Theodoric's of York, Tuesday evening

Ivanova hung around outside waiting for Blair to show up. He had wanted a big bang, she was going to give him a big bang. Not dirty. A big bang for which she had actually gone and checked over EarthForce regulations before coming here. Just in case.

Now, he just had to show up and they would . . . big bang.

Not dirty.

[[For Blair, mostly, but open nonetheless.]]

Blair's eyes widened when Ivanova clamped down on his hand. Holy cow, she was strong!

"Breathe! Breathing makes it better!" Blair reached over and laid a hand on her cheek. "Just give it a second."

Ivanova took a few deep breaths, focusing on Blair's face until the nausea passed and she remembered to untangle her hand from his. ". . . whoa," she said finally.

Blair decided that seeing Ivanova hurt was his new least favorite thing. Leaning forward he kissed her forehead. "Yeah, whoa indeed."

Ivanova offered him a smile. It might have been the sudden pain playing with her mind, but she thought she might have caught some of that. "Hey, I'm okay. I've been blown up before, you know."

The piercing guy just gave her a strange look. She ignored him.

"Blown up, faced a giant gremlin, killed zombies and snow monsters and you're still a twinkie." Blair gave her another kiss and smiled. "How's it feel?"

"The kisses make it better," she said with a grin before taking a fortifying breath and sitting up, looking around for her shirt. It was rather chilly in here. "I am not a twinkie," she protested absently.

Blair grabbed her shirt and held it out to her. "Kisses make everything better...twinkie."

Blair waited until she had gotten her arms through the shirt before moving around to stand in front her. "Here, let me help you with the buttons." He moved her fingers away and buttoned the bottom button before looking up at Ivanova. "I don't..you were all hurt...I mean..."

Trailing off he leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers. It was awkard and inexperienced, but Blair put all his feelings for Ivanova into it and he pulled away after a moment, licking his lips slightly and whispering in amazement. "You taste good."

Ivanova's eyes had widened when he leaned in and then fluttered closed. He wasn't the best adept kisser, but . . . it was still the kind of kiss that made her heart start to pound. And from Blair, of all people.

. . . not that she had minded. No, not at all, really. She swallowed and licked her own lips, smiling almost nervously. "So do you."

Blair blushed and he absently reached out and straightened her shirt. "I...I'm...I..."

He took a breath and looked at her steadily. There was so much running through his brain right now and he didn't know how to explain any of it. You're leaving tomorrow, maybe for good. You're the best friend I've ever had. You're beautiful. I want you to remember me. I couldn't let you leave without kissing you. You taste really good.

"I'm not going to apologize."

Ivanova looked down. After everything she'd said to him, every sexual innuendo and every blatant come on, those small words could make her smile and blush.

"Good," she said. "Because I'm not sorry it happened, either."

She definitely wasn't going to be forgetting it any time soon, either.

Blair nodded. "Are we going to be all weird now? Did..." He paused for a moment. "We're still us?"

Ivanova pulled him into a swift hug as they turned to leave, looping her arm though his. "Yeah, we're still us." A better us. Her lips were still tingling. She looked at him sideways, smirking. "What was going through your head when you decided to kiss me like that?" she asked almost teasingly.

Blair paused a moment and took stock of how her arm felt in his. He was a little embarrassed over the kiss and still sore from the omgpain. But the overwhemling feeling was contented comfort of closeness with his friend. He knew that even if Ivanova left and didn't come back ~~until years later when she was showed up in Cascade~~ that they would always be friends.

"I was thinking how beautiful you were, how amazing it was that you did this for me, how I never wanted you to be hurt." Blair paused and looked at her seriously. "How you're leaving tomorrow. How I may not see you again. How you're the best friend I've ever had."

How was a girl supposed to respond to something like that? It was more than she had gotten from some men who had proposed to her. She leaned in and rested her head against his - he was too short to rest her head on his shoulder without some interesting neck angles - with a pleased smile.

"I think I love you, Blair," she said, and she wasn't even really joking.

Blair smiled and closed his eyes. "I love you too."

He was content to just stand here for a very long time. In fact, standing here with Ivanova until Thursday seemed like a very good idea. He might have said that last part very quietly.

Ivanova thought that this was an excellent idea herself. Which is why she didn't move for a while as the throbbing pain gradually went down. Okay, it might have been more than a while.

Finally she sighed and lifted her head, hating that she was the one to end it. "I should go. Packing . . . and Maia."

Blair snorted. "You're going to pack Maia?"

Ivanova laughed. "I would if I could. But bad things happen with Maia and the station."

"Bad things?" Blair asked. "Oh, can I come visit too?"

"Kidnapped by Drazi and similar misadventures," Ivanova said almost cheerfully. "And you are always welcome on Babylon 5. Bring lots of notebooks."

"Whoa. I'll try to make my trip kidnapping-free." Blair nodded.

"Good," Ivanova grinned. "I'd appreciate that."

Blair sighed a little. "Should I say goodbye now?"

Ivanova shook her head with a smile. "No. You should say 'see ya later'."

"Okay." Blair hugged Ivanova tightly, kissing her cheek. "See ya later, Stella."
