Labor Day - JSA
The weather was absolutely perfect for holding a cookout.

Tables had been placed on the roof of headquarters and the large grill fired up to get nice and hot. Burgers, hot dogs, sausage, ribs, corn on the cob, pasta salad, salad and fruit salad were just some of the food available to eat. Soda, water, fruit juice and other beverages were on ice.

The JSA worked as a team to prepare the food. When they were ready, they carried it all outside and started their celebration.

It was a day of rest and relaxations for those who put their lives on the line for others.

"Oh, that's cool." Rex says, gathering up his courage. This was likely to get him laughed right out of the door, he'd had a lot of time to think over the last couple of months, especially after being beaten within an inch of his life.

"Hope, I have a confession to make." he says, wishing they were fighting or something right now. He could do this if they were fighting parademons or something.

	Hope took a sip of her beer. "Yes, Rex?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Rex steels himself and starts speaking, because he may not do this after all if he doesn't do it now.

"I can't be your friend anymore. Wait, no. I mean that I can't be just your friend anymore." Rex says, looking over at her.

"You remember that guy that tried to hit on you last week when we were at the bar? I wanted to ram his face into a table. Not because he was annoying prick, which he was, but because...well, he was looking at you. I've wanted to be more than just your friend for a long time, but I didn't know how to say it, or how to really tell you.

I mean, I can call a Krogan a coward with no balls without even thinking about it, but asking you out on a date makes me think twice." Rex says, a chuckle escape his lips.

"You...you get me, Hope. We spar and we tease each other, but you've been there for me. You listen and you don't let me get away with lying to myself." Rex says.

"That and you got arrested with me when you could have easily said you didn't know me. Your parents must still think I'm crazy.
But I can't stop thinking about you, even when I shouldn't be, and I need to know if you feel anything like that at all, or if I'm crazy.

If I'm just crazy, then tell me now and we don't have to talk about this ever again." he says, bracing himself for her to tell him exactly that.

Hope nearly spit out her beer.

Not that she was disgusted or anything. He just caught her by surprise. Which was very hard for most people to do. Actually, her own family had a hard time surprising Hope.

Rex was her best friend. She could talk to him about anything, and knew that no matter the situation, she could always depend on him.

And well, if anyone ever messed with him, they'd have to deal with one very pissed off New God.

Yes, Rex was her best friend, but there was something about him that made her blood rush and her head spin when she thought if him.

No one had ever been able to do that to her before. Except for now.

Hope didn't say anything. She did, however, grab him by the shirt collar and kiss him fully on the lips.

And if anyone came along and tried to ruin this, she was going to throw them to New Jersey.

	Rex did not expect the kiss, but that made it even better. He'll kiss Hope as long as he wants, not even caring the ribs are getting cold. If his Goddess is happy, then so is he. And if anyone came along to ruin this and it wasn't world altering...he'd probably let her throw them to New Jersey, except for Nic. Nic just wouldn't get anymore bacon. Ever.

	Sometimes Hope did impulsive things. This was one of those times. Eventually, though she lost track of how long, the kiss ended. "Did I answer your question?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Once Rex's brain restarts, he smiles at her. "Um, I'll that that as a yes, but I'd like to ask you again later and see if the answer is still the same. I mean, I don't think we clarified certain things." he smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	smallwonder 2010-09-07 03:14 am UTC (link)
	"The answer will be the same. I promise." Hope gave a small smile. "I don't want to be just your friend anymore, either. I've never been good at voicing these kind of things. I'm not like Avia, I can't speak my feelings freely like she does. Especially things like this. If you hadn't said anything, well, I'd probably just go along, ignoring my feelings."

	"Hey, let's make a deal. Let's agree to always be honest with each other about how we feel, so that we never end up wondering where we stand. Can we do that?" Rex asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hope grinned. "It's a deal." (Reply to this)(Parent)
