Just One Kiss Part 5
"Well, anyhow, that's the situation I'm stuck in, Mr. Blue. Ya got any advice?" John said to the delvian male after explaining the extremely long and factual story about John and Aeryn's relationship.
"Well, firstly, I feel I should tell you how Aeryn's illness will affect her" the Delvian male, Alavian, said thoughtfully. "The sebacean loses their memory to a specific period in time, to when they were under a lot of stress and something of great importance was going on in their lives. The memories aren't actually gone-the brain just can't process it for the moment. Soon they just become more deluded then ever, and they go to insanity if they aren't treated within a weeken, and if it is still not detected, they go into heat delirium-the stages that haven't already taken place-and then into the living death. The sooner they are treated, the better.
"Now, since it's this early we have noted the signs, giving her this potion will stop the process. However, it will take at least a weeken before all the memories come back. It changes every few solar days as to what they remember, and the day beforehand, they won't remember at all. It's a very new a confusing illness, and scientists are learning more and more about it every solar day.
"As for how you should act around Aeryn, I suggest you use your time wisely, to make up for lost time if you know what I mean" Alavain said, winking.
John grinned inspite of himself. "I feel somewhat guilty, but when you put it that way, there's really no harm, is it?" Alavain shook his head and smiled. "So, do you have some clothes that Aeryn and I could use since we need to shop some more? I don't want a repeat of yesterday's 'Days of Our Lives.' Oh, and I don't wanna look like I'm part of the Taliban."
The delvian frowned at John. "I don't fully understand what you just said, but I believe I know the main thought behind it. I'll go get some clothing from the back."
The sound of Alavain's footsteps quickly disappeared, since it was so noisy in the apothecary. The scents of so many different herbs and spices wafted through the shop, and the smell made Crichton slightly dizzy. There were also slaughtered animals hanging on the ceiling, but John should have realized he'd see things like that when he read the sign from the outside that read: Alavain's Apothecary and Spiced Meats-spiced to perfection! Nevertheless, the sight creeped him out somewhat. He wanted out ASAP. Besides, he had a great opportunity waiting for him back at the hotel. After a few minutes the delvian came back with some clothes.
"I think this might suit you," he said, holding up a pair of black pants in a cotton-like material and a dark-blue cotton-like shirt with a strange symbol on the front.
"I didn't see one person out there wear anything like that, though" John said, frowning slightly.
"That's because you only saw the servants by the shops" he said, slightly amused. "This is quite popular and very comfortable. And Aeryn can wear this."
He held up a scarlet-iridescent dress with ruffles at the shoulders going across but not over, and had no sleeves.
"Well, something tells me she will have a bit of a quarrel with me about that, but she'll wear it."
The delvian looked pleased.
"Now, give her this potion, and if something goes wrong, let me know."
************
Aeryn was sitting on the bed, watching John with an amused expression on his face.
"I'm not wearing that, John," she said with a smile.
God she's so beautiful when she smiles. Then again, she's always beautiful. If I ever wrote a dictionary, beautiful would be defined as Aeryn. I just hope it will last for at least a week.
"Well, Miss Sun, I hate to break it to you, but we need to go shopping. The locals hate peacekeeper guts, and even if we aren't peacekeepers, they'll assume we are, and we won't last an arn on this place. Trust me about this one. If I have to look different, so do you."
"I hate dresses."
A smile crept onto John's face. Aeryn cocked an eyebrow playfully and grinned at him. I can just see what's coming next…John thought to himself.
"Hey, it might not look good to you on a hanger, but trust me, it'll look good on you."
Aeryn looked up and smiled. "Is that in invitation?" she purred.
"May-be" he said coyly back. He came and sat on the bed next to her.
"So, how did we escape the empress and Scorpius?" Aeryn asked.
Make it simple. You don't want to make this a big deal, or you'll find yourself in a lot of trouble.
"Well, since they took samples of my DNA, they made princess Katralla pregnant without me-er, well you know."
Aeryn nodded.
"So…you have a child you'll never see?" Aeryn said a little sadly.
"Yeah" John said with a sigh. "At least I know she'll be taken care of."
"Hmm" Aeryn said softly, staring out into space. "So, where is everyone else?"
John frowned and felt himself go red. He hadn't thought of that. Well, I'll just tell the truth again, then.
"Moya Starbursted away for reasons unknown. We're kinda stranded here, I guess."
A smile played at Aeryn's lips. This is the perfect setup. I can finally let go. How did such a helpless being work his way into my heart?
"John, I'm sorry I've been pushing you away. I was…well…scared that I'd lose you. But sometimes, well, you have to take risks. What I'm trying to say is-"
"I love you" John whispered in Aeryn's ear.
A huge smile crossed Aeryn's face, and she blushed a little. "I love you too" she whispered back, their noses touching.
They nuzzled each other, closed their eyes, and slowly came into a deep, passionate kiss. John's hands moved up her back softly. He was so happy. He hadn't kissed Aeryn in nearly an entire cycle, and the feeling was so wonderful. They fell back onto the bed, kissing for what seemed like all eternity…
Ah, I love shippyness :) Let me know how you like it! Am I staying in character? Does this seem realistic at all to you? I love feedback!
