Elena cracked open her eyes, groaned, and closed them again. She rolled over in bed slowly, careful not to make her movements too sudden. She reached a hand out, patting around, trying to find her bedside table and her wand, to cast a spell that would ease her intense hangover. Instead, her searching hand encountered something warm. Huh. Had she cast a warming spell on the blanket before passing out or something? She couldn't remember what had happened all that well.. Jasper had been there, and much, much alcohol.. They'd gone to the beach.. And it was hazy from there. She'd remember later, once the hangover backed off. Her hand continued to search, and encountered a- huh, that almost felt like a face.. Elena's eyes snapped open and she yelped, leaping back, and then shut her eyes tightly again, clutching her head and moaning in pain. "Oh, ow, ow, ow.. What..? How did..? We..? Oh, ow.."

Jasper groaned as he woke up. He opened his eyes slowly, feeling someone touching his face, and heard a yelp. When his eyes were fully open, all he saw was pink, and everything came rushing back to him. Well, not everything. He remembered Elena and the bar, Elena and the beach... Elena and her bed. The pain in his head confirmed that he had been drinking, which accounted for the broken memories. He looked around the room and could see their clothes scattered all over. "Oh shit," he mumbled. "Not after drinking...."

All the color drains from Elena's face as she realizes that she's nude, and that Jasper happens to be as well. "Oh my God," she groans, still careful not to talk too loudly or risk a bolt of pain through her head again. "Did we..?"

Jasper nodded slowly. "I'm so sorry that was your first time and that you don't remember it," he said, speaking quickly. "I know girls want their first time to be memorable. I'm sorry I couldn't do that..." He ran his fingers through his hair and looked down. "I'm so sorry, Elena."

Elena waves a hand around vaguely and says, "Just- just hold on a minute, just let me think.." She pauses for a long moment, holding one hand to her head as though holding the pieces of her skull together. Finally she says, "...Well, Chaosti's going to murder me. Actually, he'll probably murder you and then me.." She shook her head, winced at the movement, and stilled again. "Look, don't be sorry, it's not your fault. It takes two to tango. And I'm sure I'll remember it all at some point."

Jasper grimaced when she mentioned Chaosti. He remembered the big guy from the day before. He sat, not wanting to move because of the hangover, and tried to remember anything else from the night before. "I... I think I tried to stop us from doing anything. But then you kissed me again and... and I just caved," he said. "I don't think I've ever felt that way about anyone."

Despite her slight alarm at this turn of events, Elena smiled at him and said, "Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I really do like you. So it's not so terrible, that we did what we did. I think I might have done the same thing sober anyway." Catching sight of her wand now, she reached around Jasper to grab it. She pointed it at her own forehead and muttered an incantation, then explained, "This is a handy little spell - it won't get rid of your hangover instantly, but it will help speed your recovery and dull the sensitivity a bit." She pointed the wand at his head this time and repeated the spell. "There."

Jasper instantly felt the difference. "Thanks," he said. Then her words sunk in and he looked back up at her. "You really think you would have done the same thing?" A smile played at his lips as he thought of that. "I know I would have done it if I was sober, but maybe not for a few months. I'm not really one to go this fast normally. But I guess this place isn't normal..."

Elena shrugs and says, "Yeah, maybe. I mean, the alcohol just helped it a long a bit. Maybe this could even be a good thing - it saved us months of beating around the bush."
[Did that just sound wrong to me, or did you read that into it too? The instant I wrote it, I snickered a little to myself.]

((Yeah, that could just be my dirty mind being enhanced from being tired....))
Jasper nodded. "If it makes a difference, from what I remember, you were amazing," he said, a small blush rising on his face. "It was completely different than my first time. But in a good way. A very, very good way."

Elena grinned at that and said, "Well, thank you. I'm pretty sure you were too. I'll be sure to let you know when I remember better." She looked around for a blanket or something to wrap around herself so she could get up, then finding nothing, decided that it was a bit late for that anyway. Slipping out of bed, she went to her closet and began digging through for clean clothes. "I don't know about you, but I'm starving. Fancy some breakfast?"

Jasper couldn't help but stare at her when she got up. "Breakfast, yeah, sounds good," he managed to get out. He shook his head to snap out of his little daydream and went to pull on his clothes from the night before. "Well, they aren't that dirty. I guess I can wear them again," he mumbled, pulling on his clothes.

Putting on some underwear, Elena looked over her shoulder and said with a grin, "I always have some stuff you could try on if you want. There's this one skirt that would really bring out your eyes."

Jasper chuckled, but shook his head. "As much as I appreciate it, I think I'll stick with my own clothes," he said. "Of course, you're welcome to my clothes as well. Just as long as they find their way back to me."

About to slip into a skirt, Elena happens to glance down at her thighs and then pauses. "Oh. Right - there is that." She dresses quickly and says, "Wait here. I'll just go to the girls' bathroom quickly to clean up a bit and then we'll devise a way to sneak out of here without the girls seeing you and all hell breaking loose." With that she grabs a towel and leaves Jasper momentarily alone in her room.

Jasper looked confused until he caught one of her thoughts as she left the room. His eyes widened, but he didn't move to stop her from leaving the room. He sat on her bed and put his head in his hands, the full weight of what had happened finally hitting him. What he felt before was nothing compared to what hit him.

A few minutes later, Elena re-entered the room, humming merrily to herself. She grabbed her wand again and dried her wet hair with a swish and a murmur, then caught sight of Jasper. Frowning, she asked, "Hey, what's wrong? I know hangovers suck, but once you get some coffee in you, you'll start to perk up."

Jasper shook his head and looked up at her with sad eyes. "I hurt you," he said. "I know you said you don't regret it, and I don't regret the act itself, just the fact that I hurt you in the process." He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. "And now, if you ever do regret it, there's nothing either of us can do."

Elena snorted and said, "Hurt me? Well it's not like there was any way it could have been avoided. I mean, besides the not doing of the sex, which clearly was not a favorable option at the time. It's perfectly natural for there to be a bit of bleeding. I would know, I read Cosmowitch."

"I know, it's just..." Jasper groaned. He stood and walked over to Elena, putting his hands on her shoulders and looking her in the eyes. "Can you promise me that you're okay and that I shouldn't be worried?"
