Room 238, Thursday morning

[can_be_more]

The summer's almost over and Aeryn still hasn't learned about that thing called 'laziness'. It's not too early, but Aeryn's up already and just laying there isn't doing anything for her. Not wanting to wake John, she sits up and starts to get out of bed.

"Are you mad at me cuz I won't wake up all the way?" He's still tired, he can't help it.

"I don't think I've been mad since Dr. Cox's class," says Aeryn, and that's not even really mad.

"That's good," he says and kisses her shoulder.

"Stop being cute," she says. Because if she says the word, maybe he'll call her on it and then she can be annoyed.

"No," he says and snuggles her shoulder.

[can_be_more]

"Stop it," she says.

"Fine," he says and turns over and pouts.

[can_be_more]

"Oh, don't do that," Aeryn says. "You've been trying to sleep all morning when I wanted to actually talk with you or something."

"It's early," he says and doesn't move. "I would've woken up but I was still sleepy."

[can_be_more]

"Well, are you awake now?" she asks, noticing the past tense.

"Seems like," he says and pouts again.

Aeryn feels a little bad. She reaches over and rubs his shoulder.

"What's wrong with cuddling?" John asks quietly.

[can_be_more]

"You cuddle when you're tired and you're asleep in no time," she answers.

"It's early and I was still half asleep." He scowls and finally just sits up.

[can_be_more]

"My point exactly," says Aeryn, not moving.

John has no idea what the issue here is. He' done this before and suddenly it's a problem.

He rubs his face and blinks, still waking up. Reaching behind him, he grabs the plate and goes to dump it in the trash.

Believe it or not, Aeryn feels more normal now. "You all right?" she asks, propping herself up on her elbows.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Sure," he says and shrugs.

[can_be_more]

"Are you angry?"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"No," he says and finishes up in the kitchen before coming back.

[can_be_more]

She's not sure she believes it, and answers with, "Hm."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"What?" John asks, coming back to sit on the bed.

[can_be_more]

She shakes her head. "Nothing. You're just quiet."

"What's wrong with snuggling?"
