The World: Vacation

Tarot - The World

Vacation

The headaches from over exertion were almost worth the pleasure of being fussed over by Daniel. He slept a lot, but every time he awoke Daniel was there, with soup or fresh fruit or a cup of tea. Helping him eat, change, bathe, with amazing patience. He brought the paper in every morning, sitting beside him in bed and reading aloud the news on the city's recuperation after the flood, everything that the people had accomplished, the changes that were being made. The city's triumph in the face of a perceived tragedy, overcoming the sorrow of the apparent death to become stronger. Their work wasn't over yet, John knew, but the city could survive on its own, now.

"You make a good nurse, doc," John said to him one day with a little smile as Daniel finished taking away the remains of breakfast. "Sure you're in the right line of work?"

The doctor gave a little chuckle, settling back into bed with him and curling up against him. "You must be feeling better, if your sense of humor is making a resurgence."

John kissed his hair, enjoying the closeness. "I have a very dedicated caretaker."

His lover gave a little contented sigh. "I think when you're feeling better we should have a bit of a vacation. The city is handling itself quite well. You deserve a break."

John smiled at the thought, fingers stroking through Daniel's hair. "I'm afraid we don't have much choice in the way of vacation destinations. But we could always take advantage of the roof...."

Daniel raised his head to look up at him, smile warm and promising. "I think that's the best idea I've heard all day."
