Jay laughed a little; you could even tell he was nervous by the sound of his laughter. He hugged Nicole back, giving her a little kiss on the top of the head, and then his hand found her's. "C'mon, let's go siddown or somethin'," he said, pulling away from their hug. The only thing left of it was that he was holding her hand.

( Not a typo. That's just how people say it at times. )

( I would've figured that outtt. You don't make typosss. Lolol. But forsrs. )

Nicole grinned a bit, her and, in turn, his hand swaying back and forth. "It's kinda funny," She paused for a moment, glancing up at him before returning her gaze to the floor. "you get so nervous around him. It's cute." When they reached the couch, she stood for a minuite,w aiting for him to sit first.

( xD I do, sometimes. )

Jay snorted softly. "Oh, it's cute now?" he asked, sitting down and pulling Nicole with him. He sat her down in his lap, and placed one hand on the side of her face so he could pull her down and give her a little kiss. "I thought it wasn't cute to be scared of your girlfriend's older brother? At least, it isn't between guys."

( I've never seen you make a typo. ;n; Yes, I almost just made two typos this sentance. .. Three. )

Nicole shrugged, "I dunno, it just seems cute to me." She said, grinning widely. "Maybe because I'm not your girlfriend. And, I'm deffinatly am not a guy." She chuckled, leaning in to kiss him again when she heard a disguisted noise.

"Get a room." Nicole heard her brother mumble. Of course, she retorted. "Get a life," She breathed, pausing for a moment. "just leave us alone."

( If you notice them, you're supposed to correct them. xD
And, you most certainly have. )

Jay was about to make a cute remark when Nicole commented on her not being a guy. His body stiffened at that, and was almost relieved when Nicole's brother came into the room. He had such an urge to flip the other off, but only narrowed his eyes instead. Giving your fiancee's brother the finger was not a good idea.

( FFFF. It took me almost a year to spell 'else' right. I'm not going to know how to correct your typos, LOLOL. <333 )
( You're right, Jay. Gotta wait 'till you're married. Then, go aheaddd. Give him the fingerr. ;D )
( By the way, yes, that totally works. xD I've done it before. "Get a room. >U" "Get a life. >U" )
( THIS IS THE LAST OOC I SWAREE. FDNIOSWNAVLDS
And this. Is where they fightttt. 8D )

When Nathan didn't leave but glared at Jay instead, Nicole got off of Jay's lap and stood up. No, she wasn't much of a threat, but she loved Jay more then she loved her brother, she had to stick up for that/him, because he probably wouldn't, he was smarter then that. She raised her eyebrows at him, "Seriously, just leave, Nathan." She was never good at fighting with her family.

He simply shook his head, "This is my house, too. I don't have to leave." he said simply. Nicole's first thought was, unfourchanatly, but that wasn't a good enough retort. "Don't you have a girlfriend you can bug instead?" She rolled her eyes.

She clenched her jaw when he tried to challenge her by walking around the couch and sitting near Jay. Really? Nicole hissed in her head. How immature. "No," He shrugged, slouching on the couch. "she broke up with me." He explained. Why wasn't he as nervous as he was? Oh, that's right, because he wasn't afraid Jay would get involved. If he did, she would have to choose between them. Of course, she would choose Jay. But she wouldn't want to come back to her house then. Ever, probably.

"Smart girl," Nicole mumbled, and was about to say something else when Nathan stood up and grabbed her by the arm, catching her off guard. She tried to grin at him, but she terrified. She knew if she said something wrong, he would hit her. His grip was tight, and it hurt. "Nathan, don't touch me." Nicole breathed, not looking at him. Now, she was worried Jay would get involved, but she still didn't look at him either.

( OHMYGOD.
BRB. GETTING NEW THUMBS. MINE DIED. )

( Jay will NEVER give him the finger.
Becausethat'sjustwrong.
*unfortunately
Fail. )

When Nicole got off his lap, Jay sat patiently. He was never one to get involved in fights between siblings, mostly because they scared him. They were just scary; he hated getting so angry with someone he loved. Often, when he fought with Jonah, he got to a point where he got physical. Although Jonah was stronger than him, that they were both sure of, Jonah never fought back. Jonah never fought back, and neither did Kurt, even though they were both clearly way past Jay's match. He never did know the reasons why they didn't fight back.

Sitting on the couch, hands clenched into tight fists, Jay couldn't help remembering all the things he'd said to hurt both Jonah and Kurt; they stabbed like knives through his heart, just knowing that he'd been the one to say those horrible things. It just seemed like his brain loved to mess with anger he couldn't control around those two, like it was funny.

It wasn't funny. Jay sat with his head bent down, knuckles bone white and aching, yet not quite hurting, as if he'd had his hands in cold water for a while. His muscles were contracted, as if he were about to jump up. The moment he did snap, though, was when he last heard Nicole's voice.

Then he was on his feet, both hands on either Nathan's or Nicole's arm. Jay ripped them away from each other, pushing Nicole out of the way and into safety. When that was done, he slammed both fists against Nathan's chest, holding him against a wall. "You can't touch her like that." he growled in a shaking voice.

( eue Thankyou.
My uncle had a pissy fit when I posted it on some website with the "f-bomb" included. What the f-bomb.
And. FFFF. I don't know if you'll see this by tomorow, but I forgot my phone at school, so. ;n; )
( You can't touch her like that. >U .. In BBEE- you know, you get it. eue )

Nicole was shaking, too, but out of fear, not anger. She didn't want her brother and her fiancee to fight. She ran her fingers though her hair, clutching the back of her head and thinking it over with a shakey sigh. The was really nothing she could do except for walk over, pull on Jay's sleeve, and wimper, so she did.

Nathan's eyes, which were glaring into Jay's (Is that possible? ;o), didn't show a single trace of fear. He pushed against Jay's chest. "I can do what I want." He growled back.

( Ohhh. ;n; Nuuuu.
I've done that before, I think. o___o And I totally panicked.
My brother told me to put on a sweater. He said, "I don't like seeing your boobs hanging out all over the place." I laughed and said, "Well, I don't have a sweater, can I borrow one of yours?" "Yeah, wear that big huge grey sweater that's on the couch." he told me. I couldn't find it at first, so he called me a fool (I laughed, of course xD), and now I'm wearing a huge-*censored* sweater.
And, yes, it is possible. )

Jay ignored Nicole's whimper, instead shrugging her off. "You think just because you're stronger you can do whatever you want?" he asked, glaring right back. "Because you're older? Well, you can't," He had grabbed hold of Nathan's shirt now, and he had pulled him close and then smacked him back against the wall with each stressed word. "You can't, you dick."

( I didn't freak outtt, but I was like, ';n; I'm gonna miss Genesis.'
And. eue Your brother's cool. )
( eue I gave Draco a cookie over MSN. )

Sure, Jay shrugging her off like that was aggravating, but she was still going to try and break up the fight. That's what it was; a fight. Her fiancee had her brother pinned against a wall,  looking like he was going to snap and kill him.. or something.

Nathan struggled for a bit before pushing Jay back a bit, but not much. They were about the same size, so atleast if they were going to fight, it would be even. He knew it was wrong that he had grabbed Nicole like that, but he wasn't going to apoligize. "I can." He said simply, and then in a sarcastic tone, his eyes narrowed, he asked, "Ey, is she really worth it?"

Of course, that pissed Nicole off, so she suddenly snapped, "Nathan! You're being-" but before she could say 'a total *censored*' he cut her off, "Stay out of it."

Normally, Nicole would've shrugged it off, but she was already mad so that just added to it. This was their fight, anyway. "No," Nicole hissed, "I don't want your paws on my fiancee." She was to pissed to care about what she had said. "I don't even want you near the people I love."

Nathan just glared at her, "So now you don't love me?" Nicole just shook her head.

"Not as much as I love Jay."

( eue )

( *fiance
With the little thingy over the e, but I'm lazy. xD
Fiancee is for chicks.
Also, I know he is. c: Over lunch, we discussed whether or not he could kick our social studies teacher's *censored*. Bri said he could, and said, "Hiram is sooo hot."
;n; I missed you tooo. )

Jay was practically baring his teeth at Nathan now, holding tight to the fabric of the other's shirt. "Of course she's worth it!" he shouted. He had a horrible urge to knee Nathan in the crotch, but that would not only be a cheap shot, but it was pretty much a mutual agreement in fights between guys to never go for that.

He could feel adrenaline in his veins, making his hands shake with the energy he got from it. Rather than actually paying attention to Nathan and Nicole's conversation, he just glared, teeth clenched, heart pounding in his ears as if he'd just come back from running. Of course, something had to snap him out of his trance. Something always did.

And it made him let go of Nathan. "I never wonder why," he started, taking a step back, away from Nathan. "I love her." With that, he lifted a tight fist, hearing his bones pop as he did, and then swung. It didn't hit Nathan, though; it hit the wall next to his head. His fist shook against it. "Say something," he said, tilting his chin up a bit. "I dare you. Piss me off, do it. Make me even more angry than I already am."

( ;n; Durhur. )

Nicole wanted to yell and scream, tell them to stop. But, she didn't want to annoy Jay when he was pissed like this. She pretty much gave up, sitting on the couch and buring her face in a pillow.

Nathan almost jumped when Jay's hand hit the wall by his head. "What do you want me to say?" Nathan asked, glaring back. "Do you want me to tell you that you're kinda a sl.ut? With that Kurt kid, you know."

When Nathan said that, Nicole did yell ( into the pillow, of course. ).

--Posted from PALM pixi

( Ohmahdamn. )

Jay's eyes widened. He just had to mention Kurt, didn't he? He just had to mention the thing that would piss him off the most, the thing that would make him want to cut someone's throat. "You...you..." At first he couldn't get any words out, jaw dropped and mind gone into shock.

"You *censored*hole!" Jay screamed, and then both of his hands were on Nathan's head, which he promptly dragged down and slammed his knee into. Then he hit Nathan back against the wall and kicked him in the gut. "Don't talk about Kurt! You didn't even know him!" he shouted. "Don't touch Nicole! I'll kill you! Don't..." He swung a clenched fist at Nathan, eyes shut tight.

( eue I like your signature. )

Nathan, now with a cut above his eye, waited for Jay's fist to colide with his jaw before he pulled his fist back, hitting Jay on the side of his neck just below his ear. A crappy shot, but he figured it would be fine.

Nicole, who refused to let them fight once Nathan had gotten a hit in on Jay, accepted the fact that yelling and screaming wouldn't break up the fight. She pushed the pillow aside, quietly walking to the kitchen.

She waited a minuite so it seemed like she was actually eating something, and she grabbed a small knife from the drawer. After she took a towel to bite down on to muffle her scream, she squeezed her eyes shut and sliced a medium sized gash into her palm. Of course, she screamed. It hurt like hell. Automaticly, she took the towel, laying it over her hand and she put pressure on it until blood had soaked through. She then realized just bad it had hurt, and let out a genuine scream. "Jay!" She yelled, throwing the towel aside. If that didn't break up their fight, she'd quit trying.

Nathan, who was about to knee Jay, paused when he heard Nicole scream. Not that he cared, but he was sure Jay did. So if he had just walked off to see what she was yelling about, he wouldn't take anymore punches. It was worth a try.

Jay was more shocked by how Nicole's brother couldn't punch for *censored* than the fact that he had actually been in shock for a moment from the hit. He caught Nathan's wrist, twisted his arm, and cracked his elbow in.  He hadn't even noticed that Nicole had left. How could he, when he was right in the middle of a fight with some guy who hit him in the neck?

His head snapped up at the sound of a cry, though. "Nicole!?" Jay shoved his knee into Nathan's groin, just to get out of the fight. With that done, he jerked away from the other and rushed to where he thought he'd heard his fiancee's voice.

"What the hell!?" Jay took hold of her wrist, holding the fabric tight around it. "Wha-what? What is this?" Already, there were tears in his eyes, stinging and threatening. Jonah did this once, when he was alive. He took a peek under the towel and flinched at the sight. "Nicole..."

( Of course she noticed. xD
Also, my eyes went over the entire post...I saw "SHUTTUP."
And now it's funny. )

Jay's eyes widened, and he took a step back, caught unarmed. Although they'd fought before, he felt as if this was the first time she'd ever snapped at him. He jerked his head to the side, biting his lip and biting back tears, only to flinch at a light touch. Of course, he knew who it was; no one else was in the room. But, he couldn't help flinching.

"I'm-" He was cut off by a sudden apology, which in turn made Jay furrow his brow. His brain wasn't working fast enough to keep up; his thoughts were caught up somewhere else, while his attention was struggling to decide whether to dwell on his thoughts -- the past, the before -- or what was happening at the moment, with Nicole apologizing, her brother cussing in the other room, his head pounding from the stress of the situation.

Actually, he was going to apologize, too, but he was quickly disarmed. Now he stood there, feeling vulnerable, one hand in the air as if he were going to touch Nicole's face, but it stayed there, in the air, without a real purpose anymore.

He automatically reacted, though, to the press of lips against his, and returned the kiss. His hand, which had still been poised in the air, set itself on the side of Nicole's head, pushing under her hair and touching the skin of her cheek lightly. His tongue moved inside Nicole's mouth and his eyes shut tight. This was something he'd done before, but because he was doing it with Nicole, it felt so strange, so new.

( eue I bet. )

Nicole, now with her eyes closed, too, wove her fingers through his hair, her left arm still hanging limp at her side, standing on her toes so she could kiss him; she never minded having to stand on her tip-toes to kiss him, it was worth it. She stayed still for a moment, listening to Jay's breathing and her brother's complaints. She had half expected him to pull away from her and stare at her wide-eyed, so she smiled a bit when he went along with it.

She let her thoughts wander to what had happened in the past two days (starting the morning before, ;n;).

First, she and Jay were /supposed/ to go on a date, but that didn't happen because she had told him she wanted a family and started a fight. A bad situation; her fault. She snapped at her brother, he grabbed her, so Jay got involved and ended up fighting him. A bad situation; her fault. Then, she decided to cut her hand open to get them to stop. What was she thinking, anyway? But now here she was, standing in the middle of the kitchen, tongue-tied with him, and everything was okay, right?

Nicole exhaled sharply through her nose, withdrew her tongue and slowly pulled her lips from his. She pushed her forehead to his, eyes slowly drifting open. "Thanks for protecting me, Jay."
