Jun tossed a towel atop his head for him to dry himself off. She stopped mid-track and quickly turned around. "No reason, I had a bad dream and couldn't get back to sleep." Jun replied quietly before going to sit on her bed.

Jack caught the towel with surprising speed and accuracy. He was impressed with his up-to-date reactions but also concerned that he had put himself on guard even at Jun's house. He tilted his head a little when he heard about Jun's dream. He wanted to reassure her that it was and was only a dream, but if it had scared her out of her sleep then Jack didn't want to accidentally belittle her with the wrong string of words. 'Every string is wrong at 3am,' he thought sarcastically as he used the towel for a second. "Oh," he said in the middle of a silence. "I wanted to thank you for your advice from earlier." Jack stopped using the towel and folded it neatly between his thoughts. He felt like a bit of an idiot since he still didn't know how to organize them despite the fact that they were the cause of his appearance at Jun's door in the first place. "It saved me from getting arrested." Jack had a strange feeling that his consequence might have been worse, even, since his friends usually armed themselves with weapons.

Jun's surprised face from hearing 'getting arrested' first then it faded when the 'it saved me' clicked. "You're welcome..." She said in a small voice. Not saying much more then that since it was 3am and her brain was still 60%+ asleep. Jun glanced back at him with a small smile. "I'm glad you didn't get arrested." She said quietly after a few moments of listening to the sound of rain drown out the silence.

Jack smiled weakly and found that his face expressed noticeable fear no matter what he did. He wore one of the slightly spooked stares that usually looked down into a corner as if being reminded by a nightmare. His nerves were slowly soothed by the rain as he listened to the silence that Jun also seemed to grasp a hold of. Jack looked up a little when he heard Jun's voice. That time, a real smile appeared for some reason. "Me, too," he said in a sleepless daze. His voice wasn't too quiet, but it surely wasn't it's normal volume. Then his battered midn remembered that he wasn't the only one up that late. "What's been keeping you up?"

Jun sighed softly. "I already told you, I had a bad dream and couldn't get back to sleep..." She replied quietly as she patted the spot next to her, as an offer for Jack to come sit or lay down. Either way she didn't mind.

Jack shook his head a bit, not sure what he was more in denial of. He had been woken up from dreams before, whether good or bad. A glass of tea or something of the sort always put him back to sleep, since he was usually never quite woken out of his stream of unconsciousness. He knew that there must have been something seriously 'up,' but Jack decided to not pester Jun into telling him. He blinked once and put a hand against the side of his pants upon being knocked into reality. "I'm soaked," he answered flatly. Jack knew his excuse was useless, but didn't know why he even bothered to use it. So, he walked over to Jun's side and sat next to her anyway.

More rain filled in for silence before Jun moved her gaze to Jack. "I... I had a dream.. that I'm.. in trouble.. with death.... That's why I can't sleep. I don't wanna see that scythe come so close..." She said so softly, her words could barely be heard as she brought her knees up to hug them.

Jack listened closely to Jun, repeating the entire conversation in his head to clarify that what he heard was right. It was difficult for him to understand any of it, but he didn't care. It was too late for him to think things through or even bother to question trust. After a few moments, Jack had a burst of an idea- maybe Jun really was in trouble with death. He sheepishly wondered if he was involved with it. "Could you sleep if I stood guard for you?" he asked curiously. Jack knew that eventually, Jun would have to sleep- life was unfortunately inevitable like that. Regardless, he thought it was cruel of such a powerful force to play sinister tricks on someone like Jun; someone who didn't even do anything wrong. 'Is living such a bad thing?'

She shakes her head lightly and looks at him. "Mr. Reaper said I should've died a long time ago, like someone- or something was interfering with his orders." Jun thought of the angel-girl who showed up and shakes her head, moving her gaze from Jack. "It was just a dream." She murmured to herself as a way of protesting. Jun slid off the side of her bed and went into her closest, pulling out some boy-ish clothes that might fit Jack and tossed them to him. "Change into something dry before you get sick, bathroom's just down the hall." She said with a light smirk.

[[ ^^ I owe you one for this RP idea. -- I had some huge grudge against couples in general (mainly guy x girl, hence why yume posts her [[]] thoughts in this thread <3..) since who knew life could be so miserable. //cuttingthestoryshort// ; w; there were few if any (at some points x=x that was hell) that i could "trust." even if this is "just an RP," idgaf because it's inspirational -- Tys, Nova. ]]

Jack lowered his gaze, visibly irritated. "Maybe," he started to say aloud. Jack spoke through his teeth and to 'no one' in particular. It was like he had muffled the courage to face Death itself as if it were in that very room. "Mr. Reaper should consider who he goes after.." Jack stood right after Jun did, amused by her wardrobe and pulled from his frustration. He knew tomboy-type girls from school, but Jun never struck him as one. "Are you sure?" he asked after a moment or two. His expression was somewhat blank but also hinted at surprise. Jack didn't want to seem like he was just running around needing things. "I can just wring the water out- I know how to."

[[ wait... wha? @[email protected] *confuzzled* ]]

Jun blinked and turned around to see him, not really hearing Jack's statement. She shrugged lightly and muffled a giggle. "If that's what you wanna do, I don't mind. I just don't want you getting sick." She managed a smile before going back to sit on the edge of her bed.

[[ xwx an rp like this one opens up my mind, even if it gets the title of "just a story." emotional therapy for the win >o< ]]

Jack set the given clothes on the side of the bed. "I'll be right back," he said with a slight grin. It didn't take him long to walk lightly over to the bathroom and go hopefully unnoticed. He wrung his clothes out one piece by piece over the bathtub in no time. Soon afterwards, he was almost completely dry and back on his way to Jun's room. He peeked in without a sound to make sure he wasn't getting lost or making too much noise.

[[ oh! -giggles- <3 n.n ]]

Jun nodded lightly and laid on her bed as she waited her his return. When he returned she sat up and smiled in his direction.

[[ one-liner x-x ]]

[[ daijobu~ lul, writer's block is the worst ;~: any and all kinds of it ]]

Jack closed the door behind him with a small click of the door handle springing back. He walked over to Jun and sat next to her, glancing out the window for a moment as if he'd already been doing so for hours. Jack sighed softly soon afterwards and looked her in the eyes. He was mesmerized by such a beauty that wasn't cruel to him, nor demanded that he put up a certain reputation. Jun was a beauty that Jack could and would honestly say he appreciated and wasn't just killing time with her for any excuse of infatuation.

[[ yeb x0x -- neh, i've got this "Project Manga" thingy going on and I was wondering if maybe you'd to interested in reading? it's like a manga only its laid out like and American one 'cause I forgot to lay it out like a Japanese one ^^' i've got the pages labeled in the description ^~^ (<- one of many reasons why "The Last Lekti has been put on hold >x<) ^0^ ]]

Jun kept her smile painted across her lips and blinked when he came to sit beside her and looked at him while he glanced at the window. Of course when he looked her in the eyes, she felt her cheeks warm up. Locking eyes with someone she liked... Nah, someone she was in love with so much but she couldn't quite tell him in words just yet because of the cruel, cruel, world around her. She was still a little scared to admit to being in love. He-he. Jun swiftly moved her gaze from his after a few moments and hugged her teddy that he had won her at the fair. "The woman you met at the fair was indeed my mother, the same one that abandoned me and my brother when we were kids.. and the one I ran from on a day much like this night- rainy." She blinked and became slightly flustered with herself. "S-sorry. I just thought- I should tell you." Jun said quietly with rosy cheeks.

[[ ooh~ i'd love to read it. <3 lawls, is it left->right instead of right->left? x3 ]]

Jack smirked when Jun's timid self showed through in her smile. He listened carefully to what Jun had to say and then remembered the rainy day in which she'd run off. There was a strange flash of the double-vision Jack stumbled across when he fell out of his strength. 'Like someone was showing me how to get to her..' "No, it's alright, really." he said after Jun finished. Jack held a kindhearted stance. "One of the guys in my gang got arrested," he somewhat-blurted. Jack rarely told anyone about the status of his friends, especially if they were in that kind of situation. Most of them even carried arms. "I didn't bother to check what it was-- I turned my phone off-- but they were caught in some hideout I got called to to after the fair. "Needless to say I didn't go.." Jack knew that Jun could imply the rest- why he'd expressed his thanks for her wise words of advice, how he'd been able to stay up late sleeplessly, all the signs of stress written across his poor decision-making by running out in the rain- so he said no more.

[[ thank you~ <3 -- hai~ x3 ]]

Jun blinked and glances at him. This was the first she'd heard of him being in a gang.. but it was like a 'don't ask, don't tell' kind of thing so she didn't push further into the topic. Her expression softened and she gently placed a delicate hand on his cheek. "Jack, Jack, Jack." She smiled a little. "I'm oh so very glad you didn't go." Jun chuckled lightly slowly moves her hand away.

Jack blushed a bit when he realized that Jun had reached out to him. He didn't push away for once, so he simply listened. "Me, too.." he said softly. A small smile appeared on his face, but Jack was still concerned about that event. He got the feeling like much worse things would have happened than simply being arrested. 'That grief is for another day,' he decided.

Jun covered her mouth to yawn quietly. "Do you want to spend the night? Doesn't look like the rain's gonna let up any time soon." She said quietly in soft sleepy voice as she glanced at him with a small smile.

Jack put a finger to his lip and smirked a little when Jun asked him to stay. "Mm.." he thought aloud, pretending like his mind wasn't made up quite yet. "I guess it is a little dangerous to be running around in the cold- why not~?"

[[ two-liner >x< ]]

[[ iz okay ^-^ ]]

Jun giggled a little. She smiled and laid on her side so she was facing Jack, luckily the bed size was a full. "If you want to, you could stay in here or you could go to brother's old room." Jun said all sleepy like

Jack tilted his head with a playful expression when Jun shifted. A few things trickled into his thoughts; he looked off for a moment to ponder them. He wondered what Sabrina would do if she walked in before morning- what a thought. 'I don't want to have that kind of an impression so early-on..' he thought. 'Why did I even think this was going to work?' So, Jack shook his head. The longer he was fully awake, the longer his mind could settle in on his somewhat irrational decisions. "I can do either- it's up to you."

Jun pondered for a moment or two before cuddling with Jack and looking at him with the most adorable face EVER that pretty much said "I'd feel better if you were in here" since she was sleepy alright, but the thought of her "dream" still had her freaked out just a little bit.

[[ finally! brain spazz's SUCK! >0< ]]

[[ xD~ ]]

Jack was a little startled when Jun moved to cuddle him so, but he didn't mind it. He practically melted under Jun's cute spell and couldn't protest anything more than a short glance in the other direction. So, he returned the hug a second later and smiled at Jun- the kind of smile that was weakened by sleep deprivation but still as warm and sincere as ever.

She smiled softly and laid her on his chest, letting her tired eyes slowly close as she drifted off to sleep. Jun prayed to the God that kept her alive all these years, that she wouldn't ever have to face the reaper in her dreams or in reality. She wondered though, who the angel...? Her aura had felt familiar but from where? Soon enough Jun was fast asleep, knowing she was safe made her feel at ease.
