Popping outside his apartment door, he shifted Jubie to one arm and unlocked it, pushing through (and being extra-careful not to tag his cargo on the doorframe). Once in and kicking it closed behind him, he moved over to the couch and set her down lightly, taking a light seat on the coffee table and staring her straight in the eyes.

"Now. Let's get this hashed out proper."

"Get what hashed out?" Still mad he brought her here with no explanation.

"You." A finger spears out to rest gently on her nose.

"You are NOT some horrible little yutz people can't be bothered to spend time with. And you need to quit getting down on yourself whenever something don't pan out! Get your ass in gear and quit feeling sorry for yourself, Jubie!"

He's generally preferred the 'cold bucket of water' approach to comfort, anyway.

"Stop feeling sorry for myself! Stop feeling sorry for myself?"

"Draco disappeared when I started getting serious. Robin left me for another girl when I started getting serious. You... fuck after one night you asked me to shoot you!!!" She shoves him. "And now Logan."

"You the fuck do you think you are to say stop feeling sorry for myself?!?"

Well, at least she's showing something besides self-pity. Also, Bishop don't move much at shove. "An' in the Nexus, disappearances don't mean jack shit regarding emotions.. At least, most times. That's two down. Robin I don't know from Nancy, but as for me, well.."

And then he leans in and kisses her, hard and deep, only to come back just a touch too soon. "TRUST me, that wasn't you."

He may have the barest hint of a smile, though.

The kiss surprised her. "...huh?"

Date: 2007-05-31 04:03 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] nobodysbishie.livejournal.com
Amazing what lengths he'll go to in order to snap her out of it, huh?

"Like I said, girl. That wasn't you, that was me bein' a closed-minded jackass too locked into the past."

She looked at him, for a moment or two.

"Listen. I know it was not me on some level. But that level is just hard to reach right now. Ya know?"

Hasn't stopped his smiling, though. He even cupped her cheek gently with one hand. "Yeah, I know. An' I know just how hard it can be to get to that point, but it don't mean that you hafta go through all the mopin' in the meantime!"

He's looking her steadily in the eye, now. "I remember how you handled me back when I was deaged, Jubes. You might've been tempted, but you held true.. an' I've got some real respect for that. Can't dispute a thing my kid-self said, either! There's no way in hell you should be puttin' yourself through this."

"I wasn't going to take advantage of you. Not after how that blew up in my face the first time." Jubilee replied softly.

"I know. I just... am lonely." There. She said it.

"An' that, more than anything, says just how much you've grown, girl." He smiles a little, hand now moving to ruffle her hair.

Also, now she's getting a big ol' one-armed hug! "Yeah, ain't we all. Little bit soon for me to set YOU up on a Nexus dateapalooza though, don't you think?"

Date: 2007-06-01 01:50 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] in-jubilation.livejournal.com
"But still not grown enough, huh?" She straightens her hair back after it gets ruffled.

"I do not know if I want another relationship so soon off the bat. But having someone to hang with, spend time with, just for fun... would be nice."

"Now I didn't say THAT, but I was pretty much under the impression that I'd blown it last time. 'Sides, hittin' up a girl while she's still in a relationship? That's not the Bishop way!" A kind of crooked smile, now. "Thought you woulda known that by now."

She's treated to an eyebrow-raise, expertly pulled off. "Like to think I've been that all along, but got no problems taking up the job now. You know what movies they're showing these days?" Bishop doesn't get much time for hanging out anymore, and hasn't for a good while now.

"Are you asking me out to a movie, Bishop?"

Date: 2007-06-01 04:50 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] nobodysbishie.livejournal.com
Smirk. "If I say no, will you buy your own popcorn?"

Date: 2007-06-01 04:52 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] in-jubilation.livejournal.com
"If you say no, there would be no movie. Silly."

Date: 2007-06-01 04:53 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] nobodysbishie.livejournal.com
"Unless I went ALLLL the way over to the corner 'stop and picked up a paper to see what's current. You wouldn't do somethin' like THAT to me, would ya Jubie?"

Okay, he's having too much fun now.

Date: 2007-06-01 04:56 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] in-jubilation.livejournal.com
"I might. Unless you convince me otherwise."

Date: 2007-06-01 04:58 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] nobodysbishie.livejournal.com
EXAGGGERATED sigh. "Okay, I'll spring for popcorn and candy BOTH. You're just too cruel, you know?"

Date: 2007-06-01 04:59 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] in-jubilation.livejournal.com
"And you know you like it." She gives his face a soft caress. "Thank Lucas. A movie sounds good."

Date: 2007-06-01 05:16 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] nobodysbishie.livejournal.com
"Well, MAYBE.." He grins a little, not removing her hand. "So what's worth watching today?"

Date: 2007-06-01 12:57 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] in-jubilation.livejournal.com
"Was thinking of a comedy, need to laugh."

Date: 2007-06-05 10:03 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] nobodysbishie.livejournal.com
"Sounds about right. You know what's playing?" This is, after all, important information!

Jubilee grins, and digs out a movie section from her book bag, "here. Pick something."
