Room 238 [Tuesday Morning]

[whitedeathpod]

John is not ready to wake up yet. Nope, not at all. So, he fakes sleep and cuddles against Aeryn for warmth because, dude, it's cold outisde. Thank goodness they'd made it to the bed last night.

Since he's not awake, nope not at all, he takes a mental checklist of yesterday's events:

- Angel got a dog. Angel then turned into a puddle of goo

Aeryn can hear voices and the sound of a morning puppy moving around before she really wakes up. And then she does, realizing that she's probably not going to get used to waking up with more than one person in the room. And a puppy.

Also, John's hands are really cold.

She smiles again and kisses him, sliding a hand to the back of his neck.

[whitedeathpod]

He smiles too and says, "Good morning," against her lips.

"The best in a while," she breathes, and finds his free hand with hers.

[whitedeathpod]

He brings their joined hands to his lips and kisses her knuckles. "I agree. I finally got some sleep. And I didn't fall out of bed. And you were here. That makes everything better."

Aeryn trails her fingers lightly down his spine. "Still feeling sore?"

[whitedeathpod]

"Yes," he says before nuzzling her neck, "but that's for different reasons. And what about you?"

[can_be_more]

"I'm feeling pretty good, actually," she smiles. There's a pause, and she asks, "Too sore?"

[whitedeathpod]

"Too sore for what?" John asks slyly. "I'm glad you're smiling at me again," he says and traces her lips his a finger.

[can_be_more]

She bows her head just the tiniest bit to kiss his finger. "So am I."

[whitedeathpod]

"And, just because I'm nice, I'll tell you that you didn't manage clothing before falling asleep last night," he says wickedly. He slides the arm that's around her to rest on a bare hip to prove that point.

[can_be_more]

"Hm... How convenient," she says, and quirks an eyebrow.

[whitedeathpod]

He shrugs lazily. "In case you were thinking of getting out of bed and all. I think your pants are on the floor over here. You want me to get them?"

[can_be_more]

"I don't have to go anywhere for a while. It wasn't really on my mind," she says. "Do you have anywhere to be?"

[whitedeathpod]

"No," he says quietly and presses closer again. He can't help it. It's been under a week and that's too long. "Nowhere to go. Mmm." He lets his forehead rest against hers. "I'll just stay here then."

[can_be_more]

Aeryn doesn't want to admit just how relieved she is at that, and kisses him again. "Another good plan."
