The agreement had a broad, cautiously excited smile speading across Jayne’s face and it made him bold enough to lean forward and steal a sweet, lingering kiss.

Before meeting Xander, he never really gave much thought to being in a relationship, much less inviting his lover to come spend time with him at work. This was new territory for them both, but Jayne couldn’t help want to spend as much time as physically possible with him.

Xander was only too keen to return the kiss, loving the simple affection more than he thought possible. He had never really liked touching anyone or being physically close to people prior to meeting Jayne and he didn’t want to imagine losing this.

He had never expected to actually fall in love.

Rabbit fell into awkward silence, aside from letting out a heavy sigh, an apologetic look in his eyes that mingled with obvious signs of mental and physical exhaustion, telling that he was about at his limit for what he could handle for now.

He did, however, grab one of Vega’s hands for a moment, just long enough to give it a hesitant but firm squeeze before he let go again, further proof of the effort he was putting in despite how much strain it put on his emotional state.

It had gotten easier to read him, to know when to back off and when to push a little and now was definitely the time to  give him space. Even if it was the last thing she really wanted to do, her instincts always saying to hover until he feels better. But she knew that would make it worse. 

The touch was a relief and it made her smile blossom into something completely unguarded. “You should get settled. Rest a bit,” she offered, giving him an out so he wouldn’t feel bad or guilty. “I should let my uncle know we got here safe unless you’d rather I say for a bit longer.”

“Like some private retreat sort of shit?”

He supposed he could try to spin it like that like it was some sort of place that offered up methods of relaxation. Not like a spa, but somewhere that might run guided meditation and yoga and other stuff to people like him.

“That works as well.”

It wouldn’t be the first time someone had gone that route. He had even had ones use rehab as a cover story and, in a sense, it had been accurate. It was hard to be an addict and shifter at the same time when drugs made it harder to control shifts.
