Author notes: this was just something I wrote after meeting Rikki, I don't
intend to carry on with it unless anyone really really wants me to. N'joy

"It's not one of those things though," shouted Rikki
"It is, what do you think it is forbidden?" said Jess calmly.
Jess and Rikki were sitting on the stage at the theatre royal, talking about the things that had happened during the show which had finished the previous night.
"I was drunk Jess, just because you don't agree with it doesn't mean I can't okay, you don't own me" said Rikki sternly
"I know I don't own you it's just your a good friend and I don't want you getting so drunk you pass out" explained Jess
"I didn't pass out though!" shouted Rikki
"I literally had to carry you to the car and drive you to Sprowston and when we got there you wouldn't get out of the car" said Jess angrily
"So!" said Rikki, "okay I thank you for taking me to your house then but I'm 28 and you are not my mother!"
"But Rikki I care about you!" she shouted standing up and walking off.
He sighed and walked over to Jess who was standing just inside one of the wings of the stage, he hated to see her pissed off.
He stood behind her and put his hands on her arms, "look Jess I'm sorry"
Jess turned around to face him, wrapping her arms round his neck. "please don't drink like that again then"
He smiled, his cheeky smile, "I'll try not to" he pulled her into a hug, "I still can't believe it's all over though"
Jess pulled away from Rikki's tight embrace, "I know it's really strange, I hate ending a show though I always get nostalgic" she laughed.
"There's always next year" said Rikki, "Oh are you coming to my stand up show in London in a few weeks time?"
"Yes, I wouldn't miss it for the world" said Jess.
Jess and Rikki had spent so much time together during the show, as most of their scenes were with one-an-other. Rikki had also been coaching Jess on some stand up techniques.
"Good, you can come backstage if you want, the theatre is huge. You'd love it" he smiled at her.
"Can I ask you something Rikki?"
Rikki nodded solemnly.
"Why did you ask me to come here? It can't have been just to reminisce and to argue" she tilted her head to the side as if trying to look for a deeper meaning in Rikki's eyes.
"You want to know the real truth?" he asked, not really meaning it as a question.
Jess nodded.
"I knew that if we didn't talk as soon as the show had finished we wouldn't see each other for ages and i don't think i could handle that." he said
Jess smiled, "Rikki, you know i would make every effort to see you" she paused, "Rikki, i know you to well and there's something you are not telling me"
Rikki walked closer to her, "I don't know if this will explain anything but it might" Rikki carefully leant in placing his lips on Jess'
