[ The feed clicks on to show Jim in a garage leaning against the open hood of a car, a dark-haired woman wrapped in his arms. Chinning her shoulder, he leans over to press fond, familiar kisses over her jaw and cheek, wherever he can reach. The good humor of his chuckles is echoed as the screen wobbles. ]

Is this thing on? [ The nuzzle to her neck is playful, as punishments go, for distracting him. Hi, City. ] Hey, this is Saya. We're, uh ... We're together. Bones, Spock, I want you to meet her tonight at dinner.

[She tips her head, every time he goes for a kiss, to try and catch his mouth, but the truth is she's not trying hard, because she's enjoying the attention. Anyone who knows her, who's seen with, and even who's slept with her knows that this isn't typical behavior.

But then she turns her attention on the camera, because Jim said something and it actually did cut through the haze of the honeymoon.]

It won't take long, I don't think. If that's a concern.

It's not a concern, don't worry! They're nice guys. [ Jim, too, appears a little more smitten than he's been with anyone or anything since he was commissioned for his ship. He squeezes his arms around her waist. ] You can stay as long as you want.

[There's a pause, and the corners of her lips curl up in a smile that is more real than her usual one.]

So dinner - and we'll see how it goes from there.

[She takes a moment, and finally catches Jim's mouth, and there's a kiss, as she reaches over and turns the feed off.]

(OOC: Lovestruck curse! Replies will be coming from both Jim and Saya, who got hit by Stupid Cupid.)

yes.

of course i do.

you're cursed.

i'm aware curses come with a suspension of disbelief clause. So all I want you to do is act like it might be true, for one day. That guy you just met? You don't trust? Those are the only two accuracies in all of this.

if you trust me, pretend that's true. for a day.

are you also saying i shouldn't sleep with him?

babe, I'd prefer it if you left space for the holy spirit between you at all times. but the curse part's more important.

whatever you wouldn't have wanted to do yesterday? stick to that.

i trust you.

i'll give it three days.

[Before she sleeps with him. Which, of course, she won't.]

[If the video link were still running she'd see that slight smile, and how surprised he is to be wearing it.]

one's enough.

but i'll still give you three.

[More than anyone, he knows she doesn't like to go twelve hours without sex, let alone three days]

want to get breakfast tomorrow?

[How casual. But this probably means he thinks he might need a little space at midnight. It's not like he's going to put feelings into words or anything.]

yes.

there's a place up by the beach we went one time for pancakes and john hughes references.

see you then.
