Home {Iris}

[jasonwright]

 After the rescue boats arrived, Iris and Jason, along with every other survivor rescued from the island, were taken to SC Memorial. It was only after he saw Iris fall asleep from the medication that Jason allowed himself to be taken away by doctors. They took x-rays to make sure the cut hadn't gone too deep and damaged anything more than just his skin. Satisfied his stitches were well done and all he needed was rest, the doctors gave Jason a bed and knocked him out for the evening. Once he woke up, they re-wrapped his bandages and released Jason. 

He's been awake for about an hour now, waiting outside Iris' room as the doctors do their final checks before they're willing to release her. He's nervous, drumming his fingers against the frame of the hospital door. He just wants Iris to walk out of that room, cast on her foot, and pain free. He just wants to get her home, because she needs to be home.

"No!" she gasps, upset that she made him think that. "Never! I'm sorry, I'm just being dumb!"

[jasonwright]

"Oh. Good." He almost sighs in relief. "Why are you being dumb then?"

[littleredsiren]

"Because I'm a dumb person with dumb emotions?" she suggests, tilting her head, sending her hair cascading over his chest with the motion.

[jasonwright]

Jason reaches up and brushes a thumb along her cheek. "You're not a dumb person with dumb emotions, Iris."

[littleredsiren]

She leans into his hand with a small, wry smile. "I am, but you're sweet for saying that."

[jasonwright]

"Guess I'm dumb too then," he suggests. "Now get under the covers and cuddle me."

[littleredsiren]

"So demanding," she drawls, glad the subject has lapsed as she rolls onto the bed next to him, dragging the blankets over them and cuddling up against him.

[jasonwright]

"Just one day out of the week." He lays back on the bed, opening an arm for her to curl up on his and wraps his arm around her waist. "I kind of like you, you know."

[littleredsiren]

She kind of hates him a little right now, in a loving way. "Mmmm... I kind of like you too," she chuckles.

[jasonwright]

He smiles to himself and kisses the top of her head. "I'm glad, or that'd make all this a bit awkward."

[littleredsiren]

Laughing, she lowers her voice to a stage whisper. "Shhh... I'm actually just using you for your body."

[jasonwright]

"Well that's good because my personality sucks," he grins.

[littleredsiren]

"I wouldn't know," she teases, resting her chin on his chest. "I've been too focused on how nice your body is to care."

[jasonwright]

"I'm okay with that, actually. As long as you're looking at me."

[littleredsiren]

"So vain!" she scolds, reaching up to tweak his nose playfully.

[jasonwright]

He laughs and pushes her hand away. "If you're looking at me, then I have your attention which I like."

[littleredsiren]

"Still vain!" she laughs, poking his side instead. "But I'm glad you like my attention, because you have it. All of the time."

[jasonwright]

He squirms away from her. "Good. I need all of your attention all the time."

[littleredsiren]

Iris bats her lashes at him, reaching out and clinging to his waist so he can't squirm away further. "Do I have your attention?"

[jasonwright]

He smiles, looking at her like she's the only person in the world. "You have every bit of my attention."

[littleredsiren]

"Good. Because I am also vain," she smiles, leaning up and pressing a soft kiss against his lips.

[jasonwright]

He kisses her back, enjoying the softness of her lips. "I'm very very okay with that."

[littleredsiren]

Iris stretches out against him, nuzzling his shoulder. "Clearly we need to get stranded on a desert island more often."

[jasonwright]

"You think the island's responsible for all this?"

[littleredsiren]

"I assumed the ridiculous amount of snuggles was the islands doing, yes," she answers, tilting her head curiously.
