Room 238, Sunday morning

[can_be_more]

Yesterday Aeryn graduated, watched the school blow up, killed some aliens, and got engaged.

Guess which one of those things is still sinking in.

She's awake, still not moving, and occasionally looking at the ring because she can't believe it's there.

Yesterday had worn John down in ways he hadn't known he could be tired. But, it was one of those 'oh my god, I'm so happy' tired states which meant he slept really well.

And he's still sleeping, curled tight against Aeryn's side.

She looks over at him, smiling at him. She's not sure she can stop. The smile's kind of stuck there.

"You smilin' at me?" he asks, voice still sleepy.

"Why would I do a thing like that?" she says quietly.
