ALICE

Chapter Nine

A/N Song is Alone by Alan Walker (Again. I think I'm inadvertently starting to turn it into the Cheshroy theme song for this fanfic.)   I think you'll like this chapter! (I hope so, at least.)  

: )  P.S. It turned out that I inadvertently lied in my Heart Attack oneshot. I recently decided to bump up the Cheshroy romance by a few chapters. Hope you don't mind! (Haha. It would be weird if you did.) I don't own YJ. (Hey, look. I remembered the disclaimer!)

Roy's POV

Wally and I drag an extra tv to the infirmary. I'm excited. We're going to watch Iron Man. I love that movie. Once we get it into the infirmary, we set it up while the girls just lay on their backs, watching.

I get put on remote duty. After we turn off the lights, Wally and I run over to the girls's beds and jump onto them. "Scoot over," We say in unison.

Cheshire chuckles. "Your butt I'll scoot over," She says. Only she doesn't use the word butt. And she scoots over anyway. Alice does the same for Wally. I press play.

About half an hour into the movie, I decide to do what I've been debating for a while. I slide my arm around Chesh, knowing full well that she has the ability to rip my arm off. I doubt the bracelets shocking her will do much if she gets angry enough. As I suspected, she stiffens at me touch. Then she surprises me.

She relaxes and leans against me, laying her head on my shoulder. I'm shocked and it most show, because she snickers at me. "Get used to it, Red," She says with a cheshire smile. Well, I guess ALL of her smiles are Cheshire smiles, but you know what I mean. I mentally scream with joy, but I manage to keep it inside. I smile in return and squeeze her tighter.

"You're something else, Chesh," I say with a grin.

"Jade," She says quietly.

"What?" I ask, confused.

"Jade," She says a little louder. "You can call me Jade. Sometimes."

"Ok, Jade," I say and for some reason saying that makes me really happy. Maybe it's because Alice is the only other person here that she lets call her by her real name.

At the end of the movie, Jade sighs. "That was good," She says with a yawn. Her breathing is slow and steady a minute later, and I know she fell asleep. I don't move because I don't want to wake her.

"Bye, Kid Idiot," Alice says.

"Bye, Arty!" KF replies.

"Don't call me that!"

"Fine," He says, rolling his eyes. "Bye, Alice." He leaves the room, waving at her. Then he sticks his head around the door. "You coming, Ro-Red?"

I look down at Jade, to the best of my ability, at least, and smile at her sleeping face, which was completely peaceful. I've never seen it like this before. "In a minute," I reply. I close my eyes, intending to only stay for a minute or two. Do I end up leaving? Well let's just say when I wake up, still in the infirmary after what feels like just minutes later, the clock says 5:45 am and Jade is starting to stir. Her eyes flutter open and she looks at me.

"I think I might just be in love with you, Roy Harper," She says.

"Well, think that I might just be in love with you, too, Jade Nguyen," I reply and then it hits me. "Wait, you know my real name? How do you know my real name?!"

She just closes her eyes again and goes back to sleep. I want to wake her back up, but I feel my tired body betray me, and I follow her back into the world of sleep.

A/N So how'd you like it? Seriously. Good night or whatever. TTYL. God bless!-Emma
