"Seth? Love, wake up." Seth opened his eyes, blinking to get used to the dark as Jasper shook him slightly. He sat upright in bed, yawning and looking out the window. The sky was pitch black.
"What time is it?" he asked Jasper, who was packing both their bags.
"It's almost 2. The flight's at 4. I thought it'd be better to get to Vancouver early, before it gets too bright." Seth got out of bed and took a quick shower, deciding not to change his clothes since he just showered hours ago. They checked out of the inn and got into the Porsche. Jasper was driving again.
"You could sleep during the drive if you want to, or you could sleep on the plane. I don't want you being tired," he said, getting into the driver's seat and tugging at his seat belt, which he didn't really need.
"No, I'm fine." Seth flashed Jasper a small smile, which he returned, starting the engine. Seattle airport wasn't too far away and they got there in time to check in. Jasper gave the guard their passports. She dumped their bags after the check on the counter, not finding anything suspicious, and let them onto the plane.
They found their seats in a corner of the aisle, slightly secluded. Seth pushed up his armrest so he could sit as close to Jasper as possible. Takeoff was smooth. Seth was grateful for it, being deathly afraid of flights since he was a kid. He was scared even with Jasper there. The air stewardesses brought them both peanuts. One of them walked up to Jasper.
"Jasper Hale?" Both of them looked up. She was blond, with waist length hair tied back in a ponytail. Her uniform clung to her perfect figure and her face had just the right amount of makeup. If Seth hadn't been in love with Jasper, or gay, he would have thought she was gorgeous. Jasper answered her politely.
"I'm Jasper. Have I seen you somewhere?"
"It's me, Jessica, from High School. You haven't changed one bit," she said, putting a hand on one of Jasper's arms. Jasper nodded. They must have known each other.
"I can't believe it! You look great yourself!" So now Jasper was flirting back. Seth moved away from him and looked out the window, concentrating on the outlines of the clouds outside for some something to do. She laughed, a high, tinkling sound.
"It's all part of the job. Who's that beside you?"
"I'm sorry I didn't introduce you two earlier. This is Seth." Seth gave her a quick smile and returned his gaze to the clouds.
"Your, friend?" Jasper laughed and put a arm around Seth.
"Actually, we're more than that." She realized what he meant, and her demeanor changed immediately. She looked at Seth like he was a cockroach.
"Oh. Well, okay then. I've got to get back to work anyway. If you need anything just ask," she said, giving Jasper a plastic smile and heading off. Seth watched her leave, still annoyed.
"Barbie doll," he muttered under his breath. Jasper laughed.
"If it makes you feel any better, I never really liked her." Seth felt his emotions change into the calmness Jasper always put on him. He sighed, putting his head on Jasper's chest.
"I guess." Jasper kissed his head.
"She's not my type either. I prefer tall, dark and handsome." Jasper was a few inches taller than Seth, who barely hit six feet, but he knew what he meant. He smiled to himself, a gesture Jasper noticed. He pushed Seth's chin up slowly with two of his fingers and kissed him on the lips.
"I love you, Seth," Jasper muttered through the kiss. Seth deepened the kiss to reply, running his fingers through Jasper's hair. The plane jerked and they were trust apart.
"Turbulence," Jasper said. Seth nodded slowly, getting paler. Jasper looked at him, worried. He wasn't sure how werewolves would take to airplanes. Maybe it would have been better if they had just drove there the entire way, he thought, as Seth got up and rushed to the bathroom. He got back after a while, looking disheveled with his messy hair and his skin an odd tinge of green. Jasper tucked a blanket around him once he'd sat back down.
"Do you need anything? Water?" Seth shook his head and closed his eyes, leaning on his headrest. A feminine, high voice spoke from next to them. It was another one of the air stewardesses, just as gorgeous as Jessica, and just as annoying.
"You two look pale, would you like anything? Water? Peanuts?" She asked, putting a hand on Jasper's shoulder. Somehow it seemed food was the last thing Seth wanted at this point, as he searched through the seat pocket in front of him without mercy, looking for a paper bag.
