iamthefirechild<\/a> said: Summer jerked, looking around and then actually looking at him. It \/sounded\/ like Jarvis, but \u2026 her mouth fell open. \u201cLook at you!\u201d she exclaimed. \u201cJarvis! \/Look\/ at you! Oh my god! But you\u2019re so \u2026 wow.\u201d She shook her head, and repeated, \u201c\/Wow\/.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Jarvis offered her a look that was equal parts sheepish and pleased, ducking his head slightly.\u00a0 \u201cA magic anon,\u201d he explained after a moment.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019m\u2026not entirely certain what to do with myself like this.\u201d\u00a0 \u2018Perplexed.\u2019\u00a0 That was a new one.
<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cYou are gorgeous, Jarvis!\u201d She circled him, looking up and down, vastly admiring. Gravely, but not concealing the twinkle in her eyes, Summer added, \u201cThe universe really shouldn\u2019t answer my idle wishes like this; it\u2019s not right. I\u2019m supposed to be in trouble here, not being rewarded.\u201d Completing her circuit, she nodded, firmly. \u201cI can think of many things to do with you like this.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Jarvis turned faintly pink as Summer circled him, and he folded his arms over his chest and settled a slightly indignant look on her.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019m quite certain that\u2019s not entirely appropriate, Miss Summer,\u201d he replied, confusedly entertained and mildly scandalized.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cWhy, Jarvis! What in the world are you thinking? \/I\/ was thinking of feeding you; you\u2019re bone-thin and the experience will be good for you.\u201d A wicked grin lit her face. \u201cNow, if you\u2019d \/like\/ some not entirely appropriate experiences, I\u2019d be happy to provide.\u201d Summer bit her lip, fluttering her eyelashes at Jarvis. \u201cAm I allowed upstairs, or did you text me just so I would come admire your lovely human self?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Jarvis rolled his eyes.\u00a0 \u201cHow could I have ever come to such a conclusion?\u201d he wondered dryly.\u00a0 He paused, and that was certainly a strange experience.\u00a0 He\u2019d never had to gather his thoughts before (did computers even have thoughts?).\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019m not certain if Mr. Stark wants company at the moment.\u00a0 I texted you to alert you to his arrival, as I told you I would.\u00a0 You showed up of your own accord, as you tend to.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Some of the light went out of her face, and her shoulders went up. “I … thought I’d offer him a chance to shout at me. Or whatever he likes. It can’t be any worse than what I’ve said to myself the last few days.” The loss of animation in her face allowed Jarvis to see the dark circles under her eyes, vestiges of three near-sleepless nights. “But if you say not … I’ll just.” Summer didn’t finish the sentence. Impulsively, she hugged Jarvis, ducking her head heard into his chest. “He’ll be okay, won’t he? Even if he doesn’t forgive me.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
