Room 238, Wednesday morning

[can_be_more]

Aeryn would normally be up by now, already dealing with breakfast or the like. She's awake, but for some reason today she's content to stay right where she is, at least for a little while longer. She blames the warm bed and still adjusting back from Bettina's weird schedule this weekend.

"You like my bed better," he says, teasing.

[can_be_more]

"Well, it's bigger," she smiles.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"And better."

[can_be_more]

"Sturdier."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Better," he says again.

[can_be_more]

"It's a bed," she repeats. He's really what makes it comfortable, but she's not sappy enough to say it.

"A better bed."

[can_be_more]

"You're not going to let this go, are you?"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Nope." He smiles. "Admit this is a better bed."

[can_be_more]

She sighs. "Fine."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"That doesn't count," he grouses.

[can_be_more]

"Why not?"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Because you didn't admit, you just agreed with me," he says. "I want to hear the words."

[can_be_more]

"Are you serious?" And then she realizes it's John. Yes, he's serious.

"I am serious," he says, sounding more awake now.

[can_be_more]

She rolls her eyes andsays, "the bed is better."

He smiles and leans over to kiss her. But he might have morning breath.

[can_be_more]

She lets him kiss her, but says, "As much as I love you? Brushing is a good idea."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Awww, you love me lots?"

[can_be_more]

"Yes but not your breath at the moment."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"I just woke up," he says like that explains it.

[can_be_more]

"I realize," she says helpfully.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"You have morning breath too," he says even though she doesn't.

[can_be_more]

"Fine, I'll go brush my teeth and set a good example."

"No!" He wraps her up with arms and legs. "Don't leave the bed."
