Beginnings?:
Jaina awoke with a start. She was startled to see find muscular arms encircling her, and holding her tightly. It all came crashing back, flooding her memories, her blowing Jag off, her crying she was a failure, Jag comforting her. "Some evening," she muttered. Jag stirred. He released her, embarrassed, seeing she was awake.
"Oh, um, hi," he stuttered.
"Hi," Jaina said, a smile playing across her lips.
"I, um, guess I'll be going now," he said uncertainly.
"You don't have to, unless you want to," Jaina shrugged.
"Are you ok?" he asked nervously.
"Had a weird dream, but otherwise, yeah, I'm fine."
"You want to talk about it?"
"No, not really. You wouldn't understand."
"Why wouldn't I understand?" he demanded, hurt.
"Don't be mad at me! It's a Jedi thing." She pleaded. "Really."
Jag cocked an eyebrow at her. "I might be persuaded to forgive you, of course, for insulting me so deeply, if you-" he was cut off as Jaina leaned over and kissed him. He blinked in surprise.
"That wasn't exactly what I had in mind, but that works." he said.
Jaina grinned. "Anything to shut you up. But, what did you have in mind, Colonel?"
"I forgot. Kiss me again, maybe I'll remember." he suggested. Jaina grinned, and kissed his cheek. He laughed.
"Well, I better get going, I'll see you in the mess later on, ok?" he teased. Jaina rolled her eyes, and stretched lazily. Jag smiled uncertainly.
"Really, though, was time is it?" he asked.
Jaina sighed, and pulled out her chrono. "0500." She said.
"Serious!" he exclaimed.
"Would I lie to you?" she said sweetly. Jag replied, "I got to go. Want to grab breakfast with me?"
"This early?" she said dubiously.
"Course, what time do you get up?"
"Umm, 0700 or so."
"You really sleep late, you know that?" he told her.
"Really? I always thought I was an early riser!" she grinned. "C'mon, let's go!" she tugged him to his feet.
"You realize, it's not going to look good if people notice we're wearing the same stuff we wore yesterday, and it's wrinkled, and we're together?" Jag laughed.
"They can imagine what their dirty little minds will, but nothing like that happened." Jaina said.
Jag collected his thought, and just before he could say anything, Jaina spoke up.
"Listen, Jag, I want to thank you for being there for me last night. I wasn't being the friendliest at the time, but you stuck with me, and I really appreciate it. Thanks." She smiled at him.
"You're welcome, Jaina. Anytime you need me, I'm right here for you." he told her.
"Thanks, Jag. That means a lot."
