[attr="class","postbody"] it's not what he expects, but these aren't things that jayden ever plans.

[break][break] between his duties at rocket, his responsibilities to his inheritance, and everything else is going on in the world, these days feel tireless. they are endless, with one bleeding right into the other. he knows that there are things that he should be doing that probably would be better worth his time, that he should be doing.

[break][break] and yet, he finds himself in front of a door, one injured wrist held limply in his hand.

[break][break] and when it opens, his smile is wry.

[break][break] "do you have any honey?"

cecilia is stretched out in front of his little furnace, lazy like an overgrown cat in the sun. way, way overgrown. fern doesn't mind this, of course. his feet are propped on her smooth back like a scaly foot rest as he too soaks up the heat cast off the embers within. anything to chase out the chill that's crept into the fall air.[break][break]

he doesn't exactly want to admit that the upcoming plans for the meteor's impact filling him with a sense of uneasy foreboding. he didn't like to admit there was anything wrong at all. and he certainly didn't want to admit that a part of him felt scared. Fern Delaney didn't get scared.[break][break]

but he didn't have the fortune of high rank to busy his mind with preparation tasks. in fact, he didn't have much to do at all apart from personally making sure his ducks were in a row. so he drowning out the creep of his apprehension with other things. for once, his home was neat. but he was running out of programs to binge to fill up his background with constant noise.[break][break]

a knock at his door was the last thing he expected. turning down the television volume, he stood and made his way over. , holding onto his recovering wrist was even less expected. but there was something about the sight of him that flooded fern with relief. and maybe a pleased sort of emotion too - because he'd chosen to come here.[break][break]

"you want honey, huh?" he asked, eyes narrowing playfully as his head tilted. "better than the grocery store, i gather. nothing at all to do with the massive space rock hurtling toward us?" still, he steps aside allowing jayden access to the warmth inside, shooing off the evening cold.

[attr="class","postbody"] of course, would be able to read through him. not that jayden had done much to hide his intentions.

[break][break] but still, he didn't quite want to give them the satisfaction of knowing it. not yet, anyway.

[break][break] "your house is closer than the grocery store," he pointed out. "besides, why go all the way there when i could just meet you here?"

[break][break] jayden steps into the space, looking around briefly. no matter how many times he finds himself here, he can't get over the stark contrast the house is compared to his own. yet, there is a warmth that is undeniable here — something that makes him wishing and wanting for the comfort of his old galarian home.

[break][break] "perhaps. that too."

[break][break] the admin looks over at him, expression unreadable.

[break][break] "are you worried about it?"

Naturally he gives them the logical response. Proximity and ease of visit, and so on. They don’t call out the fact that they only partially buy that answer, content to play along instead.[break][break]

“Right, right. That does make so much more sense, silly of me to not think of that.” A quiet chuckle follows.[break][break]

As Jayden steps in and Fern closes the door behind him, Ceci lifts her head from her makeshift bed in curiosity, blinks hazily, and then promptly lets her head drop again. “Oh? Felt a visit was in order before we implode?”[break][break]

The joke rings a bit hollow in the wake of Jayden’s follow up question. It feels like he’s seen straight through Fern just as keenly.[break][break]

Their hands twist together, and before he can smooth his expression over into something relaxed and nonchalant, his brows knit together and he looks down at the knot his fingers have made.[break][break]

A shaky breath of laughter before his gaze lifts to return to Jayden’s. “Who wouldn’t be?” Everything surrounding it is a bad gut feeling.[break][break]

“Honey.”[break][break]

Fern announces it abrupt, and swivels on fuzzy-socked feet to march back to their kitchen. Their hands lift to pat their cheeks to snap them out of the sullen mood. “Is it still healing well? Your wrist?”

[attr="class","postbody"] in a situation like this, most people would fall to jokes or humor to ease the blow of the disaster that is to befall them. but jayden, who had grown up in such terror for the majority of his life, felt almost accustomed to it.

[break][break] it was awful to think about.

[break][break] so he didn't.

[break][break] but because it is fern, it begs the question that must be asked. he cares, because it's fern, because he wants to know what the other will think.

[break][break] and the other does not disappoint.

[break][break] jayden reaches forward, as if pulled by an invisible string, and tucks a strand of hair behind their ear. "i'm not," he says. "i have faith. in you. in us. in rocket. don't you think — "

[break][break] the word honey however startles him. this time, a flustered blush dots across his cheeks and he drops his hand, as if just realizing how close he had been. he clears his throat.

[break][break] "it is," he says, looking down at his wrist. "it's almost completely healed. your trick worked rather well, i'd say."

[break][break] his smile is wry.

[break][break] "though, i've almost completely run out of honey now."

The contact offered is small, miniscule compared to other gestures. But the slide of fingers along the flyaway strands of his hair and tickling at the shell of his ear makes the breath flutter in Fern’s throat. Snagging there as he watches Jayden with wide eyes.[break][break]

Usually, he has the right quip to offer. The proper response to keep things cheeky and lighthearted. And he doesn’t ever feel shy in teasing him. But just then, his brain short circuits and he loses all proper response.[break][break]

Over something so little, it feels silly.[break][break]

But because it’s him, it doesn’t feel little at all. “Your confidence is admirable then.” The response isn’t even a tease, they mean it genuinely. Even feel a bit inspired by the sentiment. “Don’t I think, what?”[break][break]

It’s a question asked as Fern casts a glance back over one shoulder. They feel a bit sheepish for accidentally cutting him off with the declaration, flustered enough themselves to miss the flush of color across his face and the initial misconstruing of the word.[break][break]

“What can I say? I know my stuff.” They rummage through their tea cabinet for the proper jar as they talk. “I’m glad though. And you can come steal my honey anytime.”[break][break]

Another halfhearted attempt at a joke. Their cheekiness hasn’t fully returned just yet, but as they return to him, rolling the jar between their palms, they offer him a small smile at least.[break][break]

“Do you want to stay? I don’t…care for being alone right now.” They ask because they feel they can trust him with the transparency they’ve already offered.

[attr="class","postbody"] jayden isn't a touchy-feely person. it doesn't take a genius to notice, and even would be able to remember the exact moments in which the admin had made that fact abundantly clear.

[break][break] yet there was just something about the way that the other's face twisted — in something that was real and raw and true — that made jayden want to do something for him. made jayden want to touch him, even in the smallest of ways.

[break][break] as steps across the room to the tea cabinet, jayden's gaze instead falls to his dragapult. he blinks softly in affection, as it reminds him of his own. slipping off his shoes, he crosses the plush carpet and - should he be allowed - scratches the pokemon behind the ear as the conversation carries on.

[break][break] "thank you."

[break][break] hands outstretched, he accepts the jar that was offered to him with a good hand. however, rather than tucking it under his arm and leaving, he decides to place it on a nearby table.

[break][break] "sure," he says, and that same affectionate gaze that was directed towards the dragapult is now directed to fern.

[break][break] "i was going to say — don't you think i would let you know if there was something to worry about?"

[break][break] "you trust me, don't you?"

They know that touch is a sparing thing when it comes to him. It’s why they’re careful in doling it out as much as they’d like to behave otherwise. They are, after all, a bit opposite in that regard. Or in many ways, but Fern enjoys that about him.[break][break]

“Of course. It’s no trouble.” The attention given to their dragapult is a nice sight to see, though Ceci never really lacks for attention. Though she makes her approval of the scritches clear—eyes closing and tail swishing.[break][break]

Fern is doting with the select people he chooses to care about and commit his loyalty to. With apparent ease, has fallen into that category, so it’s not a triviality when he says this.[break][break]

Their smile widens slightly when he agrees and sets the honey down—silently confirming that it didn’t actually seem to be a pressing need. “I appreciate it, really,” they murmur, and for once, their own face flushed with color at the look he gives them.[break][break]

The softness there is enough to make them melt a little.[break][break]

“Yeah. Yes, I trust you. You’re right.”

[attr="class","postbody"] there is nothing that jayden believes in more than the autocracy of rocket. if is their leader and has plans for the meteor, then there is reason for it. he knows not to question the orders given to him, not for anything, even his own life.

[break][break] and yet, looking into those azure eyes, he can't help but be reminded of the words sent to rocket's upper brass not all that long ago.

[break][break] jayden reaches forward, brushing the other's cheek with a thumb.

[break][break] "but i guess you're right. i wanted to see your face before we left."

[break][break] he smiles.

[break][break] "just in case."

If Jayden is confident in what’s to come, that should be enough. Fern doesn’t have as solid of a leg to stand on in all of this. This is as much a new experience for him as much as the rest of his time within Rocket has been. But Jayden is solid and tangible and real, and believes in the purpose of the cause. It grounds them, pulls them down from the spiral of their unaddressed and ignored worries.[break][break]

Unconsciously, their head tilts into the contact as their eyes flutter shut. “I’m happy it’s mine you wanted to see.”[break][break]

Fern exhales a shaky breath as they open their eyes once again. “Just in case,” they echo quietly.[break][break]

Carefully, they step closer and hold that violet gaze, soothed by the smile on his face. Then they tilt forward just enough to chance hugging him, arms slipping around his torso if he doesn’t withdraw, and a cheek pressing against his chest.[break][break]

Listening to the steady heartbeat there.[break][break]

“I wish we were going to the same place. It feels a bit pitiful to say aloud, but it’s said all the same.

[attr="class","postbody"] sentimentality has never been something that jayden has thought about, not when the likes of dmitri and rocket have all but clawed it out of him. perhaps there was a younger version of himself that would have been more romantic and soft-hearted, would have been able to express the emotions swirling inside of him better than the current version of himself could.

[break][break] truly, the reason that he had found himself on the footsteps of had less to do with what he could express, and everything to do with what he could not.

[break][break] at least not with words.

[break][break] but for some reason, had been able to understand him anyway. there is something like relief that bursts in his chest at the sudden contact, allowing the other to envelop him in an embrace, as his own hand slides up to rest on the other's back.

[break][break] a lone cheek presses against the top of the other's head.

[break][break] "why's that?" he intones softly.

A small smile is hidden away where their face is pressed against his shirt. The knot that has been steadily twisting in their gut–that instinctive bad, foreboding feeling, eases away under the contact when arms curl around them. Their fingers ball up in the back of his shirt.[break][break]

The quiet question draws a slow, soft sigh from Fern and they pull back. Not enough to untangle from him– there is no doing so now that he’s been granted it, but just enough to look up at Jayden and free one hand to slip up and cradle the side of his face.[break][break]

For a moment, they don’t say anything. All they do is watch him and chew at their bottom lip as they try to sort out how they want to answer, eyes soft with affection. They’ve just said they trust in what they’re setting out to do. That they trust him. So Fern doesn’t speak the first sentiment that rises to the surface. “I only just found you. I don’t want to lose you this quickly.”[break][break]

Funny though, how easily the instinct to be honest rises up in them when they’re with him. It’s rare, given that Fern prefers to embellish most everything about them as a means of keeping most people at a distance. Such a thing feels intolerable when it’s Jayden. They don’t mind if he’s serious or that sentimentality can be stilted. They’ve likely got enough sense of romance for the both of them combined.[break][break]

He is a grounding force, steady and sure. A signal that draws them in. “I always feel better..when I’m by your side.” This is also not a lie.

[attr="class","postbody"] for all the steadiness that jayden claims the possess, would be able to tell from the unsteady rhythm of his heartbeat that not all was as it seemed. his concern and care for the other was one thing, but jayden had been shown to have loyalty for many members of rocket, none of which had an ounce of the affection that he had for the person in his arms at that very moment right now.

[break][break] there were only a few people who were able to make him blush in the way that was able to, no matter how faint.

[break][break] a hand goes up to cup his cheek, and though minute, his expression softens at the touch. just a tad.

[break][break] "how can i make you feel better?" he says instead, pressing his forehead against the other. "i mean, right now. is there something i can do to help?"

The uneven canter of his heart matched their own, only further soothing the worry that was dissipating quicker and quicker like a morning fog cut through by the pale sunlight. They would’ve never conjured this up, in all honesty. That they could manage to find this sort of solace in another person. And yet, that is exactly what’s happening.[break][break]

Fern leans back into the press of his forehead, and their smile widens a little. Their thumb smooths across the slight hollow under his eye. Back and forth, slowly.[break][break]

“I think I just need to be distracted, that’s all.” They sway lightly in his hold, side to side. “Think you can manage that?” Just barely there, is that telltale coy lilt to their voice, finally creeping back in. Then they step backward, one step at a time, guiding him along until they can drop onto the couch behind them.[break][break]

The goal is just to tug Jayden along with them to sit if they can manage, but the movement is maybe a bit clumsier than they initially predict.

[attr="class","postbody"] the thumb against his lower eyelid stirs something within his heart, leaving a trail where the other touches.

[break][break] he finds himself lost in the sea of their gaze, teal that washes out into waves of aquamarine.

[break][break] "distracted?" he repeats, slowly, a little breathless.

[break][break] but fern has a hold on him, something that he has never been able to explain. it pulls them along and jayden is hopeless to follow, stepping across the carpet and watching as the other seats himself on a nearby couch.

[break][break] jayden seats himself onto the couch right next to them, and if so allowed, his hands would drop to their hips in attempt to seat themselves into his lap.

[break][break] the admin tilts his head up, looking up at the other.

[break][break] "depends," he says with a smile, brushing his fingers along their hip in slow circles. "what did you have in mind?"
