"How would you feel... living a little closer to the library?" she asked casually; totally the best and most natural way to keep up their conversation about moving in together!

   He inhaled steadily as she held him back,  comforted by the slow movements of her hands as they drew patterns against his back.  Jack pressed a kiss to her neck,  then another to her collarbone,  and hid his laugh when she poked him.  "Yeah.  We'll figure it out together,"  he agreed,  excited about their future and the new place they'd find together!  There was no journey he didn't want to experience with Kate.  "Thanks for doin' all this with me.  I love you."

She was quick to respond to the hug, wrapping her arms just as tightly around him in return— getting comfortable beside him, as she nestled herself further into his embrace. "It's also valid," she reassured him, tracing mindless patterns over his back and ribs as she held him. "It'll give you time to think on how you want to approach this. Maybe, after you're settled— after *we* are settled. Wow. It's amazing to say it out loud. We'll be living together!" she exclaimed excitedly, poking him playfully in an attempt to cheer him up, comfort him and make him smile, all at once! "—you'll be able to think through it all, calmly, taking your time... and then you'll figure this out, yes?"

  He moved to put the file on the bedside table,  not able to keep hold of it for much longer because it was all becoming a lot!  He turned to Kate and wrapped both his arms around her—  hiding his face against her neck and thinking about how the hell they'd do any of this.  "Hm.  I dunno.  Maybe I should wait 'til after we move.  Do one thing at a time,  y'know?  Maybe then I'll....  actually think about what I should do."

"So... have you decided on what you would like to do about... *that*?" she asked him, as she ran her fingers gently through his hair-- looking down at him as he laid his head on her lap. A film was playing on tv, but really... neither of them were paying that much attention. "I'm not pressuring you nor anything! ...Just checking, really."

"It ain't cheating... it's a... clean diversion tactic." she defended herself with a soft laugh. And then she just... took a moment to look into her boyfriend's eyes, taking in all the details that composed those beautiful art pieces.
            She was soooo damn in love that it almost hurt! But that was probably only 'cause they weren't *close* enough. The second kiss totally fixed that, though! And she couldn't help but smile into it, responding with all her love for him.

   Her touch and her words were melting together to weaken him entirely,  even though he'd been at that point just at the sight of her.  She radiated a brilliance,  with Jack feeling like a moth to a flame in the vicinity of it.  He was about to joke about something,  or perhaps even defend her,  but the kiss succeeded in distracting him.  "You're cheatin'.  Ain't fair,"  he muttered jokingly,  still not moving far back enough to look at her chastisingly.  So he leaned in for another kiss instead.

That sounded like the perfect dream, honestly. Even better, for when she would open the eyes in the morning, it would remain her reality instead of vanishing away. Her sweet boyfriend, her 'partner in crime' (metaphorically speaking only, of course!) would still be there, by her side. "I love you, too." she looked at him fondly, brushing her fingers through his hair still. "Ooohh... look at us, being fancy, cultured people and two responsible adults. Arguably regarding me, I'm aware— ssshhh." she kissed him playfully before he had time to agree with her take.

   Jack certainly would refute that!  She knew him far too well,  so he couldn't even say it out loud like he would've done.  He checked over everything in the library a few times,  looking slightly to Kate as if to ask her to commit all of the locking to memory  (  so when he worried,  late at night,  that he hadn't locked the door and everyone would die somehow,  she could inform him that he had locked the door because she  *watched*  him do it  )  and smiled to her.  "Great,"  he's satisfied with her reply once they hit the outdoors and the doors are locked,  so they can begin the proper walk home.  "Thanks.  I love you."

   "Well that's 'cause you're the best at what'cha do,  beautiful,"  he smiled lightly,  for the first proper time amidst the conversation,  because she was good.  And perhaps he was using the fact that  *he*  couldn't find him as an excuse.  Kate was incredible,  and she would be able to find him.  He led her through the library and went through his closing routine,  keeping a tight hold of her hand and thinking about the silent support she was sending him.  "Yeah.  Maybe I'll put the information I have together for you.  But you'll have to let me getcha dinner to repay you."

   He let her cup his face and shift them separate slightly,  all to stare at her face and her eyes and listen to her words.  "Yeah.  I know,  you're right,"  he was confident because he knew she'd never do anything he specifically didn't want her to do.  She was the first person to truly let him choose things for himself,  and he felt so much safer in that.  He accepted Kate's advice for what it was,  and still knew that he could do whatever he wanted about it—  Jack would never hold her support against her.  "I'll...  think about it,  I guess.  I can't really remember his...  last name.  So.  It'd be a difficult job to find him."  He chuckled with humility,  standing up after her and taking her hand fondly.

   He let her words settle amongst the sound of her heart,  trying to find himself somewhere in between the two—  she made it all sound so easy,  especially when she asked for his  *name*.  So he didn't reply to anything for a few seconds,  because he was so...  conflicted.  "No,  don't worry,  s'fine.  I don't think he'd—  or I'd even—  listen,  s'complicated.  I was prob'ly overthinkin' it again.  We should just go home."

   He chuckled at the reply but felt a little bad that she wouldn't know why,  shaking his head at the actual sentiment of it though.  She didn't think she'd done anything.  Kate was crazy.  He leaned forward to hide his face against her chest,  turning his head to listen closely to her heartbeat and try to count each beat.  "I dunno how to."  He was useless with technology beyond the library systems,  and he wouldn't even know where to start in actually finding him.  "He wouldn't wanna hear from me anyway.  He thinks I'm dead."

   He considered her offer for a long moment,  eyebrows furrowed together in concern that he'd be oversharing or sounding a little crazy.  "I already dunno how to thank you for the things ya do for me,  baby,"  he spoke gently,  like it was something he'd been thinking about often and couldn't quite communicate,  as he brushed a hand up and down her thigh thoughtfully.  "S'no big deal,  anyway.  Just thinking about my brother.  S'weird.  I guess I saw a poster about an event at the University he used to go to years ago and it got me thinkin'."

   It was only then that he realised she asked because he was supposed to be locking up.  He was supposed to be putting the last things in place to leave,  that's why she was here,  but he'd actually got another book out and started something else.  This was really embarrassing.  He was figuring it all out as she moved around and,  when he was back in the room,  she was looking at him with that kicked puppy expression.  "Thinking about family,  is all,"  he offered as a half honest answer,  head leaned back to look at her as an arm came to settle around her waist.  "You don't have to worry."

  He took a moment to figure out if she was talking about him,  but the way she wrapped her arms around him became enough of an answer.  He let himself hide away in her touch,  sparing one last glance to the books he hadn't even been paying attention to.  "Yeah,  I'm okay,"  he offered,  voice quiet and thoughtful.  "Maybe just a little tired.  M'sorry.  I'm boring company."
