101 Kisses

A collection of drabbles using the '101 Kisses' challenge themes. Between Rei and Jadeite, spanning from the Silver Millienium though Crystal Tokyo. Rated M, but mostly it's T, one or two drabbles might be pushing it.

Photograph

"What's this?"

"A photograph—of me apparently."

"Yes, I see that." Rei let her exasperation color her tone. Looking at the photo again, it was a head shot of Jed. Judging by the little bit of background that was showing, he was at the arcade. He was looking at something out of sight of the camera.

"When was it taken? What were you looking at?"

"I don't remember, Lita must have taken it when she when doing that photography class." He didn't e even look up from the dishes he was wrapping in paper.

"What were you looking at? You're smiling."

"I always smile!" Now Jed had stopped his work with the dishes and was looking at her with a mix of defensiveness and indignation.

"No, you don't. Not like this."

"Yes I do, that's how I smile."

"No, you're happy. You're glowing."

"I am not glowing. I'm just smiling like I always do."

"No your not. I've never seen you smile like this before." Reid countered as she placed the photograph inside the folder of other things for Lita to go through later. She had no way of knowing, and Jed probably didn't remember, that what he was looking at when that picture was taken, was she had just breezed into the doors of the arcade.
