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.

"You know," she said suddenly, "you are most decidedly insane for letting me do this."

Prelaunch nerves had settled in ages ago, but being in a position to share this nervousness with him was an opportunity she'd never had before.

"I trusts you." He strokes her cheek with his thumb. "Was missin' you so bad it hurt tonight. Watchin' Leeroy 'n Sam was murder."

"Were they that bad?" Jeimu grins for a moment and then becomes very serious. "And I missed you too. How do you think you got here anyway?"

He thinks of kissing her. "Not bad at all. Half the time she treats 'im like 'er brother. It's just once in a while ye sees one 'o 'em blush."

"Aw, how cute." She catches wind of his thoughts and looks up at him again, smiling shyly. "We'd have made a hell of a double date, eh?"

[random_xtras]

"That was one 'o the thoughts that was hurtin'." He leans down and gently brushes his lips over hers.

"I'm sorry."

She tries to say something else but his kiss cuts her off. She winds her arms around him, holding him tightly.

Their kiss ends and she sighs again. "This sucks."
