Chris asked. Jack smiled, and nodded, walking overto Melissa, and buying her a drink."hey guys, drinks are on me!" he said,and there was much rejoicing.<end snip>ONCE AGAIN, WE ARE NOT GAY... JUST MAKING SURE :pREMEMBER, NOT GAY!!"Woah, whats happened?" said Chris as he raised his eyebrow"whadya mean? i said 'drinks are on me'" Jack replied, confused"I meant with Kanako" Chris said, restarting"ohh, i sorted it out... she's ok now.""After this shall we be heading back, its getting late""yeah, better had, i would go clubbing, but you know i hate that.""heheh" chucled Chris as he looked down at 6 empty pint glasses, "Ah""what? only 6?" Jack said, looking at the table"Meh, lifes been Hectic getting used to these nano's, i doubt ill be able to get throught more than 6 until next week sometime""haha, yeah, they can do that to you.  i'll be back in a tick"  Jack said as he left the table and went to sit next to Melissa at the bar.  "you know, i was thinking, do you wanna make it a bit more official?"She sat there and smiled at him before raising her eyebrow at him."umm... oh god" he said, almost freezing.  "i've never been any good at this, but.. do you.. wanna go... out some time?" he managed, pausing for many breaths."I'd love to" she said, smiling more.Jack instantly relaxed, his mind did a backflip."I dont know why you bothered asking" smiled Melissa, "You knew the answer""I... like to make sure." he said, trying to think about an excuse, even though he didn't need one, its normal to ask someone before going somewhere."Im heading back" said Chris, now looking at an extra four pint glasses littered across the bar."k, c ya.  i'll be back soon." Jack said, before turning back to Melissa"Bye, anybody coming?" Chris asked, looking into the room."Yeah, its about time i was getting back." John said, getting up and joining him on the way out."We'll see you two lovebirds later" said Chris, leaving this comment in the air before disappearing."ok" he said, then paying attention to what he'd said, he turned to the door to say something, but they'd already gone.Jack breathed deeply, then coughed, he could feel his stomach and chest tightening."sorry, i'll be right back" he said, disappearing into the toilet, he leant against the wall, and took what looked like a glasses case from his pocket.  Inside was a syringe, he took it out, and pushed the air from it, before injecting it into his arm.  His pain disappeared instantly.  On the side of the syringe was the writing 'Medical grade Ultra-Morph'.  He put the case back in his pocket, and walked back to the bar.  "sorry." he said again.{a short while after Keats and Chris left, and much drinking}"Shouldn't we be making tracks?""yeah, better had, i'll see you tomorrow." he said, looking at his watch.  "i mean today.""shall we take the long walk back?" he asked"Erm, yeah sure, but i gota find dad first, i know where he'll be, can you show me where the quarters of the girl he's seeing are?" Melissa asked, Jack looked confused."yeah, sure... they're not too far away from yours i think." Jack said, trying to think where they were."i wouldn't be suprised, thats my dad, always picks a girl close to home" she said to herself more than anything , but it came out loud.Jack raised an eyebrow.  "theres not too great a distance any two rooms can be away... all the crew quarters are in the same section..."  Jack said, still thinking."I see" she said. "Anyway, lets go""yeah, its not too long till sunrise."So, after a long walk back to the Dwarf, Jack and Melissa hand in hand, Jack took Melissa to Emma's quarters, where they were both suprised to discover that the couple were having an argument."wow, thats got to be the first time i've heard raised voices from those two..." Jack said, absent mindedly."Not from Dad, you should see him when he's fighting" thought Melissa out loud, and awoke old memories forgotten in Jack."yeah, he's not too bad at fighting." he said, thinking of their encounter with the pirates."how'd you know?" she asked."we fought together once." Jack said,"oh, details?""details? i'm not too good at those... basically, some pirates managed to get onboard, and stole a load of our stuff.  we went to get it back, and ended up fighitng them together, being honest, i don't think i would've survived if he hadn't been there.""If he could hear you he'd be flattered" she said, "what happened?""we were attacked while trying to sabotage their engines, a load of them.  I can take a few in one go, but not that many.""Maybe we should try to get these two to stop arguing" suggested Melissa." yeah, we probably should."Just as that was said, Emma slapped chris, and Jack had to use his security override key to get in.  When he entered, he saw that chris' hand was resting on the hilt of his sword, self protection only of course, And that emma was bright red, just like a tomato."woah, hold it" Jack said, drawing his own sword and holding it in front of Chris.  "you don't want to do that.""I know i dont, i could use a little restraint here Jack" Chris said, his hand twitching around his sword."I'm good at restraint." He said, placing the blunt edge of his sword against Chris' chest."Thank you, i need to calm down" he said pushing jacks sword off him, and walking off."right.  I'll leave you here, if you need any help, just call." Jack said, sheathing his sword, and leaving, closing the door behind him.As Jack and Melissa left, Emma sat down, and laughed softly."that was too easy." she said, and peeled away at the skin on her face.  A mask stripped off, leaving Kanako's face underneath it.  She smiled, and changed into her own clothes, and began to follow Chris.Chris heard footsteps behind him, and phoenix fire enhanced hearing only made him feel worse, "piss off Jack, i need to be alone"But then he realised they were too soft to be Jacks feet, and turned to be confronted by his best friends sister."are you ok?" she asked, taking a couple of steps towards him."What do you want Kanako?" Chris said, a slight hint of anger in his voice."theres no need to be like that." she said  "I could hear you shouting earlier, are you ok?""Not really, do i look it" asked Chris, the blood from a cut on the left hand side of his forehead leaked down his  face.Kanako knew it was there, she had been the one that did it, but she was very good at faking, and rushed to his aid. "what happened?" she asked, opening a medi-box on the wall and removing a cloth."It's nothing, i slipped""it looks like more than that" she said, approaching.  she held the cloth up as if to say 'i'll help you out'Chris reluctantly allowed Kanako to mop him up, before asking again, "What do you want Kanako, if I was you i wouldn't be talking to me, I was really rude earlier, Sorry if that sounded rude but im curious""never mind that, i was a bitch.  and you were drunk.""Fair enough, but still?""still what? you're obviously big brothers friend, is it wrong for me to help you?" she said, smiling evilly as Chris looked away for a second."I think theres something your hiding from me, now tell me the truth, you can trust me, now tell me the truth""is there anywhere near we can go to do this properly?" she asked, ignoring his question."Come, my quarters aren't far""ok." she said, throwing the cloth away, and following him.Chris typed in the code for his door and beckoned Kanako in.She smiled, and entered, removing another first aid box from the wall just outside his door as she passed it.Chris walked over to the desk and stroked his persian, that his step-daughter had kindly placed in here for him.Chris walked over to the desk and stroked his persian, that his step-daughter had kindly placed in here for him."you know, if they found out you had a pet, they'd put it down." She said, stroking the cat as she passed the table, it rubbed against her side, and purred."they wont find out, i have a forcefield the wont let animals through, only humans""wow, nice." She said, looking around, and as he had said, cat that floated around her hadn't entered.  She let it go, and began to clean up Chris' wound properly."Listen im sorry about earlier, i'm just really confused as to why you're helping me""as i said, do i need an excuse to help a friend?" She said, soaking the cloth and mopping the blood out of Chris' eye."A friend? I wouldn't be suprised if you hated me right now, and I wouldn't blame you either, I said some pretty horrible stuff in that pub""and i could see that you'd been drinking, you didn't mean any of it did you?""No, but i'd be suprised if you didn't take any offence""i've known people say worse than that about me, i've been training as a psychiatrist, imagine what people say about Dr Cerebrum, and add sexism to it."Kanako turned chris' to face her, and pushed his hair out of the way.  "there, i think you're done." she said, and looked straight into Chris' eyes."He's a fruitloop" . "Maybe you should be going, its late, im not sure your brother would be too happy if he found you were in my room at this time?" he said, "Don't feel like im kicking you out" he added, feeling he might offend her.She just sat there for a few seconds, gazing into his eyes."You can stay if you want, its up to you"Chris raised an eyebrow, "Kanako, are you alright?""i'm fine," she said.  "you have nice eyes.""Thanks" he blushed, "Yours don't look bad either" he admitted.She smiled and stayed there for a couple of seconds, then stood up.  "I better had be going.  Sleep well." she said, softly.  and walked to the door."will you be ok?" she asked."I should be" said Chris dreamily, as he laid his head back on the pillow.She looked at him, lying there peacefully.  and lonely.  She started talking to her cat, floating outside the barrier, with the door open. "should i?" she asked.  the cat just flated there, and meowed.  She smiled, and sat next to him, and brushed her hand through his hair.Chris opened his eyes, "Wha the...?"As he got up, she just put her finger next to his mouth, and shushed him softly, laying him down on the bed again.Chris tried to speak, "What are you doing Kanako!?!?!??!" but she cut him off mid sentence, shushing him again, she smiled softly at him.He raised his eyebrow as she gazed deeply into his eyes."just sleep." she said, and began brushing her hand through his hair again."I'll have a job, why are you doing this Kanako?"She said nothing, but smiled, and began humming a tune."Answer me"She leant down to him, and whispered. "i think i like you."Chris gawped and lay his head back on the pillow, "what if Jack finds o......" but Kanako stopped him mid sentence and again gazed into his eyes.Chris winced. "What about Jack!?!?!""what about him?" she said.  "we talked.  I understand now.""Understand what?""everything.""Helpful, look alright, i like you, but....""but nothing.  Thats all there is to it."Chris stood up and opened the fridge, revealing a large stash of beer, "You want one?""love one." she said.and sighed quietly to herself.Chris handed a beer and a glass to Kanako, "Cheers", he sat there in thought for a moment, "You think Jack would mind, if we went out?""i doubt it very much." she saidBefore Chris had a chance to ask, Kanako spoke. "yes"Chris smiled at her, "You wanna stay here, I have a spare room" said Chris as he gestured towards another door in his room."sure." she said, finishing her beer."meh, ill leave you to it" he said, lying down on the bed once more.She stood up, and walked to a personal dispenser in the wall.  She pressed a few buttons and some of her clothes were transported to her.  "night." she said, and walked into the spare room.Chris lay there and thought to himself and subvocalised to Jack, "Holy Smeg..." before falling into an *uneasy* sleep.OOC: REMEMBER, NOT GAY!
