Logan & Jonothon
Logan drove the jeep back into the school grounds, Jonothon staring out the window, arms crossed across his chest. He'd found the kid reeling drunk in a not very nice bar, starting a fight with one of the older patrons, using a series of eloquent and vile hand gestures.
"Don't run off the grounds again," Logan said as he came slowly down the driveway.
"You're on Blackbird duty for a week."
Jonothon glanced up at him, then stared out the window again. When they stopped he got out and headed up to his room, wrapping his bitterness around him like a black cloak.
Bobby, Rebekah and Faith
"So then I said to the chicken that it was crossing the road to do me, and I was all no way dude, I ain't doing no freaking chicken!" Bobby exclaimed.
"Heya Jubes! You suck my asshole!"
Rebekah rolled her eyes, and went to get a large cup of coffee.
"Shut up, God!" Faith said to Bobby.
"I'll set Logan on you."
"Like he was your dog? A watch dog? Does he wear a collar?"
Faith raised an eyebrow.
"Do you want me to tell him you said that?"
"Shit. No. Please don't!"
Jubilee & Jonothon
"You eat my thrush," Jubilee shot back.
She punched him in the gut none too gently.
"Ass. You want mine. Cos I'm HOT."
Jonothon glanced back into the room before ghosting past.
"Geez, what crawled up his ass and DIED?" Jubilee exclaimed.
"You want him, don't you, Bobby? You slut."
Bobby and Rebekah
"I crawled up there and died, but after cumming."
Bobby grinned.
"I eat thrush, so that means, I eat YOU!"
Rebekah put her coffee down and then decided to go after Jono.
"Jono?"
Jubilee & Jonothon
"You want to eat me," Jubilee said, putting one hand on her crotch.
"You want me BAD, because I'm so HOT. Hot like...hotness!"
Jonothon turned slightly, eyes slightly wary and collar pulled up around his face. One of his eyes was slowly bruising.
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby grabbed Jubilee's arm and giggled into her ear while detailing a strange plan consisting of blades and boxes.
Rebekah looked like she wanted to say something else, but didn't.
"I just... I can go if you..."
Jubilee & Jonothon
Jubilee giggled.
"Let's go!"
She pulled him away, bouncing slightly.
"Because everyone knows costumes are kinky!"
Jonothon hesitated, then shook his head slightly.
"No, I..."
Rebekah
Rebekah felt like her heart was breaking. He didn't love her, and that hurt.
"Did you want to... talk or something?"
Jonothon
Jonothon stared at her, blinking slowly once every so often.
"Bek, I...oh sod. I can't do this."
Rebekah
"Do what?" Rebekah asked, fearing the answer.
She took a slow step towards him.
Jonothon
"I could `ave killed yer. I won't do it again, it's just better if we're not together. I could really `urt you, Bek. I'm too dangerous."
Jonothon turned to go, shoulders hunched.
Rebekah
"Jono, please, I just..."
Rebekah looked at her feet, eyes welling up with tears.
"If that's what you really want, then I won't... I won't push it."
Jonothon
>"It's not wot I want, it's wot needs to `appen."
Jonothon felt his heart tear as he kept his back to her. If he looked at her, he wouldn't be able to do it.
Rebekah
"Jono, please don't run from..."
Rebekah fell silent, biting her lip.
"I guess... I guess I'll see you around then."
Jonothon
"Yeah. I guess."
Jonothon bowed his head and started to walk away. Angelo walked down the corridor towards him, face drawn up in an almost demonic caricature of his normal face, eyes spitting angry.
"Don't you dare, Jonothon."
"Ange, I can't...I couldn't live with me self if I killed `er!"
"Coward."
Rebekah and Levi
Rebekah turned on her heel and fled, running to her room and collapsing into Levi's arms, crying into his shoulder.
Jonothon
"Ange, I can't!"
Jonothon flew backwards into a wall as Angelo decked him, crashing and sliding down to sit on the floor. Angelo stood over him, clenching his fist.
"You leave her...I'll step in, Jonothon. I promise you I will. I won't let you hurt her so badly."
"Don't you f*cking dare!" Jonothon hissed, getting to his feet slowly.
Angelo glared at him.
"A bit dog in the manger, aren't you? But Bek's no bitch."
Rebekah and Levi
"Are you ok?" Levi asked.
Rebekah shook her head, hugging him tightly.
"I don't think I can do this."
Jonothon
Jonothon cursed as Angelo hauled him back to his feet after punching him again and pushed him towards the stairs.
"Stop being an idiot, and go get her."
"Stop it! I CAN'T! I'll kill her or worse next time! Look what I did to Gayle! Paige!"
"Bek is not either of them and you're doing her a disservice by thinking she is," Angelo said, pushing Jonothon down the stairs, one hand fisted in his jacket.
"Let's see if I can fix this f*ck up you've created."
Rebekah and Levi
Levi kissed Rebekah's forehead again, and let her go, as he sensed Bek needed to be alone.
Rebekah left the room, ignoring Angelo and Jono's fight as she went past, wiping her eyes.
Jonothon
"Bek, stop!" Angelo said dangerously, one hand still holding Jonothon by the scruff of the neck like a mother cat holding one of her kittens.
"Jonothon, say sorry to Bek for letting her think those things."
"Let go of me, Ange," Jonothon warned, turning his eyes away from Bek.
"You won't say it? Fine, I will. This British idiot here is being noble, Bek, Stupidly so, which I guess I already covered in calling him an idiot. He thinks he will lose control again and hurt you, because before he gained control he had a pretty bad track record in not hurting the girl he was involved with when his powers got out of hand."
"Out of hand?! I put Gayle in a wheelchair! I demolished a *building* because Paige surprised me with a kiss!"
Jonothon looked at Bek with anguish.
"I won't do it again to her. Not ever."
Rebekah
Rebekah bit her lip.
"So you won't even try? You'll just give up?"
She shook her head.
"I thought you were better than that Jono."
Jonothon
"So, when you're in hospital or in yer grave because of something I did, you'll still be alright with that?" Jonothon demanded.
"Oh, c'mon off it, Jonothon. She could put you in a hospital by driving round a corner too fast and jumping the curb," Angelo said in disgust.
Rebekah
"I don't care, Jono. It's never been about being scared, or never been about not trusting you."
Rebekah folded her arms, anger rising and amplifying.
"I don't care, ok? Because you may as well kill me now anyway, with what you're doing."
Jonothon
"I don't trust meself!" Jonothon shouted at her.
"I'm scared of myself! Of wot I could do!"
Rebekah
"That's a f*cking cop out and you know it. You don't want to get close to anyone, because you're scared. You don't want to let someone in, because it makes you vulnerable. So fine. Push me away. But do me a favour, and just kill me now."
Tears slid down Rebekah's cheeks.
"Because I can't do this, Jono. I can't do this scary life stuff without you, and I don't even want to. So just do it. Just burn me, because what does it matter now? Forget this."
She started to leave again.
Jonothon
Jonothon reached out, grabbed her arm and drew her up against him, kissing her hard.
"God, I luv yer but I know I'm gonna hurt yer. Can't yer see that would destroy me?"
Rebekah
Rebekah cried into his shoulder.
"You won't. I know you won't."
Jonothon
Angelo decided to make a quiet retreat, happy for them but resigned as well. He'd meant what he'd said about stepping in if Jonothon gave her up for good.
"I could `ave killed yer yesterday," Jonothon said brokenly.
Rebekah
Rebekah kissed him gently, running a hand through his hair.
"But you didn't. Jono, I love you, and I just... please don't just leave. Don't be noble."
Jonothon
"I'm not very good at it, yer know," Jonothon said.
"Seem to bollocks up mot things, why would this be any different?"
Rebekah
"Because I won't let you."
Rebekah sniffed and buried her head in his arms, shoulders shaking.
Jonothon
Jonothon stroked her back softly.
"Don't cry, please don't cry."
Rebekah
Rebekah sniffed and looked up at him through her tears.
"I love you."
Jonothon
"God, I love yer so much it hurts," Jonothon said.
He buried his face in her hair, shoulders shaking slightly.
Rebekah
Rebekah kissed his hair, his face, cheeks, anything.
"We should... probably thank Angelo."
Jonothon
"Yeah."
Jonothon sighed.
"I don't think I've ever seen him so angry."
Rebekah
"What did he say to you? Did he hurt you?"
Rebekah touched his eye gently.
Jonothon
"No, that I got in a bar," Jonothon said.
He touched her hair softly.
Rebekah
Rebekah kissed him lightly.
"Come on, we should go thank Angelo."
Jonothon
"Yeah."
Jonothon traced the curve of her jaw with his fingertips.
"I'm so sorry."
Rebekah
"It's ok, but please, don't scare me like that again."
Rebekah smiled slightly.
"I'm sorry too."
Jonothon
"You've got nothing ter be sorry fer," Jonothon said.
"Ange is in the recroom."
Rebekah
They walked into the rec room and Rebekah went and hugged Angelo.
"Thank you, Angelo."
Jonothon
"Ah, was nothing, chica, really," Angelo said uncomfortably, hugging her back gently.
Jonothon touched his friend's shoulder gently.
"Ta."
"You're still an idiot, vato."
Rebekah
Rebekah kissed Angelo's cheek, and brushed her thumb over his chin.
"Thank you so much."
Jonothon & Jubilee
"Was nothing, chica," Angelo said, one corner of his mouth quirking up in a grin.
"Yeah, nothing," Jonothon scoffed.
"HA! Take that Bobby, you ass wipe!" Jubilee yelled.
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby was giggling from his place on the floor hysterically.
"Do the voice! Do it Pubes! Do it!"
Rebekah leant against Jono slightly.
"Why don't we go to Jono's room and talk or something?"
Jonothon & Jubilee
"Yeah, I don't think I like the place that conversation may be going," Jonothon said.
Angelo glared at Bobby.
"You be nice to our Jubes, or I will talk to Logan."
"I belong to me! Wild and free!" Jubilee shouted, striking a pose with one hand on her hip and the other above her head.
"I AM READY!"
Bobby and Rebekah
"Mrs Pubes, why you cry?" Bobby said, in a high pitched mock Greek accent.
Rebekah pulled Jono and Angelo away upstairs.
"So... um, Angelo, I've never seen you hit anyone before."
Jubilee & Jonothon
Jubilee turned around, evil look in her eye.
"STACKS ON BOBBY!"
And jumped, putting one elbow squarely in his stomach. Hard.
Angelo shrugged, getting a cigarette out of his pocket and lighting it up.
"Never wanted to that much since I left home."
"I was being a git."
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby oofed slightly and then laughed.
"Wanna stacks on Hanky? He's all furry! Like a pillow!"
Rebekah sat down next to Angelo on the bed.
"Yes you were."
Jubilee & Jonothon
"Yes indeedy!" Jubilee said.
"Let's go!"
She got up and dashed away, yellow trench coat flapping around her ankles.
Jonothon nodded slightly then lay down on his bed. Angelo punched him to make him move over.
"Don't scare us like that."
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby followed after her, and they both ran into the medlabs and went crashing down on top of Hank.
"STACKS ON!"
Rebekah shifted and leant her head on Jono's shoulder.
"But Angelo is a saviour. A God even."
Hank, Jubilee & Jonothon
Hank went down in a crash of limbs, twisting slightly to fall on the bottom. Jubilee giggled in his face, hands twisted in his fur.
"IT'S HANK!"
"Yes, it is," Hank said somewhat warily.
"What are you doing down there?" she asked in a serious tone, before jabbing her fingers in Bobby's ribs.
Angelo chuckled.
"Don't know if I'd go that far, chica."
"Me neither," Jonothon said.
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby grinned and poked Jubilee in the side, ticking her hips.
"Heya Hanky poohs."
Rebekah shook her head.
"No, Angelo's a God, and I'm going to have ten thousand of his babies."
Hank, Jubilee & Jonothon
Hank stared at them both. Jubilee turned her head and bit Bobby's shoulder hard.
"Bad Bobby! You broke him!"
"Have you two ingested something not ordinarily recommended for humans?" Hank asked.
Angelo and Jonothon stared at Bek.
"Loony."
"Si."
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby turned and bit Jubilee's arm, leaving a large mark.
"No, we haven't had any hallicinegengengens. Hallucin...ationgen."
Rebekah pouted.
"Jono, you're so mean. Angelo, would you like to be my boyfriend?"
Hank, Jubilee, & Jonothon
"Why are you biting each other?" Hank asked in a faint voice.
"He's biting me cos I'm oh so tasty and yummy like a Chinese fortune cookie, and I'm biting him cos he's deserving of pain!" Jubilee said, and bit Bobby again, gnawing slightly and making growl noises.
"Deserving of pain! Much pain! Mwhahahahaha!"
"Alright, chica," Angelo said easily.
"But your ex looks like a possessive bastard who doesn't know when to let go."
"Mine!" Jonothon said and put his arms around Bek's stomach.
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby bit Hank and then spat out some fur.
"Hairball!"
Rebekah shook her head.
"Oh no, Jono, now you've come crawling back. Well, I'm about to tell ya, you've missed this salty goodness."
Hank, Jubilee & Jonothon
Hank yelped slightly in shock and slight pain. Jubilee laughed at Bobby, then bit Hank as well.
"Fur! In my mouth! Bleah!"
Jubilee scraped blue fur off her tongue with her fingernails.
"And may I ask why you're biting *me*?" Hank said in a weary tone.
"Because we luuuuurve you, Hanky spanky! Like that teddybear you just can't throw away, even if it is plague ridden and no fur left!" Jubilee declared.
Hank stared at them both with worried eyes.
"No I haven't."
Jonothon nuzzled her neck lightly.
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby sat up and got off Hank.
"I need to do a pooh!" he announced dramatically.
He raced out, with a loud and smelly fart.
"Eeep! I hope that wasn't pooh!"
Rebekah smiled and kissed Jono's nose.
"Maybe. Snarky English bastard."
Jubilee, Hank & Jonothon
"Bobby, you eat Octavian's crusty underwears!" Jubilee screamed after him.
"And you LIKE IT!"
Hank got up, Jubilee still clinging to his fur and coat like a monkey and went to turn on some fans.
"Mmm."
Jonothon kissed her slowly. Angelo lay back on the bed, happy for them. Really, he was.
Bobby and Rebekah
"Mmmmmm, POOH!" Bobby yelled.
He stuck his ass through the medlabs doors and let out a really loud fart.
"It's a monkey claw!"
He ran off to the toilet.
Rebekah kissed Jono back then turned to Angelo and grinned.
"Do you know how much I love you, Angelo?"
She licked her hand and wiped it down his face.
"That much."
Jubilee, Hank & Jonothon
"EWWWW! Bobby eats thrush crusted panties! OF TAVVIE'S!" Jubilee shouted.
Hank just shook his head slightly.
Angelo rubbed his sleeve over his face.
"That was kinda gross, Bek."
Jonothon snickered.
Rebekah
"You loved it, you want more. You want me to spit in a cup and let you bathe in it."
Rebekah bent down and actually licked Angelo's cheek.
"Mmmm, Angelo cheek."
Jonothon
Angelo leaned forward and licked her cheek.
"If Jono had a mouth, I'd tell him to lick you. But he has no spit."
"I would too," Jonothon said.
"Lick you all over."
Rebekah
Rebekah poked Angelo in the side and then deliberately opened her mouth and let spit fall on his head.
"And would you just, Mr Starsmore? Is that a threat or a promise?"
Jonothon
Angelo pushed her away from him with a gentle shove.
"You could take it either way," Jonothon said thoughtfully.
Rebekah
"Why doesn't Angelo just be your tongue?" Rebekah said, chuckling.
She wiped Angelo's spit off her face.
Jonothon
Jonothon raised an eyebrow at her slightly.
"So, why don't you just take Angelo then?"
Rebekah
Rebekah rolled over and straddled Jono's waist.
"Because I want you. And I love you, and..."
She bent down and kissed him.
Jonothon
"Glad to hear it," Jonothon said as he kissed her back.
Angelo put a foot under Jonothon's back and shoved, sending both the others onto the floor.
Rebekah
Rebekah looked at Jono who was now on top of her.
"Oh, hello Jono!"
Jonothon
"Hello, Bek."
Jonothon kissed her.
Angelo got up.
"I have homework, catch you crazy kids later."
He left quietly.
Rebekah
"I think we scareded him away."
Rebekah kissed Jono, and they eventually made it to the bed.
