Oh, it's a natural talent. Definitely. [ In all seriousness, though, so much of what Jim does and is good at comes naturally to him, and even when a certain thing takes a little more work, he manages to pull it off with an apparent ease that makes it look to just about anyone else like he didn't even break a sweat.
It has sometimes earned him a few... well, not enemies per se, but certainly disgruntled looks and jealous remarks thrown his way. He was popular back at the Academy no doubt, especially since he was so good at charming and befriending just about anyone, but that also came with a number of people not liking him all that much. Not that he ever cared, back then.
Not that he cares now, either. He's more weathered now, easier to befriend, he likes to think, but if someone doesn't like him, then it's not the end of the world. He doesn't live under the illusion that there's anyone out there who's liked by everyone they meet. ]
Well, you never know. [ He chuckles faintly, draping an arm across Bones's stomach, tucking in close to him. They'll have to fix up the sleeping bags eventually, but that can wait just a bit longer. Particularly when Bones goes and says sweet things like that. ]
I'm glad you're here with me, Bones. [ Out here on the mission, here in the Quarantine... pretty much anywhere they might end up together. He leans in, brushing a soft kiss against Bones's cheek, then resting his head on his shoulder. ] You make me happy.
