Who: Rose and Gar... of the future
What: Waking up together
Where: Gar's place

Rose was woken by the faint wail of an ambulance in the distance, and not by Gar's loud snoring in her ear. In the moments before consciousness fully returned, there was a peaceful early morning haze that filled the room. Not even his snoring could break it. Rose stretched languidly and forgot that it'd been decades since she'd last done this. For a few minutes, it didn't ache to be in the past. Later on, Rose would appreciate this the most.

Inhaling deeply, she shifted closer to him, gently laying the side of her face across his bare chest. Slowly, she opened her eyes and took in the sight of an old, familiar room and green skin that she'd thought she'd never see again. She smiled a small smile and ignored the voice in the back of her head that told her this wouldn't last.

Before her thoughts could grow too dark, Rose raised a hand and let it trail across Gar's stomach. Her nails barely grazed the skin there. If she remembered his ticklish spots right, he'd wake up laughing. She waited, breathing silently.

"I promise." Whether it was even possible to promise such a thing, Gar wasn't sure. He didn't care. Rose mattered enough to bend the laws of time and space and physics and good manners, if he could work a way into it. "But honestly, ten years from now, I'll probably be living in Hollywood or Paris or some place with famous people, drinking expensive champagnes. No time for phones when I'm drinking expensive champagnes."

Gar did wonder why it mattered, but Rose occupied a part of his brain where he trusted her unconditionally, a part occupied mostly by Teen Titans and Keanu Reeves, who was a dreamboat. "So, you don't know off the top of your head if there's anything I could say to Rose of the Past to get her to think a little more in your vein, eh?"

"Thank you," she nodded. The smiled she smiled this time was a little more real. In one swift movement, she brought his hand to her mouth and kissed the heel. And then, looking thoughtful, she paused. "I'm not sure there is anything you can say or do. I don't remember everything all that well. I just know I was scared. I didn't know how to deal with my immortality and commitment just seemed so..." she scoffed, "From my point of view it's so stupid. But to a younger version of myself, it makes perfect sense."

She looked at Gar. "I've always loved you, you know. Even when I didn't say it or was with someone else."

"I'll try to keep that in mind, too. 'Hey, Rosie, I'm back from the past. You from a hundred years later was there too. She told me to tell you to bang me because your commitment issues are nonsense.' Maybe I'll just go ahead and keep that one to myself." He smirked, too bolstered by Rose's love to be bitter.

"I know this is going to end soon, and it'll just be a dude with a girlfriend too young for him who should really stop trying to turn his green balls blue, but if I knew for sure we were going to be here tomorrow, I'd probably ask you to marry me right now."

"Gar..." Rose's voice was thin and low. She had things to say, but she just couldn't bring herself to say them. It would be a miracle if her throat would even work for her with the lump forming there. Marrying Gar had been the sort of thing she'd dreamed about once she'd lost him. To have him there with her now and almost have the chance was just a little too much to process. Vision blurred by fresh tears, Rose slid forward, into his lap.

When she kissed him this time, it was quite like the sort of kisses she'd given him the night before. There was ravenous hunger for him that showed in the desperate way she held onto him, how her mouth molded against his. Last night, her kisses had been faster. Now, she was slow and thorough.

I guess that would have been a yes, he thought, smiling against Rose's lips. He was tempted to make some wry comment, but years of study had given him a deep understanding of Rose. The way her fingers gripped him, the subtle grinding against him, even the smell in the air made verbal communication crude and inutile compared to what their bodies were already telling each other.

Rose had been, perhaps, less familiar with Gar's body the night before, and Gar had been distracted somewhat by the new scars and marks that her lifetime had inflicted upon her. But now, they moved without thinking, familiarity and passion and love blending into their movements. Gar's fingers tangled in Rose's hair, Rose's fingernails bit deep into Gar's shoulder.

They would probably find excuses to stay in bed all day, taking advantage of a second chance long overdue. But right now, there was no "all day." There was no later. There was only Gar and Rose and the groaning protest of a mattress used to only one body in it.
