( ooc: for the dom/sub closeness event shenanigans because it's too cute not to play around with. )
( the sun has set for sometime now when she notes jack out of the corner of her eye shifting closer toward her. kara doesn't mind though and continues writing down her latest recipes in a small notebook. it isn't until they are suddenly shoulder to shoulder that she pauses, looking over to the man with a smile and a chuckle.
although the events that took place in the caves are still fresh in her mind there has been no change in her feelings toward him. if anything there is a noted fondness in her features as she leans over, bumping his shoulder. )
[After the caves, Jack has been feeling even quieter and more withdrawn than usual. He's torn between trying to figure out what exactly happened and trying to forget the whole thing. He's kept his distance from Kara, just a little, feeling like he's too dangerous to be around anybody, much less anyone he cares about. He should be kept isolated, away from anybody.
But he stays with Kara anyway. Maybe he'll... get over it. Maybe it'll all just go away.
And then as night falls, he feels like he just. Needs to get closer to her. It's not even something he thinks about consciously, it just... happens. But as he edges closer to her, hoping not to disturb her as she's writing, he realizes he doesn't just need it, he wants it too. So he tries to be subtle, even if it doesn't quite work, and when he's finally right next to her and she asks her question, he shrugs a little.]
( she watches as he shrugs and it earns him another smile. she sets her pen down, leaning in with a curious look as if she can trying to read something written across his face but ultimately just tilts her head curiously. kara likes to think that's she understands jack better now and that they share a connection that goes beyond their contract but sometimes, like now, she feels stunted in her understanding of humans and their emotions. )
Okay. ( she says in a small voice, half-whispered. carefully, she sets her pen down and raises a hand to cup his cheek in a fond gesture and grin brilliantly at him. )
I like it when you're near me so, yes, of course. I'd like it if you stayed close.
[He closes his eyes when she touches his face. It's almost overwhelming to be the focus of such a smile and such affection, and his chest aches with feelings he still doesn't completely understand. So he just nods a little, hesitant and shy.]
Okay.
[He opens his eyes again and smiles, just a little, in return.]
( her smile remains and although she drops her hand from his face, she shifts and moves onto her knees. gently, she moves until she can kiss his forehead before trailing a kiss to his nose and then placing one last gentle one against his lips. maybe it's just her or maybe they both need this but she smiles once more, shaking her head. )
You don't have to thank me. You help me a lot too.

No... not really.
no subject
Is it anything I can help with?
no subject
I think it's okay now.
[He should probably explain more, huh. He's quiet a moment as he figures out how to express it.]
I just... kind of. Had to be close. I guess. If that's okay.
no subject
I like it when you're near me so, yes, of course. I'd like it if you stayed close.
no subject
Okay.
[He opens his eyes again and smiles, just a little, in return.]
Thank you.

no subject

[How could he help anyone except by killing?]

you're kara's sub right?
i'm not just uh talking to some random guy or anything?
un: jack
no subject
did she ask you if you were up for moving yet?
no subject
no subject
i guess it's kinda complicated
but mostly we ended up in a contract too
and i've got two subs
so we thought it'd be better to just get a huge place for everybody
i mean if you're cool with that
no subject
Wait, are you a Dom? How are you in a contract with Kara? I thought that wasn't allowed.
no subject
you'll have your own space and stuff
and she'll definitely be there
um that's why i said it was complicated
remember that really sandy place?
it sort of happened there
no subject
Okay... but it's okay? You're not going to get in trouble?
