Joxer smirked. "It's this guy I know, I trust him completely. He's an authority on pretty girls. I. . .oh, he's me."

Tempe nodded seriously. "If he, er, you, says so, then it must be true."

Then, before she could tell herself she shouldn't, Tempe had climbed over the table and was sitting next to Joxer.

"Hi."

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer gulped out of a sudden attack of nerves.

"Hi," he said. "Was there something wrong with your seat?"

[fatalvoyage.livejournal.com]

Tempe smirked. "Yes. It was too far away from you." Then, realizing what she'd just said, she blushed again, a furious red blush that would make a tomato blush.

"Uh, I'm not sure why I just said that."

Oh, and she really wasn't unconsciously inching closer to him either. That was just a sudden shift in the room's equilibrium. Really.

Joxer smiled at Tempe. "I guess I can have that effect, sometimes."

Somewhere in his skull was a conscience yelling at him. Unfortunately for Joxer, his skull is a very empty place, and it wasn't doing much good.

Tempe smiled back. Apparently he really could have that effect on her. Because this would be the second or third time in 10 minutes that Tempe had lost the thread of their conversation.

Mostly because it all kept coming back to, "Kissing," Tempe said out loud.

She facepalmed. Literally.

At least Joxer has a conscience in there yelling at him, because it seems that Tempe's has gone on vacation. Possibly permanently.

"Yes, I guess you must. Or there's some Fandom weirdness going on here. Which could explain what I'm about to do."

With that, Tempe completely took leave of her senses, and closed the gap between them, kissing Joxer on the lips.

Joxer kissed Tempe back for a brief moment, until amazingly the guilt caught up to him and he pulled back. He rubbed the back of his neck and stared at the ground.

"I. . . I. . . It's not that. . .You're very. . . I have girlfriend," he said.

Tempe blushed, though it would be hard to tell, since she'd buried her face in her hands.

Looking up briefly, she spoke. "I-I-...Me too."

Blushing again, she continued, "I mean, I have a boyfriend. One who would probably go into a jealous rage if he knew about this."

Burying her face in her hands again, she spoke again. "I am so, so sorry, Joxer. I...I don't know what came over me."

Looking up again, she began judging the distance from the table to the door, and just how fast she could make a getaway.

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer gulped at the words 'jealous rage'.

"Hey, nothing happened, right?" he said, nervous. "It'll all be completely okay. We're just good new friends, that's all."

[fatalvoyage.livejournal.com]

"Of course. Absolutely nothing. Our lips just happened to occupy the same coordinates in space, completely by happenstance," Tempe said, nodding nervously. "We could pull it off. If nothing else, we could blame it on the food."

"Friends?" Tempe said incredulously. "You still want to be friends after I tried to kiss you in the dining hall? Right after we met?"

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"I have it on good authority I ended up with my face in Walter's crotch a day or so ago," Joxer said. "Who am I to judge after one kiss?"

[fatalvoyage.livejournal.com]

That remark didn't phase Tempe in the least. Except for the shadow of a smirk that crossed her face.

Still, now would be a good time to be making her exit. While she still had her dignity in tact and all that.

She stood up slowly. "It was really nice meeting you, Joxer. Here's hoping that next time will end a little less awkwardly."

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer nodded. "It was nice meeting you too," he said. "Maybe we can do this again sometime." He coughed. "The meeting. Not the. . .thing that didn't happen."

[fatalvoyage.livejournal.com]

Tempe nodded. "Absolutely. I look forward to seeing you again."

She waved and then ran for the door. Literally.
