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.

"Hmm...I think that would've happened without the island though."

[littleredsiren]

She blushes at that, ducking her head. "Really?"

[jasonwright]

"Yeah." Jason rolls over onto his side and props himself up on an elbow. "I know we only just started dating on the cruise but...it wouldn't have taken long before we started doing all this," he grins. "Island or not."

[littleredsiren]

Her face is burning, despite everything, and she carefully rolls away, pretending to look for something in the nightstand. "I, ah... Really. That's, ummm... Good to know!" she stammers out, grinning but embarrassed.

[jasonwright]

Iris can't really hide her embarrassment from Jason anymore. Not that she was ever able to really hide it from him before. He smiles at her back. "You don't think so?"

[littleredsiren]

"No!" she squeaks, still digging through the drawer. "I just... Its weird hearing you say it. Like you were planning on it. I don't know!"

[jasonwright]

"I wasn't planning on it, but we were getting pretty hot and heavy on the boat," he shrugs.

[littleredsiren]

"Oh. I forgot. I mean. I didn't forget, I just-" she flaps her hands, not even looking at him as she kicks herself for poor wording. "It got pushed back in my thoughts by the more recent... hot... heaviness?"

And with that, the blush has creeped down onto the tips of her shoulders and she's a little bit ready to fall off the bed.

[jasonwright]

Jason chuckles at that. "That dress is very much still at the front of my mind," he teases. He reaches over to touch her arm. "You are really far away from me right now."

[littleredsiren]

"I still have that dress," she mumbles, jumping at his touch. "I am waiting until my face isn't tomato red to come back..."

[jasonwright]

"That's going to be a long time from now," he laughs. "Come on, just hide your face while hugging me."

[littleredsiren]

She pauses for a moment before rolling over as quickly as possible, burying her face in his chest.

[jasonwright]

Jason makes a small oof sound as she buries herself into him suddenly. He hugs her and kisses the top of her head. "Much better."

[littleredsiren]

She makes a weird noise as she presses up against him, blush slowly reducing as her breathing syncs up with his heart beat.

[jasonwright]

"What's wrong, hon?" he asks, still confused as to why she got embarrassed in the first place.

[littleredsiren]

"'M just... being silly," she mumbles against his skin. "Don't mind it, okay?"

[jasonwright]

"Well I wouldn't, expect I'm kind of confused by it..."

[littleredsiren]

"I'm just feeling shy!" she huffs. "It happens sometimes."

[jasonwright]

"Oooh. Okay, I understand that." He pulls the covers up over them. "Just hide and everything will be fine."

[littleredsiren]

She laughs as everything goes dark around her, the covers blocking out the light that isn't blocked by his chest. "Just let me out if I stop being able to breathe, please."

[jasonwright]

"I'll check on you regularly," he laughs. "You'll be fine."

[littleredsiren]

"Good boy," she grins, slipping her arms around his waist and nuzzling his chest.

[jasonwright]

Jason shifts on the bed, getting himself comfortable as he closes his eyes. "Sleep tight, Iris."

[littleredsiren]

"You too, sweetie," she mumbles, already half gone herself.
