fell asleep on

[chatona]

SWEET DREAMS.

Someone, whether it be a friend or a total stranger, has fallen asleep on you wherever you happen to be; you are a rather comfortable pillow to them. What do you do?

Comments

Yes please! :D

[brokenweapon]

[Jason smiles when he realizes that she'd dozed off, too. He could tell because her breathing had slowed.

He likes it when they can find peace. And for now, he's happy being sentry. At least, he is until she wakes up as well.

He takes a deep breath in and dozes off once more. A few minutes more won't be a problem.]

(ooc: sounds great!)

Yessss.

[reluctantaccessory]

(She begins to stir after some time and once her eyes are open she goes and looks at the time, her eyes widen and feels herself suddenly awake. Marie gently reaches over and nudges the sleeping man resting his head on her shoulder.)

Jason, wake up...we overslept. Wake up?

(Though, once she says that. She feels a little disappointed that this peaceful moment was gone so soon.)

(ooc: The comms I'm at right now are nexus_musebox and the ooc comm is nexus_musebox_ooc. I'm looking at boomtown right now and it's making me realize that I really need to get a bio put together. I should get on that. And yay! Today has been a good day!)

8D imma check them out

[brokenweapon]

[Jason jerks awake, having drifted off again. Immediately he's on alert, and not just because he'd been shaken into wakefulness.]

We both fell asleep, [he says, and he doesn't sound particularly pleased with that. It's pleasant to be here with Marie, but they'd let their guard down.]

Still working on an app, work was not the place to try doing that today. Everyone wanted to chat.

[reluctantaccessory]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that, to fall asleep. (She just had gotten so comfortable and it was so quiet and she didn't want to move and accidentally wake him. She shakes her head a little bit.)

It just happened. (She had no real excuse in her eyes. But, it was too late to change that now.)

that's okay! :D

[brokenweapon]

It's okay, [he says. Mostly he's irritated with himself, for sleeping so long. But he'd needed it, and they hadn't come to ruin. This time.] It was nice.

*just packs notebook into work bag, shifty eyes.*

[reluctantaccessory]

I'll be more careful next time. (She frowns for a moment then a slight smile appears on her face. She is entirely annoyed with herself because she had said she would stay awake and hadn't managed even that. Though, it had ended well enough this time. That made it worth it, at least a piece of her wanted to think that?) It was nice, wasn't it?

(She lets go of him. They already tempted fate once today, a second time would not be wise.)

yes good

[brokenweapon]

[He dearly wants to tell her not to worry about it, that it's okay, that they're safe, that they're protected.

He decided a long time ago he was never going to lie to her.]

It was, [he says with a little smile.]

I got a little done, something. I need to leave the building tomorrow to work on it in peace.

[reluctantaccessory]

(She knows that being comforted won't help if something did happen later because of this, the willingness to not lie is something she values. There are too many people out there who would lie over less. She tries to smile back when he says that. But, the worry still lies there and she can't imagine it going away so easily, not for a while longer anyway.)

Did you sleep well? No nightmares this time?

good luck with it, apps are hard!

[brokenweapon]

[He nods, knowing that she knows the score and thankful for it. It's not that he doesn't trust you, Marie, he just doesn't trust anyone else. Marie is the one constant in his life - his guiding star. If anything were to tear them apart...]

No nightmares, [he confirms.] You?

Thank ya. Actually did get a work done on it today. Well, my thoughts arranged...

[reluctantaccessory]

(If she had known that he had thought that she would have to put her foot down on that line of thinking before he could finish it. She would make it clear that she wouldn't let anything happen, if that's what it took.)

(She quickly shakes her head.) None. I generally don't get those.

I am so excited!

[brokenweapon]

[That's good. Jason wouldn't wish his nightmares on anybody - the snippets of memory, or the drowning. That one's half terror dream, half memory, and it keeps him with a healthy respect for the sea.]

Good. You're lucky.

Really? :D Now, I'm really going to have work hard.

[reluctantaccessory]

Lucky? (She knows this will be tempting fate again but she gently places her head on his shoulder again.)

Maybe. (She frowns.) It makes it harder for me to help you.

Yaaaaaaay!

[brokenweapon]

[He gently places a hand on her head, stroking her hair.]

Don't worry about that.

Now I'm going to worry about messing up. >///<

[reluctantaccessory]

(That feels good to her and she nestles closer.)

Why shouldn't I worry about it? (She frowns at being told to not worry.) It's hard to watch you suffering with them.

It's going to be fine! I believe in you!

[brokenweapon]

[Jason resists the urge to shrug. Marie's head is on his shoulder, after all, and he doesn't want to displace her.]

It hurts enough to have them in the first place. And remembering. You shouldn't have to deal with that, too.

[reluctantaccessory]

(Marie pauses for a moment then shakes her head.) Shouldn't? You shouldn't have to deal with it by yourself.

(It comes out a bit more forceful than she had meant it to and she goes quiet after she realizes how her words sounded.)

[brokenweapon]

It's okay, [he says, and kisses her on the temple. Her fierce protectiveness of him is...sweet, actually, even if she can't protect him from the terrors of his own mind.

He's a killer. He's made his peace with that. But he chooses what he is going to be now, and maybe his pain will ease as he makes his new self. He can only hope.]

I may need help answering a couple parts, if you don't mind? /Sorry T.T

[reluctantaccessory]

(She shuts her eyes when he kisses her and tries to relax, though she feels a little disappointed by being told that it was okay.)

(After a few moments of silence.) I want to help, what can I do?

TO THE RESCUE

[brokenweapon]

Be here, [he says immediately,] just be here. I'll take care of the rest. I can handle anything, as long as you're with me.

Re: And it's all done and stuff. OMG OMG. *animal crossing nervous emoting.*

[reluctantaccessory]

Just being here? I can do that, but...are you sure that's all? (She opens her eyes and makes a face, but she nods showing that she understands. She just has one thought she has to add to that) I know you can handle things, but I don't want to be in the way either.

aaaaaaa I'm so excited!!!

[brokenweapon]

I'm sure, [he says. That's all he could ever ask of her. He's already asked so much.]

You're smart. You know how to survive, you know how to live in this world I dragged you into. You couldn't be in my way.

Same! I wanna get started so badly.

[reluctantaccessory]

(She nods again. She frowns a little bit when he begins to speak again, though she finds herself half smiling after a moment. She finds herself joking and the slight smile turns into a little bit of a mischievous one.) Stop, you're going to make me embarrassed with all those compliments.

(She goes serious again.) I think I still could. There's a lot I don't know and I still make mistakes.

SOON.

[brokenweapon]

[Her joke makes him smile a little bit, which is rare for him, but not half so rare around her. But when her mood sobers, so does his.]

Then I'll keep teaching you. I'll help you.

What is this soon we're speaking of? Tomorrow, I hope.

[reluctantaccessory]

(She tries to smile when he says that and manages a tiny one, though it only lasted for a few moments. It would be nicer if he didn't have to, but she can settle for feeling a little more useful for right now.)

I want to start with keeping myself awake longer.
