John drove down to the cave and got suited up. The new one Fox had created for him was perfect. It was a snug fit but he was still able to move around.

The reason why John was suiting up tonight was because he'd heard a rumor about something going down in the city, so he thought he'd check it out. It could be nothing, but he wanted to be on the safe side. It was something about dreamshare. John couldn't find much other than it was a military training program but got shut down after losing its funding.

"Yeah." He turned his head to kiss her cheek and then closed his eyes.

[inyourdreams]

She closed her eyes too, hoping she'd fall back to sleep easily.

[gcpd]

About three hours later, he turned off his alarm and got up to go take a shower.

[inyourdreams]

She woke up as well and checked on her ankle. The swelling looked a little better, but she was going to have a hard time walking on it for a bit. Maybe she could get the concierge to find her some crutches.

She hopped on one foot to the kitchenette area and started them a pot of coffee before collapsing on the couch and putting her foot up on the coffee table.

John came back out about twenty minutes later. "Did you order breakfast yet?"

[inyourdreams]

"No," she said shaking her head. "I'm not really hungry. But feel free to order something for yourself."

[gcpd]

"Okay." He went into the bedroom to phone in something for breakfast before getting dressed.

[inyourdreams]

She turned on the TV to some mindless morning show and zoned out, feeling her ankle throb.

"Can you get me some more pain killers when you get the chance?" she asked.

[gcpd]

"Sure," he said as he came back in. He sat down next to her. He was almost afraid to touch her.

[inyourdreams]

She took the pills from him and downed them with some water.

"Thank you," she said before she leaned her head against his shoulder.

[gcpd]

He looked down at her worriedly before putting on a calm mask. "When I'm at work, call me if you need anything, okay?"

[inyourdreams]

She nodded against his shoulder.

"I will," she said. "I'll just be staying put today."

[gcpd]

"Good." He kissed her head.

[inyourdreams]

She turned so she could press her lips to his.

"Are you nervous for your first day?" she asked.

[gcpd]

"Yes," he said as he looked at her.

[inyourdreams]

"You'll be fine," she said with a smile. "It can't be harder than being a cop."

[gcpd]

"True, but I don't want to leave you in this condition."

[inyourdreams]

"Don't worry about me," she said, waving him off. "It's not the first time I've sprained my ankle."

[gcpd]

"Okay, okay. But seriously, if you need anything - if you need someone to pick up something that fell on the floor, don't hesitate to give me a call."

[inyourdreams]

She huffed out a laugh.

"I think my arms still work," she said. "Besides, I doubt you're supposed to be getting a lot of personal calls at work."

[gcpd]

"Like I said, I'm worried about you." He remembered that she had a gun, but still.

[inyourdreams]

"I know," she said. "But there's no reason to. I'm not even going to leave the room. How much trouble could I possibly get in to?"

[gcpd]

A lot, he wanted to say. "Okay I won't pester you anymore."

[inyourdreams]

"Thank you," she said and leaned in to kiss him again. "Your concern is cute though. It's nice to know someone cares."

[gcpd]

"Of course I care. What kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't?"
