Chapter 665: VV4, 59 - Riding High and Winding Down

VV4, 59 - Riding High and Winding Down

The airport, like always, was loud as Dylan made his way toward the security line. His friends, and Jack, followed next to him, the latter holding his hand as they meandered. She smiled at him as they walked, and Dylan couldnt help but smile back.

Overall, the small vacation had been good. More than good even, and it pained him that he had to leave. There was so much more he wanted to do with Jack.

This visit was too short, he said with mild grumpiness.

She chuckled, opening her mouth to respond. Unfortunately, Carol got there first.

Oh my gosh hes got it baaaad, she quipped. Watch out, Jack. You know what they say about men who get too clingy.

Jack rolled her eyes and pushed her friend away. Go be annoying somewhere else for a moment.

The gall! Carol joked, doing her best to look offended. The huge smile on her face put any notion of offense out of everyones mind.

Thomas rolled his eyes. Theres a Starbos Coffee over there. Let me get you a drink and well leave them to it.

But Tomcat, we gotta watch their romcom goodbye extravaganza! Carol complained. Though she didnt resist when Thomas grabbed her arm and led her away.

Dylan just shook his head. Carol never tones it down, does she?

Only when shes working, Jack laughed. Trust me, its like culture shock. I actually thought she had a twin when I first saw it.

Dylan let loose an involuntary chortle.

For real! Jack continued. Her face was allJack made a face fit for the sternest of kindergarten teachersand her voice was like a no nonsense lawyer in TV dramas.

I dont believe you, Dylan said. Mostly because there is no way someone like her can make that kind of face.

Right, I promise to get you a video then, Jack answered.

For posteritys sake, Dylan said.

Jack nodded. Yeah. Also because I have to spread the short-circuit mental breakdown that comes from seeing her personality swing.

Well, good to know you wont be bored now that Im leaving, Dylan said.

Is that jealousy, good sir? Jack teased.

More concern, Dylan answered. The life of the party is about to leave. How are you going to get on with your life with me all the way across the country.

Jack laughed. Wow, I didnt expect that level of snark from you. Usually it only comes out with Dr. Zlo.

Well, I learned that you liked a bit of snark, so Dylan trailed.

Jack stepped forward and grabbed his other hand, looping it over the suitcase handle. She looked up at him, her eyes sparkling with teasing mirth. I like more about you than just your snark, you know.

Uh, Dylan said stupidly, unprepared for Jack to get so close.

Uh-huh, she said, moving a closer.

Looking back on it, Dylan wouldnt say he was unprepared for Jack to kiss him, but he certainly would have expected it to happen much further in the future. Which is why he kept mentally kicking himself as he froze in place when their lips touched.

Of all the stupid times to lose his composure, it just had to be there!

Bye, she said with a smile.

Yeah, wow, okay. Yeah, bye, Dylan said, the words falling out of him like stones rolling down a hill. He couldnt stop himself from sounding stupid if he tried.

Jack giggled at his reaction. I take it you enjoyed that.

Best experience of my life to date, Dylan answered.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

She beamed up at him, quickly pulling him into a hug. Dylan returned it, glad for once that the emotional high drowned out his beating heart. It also kept his focus off of how nice she smelled. And how nice the hug felt.

When the next theater season ends, itll be my turn to visit you, Jack said as they broke away.

For sure, Dylan answered, doing his best to keep his words from falling out.

Until then, get ready for some more shenanigans with Ms. Tama, Jack said.

I will, Dylan answered.

Wheres all that wit gone to, Dr. Zlo? Jack teased.

Im afraid you knocked all cognition out of me with that kiss, Dylan answered frankly.

Jack blushed, pushing him away. Alright, get outta here you. And message me when you get back okay?

Ill message you up until the plane takes off, Dylan answered, some of his mental facilities returning. I havent checked messages from anyone during this trip and I just know Rip is going to have sent a bunch of dumb memes.

Honestly, Im kinda wondering if we can even pull it off?

A whole parallel world? A big morality changer switching heroes and villains?

Its a pretty big ask.

JackOLeen:

We can do it.

This is only like, what, two times bigger than the moon mission?

Easy.

Dylan snorted a laugh at the confidence.

Superfan39526:

Yeah, youre right.

Im sure nothing is going to go wrong at any point.

JackOLeen:

Oh, I never said that.

Dylan could practically feel the smug smile from his girlfriend.

JackOLeen:

I just said it would be easy.

I dont know if you know this, but youre actually kinda amazing at thinking on your feet.

So if something goes wrong, Dr. Zlo is going to have some kind of solution.

Or youll have some kind of answer.

Dylan couldnt help but feel a bit embarrassed at the praise. He didnt think he was as good as Jack said, and told her as much.

JackOLeen:

Youre kidding, right?

Werent you the one who totally stopped NOT Superiorman from destroying our death ray?

Superfan39526:

But I wasnt even really trying to stop him. I just didnt want him to get rid of Cass.

JackOLeen:

So? Doesnt mean it wasnt a crazy good improv solution.

You really gotta be better at giving yourself credit mister evil mastermind.

My boyfriend cant be having confidence issues.

Outside the bedroom or in.

Dylan almost choked at the insinuation.

Superfan39526:

Right, Im going to bed.

Sleep well.

JackOLeen:

Ha! Okay then you.

But you might want to get used to the jokes.

More might be coming now that I know I can tease you with them.

Superfan39526:

Please dont.

JackOLeen:

No promises ;)
