Momoko's Apartment, El Paso, Texas, Tuesday Night

[weldedtomyspine]

Jaime finished the last bite of fish and leaned back in his chair with a satisfied sigh. "That was pretty good," he told his dinner companion with a smile. "I didn't know you could fry fish so well." Not to mention the salad. Which hadn't been anything special, but had been very nice.

He took a moment to just appreciate it, then looked across the table. "So... you want dessert now, or do you need to digest first?" He'd brought a cake. Too big for two people, honestly, but he rather suspected that, given Momoko, that wouldn't really be a problem. Either they'd eat it all tonight, or she'd have some for later.

"Back then, that was the only way I could get a kiss from you." She squeezed him gently. "But there was a bit of excitement in it, I gotta say."

[weldedtomyspine]

"You never tried asking," Jaime pointed out teasingly.

[heromaniac]

"You were dating my best friend?"

[weldedtomyspine]

Point.

"What about before that?"

[heromaniac]

"Hmm." She shifted and ran her hand up his back as she thought a moment. "It took a while for me to figure out why it was different suddenly, hanging out with you."

[weldedtomyspine]

"Yeah?" Jaime leaned forward to rest his forehead against hers. "I'm not that confusing, am I?"

[heromaniac]

"You are! One moment you're my best friend and the next, I can't stop my heart from exploding when you smile at me from down the hall."

[weldedtomyspine]

"You're my best friend, and most of the time I feel that way around you." So maybe he could be both, too...

[heromaniac]

Momoko chuckled fondly. "Copy cat."

[weldedtomyspine]

"Hey, I recognize a good idea when I hear one!"

[heromaniac]

"Do you really?" Why yes, that was an evil smile, Jaime.

[weldedtomyspine]

Jaime aimed a teasingly skeptical look at her. "And what happens if I say 'yes'?"

[heromaniac]

"Oh. Maybe I'd need to test you or something? Gather proof."

[weldedtomyspine]

"Mhmm." His eyes narrowed. "You're thinking something." Something devious, probably.

[heromaniac]

"I am." She was.

[weldedtomyspine]

"You going to share, or do I need to figure out a way to make you talk?" He'd be willing to try!

[heromaniac]

"Do you really think you can?" Oooh. His idea was sounding way better! "I'm pretty good at keeping a secret."

No she wasn't, but in this game? She'd totally try.

[weldedtomyspine]

"Ah, but I know a bunch of your weak points," Jaime said with a slow grin. "It probably won't take me long."

[heromaniac]

"Are you sure? It's been a while. Maybe I've grown an immunity or something."

Ahahahahahahahahahaha!

[weldedtomyspine]

Jaime looked over at her very seriously. "If you have grown an immunity to my charms, I think I shall be very, very sad."

[heromaniac]

"Well, that won't do," She pouted and pulled her untrapped hand around to trace the contours of his face. "Your sad face is cute, but totally not my favourite one you make."

[weldedtomyspine]

"So... say it ain't so," Jaime said with a grin.

[heromaniac]

She chuckled lightly and tapped his cheek with a finger. "No immunity. You can still make me go weak at the knees with just a smile."

...

"And I still find it adorably cute when you're wrong about Bitter Woman's canon."

[weldedtomyspine]

"Ah, ah, ah," Jaime said, shaking his head slightly with a grin. "No trying to distract me with your silly ideas about comics."

[heromaniac]

Heh. See? Totally cute grin.

"And what am I supposed to be distracting you from, exactly?" she asked. "I don't notice anything happening."
