John woke up, grunting slightly as he dragged his head up from the pillow. What time was it? He reached for his watch, squinting as he looked at the clocks face. It was early in the afternoon... Maybe Gen had just let him sleep? It wasn't like he had been sleeping terribly well lately. Not since the incident with Higgs. Not since that strange feeling swept across the whole station and flickered out. Having Gen stay with him certainly helped. It kept him a little calmer and gave him something else to focus on. Someone else. And so when they had went to bed together the night before, John just must have slept longer than he had intended.
Dragging himself out of bed, he yawned and stretched before going off to get a shower and a change of clothes. Once he was washed, he brushed his teeth and fixed his hair before changing into his usual garb. A white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows, a dark red tie, black trousers and a simple pair of black shoes. He was a bit annoyed that he had lost his favourite pair to the tar, along with one of his favourite coats. Still, he could have lost his life and that would have been far worse... He didn't want to think of what was going to happen to his soul when he died, especially in another universe.
Wandering into the living room, he lit up a cigarette. Seeing Gen, his dreary look faded away, turning into a warm and welcoming smile.
"I take it you didn't have the heart to wake me up then?" he teased, walking over to the kitchen area to make coffee. "How did you sleep, love?" he asked, switching the coffee maker on before walking over to her to offer a kiss.
