What about us? (erosaf)

[Kanchana]

Jason Lewis sighed as he left the briefing offices, it was as if both his dreams and nightmares were coming true. He was being deported, something he used to long for. But now, it was the exact opposite.
It ment he had to leave her. Auraka understood, for he had chosen him to lead a small amount of boys, but it meant leaving Naina here by herself...with those idiots around her.

He sighed, green eyes running the area around him. His training ran to deep to stop the practised movements.
His mind darted back towards Naina, and a smile tugged at his lips. She was perfect, for him at least. Her long blonde hair, aways pulled into a tight ponytail as she had to. The deep meaningful grey eyes that were always watching. Her laughed, he decided was his favourite part about her.
He would spend every day trying to make her laugh, making those eyes sparkle brightly.

He smiled again, heading quietly but directly for Naina's room. She bunked with Audrey, an odd child like girl but she was one of the best students beside Naina. Though, Naina had been doing it longer then anyone else.
His hand rose, pausing before knocking lightly. He had to tell her, but he wasn't looking forward to it.

Naina Collins
Well this was finally happening. We were both graduating from the training side of things. Though for the second time for me. Who knew where we would both be going from now one. How long would we be able to talk each other face to face?

I smiled though and went to answer the knock on the door. "Lutenant General Jason," I siad, saluting when i saw who it was. This was going to be interesting. he rarely came over this way while I was still training.

[Kanchana]

Jason smiled broadly as the door opened, nodding to them both.
"Naina, Audrey," he said and sighed turning to look at Naina and meet her gaze.
"Are you free? I need to talk to you about something..." he said glancing over at Audrey who cackled with laughter.
"Ooo loverboy," she crowed but he ignored her, despite the blush creeping into his cheeks.
He was still young, despite his rank. He had worked hard and was hoping to go even further, but that was for another time.
"Audrey," he said finally and she shut her mouth quickly "I think you might like to rethink what you have said unless you are wishing to scrub the bathrooms once more."
He gave her a small smile at her shocked expression "I'm still your teacher," he smiled.

I smiled at him. "I'm sure you're already aware I have a little of free time before the ceremony starts, Jason." I at least managed to ignore Audrey for once. There was no nee dfor ehr to say such things around him. Though we were good freinds now, there were still the other guys who did not trust me yet.
Even though i had stood with them and helped to turn the Italian's away without much life lost on this end, they still were not pleased about me being here. Some of them did trust me, but not many.
"At least things are slightly easier for me, around here, though not many raelly know that I helped in that fight," I said, after shutting the door behind me.

[Kanchana]

Jason nodded slightly "I know," he said simply and led her back down the stairs. He smiled, picturing Audrey sitting on her bed with her legs crossed, staring after them with her eyes wide and innocent.
His hand brushed slightly against hers and he loved her soft touch.
He lead her around the back of the building, a small garden there to bring some warmth into the dreary place and sat on a small garden bench, motioning for her to sit.
"I.." he started and paused putting his words together in his mind. Despite planning what he would say to her, all words excaped him in the moment of need.
Instead he reached into his pocket, pulling out a small box. It wasn't a wedding ring, merely a family tradition of his.
It was a promise ring, and he hoped that she would take it.
"I am being deported," he manged to say fiddling with the box and looked up to meet her gaze "tomorrow morning."
He searched her face and pushed the box into her hand.
"It is a promise ring," he said opening the box to show her the loveheart silver banded ring.
"When the heart points away from you, it means friendship and when you point it in, towards your heart, it means your in love," he said it slowly, looking at the ring rather then at her.
He gave her back the box, letting her chose.

I followed after him, knowing that this would be annoying the hell out of Audrey. When he motioned for me to sit down on the seat I did, knowing he would not mind me being so close. I knew he liked me, and not to mention I liked him as well.
"How long are you going to be gone?" I asked, hardly able to say those few words. Why was it when my life was finally looking up that he had to be sent away? Why did life have to be so unfair to me, and to him?
When he opened the little box to show me the ring I was very surprised to see what it held. "It's very pretty." Though I was not one for jewellery, I smiled at him. "Of course I'll keep it."

[Kanchana]

He smiled slightly, a hint of saddness in the movement.
"Something between 6 and 12 months," he said running a hand though his black hair "I have been given a commmand of 15 men."
Most commands where small, his was large by some. He flashed her a smile.
"They fly me out tomorrow, the other....leader is out of action," he said quietly, knowing that the man had died with a bullet right to the chest.
"But Auraka allowed me to stay for your graduation," he said turning to face her slightly, his eyes locking with hers and his hand rose slowly, brushing the hair from her face and resting it finally on her cheek.
He lent towards her slowly, his lips brushing against hers only for a moment before drawing back. He wondered what she would do.....

I smiled, listening. I knew how these things worked, and he knew that pretty well. Though my eyes were on his face, my hands moved elsewhere, taking the ring out of the box, and moving it onto one of my fingers, the hearts pointing towards me. I was not even thinking about what my hands were doing, they moved of their own account.

It was a pity that he had to go like this, but I knew that he did not want to go himself. That was the hard thing to accept. If it was one thing I knew, if he told me to do something I would do it, whether it was on the battlefield or not, for I now knew what my heart wanted. He was the one that it continued to beat for, and I knew that I would follow him until I died, where ever that was.

A small but very timid smile forced in my lips as I looked at the face in front of me. Why the hell was I feeling so timid around him when never had I before? This was something that completely confunded me. He was the one who had first accepted me into this country, and the one that had always been there, never really doubting me. For someone who had come here seeking a way to make up for a debt that was too big for one person, filled with guilt about how many she had slain, he had been the one to get me on the right path.

I knew that though he trusted me, there were many who still did not. "For one who once saw me as an enemy, things have turned around havent they? You've always been there for me, though at times I did not want you to be. I used to not trust any of you, but now I think that even I have changed to the opposite side of things."

Then he did the complete unexpected and gently kissed me. Though I was a little surprised by that, my mouth yeilded under his and though he moved away much too quickly, I had returned the pressure on the tiniest bit, though he would have noticed. "I'll miss you while you're gone, Jason. Don't you dare get hurt out there."

OOC: 391 words... wow.

[Kanchana]

The eyes widened slightly, watching as the ring was placed onto her long finger. The heart faced inwards and his heart skipped a beat. If he died at this war, he would die a happy man.

"Naina," he said quietly meeting her even gaze "I have never seen you as an emeny, nor none of those on the other side. I see them merely people fighting for what they believe in...just that we pay with our lives in proven wrong."
He took her hands gently and gave them a light squease.
"And I will always be here, as long as you want me to," he said.

His thoughts fluttered back to his daring kiss, trying to remember if the light pressure he believed there had been really there.
"I'll miss you as well...and of course I wont," he said gently, pulling her closer and giving her a hug.
"For once I have a reason to write home," he smiled slightly and wrapped an arm around her somewhat broad shoulders.

[Jenny Night]

Naina Collins
I sighed as I listened to him. "some are not as gracious about the things I have done, and sadly, niether are others I have known in the past. You are likely the first to say something like that."
I smiled at him though, knowing that he was a little confused as to whether I had tried to kiss him back or not.
"I better get back to the dorm, Audrey's going to drive me nuts when I get back up there and there is not all that much time before that ceremony."

[Kanchana]

He nodded his agreement, and flashed a soft smile.
"Hmm," he said and smoothed her cheek with a thumb "I guess you better...but one thing first."
He pulled her slightly closer, ducking down so he was at her height and pressed his full lips against hers.

Forever, he decided, he could kiss her forever. Her lips so soft and full yeilded easily to his touch.
It was funny, he had a fleeting thought, how the fear of an ucoming battle could make you try new things. He was glad he had at least.

[Jenny Night]

Naina Collins
"I am definately going to miss you, Jason," I replied, hugging him so gently that he would barely even feel it. I knew how much stronger I was than I looked, but I knew he knew about that. I didn't want to hurt him personally.
Again my own mouth yielded under his, but this time I returned the pressure a little more, but I was always gentle when it came to doing anything with someone else. Unless of course, they were an enemy. Something I had never seen Jason as, since the day I met him.
A good thing I knew that was/

[Kanchana]

He pulled away, leaning his forehead gently against hers and sighed.
"You won't even know I'm gone...I'll write every chance I get," he said quietly and gave her hands a pat before pulling away.
"Now, I believe you must go get ready...but Naina?" he asked and looked at her once more, eyes locking.
"Should the others know yet?" he shifted nervously, he wasn't sure if he was actually allowed to 'offically' date a student, seeing as he was a teacher. But she was different, he decided to leave the choice up to her.

[Jenny Night]

Naina Collins
"We'll figure that one out in the long run, Jason. I really don't care because technically, you're not my teacher much longer so does it really matter?Though if you want, I can hide it for the mean time," I said.
No one would know if i chose to hide things like this, I was very hard to read for those who did not know me. No one could get into me and make me tell them things that I wanted to keep hidden.
"I think Audrey already knows whats going on here."
I smiled at him. "I can handle her though, don't you worry."

[Kanchana]

He shrugged slightly, knowing it would affect her more then him since he was leaving in less than 24 hours.
"Maybe..." but he shrugged again "lets just see how long we last?" he sugested finally.
He smiled at the mention of Audrey.
"That I think she might..odd girl, but hard not to like," he mused aloud "but loyal, she seems loyal to you at the least...breaking a boys nose," he shook his head.
