Where: Jess's Apartment
When: During the future!kid crisis
What: Becoming girlfriends
Rating: Low
Jess had been so busy lately with the future!kids showing up that she didn't even make it to her bed when she got home, instead collapsing on the couch on her stomach and falling (thankfully) into a dreamless sleep. She had one boot off, with the other still on her foot dangling over the edge of the couch. She hadn't even touched the bottle of whiskey that sat on the floor beside her. In fact, did she close the front door when she came in?
Noooo, she had certainly NOT closed the front door. Because when Serena came over, on a whim, just to see how the woman was doing, she walked in immediately (because really, a door left wide open? Typically trouble!) only to snort in laughter when she saw Jessica sprawled out on the sofa. Wearing a pair of bicycle shorts and a tanktop (she'd been out jogging), she crossed her arms and cleared her throat to hopefully get the other woman's attention. "Jesus, what the hell did I miss? You look like I look after one of our marathon sessions..."
Jessica let out a few unintelligible sounds and fell silent for such a long amount of time that one might have thought she'd fallen back asleep. "Clients. Many, man clients," she grumbled. She didn't make an effort to move, apart from one hand which was making grabbing motions at Serena. "What... brings you?"
"Oh, for the love of..." Serena grumbled with a smirk, crouching down to slowly place her arms around Jessica, helping her to a sitting position. "C'mon. I'm gonna carry you to bed. At least there you'll sleep comfortably..." She wasn't a strong woman, but luckily Jessica, while leggy as hell, was a light, surprisingly delicate figure for one with so much power. Serena scooped her into her arms, carefully heading for the bedroom. "Knowing you, you'll find this embarrassing. But you'll thank me when you don't wake up sore as hell."
"Mmkay," Jessica rumbled, still teetering on the edge of wakefulness and sleep. She hooked her arms loosely around Serena's neck and nuzzled into her. "You smell amazing, by the way."
"What can I say... I'm one of the rare ones who sweats and ends up smelling more like my deodorant than anything." She carefully laid the woman down on the bed, humming to herself as she went about beginning to undress her. It was kind of cute, how quickly she went into 'take care of my girl' mode...
Jess didn't protest. Once she was down to her underwear and tanktop she slid under the covers, but before she fell asleep again she lightly gripped Serena's wrist. "Stay."
Serena felt an eyebrow go up involuntarily there, from surprise. Jess never got all cuddly and possessive like this. Hoping to every god she knew of that maybe this was a sign of things to come, she quickly nodded, sitting down on the bed beside her. "Like I could ever say no to that..."
While she might be mortified or even distant in the morning, it was in moments like this when Jessica let her guard down that you could see the extent of care that she had for Serena. She curled to one side and lightly hooked an arm around Serena's waist. "Why do you put up with me?" She mumbled.
"You want the honest, might-scare-you-away answer? Or the safe, not-entirely-true answer?" Serena asked, cheeks flushing a little at the touch. She'd never admit it, but she liked when Jessica got handsy and a little dominant with her.
Jessica's eyelids fluttered open and she thought for a moment. "Lie to me," she said first, as always wanting to protect herself from the truth. She huffed and clung a little tighter. Maybe it was okay to be vulnerable. "...Tell me the truth."
With a deep breath, Serena closed her eyes and just let it spill out of her, consequences be damned. "Because as much as I tried to just be friends-with-benefits, I'm falling in love with you, and have been for a while now. So... if you wanna throw me out or whatever... I completely understand."
"I'm not going to throw you out," Jess murmured, keeping her tone soft in this private moment. Her eyes gazed over Serena's face, as if looking for any hint of deceit in her expression. Seeing none, she tugged Serena down lower on the bed so they were face to face. "I'm... not ready to be that honest with you." Which was her way of saying that she was falling for Serena too. "But... if you want the Jessica Jones Girlfriend Experience, I think that I'm ready for that."
"I would absolutely love the Jessica Jones Girlfriend Experience. You dork." Serena laughed, trying to hide the tears in her eyes. She was just too happy to hold it all in. "I honestly never thought I would want a relationship again. Not after..... you know." She said, nuzzling her nose against Jessica's. "But god, every single part of me wants you."
Jessica nodded once in understanding. She didn't think that she'd ever be ready for a relationship, especially after what Kilgrave did to her. Still. If Trish could see her now. She gently pressed her lips against Serena's and said softly: "I know what you mean."
"Just so you know..." Serena began, even though she suspected Jessica had realized this a while ago, "I'm yours. And I've... honestly been yours since the first time we met."
"I had a feeling," Jessica replied. A lot of things with them had been more about actions than words, but now it appeared that it was time for honesty. Long overdue. It might have taken her a little longer to get there, but: "I'm yours too."
"Mmm. I like how that sounds." Serena said, choosing to, for once, not tease the other woman. She knew Jessica struggled with showing any real emotions, so she wasn't about to mock such a sincere attempt. "I kinda think you're the most amazing person I've ever met."
It wasn't so much a struggle as it was that Jessica had trained herself to be unhappy, trained herself not to get emotionally involved. It was easier, safer, to keep people at a distance, she'd told herself. Serena was the first person she'd met in a long time who made her feel up to daring to be happy. She was still scared shitless, anxious that this would fall apart, but.. she wanted this. More than anything. "Oh, I'm amazing," Jessica said dryly, unable to hide her mirth. She lightly butt her head against Serena's. She accepted the reality of what Serena said. "Thank you."
"You're pretty great too." Jessica smiled wryly.
"Mmm. I really am, aren't I?" She replied, happy little grin beaming brightly. "I just have a good feeling about this. About US. I really think we could be in this one for the long-haul."
Jessica nodded agreeably, rubbing a hand across Serena's hip. "Maybe it's time I introduced you to someone too. He's... I know he's not my brother. I know that. But he's still very important to me."
"I'd be honored to meet anyone who's important to you." Serena said, not having to think twice. "It just still shocks me to think that when I'm with you.... I feel happy. And I really, truly thought I would never feel happy again."
It was amazing how much they were on the same wavelength. Jess liked the thought that she was able to help Serena find her happiness again. She gave her a possessive squeeze. "I'm just as shocked as you are," she promised. "I feel a little less broken."
"Maybe I'm the glue that's putting you back together." Serena said, before giving a 'so-innocent-it's-clearly-bullshit' grin. "I mean, I tend to get pretty sticky around you anyway, so.... why not?"
Jessica couldn't help it. She broke out into a huge grin and laughed. "You were goddamn quick with that one." Actually, she was pretty impressed.
"You forget, I used to be in the Army." Serena said with an adorably arrogant smirk. "You'd faint if you knew even half the horrible shit that's come out of my mouth."
"You'll have to tell me more later," Jessica said with an amused smirk and a little quirk of an eyebrow before leaning in to give Serena a kiss. Right now she had other things in mind for that mouth of hers.
