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.

"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.

[jasonwright]

"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.
