James rolled his eyes.
"And so did I," He grinned mischievously before looking forward, making sure to not accidentally crash into someone.
"We can do both, talk about things and lay beside each other."

Liz smiled, letting out a small giggle as they reached her room. ”Sounds like a plan to me, darling. It feels like it's been a while since we had some time to ourselves.” she almost smirked.

"Uh… Yes, true, it has been a couple hours." He nodded, glancing around as he breathed the recycled air, he wanted to get out, he really wanted to get outside.

”It feels a little longer than that.” she teased, bringing him towards her bed as she sat down. She gave him a reassuring smile, still holding his hand.
It was much more comfortable looking at James this way… Liz wasn't used to looking down at him.

"Oh really?" He smirked, looking into her eyes.
"Well, I'll make sure that we can be together like this, alone, for a longer time than before." He smiled, glancing at the clock before looking back at Liz.

Liz smiled back, raising a brow. ”Don’t tell me your magic affects time as well.” she teased, before kissing his cheek. ”In all seriousness… Thank you, sweetheart.” she said sincerely, glad that they could be together without any trouble going off around them.

"Hm.. We've got to test that," James chuckled, kissing her cheek.
"No problem Liz.. Thank you too, I really mean it." James said, hugging her tightly as he closed his eyes, just peacefully listening to the breathing of himself, and Hers.

”I love you, James.” she hummed, moving to sit in his lap. Liz wrapped her arms around him, returning the hug and rested against him, just enjoying the quiet peaceful moment.

(Sooo sorry! I was incredibly busy with guests as you know then I had to go to manchester, I'm still there, but I'll message as much as possible!)
"I love you too Liz," James smiled, letting her rest on him as he enjoyed this moment, it was nice.

(It's ok. I hope you had a good time.)

Liz smiled lovingly back at him and rested her head against his shoulder, near his heart. Ever since the scare of him being actually dead in their last dream that it was now very reassuring to have more than one piece of proof that he was alive again.

James smiled softly, he didn't know what to say or do. The dream was a traumatic thing that he couldn't get out of his head. But still, he was glad that it occurred. It did bring the two closer after all, that and he had learnt a couple things about his powers. He wouldn't say what but when the time came, he would use them, only at the risk of his loved ones, and only that.

Liz closed her eyes, feeling safe enough in this moment to let her guard down and relaxed. She didn't know what to say yet either about what had happened… but she was fairly sure that James wasn't ready talk about it yet. So, she would wait and try to figure out a way to tell him what his murderer had told her about the Swarm… Or if she should wait until they were with Captain Blake.

"Hey Liz?" James cleared his throat, glancing at her.
"I suppose we should hide no secrets right? I. I guess I got to tell you something then." He kissed Liz's forehead and sighed.
"I have. Well. Did. Have a fiance. And she's on this ship." He dropped the bomb, closing his eyes in wait for the oncoming fire.

Liz’s eyes snapped open at the news as she sat up quickly and looked at him. ”You have a… You’re…” she started in shock. Of course, someone as amazing as James would be engaged! … and of course, she had to fall for him. “Who is she? How long have you been…” she asked, struggling to get the word out.

"You've met her." He sighed.
"But it ended. I won't say much aside from that. It's a past that I can't forget nor can I just stay silent with it. After all, someday it would've come out to you. So I might as well tell you now." He took a deep breath once more.
"Yes Lieutenant Elizabeth. I was engaged to someone, but that ended so don't worry. I haven't loved two people at once. I am not cheating on anyone. My morals would definitely stop me from doing so." He chuckled.
"Things will not change between us two I hope as well."

“I have… Oh, is she that nurse we talked to earlier?” Liz asked to be sure, considering how familiar they were and that comment about personal feelings. ”Cassandra?” she thought she remembered her name.
She smiled briefly at the comment on his morals. ”Well, I’m thankful that you told me before someone could… and that you're not the cheating type.” she sighed a little. ”I don't want things to change between us either… If you don't want to talk about why your engagement ended, I won't ask but I would like to know how long were you were together and if you feel the same way for me that you did for her?” she said softly, not quite looking at him yet.

"A while, a couple years… But after that it ended. And… No, this is more… It's brighter I guess, it's like i'm in some hypnotisation when I see you." He answered her questions. He didn't say yes or no to the previous question though, leaving it to Liz to figure the identity of that fiance of his.

Liz raised a brow slightly as she noticed he didn't confirm or deny her guess. Maybe Cassandra just knew his ex-fiancee… Or had heard of the engagement. It didn't really matter unless she was the jealous type and confronted Liz about their relationship.
She giggled a little and looked mischievously at James. ”You’re saying I hypnotized you?” she asked with a small smile.

"Uh…" James slightly turned red and meekly replied.
"Perhaps?" He smiled back at her as he inwardly thanked himself for telling her before anything happened that could cause mayhem upon their relationship.

Liz laughed lightly at his shyness and kissed his cheek. ”Well, if I did, it was subconsciously done even though I think most women have that… skill.” she teased softly.

"Maybe but… I think I only noticed you having that skill. Even if it was 'subconsciously'." He chuckled, kissing her back as he hesitantly pulled her in for a hug.
"I don't know when we're leaving for the mission but Liz? If I… Don't pull through then at least bring my body back in one piece yeah?" He smiled.
"And I have full faith in me surviving so don't start lecturing me. I'm just using that big 'if'." He added on.

She giggled a little as they separated from the kiss before sighing softly at his request. ”You will survive… but yeah, of course, I’ll bring you back.” Liz nodded slowly. ”I… I’ll have your back the whole time. It's just an ”if” I don't like thinking about. Especially after…” she closed her eyes, trying to rid the image of his burnt and mangled body from her mind. ”We’ll both make it back. In one piece.” she promised as she held him close.

"Glad I can trust you." He smiled, glancing at the time.
"So did you have any friends on this ship? Or anyone you know outside of a professional relationship?" He changed the topic.

She smiled up at him and shrugged. ”I don't know how many people on this ship consider me a friend.” she admitted. ”I mean, I’m well known but not sure about well liked… Hmmm, there’s Al. Alan, the doctor who checked me out for hitting my head during the crash.”

"Interesting, someone I should be worried about?" He grinned, hugging her once more.
"Well known for what? I don't really get involved with 'ship gossip'." He asked curiously after a few seconds.

Liz shook her head, giggling a little. ”No, I drive him crazy. When he finds out about me being in a serious relationship with you, he's going to want to examine both our heads.” she joked as she nuzzled into his hug.
She sighed at his question. ”I… You know, I have a reputation for being a flirt. Actually, the biggest flirt on the ship. But I'm not promiscuous or a cheater.” she added quickly to assure him.
