Jeimu/Sal's Reality (and Jeimu's Consciousness), KSC, Florida, Ludicrous O'Clock in the Morning

[teh-rest.livejournal.com]

Four weeks of nothing but torrential rain had hit Florida.

As such, Endeavour wasn't going anywhere. And Jeimu was stuck. She hadn't planned on her six month sojourn being preceded by a four-week quarantine.

The quarantine was long enough for separation anxiety to seep in.

She missed Newfoundland.

She missed him.

Laying on her back in the too-hard bed, Jeimu closed her eyes and concentrated. She'd promised herself that she wouldn't do this - that she wouldn't reach out to him while she was gone.

She couldn't help it though.

The landscape that her mind created was a woodland vista with a large clearing. The air was warm and the sky was blue. Birds twittered somewhere in the distance.

She was sitting under a tree, looking around at what she'd managed to do. It even impressed her.

A sigh escapes her lips as she looks down at the ground, speaking with a voice that was uncharacteristically quiet and meek sounding.

"I've missed you," she whispers to a presence she feels almost instantaneously.

"What?" She honestly can't feel anything beyond the hammering of her own pulse. "What's going on?

"I kin feel ever'thin' you're feelin'."

"Really." If she lets herself calm down, she realizes, she can feel him too. Although his feelings aren't too dissimilar from his own. "That's, um, unexpected."

He leans forward and kisses her again, feeling his senses reel.

She snickers at his forwardness. "You're enjoying yourself, aren't you?" She returns his kiss and then places a finger on his lips to stop him from doing it again.

"Listen to me," she says, her eyes still swimming. "I need to know that you'll be alright when I'm gone. I need you to not hesitate to reach me if you need me. Okay?"

She is suddenly struck with dark thoughts of their future, and she embraces him tightly as she continues. "I need to know that you'll be waiting for me when I come home."

"Of course I'll be waitin'." He frowns. "Where the fierfek else would I be?"

[teh-rest.livejournal.com]

"I dunno." She shrugs. "You might decide six months is too long."

[random_xtras]

"The rest'a my life's not too long," he says simply. "Cause I knows you're comin' back. Ye promised me."

"I know. And I am." She reaches up to touch his face gently. "Have I mentioned lately how I love your hair?" She reaches behind him to tug on his ponytail.
