Jett felt like she dreaming when Sage forced her hands under her robe. The skin she was touching felt so soft...

"I want you to touch me"

Heat rushed to Jett's cheeks as her hands squeezed at Sage's hips, "Wh-What?"

Sage looked down a bit and scooted closer to Jett, "Convince me that you aren't going to leave me again"

Because of the sudden proximity, Jett's hands ended up sliding up further. Her hands were just barely under the skin of Sage's breasts, "A-Are you sure?"

Without words, she got up on her knees and untied the knot that held her robe together. The fabric opened and there revealed was Sage's beautiful bare form. Jett gulped and her hands froze at her sides.

"I'm ready.. only if you are" Sage whispered.

Jett thought for a second and decided to block out any worries or concerns she had at that moment. All she cared about was making Sage see that she wasn't going to leave her side anymore. So she leaned up on one elbow and reached with her other hand to pull Sage on top of her.

Sage's lips landed on her, and the moment their lips crashed together they both released a sigh of relief. Sage took Jett's hand and led it toward the valley of her breasts, pressing the palm of her hand there.

Jett smiled when she felt the sound of her heartbeat. The skin was so soft and warm that Jett could get drunk off of just touching it.

"This heart only beats for you, Jett" Sage whispered against her lips.

Jett's eyes softened as she carefully shooed Sage's hand away so that she could boldly cup one of Sage's breasts in her hand.

Sage instantly stifled her moan by biting on her lower lip as Jett played with her chest. She couldn't suppress the groan when Jett's thumb swiped over her already hardened nub. Her hips rocked a bit when both hands were on her chest now.

Jett brought their lips together once more and was delighted to hear Sage's needy moans. As they kissed, it became more frantic and Sage's hip movements were becoming more frequent. Jett slipped gipped the flaps of Sage's robe and slipped it off her shoulders. Once it was off, she threw it on the floor and let her hands trail to Sage's hips.

Her hands gripped Sage's hips to silently ask for permission, though when she looked up she was surprised to see her pouting.

"What's wrong?"

Sage shook her head and tugged at Jett's hoodie, "You're still clothed"

Jett made an 'o' with her mouth and quickly scrambled to get it off, leaving her only in a sports bra and basketball shorts.

"You look like such a stud right now" Sage hummed, reaching at under Jett's arms to pull her sports bra over her head. Once it was off, she flicked it somewhere and leaned down to press small wet kisses to her stomach.

"S-Sage" Jett whined.

Sage let her tongue travel up from her navel to the area between her breasts. The wet streaks left Jett shivering as she clutched the back of Sage tightly. She was starting to get impatient since Sage seemed to be taking her sweet time. She didn't want to use her words so she bucked her hips up a little.

"I know" Sage mumbled, finally giving into Jett's innocent pleads. She took a deep breath, circled her mouth around Jett's areola, and lightly brushed her tongue over the nipple. Jett whined and slapped a hand over her mouth to suppress any embarrassing noises that kept coming out.

Sage wasn't happy by that at all and stopped her motions. She gripped Jett's arm and pulled her hand away, "I want to hear you"

Jett frowned, "B-But- It's embarrassing"

"No, it's not, I love the sounds you make. They're cute"

Jett wanted to protest but she told herself that she would do anything that Sage wanted. Even if it meant stepping out of her comfort zone for a little. So in the end, she decided to drop her hand at her side and let whatever moans or groans come out.

Sage smiled and returned to her actions, gently biting and sucking now. Jett's other breast seemed to be feeling lonely so Sage brought her free hand and squeezed softly.

"Fuck" Jett muttered under her breath. The air around them was thick and the pleasurable emotions Jett was feeling were starting to get overwhelming.

Jett's breathing picked up as she pushed at Sage's head, "O-Okay"

"Endure it a little longer" Sage pleaded, giving her other breast more attention by copying what she did at her other breast. But instead, this time her sucking became harsher as her hand trailed down Jett's toned abdomen.

The tips of Sage's fingers brushed against the clenched muscles, "You're tense"

Jett's eyes opened when she realized Sage wasn't showing any more attention to her breasts, "O-Oh, yeah. It is my first time after all"

Sage's heart soared at the feeling of being Jett's first time for this. She wanted to make sure this was a good memory for her and that her first was the best it could be. Her hand pressed flatly against Jett's stomach, "And you're sure you're ready? I don't want you to think I'm forcing you into this"

Jett smiled and reached down to rub at Sage's jaw, "I want this as much as you do"

Sage couldn't help but feel giddy at her words as she slid her body against Jett's. Her breasts pushed against Jett's as they both moaned at the contact, "Good.. because I want to spend this whole night with you"

~~

Sage was now on her back, waiting for Jett to start trailing her hand down to the area she needed to be touched the most. Her hips bucked as Jett's warm hand felt like it was moving at the slowest rate possible.

She looked down to see that Jett's hand now reached the hem of her panties. She heard Jett ask, "Is this okay?"

"Yes"

Jett gulped and concentrated on pulling her panties down and was surprised to see Sage's thighs slick with juice. Sage could feel Jett staring at her and she wiggled in embarrassment, "Hurry.. please"

Jett snapped out of it and looked at Sage nervously, "H-How do I?"

Sage wished that Jett was more experienced but this was new for her so she kept herself from getting too grumpy. She huffed quietly and reached down to press Jett's two fingers against her throbbing center.

Jett quickly caught on and applied more pressure as she watched Sage's hips buck, "Ngh, Jett.."

Her blush grew when Sage began moaning her name constantly. She eyed Sage's entrance and slowly began to insert a single finger. She stopped in an instant when she heard Sage hiss, but was rewarded with a long moan right after.

"Keep going" Sage reassured, pressing her hips back to push Jett's finger in further.

Jett nodded and decided to tease a second finger to see if Sage wanted another one, "Good?"

"God, your finger feels so good. Add another one" Sage whimpered, moving her hips in sync with Jett's thrusting hand.

"You feel so tight" Jett mumbled, eyeing the swollen clit that was underneath the hood. She decided to take the risk of leaning down to press a light kiss on the red skin. Sage's hips jerked harshly at the kiss.

"Mmh... Do that again, but harder" Sage pleaded in hopes of getting more attention at the upper area of her center.

Jett leaned back down to press her tongue flatly against the swollen clit that pounded against her tongue. Her mouth surrounded it and sucked lightly, she could tell her efforts were doing good because Sage's moans were getting louder and the grip on her hair was getting tighter.

Sage knew she wasn't going to last long and it was especially because of the combination of Jett's deft fingers and smooth tongue moving against her clit. All the emotions were getting sage riled up and eventually, she let loose.

She loud out muffled screams into her pillow and raised her hips to meet Jett's fingers as her release coated Jett's hand and lower chin. Jett took a breath and slowly took her fingers out of Sage. She shivered at the sudden action and gripped Jett's nape to pull her in for a needy kiss.

Sage could taste herself on Jett's tongue but didn't mind that much because the taste of Jett still lingered as she devoured her mouth with her tongue. Their tongues brushed together as Jett's pelvis made contact with Sage's.

"Was that good?" Jett asked shyly.

Sage giggled, "It was more than better"

Jett smiled proudly and nuzzled the column of Sage's neck. She was convinced they were done since Sage seemed satisfied, but she jumped a little when she felt Sage's hand slip into the front of her shorts.

She planted her hand beside either side of Sage's head and stared at her, "Y-You're not finished?"

Sage shook her head, "I haven't returned the favor"

"It's okay, you don't need to...Ohh, wow" Jett started but was cut off when she felt an overwhelming sensation coming from her lower area. Sage's fingers pressed against her clit that was being covered by the fabric of her underwear.

"Please?"

Jett sighed and gave in, "How could I say no to that"

~~

Jett huffed as she released the final bit of her climax. Sage's fingers worked so quickly and the way she moved her tongue made it hard for Jett to keep herself from coming so fast. Though, she eventually couldn't hold herself back and let the wave of arousal take over her.

Sage wiped her mouth and slumped against Jett, "That was amazing"

"Yeah, who knew tonight was going to end up this way. We haven't even showered together, yet!" Jett laughed.

She found it ironic they had a conversation a couple of days ago about having sex and claiming they wouldn't do it unless they shared a deeper connection. Though, nothing ever goes as planned when it comes to being with Sage.

Sage rubbed a hand through her sweaty locks, "I think I might need to use another shower. But I'm worn out, so let's take one together in the morning"

"R-Really?"

Sage titled her head, "Why wouldn't we?"

"I-It's just we never did it before and-"

"We just had sex, I think taking a shower together isn't going to that bad"

Jett thought about it for a moment and nodded, "Oh.. you're right. Sorry, my brain feels like the size of a pea right now"

Sage laughed and pressed her forehead to the side of Jett's head, pressing a soft kiss to the skin behind Jett's ear, "Thank you for tonight"

"No... thank you. But, I hope from this, you'll see that I won't ever leave you willingly anymore. I'm past that" Jett reassured, and couldn't suppress the shiver from Sage's wet kiss behind her earlobe

Sage's heart felt complete as she pulled the covers over both of them and cuddled into Jett's body even though their bodies were still drenched in sweat.

"I believe you" Sage whispered as she went to reach behind Jett to turn off the light but stopped when she saw Jett's eye release a tear.

She instantly slipped into comfort mode as she caressed Jett's cheek, "What's wrong?"

Jett wiped at her tears and hiccuped softly, "I-.. I love you, Sage. And, I'm sorry that you have to fall in love with someone like me"

.

Sage's heart seized in her chest as she ran her hand through Jett's hair, "Why are you sorry?"

"I-It's just, I feel like I constantly bring you fear and you can't ever trust me because you think I'll do something stupid like dying or leaving you" She cried.

Sage's eyes softened as she saw Jett's fist pound into the bed mattress weakly, "Despite all of that Jett, you're still an amazing person. Yes, you have flaws but that doesn't change the love I have for you"

Jett looked a bit shocked by Sage's words, "Are you saying..?"

Jett watched Sage take a deep breath and put on the most genuine smile she has ever seen.

"I love you too"

~~

"Ah! that tickles" Jett whined as Viper continued to rub specific alcohol on her arm to prepare her for transfusion.

Viper had managed to calibrate- with the help of Cypher, a tool to insert Jett's Radianite without having to put it at the core near her heart. That method would be painful for Jett and it took Sage a lot of convincing to help them create a better way for Jett.

Viper rolled her eyes, "We're going to be here forever if you don't stay still"

Jett laughed when she felt the tool buzz at her arm as she wiggled in her seat. Viper by some miracle was able to get all the alcohol on as she reached for the tool. Instead of using the screwdriver Hench had, they were able to turn Jett's radianite into liquid form so that it could be injected into her veins.

Sage chewed on her fingernails as she watched Viper approach Jett, with the fairly large needle, "Are you sure this is safe?"

"We won't know till we try" Viper mumbled but was surprised when she felt Sage's hand grip Viper's wrist, "I- I mean, Cypher and I have been working on this non-stop for a week so I'm sure that if anything goes wrong then it probably won't be harmful to Jett"

Jett felt giddy as she waited for the needle to be inserted, "Come on, let's get this over with!"

Sage was reluctant to let Viper go, but it made her let go and let Viper take the wheel when she stared into her reassuring eyes.

"Okay, you might feel slight discomfort" Viper warned, pressing the needle into one of Jett's veins.

Jett jumped a bit and gritted her teeth. It wasn't as bad as the pain she felt in the past but she wasn't a fan of shots overall. She felt Sage's hand caress her tense arm and she relaxed a bit as she watched the drug be administrated.

Viper carefully took the needle and watched for any signs of discomfort, "Anything-"

Viper wasn't able to finish her sentence because out of nowhere, Jett's body flung forward with her dash and Jett crashed into one of Viper's tables. Sage sprinted over to Jett who was groaning on the ground.

"Jett! Are you okay?" Sage asked with worry.

Jett rubbed the bump on her head and wiggled her hands to see a little gust of wind coming from them. She jumped up and smiled, "It's back! I have my abilities back"

"I can see that" Viper grumbled, picking up all the items that fell onto the floor from Jett's sudden dash.

Jett giggled sheepishly as she went to help Viper pick her stuff up, "Thanks Viper! I didn't think you'd be able to pull it off"

"Are you underestimating me?"

Jett froze and shook her head quickly, "No! Of course not, but really. Thank you, it means a lot to me that you did this"

"You should be thanking her," Viper said while pointing to Sage, "She was the one who convinced us all week to find a better and less painful method for you"

Jett hopped over to Sage and threw her arms around her, "Thank you, Sage!"

Sage blushed, "It was only an idea. But other than that, how do you feel right now?"

"I... I feel whole again"

~~

Jett looked around her new room that was provided by Brimstone. It looked like he wasn't as angry as before, but she was still stuck on cleaning duty with Sage.

There was still a lot of stuff that needed to be unboxed but she decided to leave that for another day. She flopped onto her bed and watched Sage walk in with the last box.

"Are you sure you don't want to share rooms?" Sage offered.

Jett shook her head, "No, It's okay. I think it's good to be in different rooms for a little while. Not that I don't want to spend time in your room! It'll just be better for our dating experience and- It's not like we live far away"

Sage smiled, "It's okay, I know what you mean. But.. I wanted to give you something"

Jett sat up with curiosity as Sage sat down next to her. She reached into her robe and pulled out the picture frame that used to be on her nightstand. Sage looked at it for a few seconds then handed it to Jett.

"Oh wow..freshman year of the academy. Look how young we look!" Jett laughed, running her hand over the smooth glass frame, "I can't believe you kept it"

"Of course, I kept it. It's one of the things I always cherished when I left the academy. And..to this day is still one of my most important possessions. But, I wanted to give it to you because I think you deserve to have it" Sage explained.

Jett wanted to cry but she wanted to stay strong at this moment, "Thank you, It really means a lot to me"

"You don't have to thank me"

They stared at each other in comfortable silence but Sage was surprised when she saw Jett suddenly jump up and place the picture frame proudly on one of her shelves.

She turned around and smiled, "I love you"

Sage blushed at the sudden words and looked down, "I- I love you too. And.. Jett?"

Jett was in the middle of grabbing a bag of cookies from one of the boxes and eventually turned around to face Sage, "Yeah?"

"I'm really glad you came back to me," Sage said while holding her arms out.

Jett's eyes watered a bit as she ran into Sage's warm and safe embrace. She would never make the same mistake she did in the past because it wasn't worth causing them both unwanted pain. And it was because of Sage that Jett was now the happiest she could be.

"I am too"
