Snuggles

snuggle with someonespecial

What better time than these cool, crisp mornings or rapidly lengthening nights to jump right under a warm blanket with that irreplaceable person in your life? Even if you're not sleeping together - heck, even if you've not been straight with your feelings and you're not officially an "item" - there's nothing wrong with cuddling up. Grab a book, get some hot cocoa, turn on the TV (if you're in an era where the tube's available), or just enjoy each other's presence on the couch or in the bed.

"Yeah, maybe..." He mumbles at the comment about Nina. But it's Inej that has his voice catching. "What if she doesn't?" She's the one, besides Kaz, that's been around the longest, and it's honestly a little like a piece of him is going to be torn out to watch her sail away.

He can't help the half-smile the endearing awkwardness from the other boy brings to his lips. "Just come here," he mumbles as he grabs a fistful of Wylan's shirt and tugs him down. Once he's settled, Jesper shifts a little, curling easily into him, head on his chest with his ear pressed to listen to the soft thrum of his heartbeat. He loops an arm loosely around Wylan's waist, easily escapable if he really wanted to. Jesper hopes he doesn't.

"She'll be back," he responded, full of confidence because there were some things he naturally noticed with the group. He tended to watch a lot of the time, force of habit from how he grew up and because of it he saw what others might not notice. Picking up on little things had kept him alive plenty of times.

Allowing for Jesper to move him around, his breath hitched a little with the proximity. The flare of heat spread through him at the closeness and he liked it. He liked it a lot. "Are you comfortable?" he asked, just to make sure, his own arm looping around Jesper, still somewhat timid. Sometimes Jesper reminded him of a wounded bird and he never wanted to make him try to fly away and fail.

He nods a little, not quite in agreement, but he needs to believe it. That they won't just all leave and go their separate ways forever. These people had become his family over the last few years, some newer than others, but the bond was there just the same.

Jesper feels it first in his chest, in the way he suddenly doesn't have enough room for the air in his lungs to move. Then the tightness crawls up the back of his throat, threatening to choke him. He nods at Wylan's question, unable to trust his own voice as his eyes sting with tears.

He buries his face against Wylan when the other boy's arm come around him, fingers fisting in his shirt. "Everything's changing..." he whispers, voice tight, Zemeni accent suddenly thicker.

Maybe he is a wounded bird, after all.
