Everyday Moments Of Perfection
A/N: Jasper and Alice watch the best romantic movie EVER. Romeo + Juliet. The good version. The Baz Luhrmann version. :)
"You pick the movie," Alice smiled, prodding Jasper playfully in the shoulder.
"Why don't you just tell me what am I going to pick?" asked Jasper wryly.
Alice's smile grew larger. "I see you picking The Matrix. Which is why I'm saying no, right now. I don't like the ending."
"You haven't seen The Matrix," said Jasper, frowning.
Alice raised an eyebrow. "I have visions of stuff. That includes movie endings, Jazz."
"Oh, yeah," Jasper said. "Forgot."
Alice smiled and hugged Jasper, who picked her up with no effort. She gave him a butterfly kiss on his nose and buried her face in his neck. He whispered in her ear, "So what do you want to watch?"
Alice considered. Then she smiled.

Two hours later, Alice and Jasper were lying on the sofa, watching as Juliet put a bullet in her skull. Alice watched, wide-eyed. Jasper read her feelings and knew she would be crying if she had the capacity to do so.
"That's just… so sad," Alice said mournfully.
Jasper sat up and kissed Alice's neck. "It's just a movie, my love."
Alice smiled, showing little dimples on her cheek. "I know. But still."
"I hate feeling your sadness," Jasper said, kissing Alice just below her ear.
"I'm sorry," Alice replied, putting her head on Jasper's chest.
"Why do you like that film?" asked Jasper. "Personally I don't get it. I mean, I do get the whole dying for love thing. It's just… they were so young. How did they know they really loved each other?"
"Well…" said Alice, playing with Jasper's shirt. "Maybe they just recognised something in each other." She met Jasper's eyes. "Like I did in you."
Jasper's eyes softened. He kissed Alice's forehead.
"Maybe so."
Alice sighed. "Well, what do you want to do now?"
"Watch The Matrix?" Jasper laughed.
"The Matrix Four just ruined it for me," Alice replied, sighing.
"There isn't a Matrix Four," Jasper said, his nose wrinkling with confusion.
"Yet."
