First request.

Okay well I haven't been very active on this list, and I've decided as of tonight that I will become more active in both writing and requesting.

So my first request......sappy JC/female. I'm easy to please really.

JC woke up abruptly in the darkness, and in an otherwise unoccupied bed. He yawned a few times before he got up and padded to the kitchen.

She was there in the kitchen, standing in front of the electric kettle as it boiled. He wrapped his arms around her waist and nuzzled her neck.

"Jesus!" She jumped in surprise, almost dropping the porcelain mug she was holding. "Warn a girl, wouldja?"

He laughed softly into her ear. "Sorry hon."

She turned around in his arms, sinking into his embrace. "Did I wake you up?"

"The bed was too empty for me to ignore. But that's OK now." His lips found hers swiftly, a movement that was familiar for the both of them now. For a moment the two of them moulded into a single entity, or at least that's what it felt like to JC. Even after all this time he relished the simple act of kissing her, succumbing to the feel of satiny lips and an agile tongue. They broke apart when the kettle dinged.

"I'm having camomile. Can't sleep in this heat." She wiped the sweat off her brow. It was hot in the middle of the LA summer, and air-conditioning didn't help much.

"Well, there's a reason why I sleep without a shirt."

She quirked an eyebrow. "You mean it wasn't for my benefit?"

JC laughed. "Just kidding, sweetheart. Do we have anymore bottled water?"

She opened the fridge and handed him a bottle of Evian. "We're running low again. Better stop by the store tomorrow."

They sat in silence as they drank, their thighs pressed against each other. The moonlight illuminated her face as it streamed in through the window, and he liked how it made her eyes stand out, her eyelashes more delicate as they shimmered in the pale light. He wrapped his arm around her and held her tight.

"Penny for your thoughts?"

She toyed with the teabag for a while, and when she spoke it came out in a crystalline whisper. "I always think about how you could have any girl you wanted. I mean, I'm not exactly model material."

"You shouldn't let that bother you," JC said. "I love you."

He felt the rise and fall of her shoulders as she let out a long sigh. "I can't help it. You're so…you're like sunshine, JC, you're so happy and you always want the best for people. When I try to see where I fit into the equation, I just…"

He kissed her cheek. "You are part of my equation." He held her at arm's length, regarding her briefly. "You make me happy. I'm so deliriously happy when we're together, I want to write songs…no, whole symphonies dedicated to you."

She held a hand over her mouth in an attempt to stifle her giggling. "Hey!" JC nudged her good naturedly in the ribs. "I'm serious here!"

"Sorry. It just sounds so…cheesy."

"See, this is why we work together. You balance out the cheesy side of me."

"JC, that's not what I…"

"Shhhh." He held a finger to her lips. "Let me finish." He took her hand in his, lacing their fingers together and stroking her slim fingers with his thumb. "You mean the world to me. I honestly think I'd die if you went away. You're sexy, funny, smart, and you most certainly shouldn't be as insecure as this." He ended this speech with a kiss, and felt, rather than saw her smile.
