Blake sighed contentedly.
It was night time on Menagerie and she was sitting cross legged on the floor of her and Jason's room, beside the roaring fireplace, reading a book.
She purred happily as she felt Jason's hands move through her hair as he undid her long braid, allowing her dark hair to cascade down her back.
When he was done, Jason came to sit beside her.
Marking her place, Blake put the book down and smiled at him.
Jason glanced down at the cover of the book.
"A Tale From The Shattered Lighthouse. Not a bad choice although the ending-"
Blake put a finger to his lips.
"Shhh. I haven't finished it yet."
Jason chuckled.
"Fair enough."
Blake looked around at the bookshelves that lined almost one whole wall of the room.
"Perfect paradise."
She said, laying on her back on the ursa-pelt rug.
"Really?
Jason said, looking down at her.
Blake nodded.
"You know me. Growing up I used to love getting lost in stories."
Jason nodded.
"Books were often my escape as well."
Blake put a hand up and ran it through his hair.
Jason glanced at the small stack of books on the table beside the fireplace.
"Consumed. Call Of The Heart. Ninjas Of Love."
He smiled.
"Feeling romantic tonight?"
Blake blushed slightly, pulling him into a light kiss.
Jason held it for a moment, feeling the warmth of the fire wash over them. The weapons, still in their place above the fireplace, glinted in the soft, orange glow.
Pulling back, Jason smiled down at her, once again allowing his hands to run through her hair.
He lay down beside her on the rug, enjoying the soft feel of the ursa pelt on the back of his neck.
It reminded him of his time in that cave with Blake, the only constant in Salem's crazy world of tricks and lies.
Evidently Blake was having similar thoughts as she held his hand as she spoke softly.
"That time is over, Jason. We're home now."
Jason couldn't help but smile.
"I know Blake. But that doesn't change the fact that you were there for me when I needed you the most– thank you for that."
Blake smiled and kissed his cheek gently.
"I'll always be there for you, Jason."
He smiled back.
"And I for you."
