WHO: Remy & Jenny
WHAT: Remy offered Jenny a piece of his couch.
WHEN: Day 13; 2208.
WHERE: The barn
RATING: PG-13, perhaps?
STATUS: Complete


Gambit certainly hadn't been lying about having a comfortable piece of furniture to stretch out on. With other places now to sleep, the red-head had been more-or-less left alone in the barn, and he'd kicked out the arms on two of those couches, pushed two of them front-to-front (the ones without arms), then had pushed a third one to the head of those two butted-up couches, to make a strange rectangle of sorts, which had three sides, and one place to crawl into the middle. He'd put the third couch there, of course, so his feet wouldn't hang off the end. That just wouldn't do at all. He'd braced two of the three couches against the walls of the barn (he'd pushed it into a corner, of course), and the third couch had another couch (the last one) pushed up against the back of it, so it wouldn't slide out and leave him on the floor in the middle of the night.

So it was no wonder that the Cajun had refused to leave his little sanctuary for the day. He'd just been happily lazing around on the couch, wishing for something other than sugar to eat. He'd talked to Dean just moments earlier, and was quite content knowing that he'd be eating real food sometime tomorrow. This morning, at least, the young man had gone further into town and had snatched himself a shower. Cold though it was-- he'd washed his jeans and socks while he was in the shower, but his trench coat had been ruined, along with his tank-top, so on the way back to the barn he'd made a quick detour into the Thrift store and had grabbed a few things. Like the button-up blue shirt he was wearing at present. There was a white undershirt beneath it, and he had it unbuttoned half way, with the sleeves rolled up to just over his elbows, exposing the gloves he wore religiously. They weren't long, stopping just before his wrist bone, at the end of his palm.

He was shoeless, but fresh socks (also from the thrift store) were happily on his feet. Having a shower and fresh clothes had done wonders for the Cajun. The replica Doctors Coat was hanging over the arm of the head couch, for his later use. Because yeah, it was his now. His. Back off, Doctor.

In fact, he'd been laying on his back there, a pillow tucked under his head (also thanks to the thrift store.. he'd found a pillow case, but no pillows.. so he'd torn open some stuffed animals and stuffed the case full, then tied it off - he hadn't made two, unfortunately.), but when he heard footsteps, he was sitting up and turning his eyes towards the entrance of the dimly lit barn. All he had for light was the moonlight coming in through the windows. It was enough for him, really.. he had pretty good eyes, in the dark.

"'Dat you, Chere?" Prompted into the darkness around him.

She knew his past. She knew more about him than she should know rightfully. It all served to keep her guarded or allow her to be open with him at the right moments. Perhaps that was cheating but she didn't care. It let her have a few moments of solace with someone who was pleasant. And with her newly recovered confidence, thanks to finding L, she wasn't worried about the outcome of anything they might possibly say or do tonight.

"You just lounged around all day?" she asked, somewhat incredulously. "And here I thought you were the heroic type, gallavanting off into the sunset after damsels in distress!" Whoa, Jenny, she thought. That small voice tugged at her again, telling her to play it closer to the vest again.

"Me?" she asked even though there was no way he could have meant someone else. "I'm just wondering how many of these twinkies it would take to sweeten up someone like the Doctor. You know, so he didn't hate me anymore." Her tone was light but the subject definitely wasn't. She'd lost an important friendship with the Doctor. Remy might be forgiving but the Doctor wasn't coming back. She knew that now so she was going to joke about it a little. How else did one make peace with something she couldn't change?

"What are you thinking about?"

"Me? 'De knigh' in armor type? Non, chere. Ain' you rea' my file? I ain' ou' f'no one bu' Remy." He scrunched his nose some at the idea of being a hero. He was not a hero. Not by any means. If she wanted a hero, she'd need to go find Captain Hardness. He was a hero.

"Oui, lounge 'roun', ea' twinkies. Don' normally do 'de damsel t'in'. Ain' my style." He had a style? Oh yes. Of course he did!

"An' I don' t'ink 'de twinkies gon' work on 'de Doct'r. You gon' need some big damn pixie stick for him. Pu' it on uh car'mel apple, roll 'dem in chocola'e, 'den add some ice cream, wit' a side o' gummie bears, 'den maybe you ge 'de Doct'r. But he ain' 'de angry type, from wha' I see, non? Jus' get hur' easy. Really nice guy." That was said after a moment, before he nodded as if agreeing with himself. Yes, the Doctor was very nice. Much nicer than Gambit, anyway.

"T'inkin' 'bou'? Wha' make you t'ink I'm t'inkin' at all? Jus' enjoyin' 'de view." The Cajun was a good liar. He had to be. He was also very good at skirting around questions about himself. Such as that one. But he usually gave in if pestered enough. Why? Simply because it was easier than skirting around the issue.

Lazy bastard.

That's right. He was no hero. Jenny had either forgotten or chosen not to believe it. Well she wasn't going to rely on that right now anyway. That's what she told herself at least. But the words were out of her mouth and he'd already scoffed at them before she could take them back so that was that. She could laugh it off and she would. "What? No spandex capes and tights for you? And you'd look so dashing in them," she said with a tinge of playful disappointment.

The Doctor couldn't be won with twinkies. She'd known that. It was something she regretted horribly now. She felt the anger toward Remy rise again but she pushed it down once more. It was her fault, ultimately, that the Doctor wanted nothing to do with her anymore. Even if Remy hadn't told him, she probably would have eventually and she'd still have been in this situation.

"Oh really? Caramel apples and gummie bears. Hm," she mused and laughed softly. "And what does it take to work on you?" Oh had she just asked that? How funny. She was flirting for the sake of flirting now. "Not twinkies or gummie bears, surely."

She grinned in the partial moonlight when he asked her why she'd think he was thinking. Logic won out in that argument and she said, "No one thinks nothing, Remy. Especially when they're talking to a pretty girl. So fess up."

Her fingers brushed the back of his hand again and she thought of the moment down in the tunnels before he'd found her out. The moment when she'd run her fingers through his hair in the darkness and it had seemed to pique some new interest in him. It made her sad that there was no more mystery between them now that he knew who she was. Her touch would never spark something like that again.
