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.

"Not if I can help it." Poke.

"Ouch! That one hurt." He doesn't get up though.

[can_be_more]

"It wasn't supposed to," she says, and this time just prods him really lightly against his side, which turns more into rubbing the area. Just in case it's another weird thing where poking is harmful to humans. She really wouldn't put it past this species.

"Why're you trying to keep me awake?"

[can_be_more]

"I have no idea," Aeryn admits. "I just like when you're awake."

"I'll be awake soon," he says drowsily.

[can_be_more]

Aeryn gives up, uses her hands to hold up his head so it doesn't smack into the mattress right away, and lays in the space she's got.

"What're you doing?" John asks, sleepy again.

[can_be_more]

"I can irritate you better from here," she says, but she's just folded her arms and is staring up at the ceiling.

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

[can_be_more]

"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.

[can_be_more]

"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.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"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."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"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.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Seems like," he says and pouts again.

[can_be_more]

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.
