WHO: Juniper and Edward
WHAT: Playing doctor
WHEN: Midday, Day Five
WHERE: Juniper's Room/Outside
RATING: PG-13
STATUS: Complete

Juniper was in pain. Physical, mental, emotional...Was there another version? Spiritual? Yeah, she was that too. At least there was so much going through her head that was completely unrelated to what had happened to her that Edward wouldn't get wind of it. Edward. If he found out what had gone on that morning...She didn't want to think about it. He'd be completely uncontrollable. As if she could control him to begin with. But anyway, as it was, all she could think about was how badly her hand hurt, peppered with the occasional flash of irritation at the fact that the object of Edward's desire was in the City now too. Not only did that suck for Juniper, but it was going to suck for the Bella girl as well, because Juniper was definitely not letting her within a hundred meters of Edward. The last thing she wanted to witness was a blood bath, and she didn't want Edward to have to deal with the guilt of that afterward. Not to mention the fact that Jareth would rip him apart...

Anyway, after Edward promised to come over and look at her hand, Juniper tried to get dressed. Tried being the operative word. The attempt at getting the pair of jeans that had been provided on was abandoned, as she couldn't get her fingers to move enough to button them. Thankfully, she found a loose, elastic-wasted peasant skirt in the closet, and so Juniper was able to get that on with one hand, so that was good. A white fitted t-shirt, on the other hand, proved to be too much for her. She couldn't get her injured hand through the arm hole, and so was stuck with her shirt halfway on, cutting across her body in a diagonal line, with one arm and her head in place, but the rest of the fabric stuck on her opposite shoulder. She looked like she'd tried to put on a toga upside down.

Juniper fought with her clothes and then kicked her dresser, which only hurt her toes, again, and then fell face down on her bed and just laid there. She heard Edward's mind approaching and sighed. Fair warning, I'm not completely decent, but I can't change that, so you're just going to have to deal, she warned him, not bothering to get up. Door's unlocked.

She stopped when she heard his voice and looked around, but the trees were hiding him quite effectively. "I did," she argued with thin air. "I didn't hold still," she joked lamely, wiping her eyes so that they'd be clear by the time he got down there. Even though she knew why he'd left, the rejection still stung, meant or not.

When Edward dropped down next to her, Juniper screamed, jumped, and fell over, as she'd been looking in the complete other direction, and he'd scared the crap out of her. Not bothering to pick herself up out of the bracken, she just grabbed a handful of leaves and threw them at him. "Don't scare me like that!" she scolded, letting out a ragged and humorless laugh.

Edward smiled at her apologetically and offered her a hand off the ground. Once he had her up he pulled her into his arms and kissed her soundly. "Don't apologize to me for reacting as any normal person would. I love you and you're beautiful and wonderful and the fact that I can't get enough of you is no one's fault but my own. I'm sorry I scared you again." He pulled her into a hug and pet her hair, glad that he could hold her safely again without feeling the urge to bite.

"I'm stronger than I thought, we'll just have to take this slowly is all. I need to be more prepared for your reactions and focus more on my own. You're very . . . addicting. Once I start touching you it's very difficult for me to stop," he explained with a bit of a sheepish, but very boyish grin.

Juniper squeaked in surprise against his mouth, but managed to return the kiss there toward the end of it, laughing a bit as he cuddled her to his chest. "I think you're just going to have to find some rope, Edward," she chuckled, pressing a kiss to his collarbone, snuggling against him. "Because as much as I want to be able to promise you that I won't attack you again...I'm really not sure that I can," she admitted, coloring up a bit, which, Juniper realised, he could probably feel against his skin.

She laughed softly at his admission, and picked her head up to look at him. "I noticed," she said with a roll of her eyes. "What do you have against bras, eh?" she asked, her shoulders shaking with mirth. "If you can handle it," she prefaced, biting her lip. "Do me a favour and tie this together?" she asked, turning her back to him and lifting up her shirt.

"It was in the way," Edward told her sheepishly, more than a little embarrassed at his actions. He was a little astonished he'd been so out of control that he had not only damaged her clothing but hadn't noticed doing it. It didn't say a whole lot for his merit. Usually he was such a gentleman too.

He nodded and tied the bra back together. "I'd offer to replace it but I don't know where I could get such a thing here." He hoped the closets provided clothing because he'd only had a small suitcase full of things in his car.

"Let's go back. I promised you I'd play for you and that seems like a nice relaxing thing we can do." He smiled at her knowing she'd probably like to stay here longer, but he'd had more than enough to tempt him for the time being. There would be time for more later.

Seeing the embarrassment etched all over his face, Juniper smirked. "It's alright. There's a sewing kit in my room, I can fix it easily enough. That, and I'm pretty sure there was another in my underthings drawer."

Then she hooked her hand around the back of Edward's neck and pulled him down to her, brushing the tip of her nose against his own. "Besides, it was kind of sexy," she admitted huskily, and then let him go.

And just as quick as that, she was bounding off to fetch his shirt for him, passing it over once she was back. "That sounds lovely. One request though...Can we stop and pick up some food? I know you don't eat, but it just occurred to me that I haven't eaten anything since tea yesterday. No wonder my defenses were down..." she added on in a mumble, mostly to herself.

Edward looked somewhat embarrassed at her 'praise', but smiled all the same. He was upset at himself for his lack of control but also and mostly a bit embarrassed by it. Here he was trying to be romantic and he'd practically mauled her. Way to be a gentleman, Edward, he chastised himself but ended up laughing a bit awkwardly. No one was hurt so he supposed it could be taken as funny.

Edward laughed and nodded. "Of course we'll feed you. It's even more important now that you're injured and have lost blood. You need to rebuild your strength and blood supply." He slipped into his shirt and buttoned it up quickly then kissed her on the forehead. "Shall we?"

Juniper, of course, heard that, and poked him in the stomach. "Be nice to yourself," she warned. "It was plenty romantic, and the only thing I'd change would be you runnin' off there at the end," she assured him, reaching up to cup his cheek, running her thumb along his skin. "You love me," she reminded him. "And hearing that, it made the day."

Nodding, Juniper slid her fingers through his, and once they were out of the woods, stopped at one of the stands to get herself something to eat before going up to Edward's room to snack and hear him play the piano. All in all, it was the most perfect day ever, even if it had started out less than wonderfully.
