Just Us

Ch.1-Don't Be A Stranger

Jason stood on the docks trying to find some reasoning, some meaning to his life. Was there anything that held him there in Port Charles? Besides being there for the Corinthos family, what did he have for himself?

He didn't have a wife, kids, or even a pet. What he had was empty penthouse and a motorcycle. What a way to live Morgan, he told himself.

She had stoof watching him stare off into nowhere. As much as he said he didn't think about things, she now had proof. She decided to make her presence known.

"You shouldn't be out on the docks alone." He said not even turning around to look at her, he just knew it was her.

She sighed, "says who?"

He shrugged, his eyes stayed focused on the water, although he knew she was standing right beside him.

"What ya thinking about?" She asked. Jason was not big on talking but she had to make the effort.

"My life," he told her flatly.

She was kind of shocked to hear that Jason Morgan thought about his life and not one the Corinthos'.

He finally turned to look at her, "Elizabeth, what went wrong with us?"

"Nothing," she answered.

Jason went on," something did, I lied to protect Sonny."

Elizabeth sighed,"I bailed on you when I should have tried to understand why you did what you did."

"So we both messed up." He said.

She only nodded. Now she was in deep thought, Elizabeth missed spending time with Jason. They would always say 'hello' if they say each other at Kelly's or on the docks, but it wasn't the same. They both knew it too.

"I should get going." Elizabeth said.

Jason glanced at his watch, "I'll walk you home, it's dangerous to be alone this late."

"I am fine, I have pepper spray!" She patted her purse letting him know where it was located.

"I'm walking you home." There was not an ounce of expression on his face.

Elizabeth rolled her eyes,"fine since you asked so nicely."

He was going to comment but she began to head up the stairs. He quickly followed.

The walk to Elizabeth's studio was rather silent. Neither knew exactly what to say.

Elizabeth unlocked her door and turned the knob. The door was open but she did not go in.

"Good night Elizabeth," he said as he turned around to walk away.

"Hey Jase?" She called to him.

"Yeah?" He asked.

"Don't be a stranger." She told him, grinning.

"You either," he retorted before disappearing into the night.

Elizabeth smiled, "I won't."

She changed into her pajamas and climbed onto her bed. It wasn't a pillowtop matress, but it was something. As she lay staring up at her ceiling Jason and memories of the two of them began to fill her mind.

Flashback

"Jason, how much do you weigh?"

"Two of you," he answered smartly.

"How much do you think i weigh?" She asked, curious as to what he'd say.

He thought about the question, if he guessed too high she would think he called her fat, if he guessed to low then she would feel fat. He was catching on, finally.

"Jason, how much do you think i weigh?" She asked again, growing more and more impatient.

"Half of me." He answered.

"Oh you!" She jumped on his back trying to choke him.

He flipped her easily onto his brown, leather couch. "Definitely half of me." He repeated, adding a smile this time.

End of Flashback

Elizabeth drifted off to sleep with a smile on her face.

Jason's Penthouse:

Jason slipped a t-shirt over his head before climbing into his king-sized bed. He had once shared the same exact bed with Elizabeth, even nothing happend, it was nice to have her lying in his arms.

Flashback

"Jason, I can go in the guest room."

"No, I want you to stay. If you aren't ready, nothing has to happen."

She kissed his cheek softly, "thanks."

"Goodnight." He kissed her forehead.

Elizabeth layed her head on this bare chest. He wrapped his arms around her waist protectively.

"I could get used to this," she confessed right before she let out a yawn.

"Me too."

"Night Jase," she whispered.

He didn't say anything, a few minutes later he could tell she way asleep by her steady breathing.

He kissed her forehead once again, "I love you."

End of Flashback

Jason fell asleep thinking of Elizabeth.
