Jonathan groaned, opening his eyes. The sunlight was flooding in through the window and partially blinding him.

He sat up and looked around him, spotting Jervis, who was still sleeping peacefully beside him. Suddenly, the memories of the previous night came flooding over him. He hollered, falling out of the bed with a dull 'Thump'. His face flushed an even deeper red when he realized he also had no clothes on.

Grumbling, he grabbed his clothes off of the floor and walked off towards the room's en-suite.

Jonathan stared at himself in the mirror. He still had large bags under his eyes but he felt pretty well rested. I wouldn't call last night resting… he thought, blushing again.

He sighed, spotting the shower. Well I might as well… He figured, besides, I really needed one anyway.

Jonathan stepped out of the bathroom, his normal Arkham outfit clinging to his body. He had a towel over his head, slightly obscuring his view, so he nearly jumped when Jervis spoke.

"Good morning, Jonathan." He said. Jonathan could practically hear the smile in his voice. He sighed; this might be a little awkward…

"…Good morning…" He said, not making eye contact. Jervis frowned.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." The coldness in his voice shocked Jervis into silence. He sat up, stretching his arms above his head.

He looked down and noticed his lack of a shirt and squeaked, pulling the blanket up to his neck. The small action warmed Jonathan's heart a little and he smiled, after all that happened last night and he's afraid to show his chest? He laughed quietly. Jervis' head shot up, glaring at him.

"W-what the hell's so funny?" He asked, blushing deeply. Jonathan shook his head.

"I'm going to go see if this place has any food, though I highly doubt it." He shrugged. "Your clothes are over here." He pointed to a pile of clothes that looked a lot more torn than they did when they first arrived. Jervis blushed again and nodded, waiting for Jonathan to leave the room.

Just as Jonathan was crossing the threshold of the door, Jervis called out for him. He turned back around.

"Yes?"

"Can you look for some tea while you're there" He asked. Jonathan smiled.

"Alright."

Why'd we have to pick such a goddamned old house? Jonathan thought angrily. There's nothing to eat here! He suddenly noticed a small box of Teabags.

Well at least Jervis will be happy… he grumbled, swiping the box off the shelf.

As Jonathan was grumbling to himself about having to go out and steal food, Jervis had walked into the kitchen and was laughing silently at Jonathan's bad temper.

"Did you find my tea?" He asked. Jonathan spun round, at first glaring but his features slowly melted away into surprise.

Jervis was leaning against the door frame, smiling gently. His hair was still wet from his shower so tiny droplets clung to the ends of his bangs, accentuated by the sunlight streaming in through the open window. Jonathan figured he must have looked like an idiot, standing with his mouth slightly agape, just staring dumbly. Jervis grinned, pushing himself off of the door and walking past Jonathan, who was still staring at the now empty doorway.

"Ooh! You did find tea!" He exclaimed, smiling brightly, "Thank you, Jonathan!" Jonathan shook his head,

"Yeah, enjoy it while it lasts cause it's the only thing we've got in the house that's still consumable." He sighed, running a hand through his bright orange hair. "And I'm really not looking forward to getting caught stealing food so soon after we've both escaped." Jervis sighed, staring down at the box in his hand.

"…Can I make some now?"

"If I said no, would you not listen and make it anyway?"

"Hm…Most likely."

Jonathan smiled,

"Sometimes I wonder why I even bother…"
