[ he wishes he weren't sick, and he'll definitely feel intensely guilty about it later, but for now it feels worth it. they'll take care of each other, like she said, because it's what they do. he just wishes it wouldn't have happened right now out of all the times it could have happened.
or maybe this is the only time it could have, because he feels a little less like the person he is now, and more like just a regular guy, sick on the couch, his head all fuzzy and mellowed out.
maybe it isn't fair that he doesn't want to talk or think, but she seems perfectly content with her lips pressed back against his as well, and again he parts his lips to sweep his tongue in against hers, kissing her slow and deep, because he finally gets to. ]
[She doesn't mind that he doesn't want to talk, it seems that lately they've talked about so many serious things that it's nice to be able to just relax into one another. To touch and feel and speak to one another without using words.
When he sweeps his tongue against hers she moans and tilts her head slightly, allowing him to deepen the kiss even more. She keeps the one hand buried in his curls, tugging at them slightly, while her other hand goes around to caress his back and shoulders. Feeling the curve and swell of his muscles, god he's just so wonderful feeling...]
[ they talk a lot. they really do. and then they have all the moments in between that Jason has found just as comforting. he's not sure what category this'll fall into, but he doesn't want to freak out about it now. he doesn't want to overthink it. he simply wants to be in this moment with her now, enjoying what he's held himself back from for weeks now, it seems.
her hands feel good on him- in his hair, sliding over his skin. he wants to lay here kissing her like this and holding her against him for as long as he can. ]
[She keeps kissing him for as long as she can until she finally has to pull back for a moment to catch her breath, she tilts her head down and nuzzles his neck, wanting and needing to keep this connection going. She can feel her body being flooded with a dozen different emotions but all of them are wonderful and make her feel incredibly warm.]
Oh Jason...you feel so lovely.
[She sighs and uses the arm around his back and shoulders to pull herself tighter against him.]
[ He doesn't want to stop kissing her, but he needs to take a breath too. He feels dizzy from the kiss, but also from the way he's been feeling too, and yet it's fine, he feels good. His body is so desperate for this kind of touch. He doesn't want to let go. ]
You feel incredible.
[He says so quietly, eyes closing as she draws herself closer to him and nuzzles into his neck. His arms slide around her as tightly as they can, just holding her like this as if she might somehow drift away now that they've stopped kissing.]
[Incredible. Yes that's really the word to describe all this and she makes a soft pleased sound when he slides his strong arms around her and holds her tightly. It feels so good to have him hold her like this at last, they've hugged but this is an embrace, full of warm comfort but also desire and she squeezes him back.]
[ That soft, pleased sound Dawn makes blossoms inside of him, and no matter how sick he may be, he knows this is good. It's better than anything he's felt in a long time.
but then of course he starts coughing and he tries to turn away from her so he doesn't end up coughing into her neck. ]
[She says, smiling softly and loosening her grip so he can turn away and cough.] Do you need another lozenge? I can also make you some throat coat tea if you want.
[She waits for his coughing to subside and then shifts her body down a bit so she can rest her head in the hollow of his neck, wrapping an arm around his waist.]
I kinda want to lay here with you right now, too. [She pauses and gives him a small squeeze.] This feels really nice.
[ There's a lot of anxiety with what they did just now, but his brain is hazy enough to be able to shove it away and he wraps his arms back around her as well, quiet for a minute before he drops a kiss into her hair. ]
[She smiles and nuzzles his neck gently, feeling relieved and happy to hear that he thinks it feels nice as well.]
Good. I'm glad.
[She goes quiet but it's a comfortable kind of silence and she just lays there, enjoying the feeling of being in his arms and listening to his heart beat.]
[ He closes his eyes, breathing slowly and carefully so he doesn't start coughing again, but mostly because he knows he needs to calm his fast beating heart. This was a lot. It was big, and he doesn't even know where to go from here.
In this quiet space they're sharing right now he tries not to think that far. He's so comfortable with her here in his arms. ]
[She can hear that his heart is beating fast and she slides one of her hands onto his chest, placing it over his heart so she can feel it as well. It feels like it's been so long since she's felt someone's heart beat this fast because of her and it sends a little thrill down her spine.]
[ He hopes it's not strange, or too much. He hopes she doesn't feel worried about how he's feeling either.
Eventually with her hand over his heart it slows down to a comfortable pace... and as much as he wants to stay in this moment, he's so comfortable and also so worn out, that eventually he starts to drift off despite it all. ]
[She can feel when he starts to drift off towards sleep, his breathing becoming deeper and more even and she smiles to herself and stays exactly where she is. She's perfectly happy to stay in his arms while he sleeps, he needs lots of rest, after all he's sick. She'll make him tea when he wakes up and while she's thinking about what she could make him for dinner she also falls asleep.]
[ He sleeps... and sleeps and sleeps because for once he's comfortable enough to, but once the meds start wearing off his temperature starts going up again and the nightmares set in.
They're always worse now than they were before. He has a lot more on his conscience. But with Dawn surrounding him it's not so violent and unsettled around him.]
[Slowly she starts to drift up from her sleep when she hears Jason softly moaning, she blinks her eyes sleepily as she tries to figure out where she is but then she feels his arms around her and she remembers. She's with Jason, on the couch, and things are good.
Well....sort of.
She lifts her head up and sees that he's looking sweaty again and is having what seems to be a restless sleep so she very carefully starts to try and get up so she can get him more medicine.]
[ Her movement jars him awake quickly, and he's not used to waking next to anyone so he's quick to yank himself away from her, trying to back away from the situation, but there's nowhere to go in the small confines of the couch, making him feel trapped, especially with the blankets tucked all around them.
He's just about ready to lunge forward and attack when he realizes where he is and who he's with, and he presses himself against the back of the couch, trying to catch his breath. ]
[When he startles awake her reflexes are quick enough to help her avoid getting smacked in the face by his flailing limbs and when he shoves himself against the back of the couch she reaches out to put a hand on his chest.]
Shhhhh, it's okay. It's just me. [Her voice is soft and reassuring.] It feels like your fever is back, I was just going to get you more Advil to take to bring it down again.
[ He's thankful for her reflexes because he'd feel absolutely fucking terrible if he had hit her or hurt her in any way. He tenses hard when she puts a hand on his chest, but then he tries to focus on the feel of it to slow his breath. ]
Sorry. Fuck. I'm sorry. I was having a- you know. A nightmare. I feel like I'm burning up.
[And then her words settle into his brain too and yeah, that's what she said, isn't it. His fever is back.]
You don't have to apologize, it's okay. [She says and then looks at his face and gets up from the couch, hurrying into the kitchen to grab him some ice water and more Advil.]
Here take these. [She says and gives him the pills, she then looks at the nest he's made on the couch and decides it would be smarter in the long run to move him to her bed.]
After you take those we're going to move to my room okay?
[Not okay, he wants to say, but he stops himself once she gets up and hurries away. He takes that moment to try to reel his shit back in, to uncurl from the blankets and himself.
When she comes back he takes the pills from her and drinks them down, then wipes at his forehead, looking at her again. He feels fuzzy in his head, but he remembers what happened before this. There's no way he can forget.]
[She says and then goes into her bedroom, pulling back the covers and shifting the pillows around to create a new cozy set up for him. She then returns to the living room and sits down to wrap an arm around his waist.]
Feel free to put your arm around my shoulder while we walk to my room. I don't want you falling over.
And after you're set up there I'm going to start warming up some soup for us. You might not feel hungry right now but you need to eat once those pills bring your fever down again.
[ He nods, closing his eyes as she goes off into her bedroom, all up until she comes back and then they flutter open again to look at her. He feels pathetic again but she doesn't care about that kind of thing and he knows it, so he lets himself lean into her, putting an arm around her shoulder.
Another nod, and he tries to go for a look of thanks as well, but all he does is lean as she helps him stand up, and he's grateful he has her by his side. ]
