A Night On The Town (Black Lantern Spoony)

[Black Lantern Spoony]

"You can do some good. You already do good anyway. Just because you're young doesn't mean you're not experienced. I can vouch for you if you need me too but if you want to take care of yourself, that's fine" BLS responded, glad that jim was glad for his support. BLS knew Jim was able to take care of himself, no matter how much he cared, jim would eventually have to try and do things for himself anyway. He rubbed Jim's shoulder in sympathy as he shuddered over the cyborg fight, he didn't say anything about it except for a nod

"You won't. Don't worry" BLS responded quickly, making sure Jim was aware that BLS had faith in him completely. He then chuckled again as Jim asked if he was craving his flesh, in the sense of eating him "No. I can control my appetite far more than a zombie can. Besides, I would never eat you, never. I can eat all kinds of flesh, that includes animals. So in a way, I'm a messed up meat eater" He then calmly listened as Jim commented that he didn't want to die to become a black lantern. BLS responded back "You won't have to. I'm not going to turn you into a black lantern. I want to turn you into something similar" He then pulled out a indigo ring and showed it to jim "This is a indigo lantern ring. It's just as good as a black lantern ring but you won't die, you won't crave flesh or anything like that, you'll just have more powers and be much more protected"

Jim smiled at him as he wiped happy tears from his eyes.

"You have such faith in me. Even when I don't. Thank you for that." said Jim.

He smiled as BLS was sympathetic. He grinned as BLS assured him that he wouldn't let him down. This was all so new to him. HE grinned at him.

"Thank you. This is so new to me. You're not the first guy I've been with. You're my first relationship. I never found anyone before. The first few friends I really had was during my search for the treasure. But they were all adults. Amelia and Dopplar soon got busy raising their kids and Amelia was a captain. Silver was a pirate and on the run. Ben well he was a robot so I guess I still had him. And I had crushes but no one wanted me. I was beginning to think I wasn't good enough for it. After all my dad didn't care enough about me to stay. And my mom I put her through so much. I rebelled, I got in trouble and she was always there for me. I thought she was all I was going to have. Until I met you. Just don't leave me. If for whatever reason we break up promise we'll stay friends. I don't want to be alone. Not again." said Jim.

He paused realizing he was rambling and blushed.

"Sorry. I do that sometimes when I'm nervous or excited." said Jim.

He nodded as BLS corrected him saying eats all flesh including animals but that he'd never eat him. Jim sighed in relief.

"That's good. I mean not that I doubted you. I just wanted to be sure. So I don't have to worry about being around you when you're hungry or eating right? said Jim, teasing him a little.

Jim relaxed as BLS said he wasn't going to turn him into a black lantern and showed him an indigo ring. Jim nodded taking the ring.

"I'll wear it every day." said Jim.

Suddenly people began applauding as Jim looked up hearing cheers and applause. He then heard sighs as well from some of the female customers and saw dreamy looks from other people. What was going on?

"You two make a cute couple. When's the wedding?" shouted one person.

"That was so sweet. I hope my boyfriend proposes like that." said another girl.

He then saw several flashes realizing people were taking pictures as he buried his face in his hands. Jim blushed realizing what was going on.

""They think you just proposed and I accepted. Maybe I should become a black lantern. I think I'm about to die of embarrassment. " said Jim.

[Black Lantern Spoony]

BLS smiled in affection as Jim responded about BLS' faith in him. He then listened to the young boy ramble about having BLS as his only boyfriend, that his friends were either very busy or not really people of interest, that girls ignored him, that Silver was on the run, that he felt doubt ever since he was little because of his father's abandonment. When Jim finally stopped rambling, BLS came over, hugged the boy and peppered the boy's face with affectionate kisses. "Shhhh. It's ok. I love it when you're excited. You're so adorable. I swear to god" He kissed the boy on the lips and murmured "You'll never lose me. If anything happens and we'll be not a couple anymore, we will always be friends. But I have no intentions on leaving you. I'm staying wherever you are"

"Oh no. Not at all. I'll be too focused on the food or hearing your adorable voice" BLS teased right back, giving Jim a very calm, amused smirk. He then was about to put the ring on Jim when he heard other people. BLS growled softly, annoyed with the privacy being ruined but he calmed down seeing how excited they were being. But his frustration came back when he saw how embarrassed Jim was, ignoring his joke. He responded with minor annoyance "Hey! Hey! I'm glad you're pleased but we're private people! Can you please stop? I'm..." He looked to Jim and sighed softly, regretting his words a lot "I'm not proposing to him. Not yet anyway. It's a gift. But maybe someday we'll get married. But that's our business. Can you please leave?"

"Hey you heard the guy! Leave him and his cutie alone!" A blond woman said, helping BLS gather the photographers away from the scene.

"Yeah, this isn't lady gaga or miley cyrus. Jesus. The next thing we know is we'll be excited over a first date" One older, grampa-ish man said "Back in my day we left couples to themselves"

The one person who asked for the wedding came over and apoligized, the woman meanwhile blushed and just went back to her business. BLS turned to Jim and responded very regretfully "I'm sorry baby. I didn't mean to be so blunt like that. I'm such a jerk"

[Indigo Lantern Jim Black]

Jim grinned as BLS hugged him and kissed him. He blushed at being called adorable. No one called him taht before.

"You really think I'm adorable?" asked Jim.

Jim grinned at BLS's words.

"I'm glad to hear that. You just mean so much to me. Whether we're dating, or just friends. I couldn't lose you completely." said Jim.

Jim blushed as BLS said he would be focused on him and his adorable voice. He frowned at their adoring public but BLS got them all to back off with some help from the crowd itself. He sighed as they all went back to what they were doing.

"It's ok. People just assumed it was an engagement ring. It was embarrassing but if that had been an engagement ring my answer would have been yes. You're the only one for me." said Jim.

Jim grinned as he went back to eating the embarrassment slowly vanishing from his face.

[Black Lantern Spoony]

"You're the only one I know is adorable, baby" BLS said, he then gave a wink, trying to be both flirtatious and confident. He then beamed a bit more, glad that Jim was so happy and with him now. He felt very content with knowing that Jim was this way for the long time but cared more about other people, it gave a kindness that gave the normally bitter BLS was attracted to.

"You mean a lot to me too. Regardless of us being friends or now dating. Whatever happens to us, we'll still be close, I can promise that" BLS assured, holding onto Jim's hands, once again forgetting all the people around them. As nice as they were, there was such a thing as too much kindness. Or at least too much attention-seeking/giving.

He then was relieved to see Jim had no hard feelings, but it still made BLS feel bad he had to announce he wasn't getting married to Jim, even though he had considerations for the future to have that happen. He sighed softly before smiling as Jim said he was the only one for him "You're all I need in this damned world. But one day, at the right time and at a very lovely location, I'll ask you to marry me" He then grinned and kissed jim once more after saying this, ignoring the fact the other was just starting to eat again.

[Indigo Lantern Jim Black]

Jim blushed at the compliment again. He liked being called adorable yet it was odd.

"Promise you'll call me that when we're alone. I like it but I'd rather not have everyone making a big deal out of it. And I know they would." said Jim.

Jim smiled as BLS's words.

"Thank you. I just couldn't handle someone else leaving my life. My mom and all my friends from back home I may never see again. So you guys may be all I have. And well I've already started to think of you as family even when we were just friends." said Jim.

Jim ignored the people around them for now sure they were occasionally watching them. At least they weren't making a big fuss about it anymore.

"Oh and from now on perhaps you can give me gifts when we're alone together to avoid stuff like this? Especially if you do propose. I don't need a big scene in front of my family or even strangers. I don't even need a ring. I just need you." said Jim.

Jim grinned as BLS spoke again.

"That's all I need too. I have new parents and brothers. I never thought I'd ever have brothers. Ronno, Pinocchio, Mano, and Mowgli. They're all so young especially Pinocchio. And now I have you and I'm not letting you go." said Jim.

He grinned as BLS kissed him again as they resumed eating. He glanced at the navy lantern ring as he paused for a moment and placed it in his pocket.

"I won't wear this until I can use it. I'd rather not expose the war or hurt an innocent person. If that's okay with you. Perhaps you could help me train sometime. Or maybe I should ask someone else. Since I don't know if we'd get much training done." said Jim.

He grinned as he sipped from his soda.

[Black Lantern Spoony]

BLS nodded as Jim asked to be called certain names when the two were alone. He understood Jim's reasons. He was shy and preferred romance to be specific. Pet names were something considered private "Absolutely, baby. Can I at least call you that?" He winked playfully before being serious "In all seriousness. Whatever you want to be called I call you in public. Is certain pet names like baby ok, or just Jim alone?" He wasn't being difficult, he was just making sure. "Anything to make you comfortable"

"You won't have to. I'm not going anywhere. I won't go anywhere where you're not with me. I'm here for you" BLS promised, holding Jim's hands with his own. He gently rubbed the skin of Jim's hands and made Jim feel that BLS was there for him. He didn't care about anything else to be honest. He only cared about his own friends and Jim himself.

"Ok. That was my bad. I'm sorry. I wanted it to be special anyway. When I propose to you, it'll just be the two of us. I promise" BLS swore, smiling softly. He just felt love for the boy. Nothing else. He grinned happily as Jim said he only needed BLS too. That he had him and wasn't going to let BLS go "Neither am I with you. I'm never letting you go" He couldn't help but kiss Jim once more. He just enjoyed kissing Jim so much. It felt right for him.

He then saw Jim put the ring away and say he wouldn't put it on until later "It's totally fine. Put it on later. Once you do, you'll be more protected and other things. You don't have to right now" He then smiled as Jim teased that they wouldn't get much training done if they were together. BLS smirked playfully and responded "You're right. I'd be too busy being distracted by how beautiful you are"

[Indigo Lantern Jim Black]

Jim frowned at that.

"I'm not sure. Baby's fine. It just sounds weird to me. Maybe you should come with something unique. Something only we'd understand." said Jim.

Jim shrugged at that.

"You can call me Jim I guess. I'm not sure about other pet names. I guess I'm just a private person and I've been picked on enough before I came here. I know no one would mean any harm but I'd just don't want anyone else to tease me about baby names. It's different when you tease me as I know you love me. But I still barely know some of the others. Is that ok if we just have pet names in private?" said Jim.

Jim smiled as BLS said he wasn't going anywhere.

"You'd better not. I guess I'm a bit selfish in that I don't want to completely let you go. I could stop dating you if i had to but I couldn't cut you out of my life completely. You just mean to much to me." said Jim.

He smiled as Jim was rubbing the back of his hands and Jim was relaxing a bit more.

"Thanks. It's special because it came from you."said Jim.

He grinned seeing BLS say "when" he would propose.

"When you propose huh? Already thought about it?" asked Jim, teasing him a little.

Jim grinned as they were kissing again as he knew they loved each other. He grinned whispering to him.

"If that had been a proposal I definitely would have said yes." whispered Jim.

He smirked not sure what reaction he'd get out of BLS but he couldn't resist.

"I just don't know how to control it yet. I wouldn't want put it on and have my lantern costume come out. Or fire laser beams. The war is supposed to be a secret after all. I guess I just won't wear it in public until I can control it." said Jim.

Jim blushed again as BLS said he was distracted by his beauty.

"Then I guess we'll have to stop training and fighting together if I'm such a distraction." teased Jim.

(OCC: I find this really cute. Eventually Jim does allow him to publically call him "Babe/Baby" and offscreen that lantern ring he has is tested, yet they're so new to this whole thing. It's adorable)

"Hm. Ok. Um, what about Hawk? No that's too confusing. I'll think about it" BLS was serious but he was overall trying to get Jim to laugh. He wanted to make Jim comfortable and happy. He then realized Jim wasn't used to nicknames or pet names because he normally got teased and was called names to depict the opposite intentions. He nodded as Jim explained himself "You know, you don't have to explain yourself to me. I genuinely just want to make you happy the way you do for me. Plus, pet names in private is no different than doing it in public. If you're ready to do in public someday or never, let me know but for now I'll just call you baby and stuff in private. It'll just be Jim for now"

He then held Jim's hand and kissed it "Just know that you shouldn't let people get to you or allow their judgements to change who you are ok?" With that said, he then smiled as Jim said that he didn't want to let him go. That he could stop dating him but he could never cut BLS out of his life period. At that BLS came close and gave Jim a affectionate and tender kiss on the lips again. Unable to resist Jim's kindness. "You're too good for me but I swear on my... well... somewhat dead life that I'll never let you go either. I won't let anything happen to me" He grinned when Jim then said that this gift was special because it came from BLS himself.

"Maybe I have. Maybe Mechakara will be my best man" Now that BLS was teasing about it, mechakara was a definite choice for best man. But again, he was just fooling and not being truly serious as of this very moment. But he was serious about eventually proposing. Jim was his choice above all else. He then listened to Jim's whispered confession of if it was a proposal, Jim would've said yes. BLS blushed, his eyes widening with joy. He then looked down humbly before giving a tiny cough. He then focused on the ring "My personal opinion is for you to test it when we get home and try to get yourself used to it is all. Maybe actually getting used to wearing then testing it out at the right locations until with time you're used to it"

"Ah you're no fun. That would make me not want to train anymore" BLS teased back, sticking his tongue out playfully.

[Indigo Lantern Jim Black]

(ooc: yeah. perhaps the training is off screen since i don't really know the full range of its powers. plus would give them more time together. not sure if jim would respond to baby or babe though as it does sound kinda girly. maybe something more personal for a nickname would work better.)

Jim grinned. Hawk didn't sound too bad but he wasn't sure why it was confusing.

"Alright. I'll let you think one up." said Jim.

Jim nodded.

"I know you do. And thank you for understanding." said Jim.

Jim blushed as BLS kissed him.

"I know. As long as I have you I won't let others get to me." said Jim.

Jim moaned as BLS kissed him as he returned the kiss eagerly.

"Your kisses are so addictive." said Jim.

He shook his head.

"I think you have it backward. You're the one too good for me. But I'm glad you want me when there's so many you could have been with." said Jim.

Jim winced at the mention of Mechakara and tried to hide it. He knew it was irrational and Mechakara wasn't himself. But he still couldn't help being afraid of him. He knew BLS was stuck in the middle being best friends with Mechakara and dating him.

"Wow. I just realized I barely know anyone in the army. So one of my brothers would likely end up being my best man." said Jim.

Jim grinned.

"I'll definitely be testing it. But I hope you'll be there to help me. On second thought maybe the woods would be a better training ground. I wouldn't want to put a hole through the wall or the roof." said Jim.

Jim chuckled.

"But training's not supposed to be fun. It's supposed to make us better fighters." said Jim, teasing him back.
