Room 417, Thursday evening

[fates_jaye]

It's becoming apparent to Jaye that she's not really getting out enough, save for that little side trip to the Sin the other day which was not for sex purposes thank you, but rather bothering-the-hookers purposes.

If she thinks too hard about that, she might end up putting in a call to Dr. Ron.

But she doesn't wanna, so she's hanging in her room with the door closed and actually reading her spam mail. She really should think too hard about that, because that's a sure sign she needs to get out.

[For he who knows who he is.]

Jaye looks at the open message on her screen. "Some girl named Candi is inviting me to see her webcam. She's a very bad speller." She pauses, and says, "I'm not looking at the webcam, so we're both clear."

"Awww," Jack said as he walked over to sit on the floor next to her and lean against her legs. "Poor Candi, she'll feel so rejected."

[fates_jaye]

"Oh, something tells me she's got all the middle-aged house husbands and fourteen-year-old boys she can handle," she assures him. "How're you doing?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"I'm varied, Jaye. It's been an interesting week," he replied, looking up at her. "You?"

[fates_jaye]

"Not so much with the varied, but it's been interesting," she shrugs. "Not the good kind."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack straightened, immediately concerned. "What happened?"

[fates_jaye]

"Anakin died and I changed my mind, you can hurt Dean," she replies, kind of easily.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"I heard about Anakin. I'm sorry," he said quietly, and he'd said it too many times this week. He was a bit amazed that one person's death could affect so many people, but he put it aside. "Consider Dean's life a living hell from this point forward. What made you change your mind?"

[fates_jaye]

"We talked a little in class the other day. Kinda. He was an ass and I told him to go away. At least Alec's apologetic," Jaye shrugs.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

There was an unpleasant idea niggling at the back of Jack's brain, and he had to ask. "Jaye? How did you find out that Alec was messing around with Dean?"

[fates_jaye]

"Dean told me at the newbie party," she says, frowning as she says it. "And then I guess Alec found out and we talked and now I'm here."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Dean told you. In public. Surrounded by new students." Jack was very glad he'd told Sam about what had happened. Once he told her the rest, there was no way Dean was going to escape unscathed. "God, that's low," he said, tone low and angry.

[fates_jaye]

She shrugs. "It's not a huge deal now," she says. "Sorry if I'm breaking Seahorse."

"You're a lot more important that a cabin, Jaye," Jack said seriously, then relaxed and grinned up at her. "Are you still in the market for a Jack of your very own?"

[fates_jaye]

She nods. "I tried searching Ebay but they were all cheap knockoffs," she tells him. "Maybe Amazon'll be better."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"They're pretty scarce. But if you're willing to settle for a loaner, minus the beck and calling privileges, I'm all yours," he offered. "At least for a few days."

[fates_jaye]

She looks down at him. "You're going to be my portable Jack for a few days?" she asks, grinning.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Yup. If you want me," he confirmed, matching her grin. "I'm not pocket-sized - even Sam said she couldn't manage that - but my feet make me portable, and I'm all yours."

[fates_jaye]

Jaye slides down to sit next to him on the floor. "I haven't said this today, but you rule all."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Yeh, I kind of do," he laughed, reaching out to pull her into a hug. "So do you."

[fates_jaye]

"And I swear I'm not usually whiny and emo," she promises. "See? I'm better already."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Everyone gets to be human once in awhile, and you were never whiny and barely emo," he assured her. "And of course you're better! How could anyone be anything but thrilled when they have their very own portable Jack?"

[fates_jaye]

"I know!" Jaye smiles. "Instant mood-helper. I'd say you should market yourself, but I'm feeling selfish."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Be as selfish as you like, because it's a one-time only thing, just for you. I think Sam and Cedric might be less than pleased if I put myself on the open market." Leaning back on his hands, Jack looked at her expectantly. "Now that you have me, what are you going to do with me?"

[fates_jaye]

A couple months ago, that would have been an easy question. Now Jaye thinks and says, "See, now all I can come up with is making you give me a piggy back ride or paint my nails or something. I've gotten uncreative, Jack. Emo robbed my of my brain."
