More Than Friends

[Jaquelyn Frazier]

Jackie's fingers curled into his hands, and she was surprised at just how badly she wanted to kiss him back. She always enjoyed a guy adoring her and lavishing her with kisses, but she realized now how much she wanted to kiss him back. At the same time, she sort of liked being teased.

And then, when she couldn't take another one sided kiss, his lips were on hers, though he still had her pinned so that she couldn't pull him closer, and she enthusiastically kissed him back. All she had to think about then was him, and her.

Nothing else really mattered.

[Dean Fisher]

Dean let her hands go and put one of his in her hair and the other rested on her cheek. He didn't let up, but then he couldn't breath at the moment. He pulled away for just a second to catch a breath before he leaned down and kissed her again.

He pulled away again and looked down at her with a smile. "I do believe that was better than a piece of chocolate for a reward, don't you think?"

[Jaquelyn Frazier]

Jackie nodded, her lips easing into a smile. Deep down, Dean was just as bold and as adventurous as she was. Just, somewhere along the line, they had been pushed in different directions, so that he hid his streak, and hers could be extreme.

"Yes, it was. For both of us, even, and it was supposed to be your reward for catching me. It's nice of you to share."

She wanted to tell him to stop talking and kiss her again, but she kept quiet here, jut watching him with a smile of adoration.

[Dean Fisher]

"Sharing is a nice thing to do," he said with a chuckle. "And sharing with special friends is what you are supposed to do." Dean gave her a wink, then raised an eyebrow as he looked down at her. "What's with that look?"

Of course, Jackie always brought out the more reserved side of him which no other girl had really been able to do. Zoe had been able to bring that side out a little, but Jackie had brought it out more.

[Jaquelyn Frazier]

"There's no look," Jackie told him. "I'm just looking."

She stayed on her back, looking up at him and the way his hair fell into his eyes. "Let's take dancing lessons. There was this little place I saw in London... it's teaching muggle dances. Wouldn't that be fun?"

Dance lessons were something she always wanted to do, and she wondered if she could coerce Dean into joining her.

[Dean Fisher]

"Dancing lessons," Dean repeated questionably. The thought of him actually taking dancing lessons was something that he never would have pictured himself ever doing. First of all, he was over six foot tall and that could be sort of awkward like, but since Jackie wanted to do it, Dean would try and look on the bright side of things.

He debated the thought in his mind. Dean did hate to tell Jackie no. Some how or another he would always feel guilty if he did. He sighed. "If you really want to, I guess I can't really say no to that."

[Jaquelyn Frazier]

She frowne up at him, and reached up, pushing his hair behind his ear. She could tell he was less than enthused about the idea, and like him, she would never make him do anything he didn't really want to do. Not knowingly, anyway.

"Yes you can," she said softly. "Say no, I mean. You know it's not going to hurt my feelings."

[Dean Fisher]

Dean shook his head. "I'm not going to say no to going to those dancing lessons. One, you want to go to them, and two, if I can go and jump off the top of the Astronomy Tower I believe that I can handle attempting dancing lessons." He smiled at her. "So don't frown. I'm going to do this with you, and that's just the way it is. That sound good to you?"

[Jaquelyn Frazier]

"It would," Jackie replied, loving how much he indulged her. Really, Dean was amazing.

"Except that I know you don't really want to. With the astronomy tower, at least I knew some part of you would have fun doing that. I'm gonna go take those lessons either way, so you really don't have to come with me." She gave him a funny look. "And why aren't you kissing me anymore?"

[Dean Fisher]

"How do you know that deep down that I don't want to take dance lessons," he asked with an eyebrow raised. "Plus, I can't let you do it alone. It would be something fun for us to do together, an adventure." Dean laughed. "Well, talking and kissing at the same time is basically impossible. I guess that means you want me to stop talking." He grinned and leaned back down to kiss her.

[Jaquelyn Frazier]

She felt bad. She really hated it when she talked Dean into doing something he wasn't too keen on. He would always do it anyway. If she wanted to walk off the edge of the earth, he would be right there, holding her hand.

So she just nodded, and maybe they would stall signing up for a while.

She wanted to tell him she loved him after that kiss. She had told Dean many times that she loved him, but it would mean something different if she said it now, wouldn't it?

[Dean Fisher]

Dean pulled away and looked at her again and smiled. He leaned his head down a little more and nuzzled her neck gently. He got the sudden urge to wrap his arms around Jackie and lay down beside her on the couch and just hold her there for awhile.

He continued to smile at her and then he followed his urge and wrapped his arms around her while he shifted to be beside her.

[Jaquelyn Frazier]

She couldn't have been more content as when he snuggled up behind her. For being the shy, bookish boy that he was, he somehow had muscles that could rival some of the quidditch players, and she loved it. She felt safe with him. There were many of her dangerous escapades that she probably wouldn't have followed through on if he hadn't been there, especially in her first and second years at the school. She had always been small, petit, and sometimes, certain things and people just looked incredibly intimidating. Her daredevil attitude resulted from this, actually.

But Dean, who had *always* been a foot or more taller than her as they grew up, never intimidated her. He just simply made her feel safe.

"I like this," she whispered. "I like us."

[Dean Fisher]

He took in the scent of her hair. "Me too," Dean stated. "Me too." He nuzzled part of her neck through her hair and smiled. "I don't really want to walk all the way back to my dorm, and I'm just too comfortable with you right here." Dean tightened his arm that he had wrapped around her. "I say we stay here for the night. Would you be brave enough to do it?"

[Jaquelyn Frazier]

Jackie smiled to herself, her eyes already closed. She was just as comfortable with him, and had been dreading the thought of walking back to her common room, even though it was much closer than his.

"People might talk, Dean," she teased.

[Dean Fisher]

"Let them talk," he responded with only a semi-like teasing voice. "Plus, I don't think that anyone would see us coming out of here. Besides, I think I can handle your snoring." This time, Dean was really teasing. He squeezed her gently. "I kidding. You don't snore. I am honestly just to lazy to walk all the way to the Ravenclaw dorm rooms. So, if people want to talk, then let them. It would be just beside they're jealous that they didn't think about this place, or well, find it."

[Jaquelyn Frazier]

Jakie reached behind her and smacked Dean's side for the comment about her snoring. She knew he was kidding, so she didn't hit him too hard. Besides, Dean should have ben used to her entirely ineffectual hits by now.

"I want to stay like this," she told him, bringing her arm back. "And I don't think you should have to walk all the way back, either."

[Dean Fisher]

Dean laughed as she hit him. "Someone's being violent," he said jokingly. He was used to her hits and there were sometimes when she could hit hard and it would sting him a little but it wasn't nothing too bad.

"We'll stay here all night," he whispered into her ear. Dean moved his arm that was around her to grab the blanket that was on the couch and covered them up with it. He put his arm back around her and smiled. "Are you comfortable?"

[Jaquelyn Frazier]

Jackie nodded, murmuring "Mhm," as she was already half asleep. She snuggled closer to him, and more under the blanket.

"I'm very comfortable," she promised him. "You?" She was very fifty fifty with him, though he made it near impossible for her. She wanted him to be as comfortable as she was.

[Dean Fisher]

"Very," Dean whispered as Jackie snuggled up closer to him. They had fell asleep on the couch together before, however this time was completely different. They weren't just sitting there and just happen to fall asleep on the other. He was happy that he was able to not hide the fact that he just wanted to be extremely close to her.
