Glimpses of Forever

"And I need you now tonight, and I need you more than ever. Forever's gonna start tonight." This is what comes later and some other stuff, too. A collection of Japril Drabbles from Tumblr prompts. They are not sequential just whatever felt right for each prompt. Most occur after Jackson and April are back together. Some are from the past. Other characters show up too.

22. Drabble 22

Drabble #22 - Maybe a prompt about a lazy movie date?

"What do you want to do tonight?" Jackson asked as they walked out of the hospital to their car after along week of work, "Wanna get a drink at Joe's? We haven't been there in ages."

"I don't know, "April replied, "Maybe we could see a movie? Is there anything good out?"

"I can check," Jackson offered, as he grabbed his phone and checked the movie listings, "Damn, this is a sorry list of choices."

"Bummer, maybe we should just head home. I'm pretty tired," April sighed, leaning on her husband's arm as they strolled through the parking lot, hand in hand.

"I have a good idea," Jackson ventured, "How about we order take out and watch movies on Netflix?"

"That's sounds perfect," April smiled, leaning up to kiss him as they reached the car.

"Perfect," Jackson kissed her back, his hands on her face, before opening her door to the car.

Once they got home Jackson quickly ordered a pizza as April went to change her clothes. After ordering a large pizza with just about everything on it, he grabbed the remote and switched to the Netflix app on their Smart TV. He scrolled through the movies to find a couple he knew April liked.

"So did you pick a movie?" April asked returning to their living room. She was in a pair of leggings, a favorite sweatshirt from college, and she had pulled her long red waves into a messy bun on the top of her head.

"I found a couple good ones," Jackson answered, turning to look at her, "It's really not fair."

"What?" April questioned, confused.

"How good you look right now, when you're not even trying," Jackson confessed, wrapping his arms around her waist and stealing a kiss. April smiled at the compliment. Do you wanna watch Sleepless in Seattle?"

"Sure, but Jackson, you hate that movie," April pointed out, surprised by his suggestion.

"Yeah," Jackson said, stealing another kiss, "I know, but it's your favorite movie. I just want to see you happy."

"Thank you, Jackson," April responded appreciating the gesture more than he could know. They stood their kissing, until they were interrupted by doorbell.
