I Like Hot Chocolate Too

"You probably shouldn't tell her. It really is okay." He wouldn't look at her and it worried her a bit. "I can do whatever. It doesn't really matter to me, as long as you're not far." Why wouldn't he look at her? She probably shouldn't have even brought it up. It was silly of her. She got up and knelt in front of him, one hand on his knee, the other on his cheek. "Hey," she smiled at him. "I haven't had hot chocolate in seven years. I like hot chocolate, and maybe Neila will like me more if she spends some time with me." She doubted this, but didn't let it show. He needed her and this was something she was actually able to give him... if he was strong for her. She needed him too. She brushed her thumb across his cheek and whispered, "Jasper?" Meeting his eyes she gave him an inquisitive look. "Trust me?"
