Hey handsome.

The words are signed even as she gives John a soft smile. They’d decided to stay in for the day, mainly because she didn’t have work and they needed the time alone anyway. Julian was off checking on his boss or working, she wasn’t entirely sure. Davina was off being Davina, more than likely. Madeline had made sure they had breakfast but after that she’d left them alone. To sleep or just enjoy how comfortable the bed was.

While her boyfriend slept, she’d read a little bit. Now that he was awake, she reaches over and runs her fingers through his hair. He looked a lot better than he had when all this dream bullshit had gone on. Then again, she took care of him too and wouldn’t let anyone else do so. Not now that she could be near him and not worry about getting sick. Leaning forward she kisses the tip of his nose and then leans back a bit.

Want to get out for a bit? Before we become vampires from the lack of sun.

I don’t think that’s how vampires are made, John retorts with a laugh. She had a point though. They’d been stuck inside for days. Well, he’d slipped out with Nathaniel, but even then he hadn’t exactly been outside. No longer than it took to go from one place to the next.

Now, though, he was feeling much better. Stronger, recovered from the torture his dream self had suffered before he’d escaped back to the drop ship camp. Before he’d gotten sick. The sickness had run its course through him pretty quickly, just as it had in the dream. That was, at least, a small mercy.

But yes. We should go out. Get some sunshine and fresh air.

No, I don't think so either. I mean I've done some research on that.

She can't help but give a small smile to the whole conversation. They were just being downright silly. They'd been staying inside, after all. The only time that John hadn't was when he'd gone off with his ex-boyfriend. Raven knew she had nothing to worry about, but that had upset her a bit. Especially since her boyfriend should've never left the house.

Honestly? Raven was happy to know that John was feeling better, stronger. That he was recovering just fine. Between Madeline and Daryl feeding them, being taken care of by Octavia and just taking care of each other they were both fine.

She leans in and kisses his lips before stretching out a little. That requires us to get out of bed, cleaned up and dressed. But we should totally do it.

I think we need a shower. Preferably together, but he wasn’t going to push the issue on that. They’d both just been through the wringer. He wasn’t really in a mood to do anything more than actually shower in the shower, but he definitely needed to clean up before he put on clean clothes and considered going out into the world.

You want to join me, or… he left it open ended. Either way was fine with him, really.

There wasn't a lie in that statement. They both needed a shower before they could head out into the world. Last thing they needed to do was going out as they were. That just wouldn't do for either of them. By the time they got home, Madeline would probably have all the rooms cleaned up too.

Mmhm. I plan to join you. It would actually save some water and keep the bill down a bit too. Not that she was too terribly worried about the water bill, but her and John tended to think about odd and end things. This? It was one of them. So, she could handle showering with him.

Then we'll get dressed and head out.

John nods. It wasn’t even a matter of trying to keep the water bill down. He enjoyed sharing the shower with her, and not that he expected either one of them to have any trouble, but considering neither could hear if the other called out, it was better they were together, since they were both still getting over being sick. He leads the way to the bathroom and turned on the water. It would heat up while they undressed and set towels out.

Where did you want to go? He asks, then checks the water temp before stepping into the shower. It felt damn good to have the water cascading down on his body.

That was one thing that seemed to be a constant for them. Doing everything together because they couldn't hear if either was needed. Besides, if they hollered out then it was bound to get Julian or Davina's attention. Something that she didn't need. Neither did John.

She gives a small smile as everything is set out, as he checks the temperature of the water. Slipping into shower with him, she tilts her head back for a moment before looking towards him. What place haven't we visited in a while?

John shrugged. There were a lot of places they hadn’t been for a while. There were a lot of places he didn’t care to go, really, and some that he did. The question was really asking him where he did want to go, and that was something he needed to think about because as much as he wanted, say Mexican food, he knew he wasn’t up for that. His stomach probably couldn’t handle it, and he’d be better off to eat something a bit more bland for a few more days.

We could go to a museum, he suggested. They both enjoyed museums, learning about different things that were on display. It seemed like a good compromise since they were both getting over being terribly sick, and needed to play it safe a bit longer.

Shrugging didn't really help her any where the answer was concerned. This, however, didn't really bother her any. She'd probably have the same reaction if it had been him to ask her where they hadn't visited lately. Honestly, they'd been all over the OC throughout their years. So, it was definitely a matter of where they hadn't gone.

She gives him a bit of a smile. The museum sounds good. We just need to finish getting cleaned up and dressed first. If he mentioned that they needed to play it safe, she'd definitely agree.

I was thinking of going out like this. He gestures at himself, and grins at her. Obviously he wasn't going to go anywhere without clothes on, and neither would she. He shut off the water and gestures for her to step out of the shower first. He followed and got their towels to dry off, handing one to her.

You do and there are people who will get hurt.

Though, she knew good and well that he wouldn't go out like that. Neither of them would go out in their birthday suits, that was crazy. Besides, last thing they needed was to get in trouble for indecent exposure or some other crap like that. No need to spend a night in jail, more like it.

Stepping out of the shower, she takes the offered towel and starts drying off. Should I wear jeans and a t-shirt or a sundress? It wasn't very often that she wore a dress of any sort, but she figured she'd ask.

He definitely wasn't going out of the house without clothes. That was just silly talk. He had never been extremely self conscious about his body, but with the scars his dreams were giving him, he was feeling a bit more guarded about it all. Not with Raven, of course, but he didn't really want anyone else seeing just how his dreams were attacking him.

I don't know, but I'm not wearing a sundress. Maybe you should. He rarely saw her wearing a dress of any kind. It just wasn't usually her style. But she did have a cute sundress that he liked. Of course he liked to see her in a dress, period. He'd be lying if he said he didn't.

There were a lot of times that Raven wanted to stab whoever had hurt John. Only problem with that? It was in the dreams and she hadn't been in them. She wasn't even sure who had given him those scars either. Other than what he'd explained to them. Though, she tries not to think too much about it. It was something she couldn't do anything about.

You'd rock a dress, though. She teases before kissing him and after drying off moving back into the bedroom. Bra and panties come first before she moves over to the closet, pulling out the white flowery sundress. This one or the blue one? Probably two of the only dresses that she owned.

He just makes a face at her when she says he'd rock a dress. He probably would, that was true. But that didn't mean he was going to give it a try.

He signs the word 'blue' because as she knows, blue is his favorite color. He'll always choose the blue one when given a choice between two colors. But you'd look stunning in either one. he adds, because she would. She's just gorgeous no matter what, even in jeans and a T-shirt.

She almost makes the jab that if Octavia asked him to wear a dress, then he would. Raven doesn't do that, though. No matter how amusing it was that the younger Blake could get him to do just abouta anything she wanted. The joys of being a teenager, she guessed.

Placing the white sundress back in the closet, she pulls out the blue one and slips into before doing a little twirl. More for his benefit than her own. Raven does, however, grab comfortable shoes to go with the sundress and smiles. Now, it's your turn.

She wasn't wrong. Octavia could get him to wear anything, from skirts to kohl around his eyes, to bright red lipstick.

He, somewhat typically, chooses jeans and a blue shirt to match her sundress. He dresses quickly, and sits down to put on socks and shoes. You look amazing, he signed, paired with an appreciative smile. Never mind that he would say she looked stunning no matter what she was wearing.

	You'd say that even if I was wearing nothing but a plastic bag, she signs back, but there's a smile there that lights up her eyes. Though, after he's dressed she looks him up and down for moment. It brings out your eyes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Or nothing at all, he winked. But it was true. She'd look amazing to him in anything she chose to wear, because her beauty wasn't in the clothes she wore, but in her sou. In everything she was. She was so much more than his girlfriend, she was his best friend, his soul mate. He loved her inside and out. Let's go conquer the world. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You like me in nothing at all, she tells him with a bit of a smirk. Honestly, John never said anything bad about what she chose to wear. He might disagree with some of the color choices, but not how it looked on her. There was a bit of a difference there.

Moving over she grabs his hand and leads him out of the bedroom, downstairs and towards the front door. World, here we come.
