Title: Synapses Rating: PG Wordcount: 147 Pairing: Jon/Kel Fight: 1/F Summary: You mean that much to me/And it’s hard to show. Notes: The first in a series of vignettes based off the lyrics for the song 'Night Time' by The Xx.

What is love, really-- reactions, driven by bodily impulse and biology, or something larger than what they are? Jon is sure he doesn't know, after Delia and Alanna, after Thayet, and now Keladry.
She is hesitant and onion-layered, resistant to his touch. He doesn't know how to express it- I love you, or words approximating that meaning, and she never offers a distinct, other pathway.
It is almost enough for them, or it is that it is not enough to wrench them apart? All she knows is that she doesn't want to be apart from him, that it is a struggle to go back to the north, to lose herself in rivers and pine trees. She does not take tokens of his affections with her, preferring to hold inside her heart those things she cannot say.
He--they are enough to sustain her.
