It was a long slow morning, spent in each other’s arms, that stretched pleasantly into the early afternoon. Rand was snuggled up against Roman, head on his shoulder and an arm wrapped around him. They were relaxed back against the pillows watching another The Librarian movie and discussing whether to get food early or wait awhile.

There was a soft knock at the door and when they answered it was Randy. He relaxed a little when he saw Roman was awake. “When neither of you paged me I was worried the tranquilizer I gave you was too strong and you were still asleep.”

For Roman it had been a long, slow, relaxing morning. A nice change after the recent stress. He was cuddled into Rand, an arm around her and holding her hand with his other one as they watched the movie. When Randy opened the door, he tensed a little under Rand, but still seemed calm. “No, no. It was fine. We were just… Carried away with something else.” Kissing. They were carried away kissing. Roman preferred that. He just didn’t want to know.

Randy’s brows went up, he could only imagine…no he did not want to imagine what they were carried away with. But just because he could, in his sweetest most endearing big brother voice, “Rand, did you get anymore rest after last night?” He looked at Roman, “She said the meds didn’t work last night. She didn’t get the full dose. I’d like to check the hypo and make sure it’s working correctly.” Then he looked back at Rand, “You look like you feel better. You must have gotten rest, yeah?”

He was teasing her, he knew she had not been sleeping. Rand buried her face in Roman’s shoulder and groaned.

Rand

Roman nodded, opened the bedside drawer, and passed Randy the hypo. “I know she didn’t. She had dreams.” When Rand hid her face against him, Roman hugged her and grinned. “It was relaxing, at least.”
