Second floor common room, Monday afternoon

[can_be_more]

Aeryn likes to be left alone when she's in a bad mood, but at times like this she's slightly annoyed by the quiet. Even she can only spend so much time in the gym when she's bored, so Aeryn camps out in front of the television, watching the occasional court show and lowering her opinion of the human race in general.

At one point, she goes back to her room to retrieve the Nerf gun. Shooting at stupid people on TV actually helps.


((Open to anyone who might be around.))

"We don't have to be here," she says.

Another smirk but he's really kind of tired tonight. "Can we just go back to my room and lay together? I just wanna hold you."

[can_be_more]

She nods. "We can do that."

[Not a problem.]

"And I think Bertram misses you."

[can_be_more]

Blink.

"Bertram?"

"That's what I named the DRD," he says proudly, taking one of her hands. "Bertram. Bert. Bertie. It just works so well."

"Bertram," she repeats.

"It's cute," he says, defending the name choice.

John slips off the couch and stands in front of her.

"And I might've programmed him to take a photo of you when you were asleep this morning..."

As soon as those words leave his mouth, he starts to slowly back out of the common room.

She stares at him.

She stands, taking a couple steps forward. "You did."

He makes a face at her. "Could be. Maybe. If I did, I've hidden the photo somewhere really good."

He's almost at the door. Leaning back out the door, he checks for traffic in case he has to run.

"You looked so cute, all sleepy and ruffled and pink cheeked."

She's still walking towards him. "You took a picture of me sleeping."

He's in the hall now, walking towards his room and smiling.

"You have pageant pictures of me, I have sleepy pictures of you..."

[can_be_more]

"You were awake during the pageant," says Aeryn, walking a little faster.

"And you were cute while sleeping," he counters and starts to jog backwards.

[can_be_more]

"Don't think because I love you, I won't hurt you."

"Oooh, baby," he says and makes it to his room. He slips inside and dives under the covers.

"Gotta find me first!"

[can_be_more]

She stands next to the bed, staring at the lump under the covers. "Now you're being silly."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

He pokes his head out from under the covers and smiles up at her.

"I'll take that as a compliment, Sleeping Beauty."

Aeryn kneels on the bed, and whaps him with a pillow.

John laughs and tumbles her to the bed so he's lying over her.

He kisses her once. "Maybe I'm not so tired after all..."

[can_be_more]

"You will be tomorrow," she promises.

[Night!]
