He positively beamed, his eyes watering a bit, "You... you like it?" He had hoped she would- his face brightening, he shuffled to hook his cane on his arm, fishing it out of it's box before offering it out to her, smiling even brighter, "Of.. of course! Here... I'm... I'm glad you like it, it's... I picked it out just for you and... I wanted something special."

The bracelet tinkled beguilingly and Sasha held out her hand, almost jittering with excitement.
"It's the most beautiful thing I've ... oh my gosh I just love it Jerry! Ohhh look at it, just.. just look, oh my gosh."

"You do? I'm glad! I'm so glad! I s-saw those charms and... and I just knew it was perfect, I wanted something perfect and... and it looks beautiful on you!" He beamed, positively brimming with emotion before wrapping his arms around her, burying his face against her hair, "I just... you mean a lot to me, Sasha and.... and I wanted something special for you that... that really said that, you know?"

It was hard to explain just how Sasha felt the instant that Jerry put that bracelet on her wrist. It was like... just, the best feeling ever. A slow, steady warmth spread throughout her, and as Jerry wrapped his arms around her, she returned the gesture. All of her worries seemed to just... melt away, slowly but surely.
"It's the most wonderful present that anyone has ever given to me ever in my whole life, Jerry! I mean, except for my flute, but this is different!"
She was having a difficult time focusing on what her intent had been when she'd closed the door earlier.
"You mean a lot to me, too, Jerry. And.. gosh. Just."
She hummed softly.
"I love you, Jerry."
Sasha pulled away enough to beam up at him.
"Lets go make some cookies! I'm sure everyone needs something to make them happy. Like a celebration! Everyone opening their doors like ... like presents! They don't know what's inside, and like... some people got lovely bracelets when they opened their doors - like me, and then like... well, some people got coal."
She giggled madly.
"Like you, except not really, because now you're staying with me and I've got to show Rin this bracelet."

Jerry frowned at the mention of coal, but shook his head, "I'm not sure if it was ah... kharma as much as bad luck, ahahaha but... but... I mean.. so it's alright I stay with you?" He wasn't sure if flashing the bracelet to Rin was a good idea either. She had made it very clear what she thought about Sasha, and it might be just rubbing salt in the wound.
He didn't want that, that's not why he wanted to give her the gift but, "I'm... I'm so glad you like it. " His face had gone red as she whipped out the L word, and it took him a few moments before he got his lips to work too, "You... I.... Sasha I...."

Sasha lifted a hand to pat his cheek reassuringly, charmed bracelet jingling as she moved. Her attention was grabbed by the glint of silver and diamond, and in the next instant she was twirling away from him, completely distracted by the shiny. His stuttering was lost on her for the moment.
The bracelet was just. So shiny.
So pretty.
So amazing.
"Of course you can stay here! This room is.. well, it's a nice room. It's very spacious!"
It wasn't really.
"Today might just be the best day ever. In fact, I think it really is the best day ever." She paused, turned to face him.
"Just... Jerry." Sasha frowned softly. "No.. no more drinking, okay? I... it hurts me too much. I don't.. I don't want that for us, you know? We can be so much better than that, I know we can. Together, right?"

It took an edge off to see Sasha so pleased, and smiling again, the look of worry mostly melted from her face, but his smile was soft with an edge of guilt as he squeezed her hands, "No more drinking," He conceded, although didn't look entirely pleased about it, "I promise." He shifted forward, leaning in to kiss her forehead. For her, he would try. Try his hardest. "Together is better than alone."

At his words that bright smile returned even broader than before. She leaned into the kiss he pressed against her forehead, pulling away to grin up at him almost impishly.
"You're never alone, Jerry. I'm always here. Always! And you know what? You're the best, Jerry. You're the best. And I like your cane, it's so dashing."
Sasha reached up to place her hands against his cheeks, her eyes wide and feverishly bright as she beamed up at him.
"What were we doing again? I can't stop staring at my bracelet! It's just beautiful. The best present. You're the very best boyfriend, Jerry."

"I'm not the best anything," Jerry said softly, fidgeting throuhg the meager remains of his things. At least he had a place to stay. He'd have to inform Killzone where he would be, he supposed. "You um. Wanted to show it to Rin? Just... don't make her feel too bad ahahaha that wasn't my intention." He flushed, running his fingers over the crook of the cane. He had stopped using the leg brace, at least- it seemed whatever had happened was fixing itself, which was a relief. Maybe it wouldn't be permanent.
It still hurt when he pushed it too much, though. Take it carefully. Maybe he should bite the bullet and finally see someone about it. The damage had already been done, unfortunately, but at this point maybe there was something he could do to speed things along.
"I'm glad to see you smiling, at least!" He was worried, once she had brought up the whole drinking thing that this was it... that their relationship would be over before it had even begun.
He just wanted to be happy. He wanted them both to be happy.
He wanted a drink. He didn't need one. He had Sasha's smile.
"I... I should probably go get our things in the bunker, then, huh? No more hiding my guitar for fear someone'll smash it, ahaha..."

Sasha stood on tip-toe and pressed a little kiss to the corner of Jerry's lips, offering a small pat of her cool hand against his cheek before she backed away.
"You are the best if I say you are, okay! And.. I'm glad to see you smiling, too." She paused for a moment, tilting her head to the side as she peered up at him.
"I won't make Rin feel bad! That's terrible. I just want to make Rin be happy. Rin is the best, too. She makes good sandwiches. And she ah.. she helped me out when you were gone and I was worried."
Sasha hummed as she flit her way over to the closet again, retrieving her jacket before grinning broadly at Jerry.
"My flute, could you bring it back? It's in Killzone's room, behind the giant dolphin?"

"Ah... yeah! Sure! Not a problem!" He straightened up, shifting his jacket before limping towards the door, "I don't know if you left anything else down there, but I'll look too." He smiled. As far as he could remember, it was just the flute, his bathroom kit, his guitar and a few other little things. She probably left a few pieces of clothing down there too, he couldn't remember, but he'd figure it out.

Sasha opened the door for Jerry, waiting until he'd made his way out before she closed the door behind them.
She jingled her bracelet and giggled madly.
"We should have like. A picnic or something. On the beach! It's so sunny out, it would be the perfect thing, don't you think?"
With a little skip-twirl, Sasha beamed up at him.
"I'll text your later?"

"It's a date!" He beamed, unable to stop himself from laughing as well. Her apparent glee was contagious. "Text me when you're ready! Goodness, I've been here a year and I don't think I've EVER seen the sun on this island! It'll be fun!"

Sasha paused and wrapped her arms around Jerry in a tight, quick hug before pulling away so that she could reach up in order to boop him on the nose with her index finger.
"Awww, the best. You're so great. Okay, talk to you later?"
She closed her eyes and puckered her lips.

The gift had certainly been a good idea, he reflected as he leaned in to match her lips, smiling softly. It had cheered her up exponentially! "I'll... I'll see you in a little while, then? We can ah... drag a mattress in or... or make me a cot or something," He pulled back, hands still on her wrists before finally letting go to limp his way out to the hall.
