Room 238 [Sunday Afternoon]

Jul 08, 2007 17:31

If someone could cling to a room, John would be doing so. But, since he can't, he settling for hugging doors and appliances in between throwing the last of his things in bags.

He'd miss 238. And other things. But 238 mostly. Maybe.

[Say goodbye if you'd like. He's gone later tonight.]

Late in the afternoon, Anakin appeared in the doorway, eyes shadowed with grief.

"You'll be careful," he said.

It wasn't a suggestion.

Anakin nodded, not trusting himself to speak.

Or remember to let go.

"When we have that first little one," John said, wanting to give Anakin something to hold onto, "he'll need to see his Uncle Anakin all the time."

"Uncle Anakin?" he repeated, smiling a little at the thought.

"Feh, blood relation," John said and shrugged a shoulder. "You're an uncle if I say you're an uncle."

Anakin's entire face lit up when he smiled at John. "I'll do it right this time," he promised.

"No doubt in my mind," John said and hugged Anakin again.

Anakin added a manly back pound to the mix, then stepped back. "If zombies show up at your school, I'm the first phone call, right?"

"You'll be one of the first two we call when we get there," John said. "Me on one phone and Aeryn on another. Just to let you know we got there."

"Good," Anakin said with a small smile. "She's the other one, right?"

And there was only one she in Anakin's universe.

"She is," John said knowingly. "Aeryn and I will probably just pass our phones back and forth when we call."

"Just don't try to get us to talk," Anakin warned. "Things...are strange."

"I won't," John said, nodding. "Just...don't be a turtle at her forever. She needs you too."

Anakin ran his hand through his hair and grimaced. "She has a weird way of showing it."

"Women," John said and patted Anakin in the shoulder. "Can't live without them. The end."

Anakin gave John a slightly haunted smile. "Don't I know it."
