34. “Is there a reason you’re naked in my bed?” [any LoT Pair]
“Is there a reasonyou’re naked in my bed?”
Of all the people on theteam Ray knows could potentially end up naked and in his bed, he never thoughtit would be Jax. Not that he has a problem with it, ‘cause he doesn’t.
Ray is just confused andconcerned for Jax’s wellbeing.
“It’s all Grey’s fault.”
Jax continues to lie onhis stomach with his face buried in Ray’s pillow.
Shifting slightly, Raytries to look anywhere but at Jax in his bed, naked – so he can keep his cool.
“I wasn’t about to hideout in Mick or Sara’s rooms.”
Ray realizes that hedoes have a point especially about Sara. No one goes into Sara’s room withoutpermission ever since Nate accidentally did and he claims he’s never been thesame. Though, Ray has more sense and faith in Sara than to believe Natecompletely.
“Fair point. You need meto get you clothes or would you rather borrow mine?”
Jax turns over to faceRay then smirks.
“Why? You don’t like melike this?”
Ray tries to saysomething but nothing comes out of his mouth.
Clearly, there was moreto Jefferson Jackson than meets the eye.
“Are you planning tostay here then?”
Placing his arms behindhis head as he lays on his back, Jax grins.
“Yeah, I think I will.Your room is probably a good place to lay low until the embarrassment passes.”
Rays shrugs, it would benice to spend more time with Jax.
“So what actually didMartin do that ended up with you naked in my bed?”
Jax sighs.
“Let’s just say, weshould pay more attention to where we are when we separate especially whenwe’ve been using our powers.”
“Your clothes caught onfire didn’t they and you had to remove them before you were burned.”
“Yeah. Grey escaped theembarrassment too.”
A thought suddenly occursto Ray as he leans against his desk.
“There are several otherrooms in-between the entrance to the Waverider and my room.”
Jax refuses to look atRay or explain causing him to laugh lightly.
“Move over at least. Iwas planning to nap and you’re not going to change that.”
Jax does as told so heends up laying between Ray and the wall. Then Ray makes himself comfortable onthe bed.
“Gideon, please closethe door and turn off the lights. Only wake us up if there’s a mission or itstime to eat.”
“Of course, Dr. Palmer.”
The lights shut off thesame moment the door closes.
“Are you alright withthis, Jax?”
“Yeah, dude. It means Imiss out on a lecture from Grey. I could use the nap.”
They settle in for theirnap, neither man feeling uncomfortable with the situation.
This isn’t how either ofthem plan to spend the rest of their or at least, a good portion but it works.
After all, there issomething comforting about sleeping next to someone – naked or not.
