[Tuesday Morning]

[theillbeatknight]

Characters: John Peixes and David Strider
Format: Action
This log is: closed
Location: Fortitude's infirmary
Summary: John wakes up after being in a coma for two days. David has hardly left his side.
Warnings: Fluff and falling asleep during hugs.

[On Sunday afternoon, John fell asleep and didn't wake up. With his Player asleep, David's own Weapon couldn't be drawn. So on Monday, with neither a Weapon nor a weapon, he knew that if the fiery bird approached he could do little against it.

Still, David stayed awake through the night in case another monster appeared in the city. But it had remained quiet; now, a few hours since the sun had risen, the peacefulness (and his own incessant yawning) were starting to convince him to sleep.]

No one, so far as I know, but I've hardly been out there while waiting for you to awaken.

At your side, but only last night was I awake the entire time.

[kingdomsgambit]

That's a relief.

You... shouldn't have. But I appreciate it. Your friendship means a lot to me, Dave.

[ He smiles at him and reaches for Dave's hand on his arm. ]

[If David had been in his own world, on his own section of the timeline, he'd have hugged John right then. But this wasn't yet the John who would ambush him in empty halls and then tease him if he pulled away from contact.

...but no, this was still John.

David closed the short distance between them with a hug.]

[ John chuckled when David hugged him. He returned the embraced, cheeks coloring slightly. ]

If sleeping for an unreasonable amount of time can extract a hug from you, then I daresay I should do it more often.
