Seahorse common room, Saturday afternoon

This is Jaye in a good mood. This should not come as a shock to the other residents of Seahorse A. But really, they brought back doughnuts and there's a toaster (which looks a little bit sheep-like, really) in case anyone wants that. It's something to alleviate the trauma. ~~Yep uh huh but totally not.~~

And yes, Jaye totally knows introducing the toaster to the cabin full of boys and shirtless signs is a bad idea, but at least it could be a fun bad idea.

Jack blinked. "I can't help but feel rejected. Avoiding questions like that is usually a bad sign." He sighed sadly. "And now my heart is broken. I'll never love again."

"Need a hug?" Jaye asks seriously.

Fighting a grin, he nodded sadly. "I think I might be in need of serious comforting here."

"I can't believe I'm hugging you over toaster heartbreak," she laughs, and outstretches her arms.

Jack laughed and wrapped his arms around her, lifting her off her feet. "Well, toaster heartbreak. Is there any greater pain?" He set her down and grinned at her. "You're a generous woman, to comfort me in my time of need."

She grins back, because she can't not. Seriously, it's impossible. "Well, you know," she says. "I'm there for you."

"Thank you," he replied, matching her grin. "And its very much mutual, as you know. At your beck and call, and all that."

"Oh, trust me. Hasn't slipped my mind," she assures him.

"Good. I'd hate for you to start forgetting important things like that," he said. "But what have you been up to? Do anything exciting and fun with your Friday night?"

Jaye might wince a little. Just a little. "Um. Had a date. What about you?"

"Had a non-date, which was fun," he replied. "But Jaye! A date. Spill. With who, where did you go, did you have fun, and does this mean no more beck and calling?"

She has no idea why she expected something different, but she's totally okay with this response. "Alec," she says. "We went to J,GOB, had fun, yes. And I am really really bad at boyfriends so it's not going that far, so I think we're good."

"Alec is very nice," Jack said appreciatively. "One of the highlights of this whole cabin experience. You certainly have excellent taste." Smiling wickedly down at her, he trailed a finger down the side of her face. "But if it's not serious, then I'll look forward to possible future becking or calling."

"Keep looking forward to it," she tells him, nodding.

"I will, Jaye," he said seriously. "Never doubt that."

"So, can I ask you something?" she asks, because she's curious. "Even if the whole becking and calling thing didn't happen, I at least get a good ego-stroke out of this, because you're the best ever at it. What do you get?"

"You can ask. In fact, you just did. And thank you," he said. Leaning back against the counter, he looked at her curiously. "I'm not sure what you mean by 'what do I get'."

"I'm not totally sure," she admits. "I'm not used to the whole possible friends-with-benefits thing working out the way it's actually supposed to. Especially when I keep going 'eek, no, wait'. I mean, everything's just cool being the way it is?"

"Okay, I think I understand. You're waiting for me to, what, start making demands, or get jealous because you had a date with Alec?" he asked. "That's not going to happen. I like you, like spending time with you." He shrugged. "That's what I get out of it, no matter where it ends up."

"Good," she says. "I mean, not that I thought you would, really, but I think I just... had to get that out there. Good answer, by the way," she smiles.

"I'm glad we're on the same wavelength." he said. "It's always better to ask if you want to know something. I don't like the idea of there being misunderstandings." Laughing, he added, "And it's not like I'm shy. There's pretty much nothing you can't ask me."

"Hm. I'm going to have to remember that for when I come up with some nice and possibly embarrassing questions," she says.

"I also don't embarrass. At all." He waggled his eyebrows at her and grinned hugely. "I'll look forward to any quetions you might care to ask."

If Jaye looks thoughtful, it's because she's trying to come up with one and can't. "I'll work on it," she promises.

"If you can come up with a question that embarrasses me, I'll give you anything your heart desires."
