Jerry sagged as Candace hurried out of the kitchen, his face contorting miserably. She smiled, she was polite, but he could tell in her eyes she was upset.
He wasn't quite sure what she was upset about. He knew the only time she had been away from H was when he was away from her. She didn't need him. What did he care?
He had found something better. She would too, one day. Maybe. Like Petra had.
"S-sorry... um. About that. I didn't mean for her to um. I wasn't mean was I?"

Sasha watched Candace leave with a strange expression on her face. She was quiet for a long time after Jerry spoke.
"It's just. I mean, I don't understand. You know? Like. I don't know."
Sasha shook her head and squeezed Jerry's hand, settling her gaze on his face.
"I don't think you were mean. I just.. I think she's sad. Like. Emotionally sad? I just.. she kept saying she didn't deserve you."
Sasha pursed her lips. Made a thoughtful noise. Shrugged.
"You were um. Looking for me?"

"Mmm..." He rubbed his leg, glancing to her for a moment even as the guilt crept up his esophagus. "Maybe... maybe I don't deserve her. Maybe I deserve better." His face had gone red again.

Sasha watched him rub his leg, squeezing his hand again. A wave of red rolled over her face. She wasn't stupid, and it was easy to get what he was saying.
"Maybe it's.. not about deserving something. Or even not about deserving um. Better. Maybe it's just.. it's about being happy. I think that.. I think everyone deserves to be happy."
She bit her lip, lifting her eyes from his leg to his face.
"Do you want some coffee? Or uh.. we could find a place to sit?"

"N-no, Sasha... I.. um..." He shifted, debating for a moment.
Alpha Wolf.
He leaned forward to catch her lips.
Awoooooo.
No regrets.

There was a tickle that started in Sasha's chest when Jerry leaned down to kiss her. That same tickle had been there the very first time they'd kissed, as well. If anything, this tickle was a little more.. intense.
Sasha's eyes slipped shut, her lashes flickering against her cheeks.
She could get used to this. It was nice. His lips were soft, and he smelled fresh - like he'd recently showered and shaved.

He had gone this far, and she wasn't slapping him...
That was a good sign.
He let his hands slip around her, creeping up to trace the line of her braid with his fingertips as his palm slid up her back.
He took a moment breath before leaning back against her lips, parting his own to taste her better.

Well.
Sasha jumped a little when she felt Jerry's hands against her back, creeping along her braid. She wasn't sure what to do with her hands, so she slid her palms against his chest, very hesitantly.
When Jerry's lips parted, Sasha's breath caught. Her hand tangled in his shirt and she pulled away, burying her face against his chest with a softly gasped, "Jerry!"
A little surprised, a little nervous, a little scared... a whole lot curious.

"I... I really... I really like you, Sasha... I mean... I... s-sorry..." He breathed, face going red.
It had been so easy to blurt out the 'L' word for Candace. He had said it far too often.
Maybe that's where he had gone wrong.
Stop thinking about her. Live in the moment. Alpha Wolf. You're doing great.
"M-maybe... we should go sit somewhere? Um... more comfortable?"

Sasha squeezed her eyes shut, a muffled, "Don't be sorry," grumbling forth. She didn't want him to be sorry. She didn't. Sasha wasn't sorry. She was just.
Afraid.
"I'd like to.. to sit. Somewhere. With you."
Sasha hazarded a glance at his face. He was red, but she was fairly sure that she was too.
"I.. I like you, too, Jerry. A lot. And.. I'm just."
With a rough little noise, she took his hand and tugged him out of the kitchen.
"Where.. where to?"

"K-killzone's... dolphin room?" He ventured breathily.
As far as he knew, it was usually... mostly unoccupied.
And comfortable.

Sasha gave Jerry a look.
It was a little incredulous.
"I guess um. I guess I could use the walk."
She didn't sound entirely happy about it, but she led the way back to the bunker.

Jerry used the walk to his advantage. His palm was sweaty against her hand, but he didn't let go, limping a little and not because of his knee. Just calm down.
She wanted to sit with him. They just wanted... some privacy. She hadn't rejected him.
She liked him too.
The journey back felt like a blur, but he said little as he let her lead the way, mind churning all the while.

It didn't take too terribly long for them to make it back to the bunkers. Sasha had really started to hate this place - she longed for her own room again - but if Jerry wanted Killzone's dolphin den, well.
Jerry would get Killzone's dolphin den.
She tugged him into the room.
Stared at him, a little smile on her lips.

He felt breathless, although they hadn't rushed. Panic began to build up again, he almost chickened out, until he saw her face and that soft, gentle inviting smile. "Is... is this better?" His hand tightened around her's.
