Jason grinned as well. "That's flattering. Are you sure you can't remember anything besides that? Or was I the only important detail?" he teased.

"Something about my father's yacht and pretty fish?" he said, looking up at Jason. "And watching clouds. But yeah, nothing important but you."
He closed his eyes again, just leaning lightly against Jason as his body trembled a bit with the strain. He shifted to make it easier to lean on him. "Are you sure we aren't together?" he mumbled.

"Mmm... almost seems that way, doesn't it?" Jason murmured in answer, snuggling closer to Zeph. "That we're together, I mean. We sleep in the same bed, for crying out loud, which is something not a lot of friends do on a regular basis..."

Zeph smiled at him, "We haven't done anything yet... We haven't even kissed yet. And I've napped with friends before, without any romantic interest at all. Not very often though..."
He kept his head on Jason's chest, listening to his heartbeat. They really should be just friends, but... well, people often met people just by dating, and became friends while they dated. He wouldn't try to go too far... well, Jason wouldn't let him even if he tried anyway. Which was a relief, actually. "And it didn't help me sleep like you do... people date without being friends first all the time. And it works fine..."

"True," Jason nodded. "But sometimes it's better for people to wait awhile and become friends before they start dating." He frowned. "Doesn't help us much though, since I have no idea where we even are in our relationship right now..."

"Mmm. Me either," Zephyros sighed, hugging Jason again. He was content to just sit there; it was more restful than anything else. "I really like being around you, though. More than just a friend."

"The feeling's mutual," Jason replied softly, snuggling close to Zeph and wrapping his arms around him.
If he only knew what kind of feeling it was, or would turn out to be...

"Let's just take it as it is then," Zephyros suggested. "Don't try to label it. We're friends for sure, maybe more... but if others want to label us as more, then we can leave it alone."
He didn't want to be separated from him... He moved closer, still listening to Jason's heartbeat. It was going a little fast, like his was. Smiling, he moved one hand up to play with Jason's hair, like in his dream.

Jason laughed quietly and moved one hand up to play with Zeph's hair in return. "Good idea. No point in rushing into the unknown if we're not even sure where we are to start with, right?"

Zeph smiled, "Right. Though if we're already in the unknown... Who's to say what's ahead is worse?"
He liked Jason's fingers in his hair... though with how his head was, it was awkward to play with Jason's. He shifted, sitting so that it was easier. His fingers found a tangle and he gently worked through it. His hair had to be a mess; either Jason wasn't finding any of the tangles, or he was very, very deft at working them out. Either way, it felt good.

"Exactly," Jason nodded, finding a large knot in Zeph's hair and gently untangling it.
He fell silent, wondering what would be ahead of them now. He wasn't afraid, exactly, but very curious. Would life go on as normal, or would something shake their relationship to its core, whatever it was? Sometimes those shakings were for the better, sometimes for the worse. He had no way of guessing what was coming, and for the moment that would have to do. After all, it could be better not to know.

Zeph watched the sun, sighing. "I should head to my own dorm... for now, at least, I probably shouldn't spend the night in your room. Besides, my brother will be wondering where I am. I'll try not to let him drag me down again, alright?"
He tentatively kissed Jason on the cheek, standing slowly. "After all... we aren't exactly 'together' yet."

Jason felt his whole face heat up when Zeph kissed him. He smiled, a little bashfully, and replied, "Yeah, I guess that's best. Good luck with Notos."

"Thanks, I'm going to need it," he said dryly. He ruffled Jason's hair a little and left, somewhat relucantly. He brushed his hair with his fingers as he left, wishing he could stay and really knowing it was a bad idea. He saw a clock and started running to get to his dorm in time.

((Continuing "Me and My Shadow" ))
Zephyros carefully put Jason's art supplies on his desk, already feeling his eyes fill with tears again. His chest ached horribly, as did his head. Holding back the tears made him feel like he was going to be sick, but he didn't like the pain Jason had had in his voice in the courtyard. He put his hands on the desk, trying to stop the tears and the sobs he could feel trying to come back. His shoulders shook with the effort, and he almost felt as though he was leaving fingerprints in the wood. The sick feeling grew, but he refused to give in.

Jason pulled Zeph gently away from the desk and sat him down on the bed, sitting beside him and pulling him close.
"Please tell me what's wrong," he urged quietly.

Zephyros choked and started crying again, burying his face into Jason's shoulder. For a while he couldn't speak, and had to struggle to pull in enough breath for the next round of sobs. His body continued to tremble even as the worst of the tears were gone, and he just stayed as he was, his hand clutching at Jason's shirt.
"I-I thought I-I h-had sc-scared you off," he whimpered, beginning to hiccup. "I th-thought my t-temper h-had made you ch-change y-your mind."

"Oh, Zeph..." Jason reached up and wiped away Zeph's tears, then cupped his face in his hands and looked into his eyes. "You think I'm going to leave you because you got angry at some jerk who insulted us? I was angry too. I wanted to hurt him just as much as you did. I might have if you hadn't held me back."

"I thought -yyou were go-going to leave me beca-because I al-almost killed him... A-And I r-ruined your paint-painting and I st-started th-the f-fight in the f-first pl-place... and and..." his voice wavered and he closed his eyes, tears sliding down his face again. He couldn't help it; Jason was the only thing he had to distract him from Notos' obsession, the only reason he wasn't giving in completely to the same emotions. Without him... Zeph wasn't sure what he would do.

"It's just a painting. I can do a dozen more. It wasn't finished anyway. It's okay." Jason continued quietly drying Zeph's eyes, even though the tears kept coming. "Do you need a glass of water or something?"

Zeph nodded a little, hiccuping quietly. It was starting to hurt, which at the moment just brought more tears to his eyes. He couldn't help it... his chest still hurt so badly, and he was so scared Jason was only saying these things to make him feel better and was going to leave him once he'd recovered anyway. His body continued to tremble and he couldn't seem to stop it.

"I'll be right back." Jason picked up a clean, empty glass from his desk and slipped into the bathroom; he filled the from the sink and, coming quickly back to Zeph, pressed it into his hands. Seating himself again, Jason watched Zeph with no attempts to hide his concern.

Zephyros had to hold it with both hands as he held it to his lips, slowly drinking it. He hiccuped and choked, almost dropping the glass and spitting out what was in his mouth. Coughing for a moment, he managed to clear his throat and drank a little bit more. He looked for somewhere to put the glass, wiping his tears on his shoulder. Not wanting Jason to worry... or stay with him just because he was so distraught, he struggled to get his emotions under control, at least long enough to let Jason think he was okay before going to his own dorm and locking the door. Notos was busy anyway and he had a key.

Jason tenderly wiped a drop of water from Zeph's chin, hugging him and rubbing his back again to try and stop Zeph's trembling. "If you need anything else, just tell me, okay?"

Zephyros just leaned against him, closing his eyes. His plan wasn't working; he couldn't stop his shaking, or the tightness in his chest and stomach. Tears were still lurking just short of being in his eyes and his breath was still coming in tight little gasps as he kept the tears back. And he was still hiccuping, which hurt. A lot. At least he wasn't crying any more.
Maybe I can't hide how I'm feeling because I'm certain Jason's just saying these things to make me feel better... he's not the sort to cause someone pain if he can avoid it... he thought, tensing worse. It was a good thing he hadn't eaten much or he might have been throwing up by now.
