Communication is key?

It had taken them some time to get Bart's hand on the mend. It hadn't taken nearly as much time to get back up to Jenny's room and to privacy. They had been quiet the entire time and the quietness seemed to persist as she closed the door behind her. She smiled weakly at Bart as she walked over to the bed and pulled off her boots.

"Um. Sex? Or talking?"

She gave his hand a gentle squeeze.

"Why not?"

Shrug. "I'm just... I'm not, okay?"

Helpful shrug.

Still trying. It's not easy, though!

"Bart," she says softly and gently. "Please give me a reason?"

"I'm just not, okay? The criminal thing kind of gets in the way."

And obvsly, he never does anything heroic.

Because stopping a war isn't heroic.

Still doubtful, "What criminal thing?"

"Stealing? It's kind of against the law."

...So's other stuff, too, but he won't get into that.

"But you do it to survive," she answers. "I think there's a difference."

Like her commandeering her spaceship.

Again.

She won't lose her temper. She won't lose her temper.

She might whine a little.

"Well?"

This isn't going to work, is it?

"I... don't think you know everything?"

:D?

It isn't.

"Then tell me. Please, Bart? It's the only way I can know."

And somewhere in the couple of months she's known him, Jenny's found herself growing more serious about having Bart in her life than anybody else she knows. Said seriousness shows in her face.

"I can't... I don't know what to say."

:)?

Fine.

"Then I guess I don't have a reason not to believe you a hero."

He knows he isn't.

So that's okay!

She sighs, letting go of his hand and walking back to her bed. Jenny's afraid of crying, too.

All she wants is for him to believe her.

"You okay?"

..So yeah, this thing isn't really easy for both of them.

She shakes her head, biting on her lip.

Quietly, "I meant everything I said downstairs, Bart."

She sighs, glancing downward.

"Teddy and Billy are going to get married someday," she continues quietly. "And I... I really think I want to marry you someday, too. And really make you my family. But I'm so afraid we'll get into another fight because you don't trust me, either."

"I do. I just-"

-have a really hard time with that.

"It isn't easy."

She figured that part out a long time ago. Tears stung her eyes as she looked up at him.

"You've never run from me. That's another thing, Bart. You've never abandoned me and... and I was the one that stormed away during our row, wasn't I? That's something else, I think. Another reason why you're one of the best people I know."
