Endless Nights [Jin]

[Jin Caron]

As Kyla hugged him, Jin felt his head rush with blood, his face turning red. For as long as he could remember, Jin had never hugged a single person since he was a young. As Kyla moved back into her seat and explained her problem with the plan to travel, Jin was slightly relieved that Kyla was just as restricted as him and though there were many good, legal reasons why Kara would not allow her to go travel a bit, there were many illegal and criminal reasons, which piqued his interests, but he knew better than to ask something so personal and most likely secret. "Well then, I suppose we can just stay inside the ship and relax." Though Jin would have been fine with trying to sneak out of the ship, he also knew that he could not stay on Ariel and if he had been caught sneaking Kyla off the ship even for a few minutes, the best case scenario would have been that Kara would have Jin get off the Rayya on Ariel, something neither he wanted, nor Kyla from her reaction to his staying on the Rayya longer.

Sitting back into his own seat and regaining his posture, Jin thought of what he could do to show Kyla the sights. At that moment, a great idea popped into his mind and he grinned, facing Kyla. "There is in fact a way to show you the sights per se while also staying inside the ship! But it'll be a surprise." Jin knew that it would be twisting Kara's words ever so much, but they would still be staying in the ship if they took one of the shuttles attached to the Rayya to view the attractions from a distance. With enough disguising, Jin could easily pass off as a curious tourist in the air from cameras. This plan sounded so perfect, just so long as Kara didn't find out that they were flying around.

[[Soo sooo much trouble hah XD I heart it <3 You're such a bad influence on me! Poor innocent baby sister]]


Kyla was a little surprised that Jin didn't ask about why Kara had restricted her to the ship on Ariel. Perhaps his offer of sight seeing was only out of courtesy or kindness, but he didn't really want to go. Though he could just be afraid of getting shot by her sister. Either way it was clear neither of them were going exploring on the planet, at least that's how it seemed.

Before she could respond to his statement about staying and relaxing on the ship she noticed his grin. Ky's excitement returned along with her wide smile. What could have come to his mind? An idea that sounded like they could avoid her sister's wrath, perhaps. "A sup rise? It's so long away though, 'ow am I supposed to be that patient?" Her curiosity rose even higher, there was much now that she wanted to know. The surprise Jin had in mind was at the top of that list.

Ky had the urge to hug him again, but restrained herself. Instead she filled both of their glasses up. Once done, the bottle was placed back on the counter and she raised her glass in Jin's direction with a smile. " One last drink an' I think I'll give it anotha shot at some rest.." She bit her lip slightly and nervously as a small debate went on inside her mind. How to end the night?

[Jin Caron]

Jin nodded at Kyla as he touched his shot glass with hers and downed his drink. As he put down the shot glass, he could see Kyla's nervousness as clear as day. He knew that she wasn't sure how to end their time together and Jin wasn't sure as well. In fact, his mind was swimming every which direction as he tried to think up the most appropriate way of leaving her that night. He could hug her and said good night, but he wasn't sure how comfortable she was with him just yet, since he saw clearly that she was embarrassed to hug him. He could just shake her hand or wave and walk away, but that seemed too formal and informal, respectively.

As his mind continued to strategize on the most effective and non-awkward way to end the night, Jin realized that he put too much thought into everything. Since the moment he had joined the Alliance navy, Jin had always been a careful thinker, putting heavy thought into ever decision, looking at every possible decision and their likely results. Never once in his adult life had he just jumped in head first. He decided that would end that night. He wasn't sure if it was the alcohol talking in his head, or is boldness and will to change for the better, but Jin took a step towards Kyla, put his hand on chin, raising it up, and kissed her. After a few seconds of locking lips, Jin took a step back and then turned his head away. He decided from that point on that he would always examine every possible outcome to the dot from that point on. Looking down at Kyla's feet, Jin awaited for Kyla's expected response of slapping him in the face.

[Kyla Monroe]

Kyla was caught off guard to say the least when Jin kissed her. She may have been debating the same action in her mind, but hadn't expected the same from him. She was fairly often an impulsive person, following the whims of her wants and desires. The current situation had been a little different, which was why the thought had been required. If they weren't out in space on a ship Ky wouldn't have thought twice about kissing the man after a nice time together. Here the circumstances were a bit more isolated, she couldn't just hope to never see him again if it didn't go well.

He had saved her the thinking and pondering, taken the first step himself. Though after their lips stopped touching, Jin turned away then his gaze moved downward as if he was waiting for punishment. A thing he would have to continue waiting for so long as it was up to the woman. She felt no anger or anything negative to that fact, he had just surprised her.

After a moment she pulled herself together. Kyla touched his cheek with her hand softly, begging for his look. There was a slight concern in her eyes, worry that he was now wishing he hadn't kissed her. She decided mentally that if he regretted the action that she would simply smile and tell him goodnight. There was no reason to strike him. Once Jin's gaze was no longer on the floor and on her instead, she searched his face for regret. Hoping she would find none so that she could return the kiss.

As Kyla's hands lightly pressed against his face, Jin looked up slowly, hoping that she was not looking to reject his advances. As his eyes met Kyla's he saw that she was longing to see his eyes. As their eyes met again, Jin smiled ever so slightly as he felt embarrassed about his actions. "So..." For the first time ever, Jin didn't know what to say. This was such a new situation that he had thrown himself into that nothing he could says seemed appropriate. Jin simply stood there, looking into Kyla's eyes and tried his best not to turn red.

((I didn't know what else to write, I'm muy tired and it's mainly Kyla's turn to make a move ;P))

[Kyla Monroe]

Kyla was glad that Jin didn't seem to resist when she wanted him to look at her. She noticed how he looked a little nervous himself now. Even when he attempted to speak, the words apparently didn't come to him. A soft smile crossed her lips and she blushed a bit herself.

Looking at him Ky didn't see any obvious look of regret, which also made her glad. "So indeed.." she mumbled softly in response to the lack of words he had as well. Her hand had remained in it's place on Jin's cheek as she looked at him, into his eyes. She lifted herself slightly on her tiptoes and her lips met his once again. Her free hand softly grasped his shoulder, not only to keep her balance better but to enforce to him that this was okay.

[[Wasn't sure how tall jin actually is =p but I hope the post works for ya <3]]

[Jin Caron]

((No problem ))

Jin's heart skipped a beat as Kyla pressed her lip against his. As her hands pressed against his shoulders, Jin felt a wave of calm rush over him, his hands moving to hold her hips. After what seemed like minutes, Jin pulled back slowly from the kiss. Exhaling, he looked into Kyla's green eyes. "I think I'll stop ridding you of sleep tonight." Jin smiled as he took a step back and turned to start heading back to his own room, but he couldn't leave Kyla, he felt that it was too soon. "Look I uh..." Jin didn't know what to say, he wasn't sure what to think of the situation. They were both tipsy for sure, but he was still able to function, yet he didn't know if Kyla had kissed him simply out of loneliness, or actual affection.

There were so many possibilities swimming through his mind, he didn't know what to do. "Look, I'll be honest, I have no idea what to say." Jin chuckled as he turned around, trying to think of what to say next. "I don't know what's going through your head, heck, I have no idea what's going through my own gorram head right now, but I hope this," Jin grabbed Kyla's hands and held them tightly, "I hope this is not just some sleep-ridden, alcohol-induced craziness talking." Jin took a step forward again and kissed Kyla on the lips once more. "Hell, even if it was, I'm glad it happened." Jin joked as he let go of Kyla's hands, taking a more reassured step back. He felt that that was the best closure he could have given to the night, but Jin decided that he would talk it out with Kyla before leaving, at least to understand some of what was going through her head.

[Kyla Monroe]

The kiss created a mixture of emotions that tumbled and twisted through Kyla, most of them good. Despite that she liked to live in the moment her mind always reminded her of the possible future. She couldn't be a completely carefree woman because of that, but she did her best to push those things aside. When Jin pulled backward part of her felt like it was over too soon. She simply smiled at him in return to his comment, to her surprise he then turned to leave the room. Just as she moved to reach for him and ask him to stop, again it seemed like he read her mind.

Kyla let him talk, speak his peace and such. She listened as completely as she could, letting his words sink in. As he ended, the blush returned to her cheeks along with a shy smile; he was glad. That was a good thing. "Well to be honest as well, I hope it ain't the lack of sleep or drinkin' either...Otherwise I guess I'll have to do this more often." She gave a soft laugh at her joke. Though she was fairly sure the alcohol played it's part in the situation, it wasn't the entire cause. Ky genuinely had an interest in Jin, a desire to get to know him better, become closer. "There's quite a bit goin' through my head though, one bein' that I'm glad too. 'nother that I hope it happens again..an' some other things I ain't gonna go into detail.." Her final words trailed off into nothingness, except for a playful wink.

[Jin Caron]

Jin chuckled as Kyla joked about the situation and smiled, glad that they were able to diffuse a possibly awkward situation before it occurred. "Well, don't hurt your head from thinking too much, we're not in any rush at the moment, are we?" As Jin spoke, he realized in his own mind the fact that he would most likely not be staying on the Rayya forever. What would he tell Kara as an excuse to stay on the ship? Telling her that he had an interest in Kyla would only get Jin killed, and no other outcome seemed to be any better than that.

But that was in the future, and Jin promised that he would think of something when that time came closer. For the time being, he would focus on Kyla and enjoy his time with her. "Well, I should let you go to sleep, we have a fun few weeks ahead of us." Jin grinned as he took a step back to allow himself to actually start to slowly leave. "Good night Kyla." Spinning around, Jin headed towards the door to the passenger rooms, sneaking a glance over his shoulder to catch one last look at Kyla before walking into the hallway. Once he was alone, Jin walked ever so slowly towards his room, grinning like an idiot as he replayed the night in his head.

[Kyla Monroe]

Kyla simply shook her head with a smile at Jin's question. No there was no rush for her, she was simply looking forward to the time they would possibly be spending together now. The fact that they seemed to be on the same page about it was promising.

"Good night Jin." Her voice was soft and happy as she returned his parting words. Ky watched him as he left the room, a smile stuck on her lips. Once he was out of sight she let out a deep breath and got up to put away the bottle of liquor they had shared. Then she quickly washed up the shot glasses and placed them in their proper spots before heading out of the room herself. She went straight to her own room, collapsing onto her bed with a sigh. All the while with Jin on her mind. It was a shame he had said there were only a few weeks ahead of them. They would be enjoyable at least, Ky was sure of that.
