James raised an eyebrow, "You have other plans?" he asked.

"I don't know if I'm up for it," Yue clarified. She still seemed afraid that Dewei and Long were still around.

James rolled his eyes, "We don't have to leave the resort," he clarified.

Yue raised an eyebrow. She knew James didn't like being cooped up here.

"I like you," James repeated with a shrug.

Yue still seemed doubtful. But all the Neonates were here. And they seemed to want to keep her around for now.

She didn't say anything, but it wasn't a no.

James smiled a little bigger as he leaned in to kiss Yue's cheek.

Yue let him. She still had her hand on his arm.

"You're beautiful," he whispered in her ear, "and not just genetically." He put a hand on top of her hand.

Yue slowly looked up at James like that was what she had been waiting to hear.

James blinked and cupped her chin with his free hand, "Anyone can be genetically beautiful, you're really something special when you let yourself be you," he smiled, "The sparky, snarky, firework Ming Yue. That's who I've fallen for."

For a second it looked like she might start crying again, but she stopped herself.

"Ah, stop that," James complained as he tugged on one of her ears.

Yue swatted James' hand away, irritated. Then she flicked his nose in retaliation.

James chuckled a little before tickling her side a bit.

"Stop it," Yue told James, knocking his hand away without laughing.

"Fine, fine," James relented, removing his hand and sitting back with a yawn. "But c'mon, let's get you dried off," he stated, tossing the towel back on her head.

Yue took the towel and started drying off her own hair.

James sneezed, grabbing a towel for himself as he started to strip.

When Yue started figuring that out, she got up to leave.

James followed her out with another yawn.

"Stay in there," Yue instructed as she started to close the bathroom door behind her.

James blinked at the closed door before sighing and finishing drying himself off.

Yue didn't ever come to fetch him out.

So after a decent about of time, James stepped out.

Yue had changed into some dry sweats and a t-shirt. She was currently braiding her hair for bed.

James plopped down onto Yue's bed.

"Don't get my bed wet," Yue scolded James.

James stuck out his tongue a little as he laid down.

"Get up," she told him as she finished braiding her hair.

James whined a little.

"Up," she repeated.

James sat up, pouting at Yue.

Yue didn't let James' pouting sway her. "No," she told him simply.

"I won't do anything... I'm tired," he replied, still whining a little, "I carried you for so long..."

"Sleep in your own room," she told him, not budging.

James sighed and stood with a groan, "Mmkay... g'night, sweetheart," he stated as he started for the door.

For a second it looked like Yue might stop him. But she didn't. "... Good night," she told him.

"I'll pick you up in the morning," he stated from the doorway, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he shut the door.

Raven groaned a little as the sun started to rise. He so didn't get enough sleep. He tried to pull the thermal blanket over his face, but that just moved the sand so it was more uncomfortable.
