subjects are overrated, who needs them?

[ghostytrainer]

Who: John Egbert and Rose Lalonde (And introducing the new friend: Dave Strider)
Where: Vermilion City
When: 11/18/12
Summary: Rose wakes up from her spontaneous coma (canon update) and John takes her on a highly romantic date in a Dragonair gondola. Be jelly.
Rating: PG for language and teenage butt-touching.
Log:

Since this wasn't the first time it had happened and, overall, it was hardly a rare occurrence in this world, John hadn't been too terribly worried when Rose passed out the previous Sunday. He knew she'd be back up again in a week or so, though that still hadn't prevented him from spending more time inside the room than out. After all, what if she woke up early?

He was pretty sure that was a thing that could happen, so better safe than sorry!

But there was one thing that he did have to leave the room for that he just couldn't avoid and that was work. But it was honestly a good thing he had, because if he had called out? He probably wouldn't have been able to concoct the date plan he was currently waiting to put into motion. It just needed one last thing, and that was a conscious Rose.

Okay, well technically a conscious John as well. Because at around 8 in the morning, he was just as unconscious as Rose, lying next to her in the bed with an arm over her and Michael J. the Zorua nestled between them. Rose's face is covered in a variety of marker doodles, the most prominent being a proclamation of "i love butts." scrawled across her forehead. Though there's also some kitty whiskers and more than likely at least one penis because apparently Dave wanted to play too. Seems the boys got a little bored while Rose was unconscious.

Aaaa lazy Sundays. Aren't they great?

What if he licks her chin? Is that behaving? Can he have another raspberry now?

"Oh good. If that were the case, I am not sure if we could be together anymore. I mean you are already kind of a little old for a young guy like me."

He takes another bite of toast to try and hide the fact that he's smiling. HAHAHA FUNNY.

[tentacletrainer]

"Well be relieved. I am not any older. No need to worry about people judging you." She pets Michael aaand....gives him a raspberry.

[ghostytrainer]

"Don't you mean you don't have to worry about people judging you, miss cougar?"

[tentacletrainer]

"Well the problem there, John, is that I love you. I don't care what people think of me for that."

[ghostytrainer]

"Oh. Well then. No problem I suppose."

He can feel his cheeks grow a little hot from that comment, so he busies himself with looking down at his toast to take another bite. Major case of the warm fuzzies over here from the way she worded that. After he swallows that bite, he clears his throat and attempts to will the heat in his face away as he looks back over to Rose.

"So ah...ha. I am going to go out on a limb here and guess that you don't have any previous engagements for today, yes?"

[tentacletrainer]

Rose, meanwhile, props her chin on her hand and her elbow on the table, just smiling at him in admiration of that blush. When he speaks she raises her eyebrows, giving her head a little shake.

"I don't believe I do! Did you want to monopolize my time again?"

[ghostytrainer]

"Well maybe not monopolize it, but I did have a little something planned for later on. You know, if you're interested."

[tentacletrainer]

"Hmmmmm." She "thinks" long and hard. "I think I would be delighted to join you."

[ghostytrainer]

"Great! I would advise dressing warmly, since you know how it goes once the sun goes down. But that's all I am saying, so don't ask for any more details!"

It's a surpriiiiisssseeeeee!!

[tentacletrainer]

"But I didn't ask for any details to begin with."

[ghostytrainer]

"Well...okay, that's true. You didn't. But the point still stands! Even if you were to ask, you wouldn't get any. So there."

And with that, he finishes off the last of his toast.

[tentacletrainer]

She quickly follows suit, snorting at his comment. She is all sorts of amused by you, John.

[ghostytrainer]

"Anyway," He pushes away from the table, gathering up his own plates before moving to take Rose's as well. "I am sure everyone else would like to see you and know that you're okay now. Maybe catch up on future times or whatever. So I won't keep you." He gives her a quick peck on the cheek before moving back towards the kitchen, pausing in the doorway to finish his statement.

"Just meet me back here at five, okay?"

[tentacletrainer]

"Five. Alright."

AND GUESS WHAT AROUND FIVE O'CLOCK THERE SHE IS!!!!!!!!!

[ghostytrainer]

Wow look at that beautiful timeskip. Like holy shit, is it possible for a timeskip to be any more glorious and convenient? I think not.

John is also ready come five o'clock, sitting in the living room and fiddling with his gear as he waits for Rose. His pajamas have been replaced with a pair of dark jeans (you know, one of the pairs Rose picked out that's just a little tighter than he prefers) and a light green dress shirt. Instead of his typical worn and faded flame sneakers, he's wearing a sharp pair of shiny, black dress shoes.

By the time Rose arrives, Casey is putting the last touches on John's hair. Both she and her master are so absorbed in their respective tasks that they won't notice Rose until she says something.

[tentacletrainer]

Rose isn't too dressed up, just sporting a nice lavender skirt with a black turtle neck sweater but here she is! And she can't help but chuckle as she watches them.

"You look awfully sharp, John. I'm not under dressed, am I?"

[ghostytrainer]

John jumps a little, gear shutting with a sharp click as he looks up at the sound of Rose's voice. He doesn't answer immediately, instead opting to ogle admire her for a minute or so.

"No! Not at all, you look great. Not that that's anything new." He pockets his gear and gets to his feet, leaving Casey sitting on the couch. As he takes a few steps closer to Rose, he extends a hand, grinning. "Ready to go?"

[tentacletrainer]

She takes his hand, giving an overly relieved look. As if he would dump her or something should she not be up to snuff. "I was ready when you told me we'd be going somewhere, John." Hopefully he doesn't mind receiving a cheek kiss.

[ghostytrainer]

Does he ever mind? No. Of course not. This time is no different.

"Hold down the fort, Casey. We'll be back a little later, okay?"

The Lopunny squeaks in response, saluting John briefly before dissolving into giggles. This is incredibly silly. And with that, he leads Rose out of the hotel room and out into the hallway, closing the door behind them with a click before heading towards the elevator.

[tentacletrainer]

She follows, blowing Casey a little kiss and squeezing John's hand. "So, is this still a surprise? Am I still not allowed to inquire about where it is we're going?"

[ghostytrainer]

"Hmmm....well I guess you can ask now." He jams the button for the elevator, giving Rose's hand a return squeeze as they wait for the car.

[tentacletrainer]

"Alright, where are we going?" She leans on him a little while they wait, humming. She's a little taller than him - an inch or so - so it's starting to get a little awkward to do this, but no big deal for her. She's sure she'll stop growing eventually.

[ghostytrainer]

Not only that, but surely. Surely. He will soon begin growing and catch up to her. One inch, no big deal. That's nothing!

"It's a surpri~iiise!"

[tentacletrainer]

....he gets a snort and then a chuckle. "Oh, I see how you are."

[ghostytrainer]

"Hey, I said you could ask. I never said I would give you an answer that you wanted to hear!" He laughs as the elevator arrives with a ding, doors sliding open to let them inside. To the lobby they go!!
