Lee was already awake when Jet woke the next morning, curled up next to a window. He hadn't dressed yet. "Hey," Jet said quietly, still wrapped in the drowsy elation of the night before.
"Morning," Lee replied, just as quietly. "Sleep well?"
"Yeah. You?"
He shrugged.
Some of the drowsy elation slipped away at that. Why isn't he as happy as I am? "Lee?"
"Hm?"
"About last night..."
Lee flushed a little, and reached up to return his hair to its usual tail. "Yeah?"
Jet hesitated, fiddling with the end of one of his bandages. "We...well, do you want to...again?"
"We shouldn't've last night. You're hurt."
"I know," Jet said, flushing himself. "I meant...well, maybe not now, but...sometime?"
"...if that's what you want," the younger boy replied.
Jet watched as Lee let go of his hair and it spilled down his back. "I do want. It's just...it's not...done. What we did. Between two boys, I mean. I'm just worried that...if we do it again...and I really want to...well...people might not want to join my army anymore."
Lee looked slightly confused, but he nodded. "Whatever you think is best."
"It's just...I want this...I really do..." Jet fidgeted for a while, trying to come up with a way around this problem. While he thought, Lee uncurled from his position by the window and started to get dressed. Pale, pretty Lee with his long hair and angled face and skinniness...In the right clothes...maybe...
"Could you pretend to be a girl?" Jet asked.
Lee whirled and stared at him. "What?"
"I-I mean, so we can do this. Be together like this. You could pass for a girl, in the right clothes, I could get you a dress, you could braid your hair maybe with some ribbons instead of that tail you always wear it in, maybe we could call you Lei, that's a girl's name and it wouldn't be forever, just 'til we beat the swine and we don't need the army anymore, then you can go back to being a boy and who cares what anyone thinks..." Jet trailed off, aware he was babbling.
Lee was still staring at him, face unreadable, eyes glittering slightly. After a long, awkward moment, he sighed and closed his eyes. "If that's what you want," he whispered.
Jet untangled himself from the blankets, grinning, and went over to hug Lee, and kiss him, a little awkwardly. "I'll get you a dress next time I go into town," he promised. The younger boy nodded, and, after a minute, quietly rested his head on Jet's shoulder.
