John had gotten as settled as he was able. He had a cabin, he'd been debriefed by a man with the most intensely blue eyes he'd ever seen, and he'd figured out a little bit of the etiquette. Like only smoking in designated areas.
He'd found a designated area and had a beer he'd replicated. Synthohol was the worst, but it was the best he could hope for so he drank his beer and had his smoke and admire the stars projected on the ceiling.
He heard the door open and looked over at who was coming in and his heart nearly stopped.
"Fawn," he said quietly and stood up.
After the faerie and the nurse, he knew this was going to hurt.

Date: 2021-07-13 01:44 am (UTC)John completely disregarded the telly and shifted completely to face him.
"I think you're amazing," he said. "And you have so many talents. They've kept you alive, but now you can have a bit of freedom to explore what you actually like. And there's no limit to exploring," John smiled.

Date: 2021-07-13 02:17 am (UTC)"I feel like I do. I feel it in my chest. And my belly. And it's you. Memories, too...but this isn't a memory, Fawn. I feel...drawn to you."
He couldn't explain it better, not in any way Fawn would understand.

Date: 2021-07-13 08:49 pm (UTC)Fawn felt it too, but he was so unused to forming relationships that it made him squirm a little.
"You are weird," he said finally, flopping against him.

Date: 2021-07-13 09:03 pm (UTC)Shocked silent for a moment, John ultimately scoffed.
"You are," he accused.

Date: 2021-07-14 02:10 am (UTC)"Fine. I'll be weird if you be amazing," he smiled, pulling him in close. He'd lost the line of the story, but he didn't really care. Anything could be on the telly, he had Fawn close.
