[HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY EVERYONE!]

[Come to the roof to do American things! Like have cookouts, and eat watermelon. Stay for the fireworks, too.]

No, it would still be the same...

[She sighs, sliding herself under the covers and against him, again.]

I'll just try to find something to take tomorrow night so I can sleep. I don't usually condone sleeping pills, but I'd rather sleep just once than have godawful bags under my eyes.

Hnn? Really?

[He turns on his side to face her offering his softest side to her. John then wraps his arm around her, rubbing her back.]

_{Just relax.}

[drquacksays.livejournal.com]

[She presses her cheek against his chest, listening to his heartbeat, hoping it will make her relax.]

I've stayed up plenty of nights before on the battlefield, but it's unhealthy to not sleep for so long.

[She enjoys his hand on her back, though. It feels like forever since she's properly been held like this. Some part of her misses it. It's not... a need. She doesn't need to be comforted. Enjoying it once in awhile couldn't hurt, though.]

[His heart sounds slow and steady.]

Exactly, so try to sleep.

[Even the loneliest of hermits needs some Human contact sometime.]

Mn. [She places her hand on his chest.] I can't promise I will, though.

[old-papa-john.livejournal.com]

Please try. You don't want to have baggy eyes like mine. [And his one eye has quite the bag underneath it.]

[drquacksays.livejournal.com]

[She softly laughs.] Yeah, I have to keep my beauty for a little while longer.

[Lifting her head up, she smiles. An odd look in her eyes.] Will you at least kiss me goodnight?

[old-papa-john.livejournal.com]

You desire it so that is what you shall get.

[He leans in closer and plants a soft kiss on her lips.]

[drquacksays.livejournal.com]

[She smiles into the kiss before pressing her lips back. An arm slides around his neck, her body softly pressing against his.]

[old-papa-john.livejournal.com]

[He gives her another little kiss before speaking quietly against her lips.]

_{This is nice~}

[drquacksays.livejournal.com]

[She gives a pleased smile, closing her eyes.]

[old-papa-john.livejournal.com]

_{I like it just fine.}

[He's just grown to be very cautious with women, especially women he likes.]

[drquacksays.livejournal.com]

[She gives him a quick peck on the lips.]

[old-papa-john.livejournal.com]

[Old John chuckles at this.]

_{I don't think we will ever get to sleep at this rate. Do you?}

[drquacksays.livejournal.com]

[old-papa-john.livejournal.com]

_{You seem to be pretty comfortable where you are.}

[drquacksays.livejournal.com]

[old-papa-john.livejournal.com]

<sub>We're pretty close here~

~not that I am complaining. Just stating fact.</sub>

[drquacksays.livejournal.com]

[She tilts her chin up a little.]

[old-papa-john.livejournal.com]

_{Nno. Not at all.}

[drquacksays.livejournal.com]

[She shifts a little, placing her head on his chest again.]

[old-papa-john.livejournal.com]

[He smiles to himself as he strokes her back lovingly.]

[drquacksays.livejournal.com]

[She softly laughs.]

[old-papa-john.livejournal.com]

_{As long as you like it and it helps you to relax, then I will agree.}

[drquacksays.livejournal.com]

[She closes her eyes. Even if he does keep saying that, the fact that his hand feels good on her back does calm her.]
