Room 406, Friday Evening

[blessed_twice]

The cure to the plague didn't fix exhaustion, but orbing himself and Isabel back to the dorms after they'd had the tea would be less taxing than walking. Or so Wyatt reasoned. However, when they appeared in Isabel's room, his knees buckled and he swayed dizzily, holding on to Isabel for support.

"You bonehead," Isabel said, wrapping her arms even tighter around Wyatt as she tried to hold him upright. "I told you we should have walked."

[blessed_twice]

"Quicker this way," Wyatt insisted. "Too tired to walk."

"I know. You're exhausted." From healing everyone multiple times and from the effects of the illness, something she'd realized just about the time the tea became available.

With a gentle tug, Isabel pulled him towards the bed. "Come on. You need to get some sleep."

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt resisted, just a little. "I think I need a shower first," he said.

"Do you really think you can handle it?" she asked, nuzzling his shoulder. "Or are you going to fall asleep in there?"

[blessed_twice]

"Just don't wanna get in your bed all dirty," Wyatt yawned.

Isabel felt rather ick herself and the thought of a hot shower and then climbing into bed to sleep for days was rather tempting. "I'd rather see you sleep. I can do laundry tomorrow. But it's up to you."

[blessed_twice]

"Sleep is good," Wyatt mumbled against her shoulder, easily convinced for once.

"Now you listen to me?" she murmured, rolling her eyes as she tugged on his shirt.

But he had a point. As tempting as a shower sounded, Isabel could feel herself running down quickly as the last of the adrenaline rush brought about by the cure started to fade.

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt stretched his arms up over his head to make said shirt removal easier. "Your turn," he said, reaching for her shirt.

"I thought you were tired," Isabel laughed softly. She unbuttoned the top button with clumsy fingers.

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt took over the unbuttoning process, slowly undoing the top button, then the next, then the next. "Never too tired for this," he said, pushing the shirt off her shoulders and dipping his head to kiss her bare shoulder.

"What's the line?" she asked, dropping her head against his shoulder. "The spirit is willing? But the flesh is weak?"

[blessed_twice]

"Mmmm," Wyatt agreed, wrapping his arms around her. "I think I can only manage snuggling. But that sounds better than anything right now."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"God yes," Isabel agreed, leaning into him with a sigh. "In a minute I'll actually move. And get us stuff to sleep in. I just need to work up the energy."

[blessed_twice]

"I could fall asleep right here," Wyatt said, holding her close.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"We'd fall over. And go boom." Isabel couldn't help but giggle at that mental picture.

Reluctantly, she pushed him down to sit on the edge of the bed, then went to root through her dresser, returning a moment later with the sleep pants she'd gotten Wyatt and a nightshirt for herself. "Here. Comfy clothes for you."

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt kicked off his shoes and pulled off his pants and socks, then pulled on the sleep pants. Modesty? Nah.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Too focused on removing her bra and jeans and getting the nightshirt on, Isabel didn't really notice Wyatt getting changed.

And if you believed that, would you be interested in a bridge in Brooklyn?

Smiling bemusedly, Isabel took care of the lights, then stood next to the edge of the bed. "Hi..."

[blessed_twice]

"Hi," Wyatt said, taking her in his arms again and hugging her. Certain parts of his anatomy started to stir, then the rest of his body told it to shut the hell up.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Sleep now?" she asked, smoothing a hand down his back. The bed looked incredibly inviting.

[blessed_twice]

"Sleep," Wyatt agreed. He pulled her with him as he sat down on the edge of the bed, then moved to lie down.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel was pretty much glued to his side, following him down to stretch out on the bed. "Grab the blankets?" she murmured sleepily.

[blessed_twice]

"Blankets," Wyatt said with a wave of his hand, pulling them over their bodies with his TK. He snuggled up against Isabel, arm wrapped around her stomach.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Nice," Isabel whispered, burrowing into his side. Residual worry from the week had her wanting to be as close as possible.

Turning her head for a moment, she kissed his cheek. "G'nig..."

Her voice trailed off as exhaustion finally won and Isabel fell asleep.

[blessed_twice]

"Night," Wyatt murmured as he drifted off to sleep as well.
