Who was to say. She knew of Megamind before moving to Metro City, and Jack was a version of him… or had she heard about another Megamind? There were too many options, too many possibilities, it was dizzying to think over.
“I’m just glad I did that Google search for photographs of Metro City and found your blog.” Jack admits, linking his fingers with hers as he allowed his eyes to momentarily shut. “Best search result ever.”
She giggled, taking it as a great compliment, a first for her, usually shying away and denying it. “Yeah..” She nuzzled him, the energy boost she had gotten earlier wearing off to leave her feeling warm and sleepy, the movement of the bus lulling her while Jack’s presence felt like a blanket wrapped around her.
She wanted to keep watching outside the window, wanted to keep him company during the bus ride, but her mind fuzzed over, taking a light nap against him.
Jack let her sleep, and worked an arm around her shoulders gently, pulling her against him and rested his head against the top of hers. God, he adored her. How had he managed anything without her before? Look at him, on a bus, surrounded by people he didn’t know, going home again for the first time in a year. With his girlfriend. He never thought he’d have one, and yet here she was, in his arms, so beautiful and so wonderful for him.
He let his eyes shut too, lulled to sleep by her presence and the gentle motion of the bus, and is soon fast asleep as well.
