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.

"I know," he laughs. He's unbelievably happy right now and plays with the ends of Iris' hair. "I think I'm gonna get a shower. Clean up before we sleep."

[littleredsiren]

"Probably a good idea," she admits, nuzzling his chest happily. She wants him to stay, really, but he's probably pretty uncomfortable right now. At least she'd managed to grab a shower while he was out picking up Alfredo.

[jasonwright]

He kisses her cheek before getting out of bed to go grab a shower. It's like heaven. He had showered at the hospital, but showering at Iris' feels more relaxing. After finishing, he wraps a towel around his waist and enters the bedroom again.



"I feel a thousand times better," he grins.

[littleredsiren]

Iris is stretched out on her stomach when he gets back, half asleep already. But the sight of him in just a towel is enough to wake her right back up.

"I'd say you look a thousand times better but you always look amazing," she teases, biting her lip as she rolls back over.

[jasonwright]

He smiles when Iris' attention is focused on him and he crawls back into bed, dropping the towel on the floor.

"Are you flirting with me, Miss Kouris?"

[littleredsiren]

"I might be..." she teases, hiding her blush with a hand when he's suddenly naked again. "Do you have a problem with that?"

[jasonwright]

He gets under the covers and looks at her with a lopsided grin. "No problem here. Please, flirt away, gorgeous."

[littleredsiren]

Laughing, she leans over and presses a soft kiss to his lips before laying back down next to him. Reaching out, she twirls little sections of his still damp hair around her fingers, amused by how they curl slightly. "You need to stop being so handsome, okay?"

[jasonwright]

She's playing with his hair and Jason smiles softly, relaxing at the feeling. "I'll just show up here right after a day on the boat all sweaty and gross then."

[littleredsiren]

"Still handsome," she argues, raising her brows at him. "You forget that we just got off an island after five days with no showers. You're still handsome."

[jasonwright]

"Oh, right," he blushes slightly. "I'll just get plastic surgery then."

[littleredsiren]

"But what if I don't want you for my boyfriend after that?" she tuts. "What if I'm really shallow and I only like you because you're handsome?"

[jasonwright]

Jason laughs. "I'm okay with that. I just have to look like this, and you'll keep dating me?"

[littleredsiren]

"Mmhmm! But are you really okay with dating someone so shallow?"

[jasonwright]

"I don't think you're actually shallow at all."

[littleredsiren]

"No? But I am! Like a puddle," she teases, pushing herself up on an elbow to lean over him with a grin.

[jasonwright]

"You are the least shallow person I know," he admits, raising his brows at her.

[littleredsiren]

"Oh please," she laughs, leaning down and kissing his nose. "I'm a little shallow. I totally ogled you when you came back from that shower."

[jasonwright]

"That's alright. I knew you did. And I totally ogled you just a minute ago when you leaned over me." He smiles cheekily.

[littleredsiren]

A squeak of a gasp is all she manages to get out, rolling back over and covering up her chest as she blushes. It doesn't matter what he's seen and what they've done already, she's still a little self-conscious. "You're bad!"

[jasonwright]

Jason laughs because it's really cute how she's still a bit shy around him. "Iris, I check you out all the time, sorry."

[littleredsiren]

Iris can't help but giggle at that, tugging the blankets over herself again. "Nooo... You're a lot better at hiding it than I am, I guess."

[jasonwright]

"Maybe you're too busy checking me out to notice I'm checking you out?" he suggests, rolling over to wrap his arms around her again.

[littleredsiren]

The warmth of his body envelopes her and she can't stop the soft sigh that slips out. He's so warm, and safe, and all she wants to do right now is lay in his arms forever. "Maybe... I do it a lot," she admits, slipping her own arms around his waist and nuzzling his shoulder.

[jasonwright]

"I'm glad we're mutually ogling each other then," he grins. She's comfortable and warm, and Jason kisses the top of her head, feeling the exhaustion of the day finally catch up. "We should sleep. We both need to catch up on our rest."
