pressing her lips to his fully, in a deep, passion filled kiss. Harm could tell she loved him, just from that kiss. When she pulled back, he smiled to her and stroked her cheek, after he got one of his hands free from her grip, "For what it's worth...the kiss yesterday was really something." he told her, smiling.
