Andy wrapped his arms around her in the hug, knowing very well the fear that gripped her as well as his own. There was a chance he could never come back. Despite that though, he knew he had to charge forward...or he would never let it go if he didn't. He reluctantly disengaged from the hug and took something off his neck. A metal chain with a metal lion's head on the end: his Griever necklace.
"Here...you may as well have this," he said, slipping it around her neck. "A close friend gave it to me...I kept it with me always, now I am giving it to you."

Everything felt cold as Andy pulled away. Their embrace lasted for so long yet at the same time it wasn't long enough for Jasmine. She looked at the necklace as Andy put it around her neck and her tears started to fight her back; they wanted out so badly but she managed to still keep them from falling as she ran her fingers over the lion pendant. It reminded her in some odd ways of the amethyst she'd given to Andy awhile back.
Jasmine looked up at Andy, her smile showing her thankfulness far more than words ever could convey and she gripped both the necklace from him as well as the one from her mother--the two most important people in her life sat right by her heart.
"Go finish this. I'll see you at the end when it's all over," she said before changing her tone to a teasing one, "you better not be late!"

Andy smiled back a little and tried to fight the feeling that something was missing around his neck. He wanted to say something more to her, but he felt reluctant and embarrassed to say what else was on his mind. And yet...he didn't feel satisfied walking away like this, just simply giving her a bobble wasn't enough. So he swallowed down his fears, stepped up to her and kissed her on the forehead.
Probably the most, at the moment, he was brave enough to do.

Jasmine's face turned a very vibrant red as Andy kissed her forehead, her heart flipping around in her chest. The only thing that bothered her was why did this all have to happen right now? Why not before? Right now she'd give anything to just...stay like this for awhile but that was unable to happen, sadly. So for now she enjoyed it.
She was going to turn around and follow the boys into battle and hope that everyone came out alright. The constant thought of having to bury more people was upsetting, and having to say goodbye to Andy shook her nerves quite a bit. Dammit, this had to be a good farewell.
Which is why, almost immediately after Andy touched his lips to her forehead, she near instinctively brought her hands up to his cheeks and pulled him in so her own lips would meet his.
It wasn't her first kiss unfortunately, but it was the first that was of her own volition. And she did really want this for in the event that Andy didn't come back (or herself, for that matter), at least she knew what the experience was like.
If she died, at least she didn't go broken-hearted, as selfish as it is.
((I WIN THE PRIZE.))

When Jasmine pulled back she would see a wide eyed Andy with a face as similar as his hair color, he kind of froze like that for a good minute before his eyes blinked and soon life was moving through his body.
"Uh..." Andy managed to speak, he cleared his throat and continued. "That...well...it...I...um......aw hell with it."
Deciding that the moment was already made by Jasmine he did what any kid his age would do when kissed by a girl: he walked right up and kissed back.

Jasmine let out a small giggle as she saw Andy's initial reaction. In a way, she was actually rather shocked with herself as well but at the very least never regretted a second of it. As Andy came back in to kiss her, she threw her arms around him again to deepen it and enjoyed what had to be at the present the best moment of her life.
As Jasmine broke from the kiss this time she kept very close to Andy, studying his brown eyes carefully as she said in almost a whisper, "Go now. We have a world to save, and I'll be waiting for you when it's over if you aren't already looking for me."
She spoke as if this were fact, she didn't want doubts anymore and so forced herself to believe there were none.

Andy nodded and slowly, reluctantly, stepped away from her and stood under the portal that his darker Other created. He looked at the portal and his eyes narrowed.
I'm coming for you, it ends here. he thought.
And somewhere...on Earth, standing on a building in LA. His Other grinned.
I eagerly await you.
((end))
