Anonymous: "prompt of jackson and aprils first kiss?"

Hi noni! So here's the thing…While I do write AU worlds to an extent, there's some lines I just don't know how to cross/blur/whatever. I'm sure one day I might think of something that works but for now….I can't think of an AU first kiss that tops cannon. But I thought of a cute possibility for a Second Married kiss and I hope you like this and don't mind. :)

100 Encore, Day 51: "This Kiss"

"Jackson, hey…look at me." She put her hand on his cheek and turned his face so he was looking in her eyes. "Babe we were supposed to kiss as you carried me over the threshold."

He looked away again, walking over to the champagne and chocolate covered strawberries. "I know. Hey look….let's have a drink." But he wasn't going to get off that easy.

"Jackson, we just got married. We just kissed. Are you…are you having second thoughts or…"

"No! No second thoughts promise just…" He handed her a champagne glass.

"Oh my God, are you nervous? Why are you nervous? We've kissed so many times in the past 24 hours. So many times!"

"I know. Of course…let's just toast ok? Let's toast."

She shrugged. "Ok…To us taking leaps of faith together, forever." They clinked glasses. April sipped hers, and watched her husband guzzle his whole thing. "Here, need another minute? Have a strawberry."

He grinned and leaned in to let her feed him. "Your turn?" he asked, holding one out for her when he was done.

She shook her head. "Babe, kiss me!"

"Just eat a strawberry first." April rolled her eyes but opened her mouth.

"Jackson, I'm having sex tonight. With my husband. That's you…" She glared at him to make sure it sunk in.

"April, I'm having sex tonight. With my wife. That's you."

"Well, I like the kissing thing that happens along with the touching and the…you know…thrusting and stuff." She blushed.

"Me too babe," he squeezed her hand.

"But you're nervous?"

"Not really nervous just…..I want to remember this."

"This exact kiss?" She wrinkled her nose, giving him the look she reserved just for him. The one that unequivocally asked, 'Are you nuts?'

But he was sure. "This one."

"Why?"

"It's our second married kiss. But our first one alone together. I didn't want it to happen as I was carrying you over a door frame or in an elevator. I just wanted us to….relax a second and soak it in."

"...That just makes me want it even more…Are you ready yet?"

He nodded and pulled her face against his so their noses touched. They were quiet for a few seconds, just staring at each other, really taking in the last 24 hours for the first time.

"You're my husband, Jackson Avery." April broke the silence with laughter, she couldn't help it.

"You're my wife, April Kepner-Avery."

"It sounds so perfect."

"Mmmm perfect." He finally leaned in and kissed her, gently and slowly, and didn't stop all night.
