*complete, 2012 11, character: april kepner, character: eliot spencer, dead: nathan ford

RP: Eliot/April/Nate
Who: Eliot/April/Nate
When: 11-19-12 PM
Where: On the road
Summary: They've stopped for the night and Eliot makes a confession.

Travel was pretty boring. April and Nate took turns driving. They listened to the radio. Nate and April used the 'net on their phones and April made lists on her laptop. They napped. They filled up on gas and ate cheap lunches. They stopped around dinner time for the night, as soon as a pet-friendly hotel was located. They got up the next morning, grabbed breakfast, and got on the road again. Eliot began seeing things...

He hadn't told the other two that his vision was starting to return, not so much from being afraid to jinx it but he didn't want to get April's hopes up. But by Monday night, there was no doubt that he could actually see. Not clearly, but it was definitely happening.

He waited until they'd eaten and returned to the hotel room before broaching the subject. April was repacking Cody's food dish and Nate had parked himself on one of the double beds with the television remote, flipping though channels.

Eliot rubbed the back of his neck before making the announcement. "Hey, just so you two know, I can see again. Sort of."

"Oof, you're getting heavy, woman," Eliot teased, pretending to start to drop her. He snugged her back into place. "It's probably because I still can use my other vision. If I glare, it triggers it. I've been told I glare a lot, so it won't look suspicious when I do."

He smiled at her. Even close up, she looked like a fuzzy peach with dark fuzzy hair. "You know, I don't really remember what you look like. You've been this gorgeous skeletal creature for so long now."

"Hey, that's not what you tell your pregnant wife," April said, slapping him on the arm. "I thought Savannah had taught you all the right things to say when she was still alive." She really did miss Savannah. If she'd been alive, she would probably not have agreed to leave.

"You don't remember?" April said. "I remember perfectly what your eyes looked like," she said. "And if you don't believe me you can look at your old conformers and see how similar to your eyes they are."

She kissed him. "You are so lucky you're married to me. So many women would be insulted at that. Just remember that you called me doctor beautiful before you lost your eyesight." Although the thought made her nervous. What if he didn't really think that she was all that beautiful when he could see her again?

"Yeah, she did, but she's not my wife and it says in the marriage contract that I'm allowed to tease my wife all I want," Eliot said. He was relaxed enough with her to actually do it, as opposed to speaking with Savannah and Jenna when he'd just been stating facts albeit bluntly.

"You've always been Doctor Beautiful," Eliot said, smoothing his hand over her hair. "I have an image, but I don't know how accurate it is. Don't matter to me none. I fell for you the person, not your looks."

	"Does it say in the marriage contract that teasing might lead to repercussions?" April teased right back, though as Eliot continued the teasing smile turned into a look of pure joy. "Nice save," she said, though her voice was filled with love as well as happiness. She truly did have the best husband in the world. (Reply to this) (Parent)
