Valentine Vignettes

I arise from dreams of thee
In the first sweet sleep of night,
When the winds are breathing low,
And the stars are shining bright.
I arise from dreams of thee,
And a spirit in my feet
Hath led me -- who knows how?
To thy chamber window, Sweet!

The wandering airs they faint
On the dark, the silent stream--
And the Champak's odours
Like sweet thoughts in a dream;
The nightingale's complaint,
It dies upon her heart,
As I must on thine,
O belovèd as thou art!

O lift me from the grass!
I die! I faint! I fail!
Let thy love in kisses rain
On my lips and eyelids pale.
My cheek is cold and white, alas!
My heart beats loud and fast:
O press it to thine own again,
Where it will break at last!

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Valentine's Day meant chocolates for everyone. With her new friends, she figured beer and stout were more appreciated. She left the guys a selection of microbrews, and chocolates for Tamara.

After the auction, Jenny paid a visit to her demigod where he was staying while he healed from his injuries. She brought the ingredients for a pot roast dinner with cheesecake for dessert. Another bag had roses, chocolates and two bottles of wine.

By request of the patient, she also brought along a nurse's outfit.

If Andy was not in so much pain right now, he would talk to this nurse about how naughty she could be. As it is, he's barely able to get up and give her a kiss, and each step hurts like hell.

There were moments over the last several days where he wishes that Titan would have just killed him, the pain is so intense. The last him he'd felt this bad, he had Hydra venom in his veins.

"Hi, honey. How are you?" he asks.

	At the sight of her battered and hurting guy, Jenny almost decided to break her word and find Titan herself for a showdown. /Almost./ And it was not off the table yet. "Better than you're doing, I see." She kissed him gently over the bags in her arms. "Go back to bed and I'll get this stuff put away, okay? You need anything?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If you've got a bottle of painkillers, I'll take them all." Andy says, chuckling a little. "I'm fine, though. Really. I didn't know how slow humans had to heal until now. The docs said I'm lucky not to be in traction currently." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Two bottles of wine to go with dinner, but I'll open one now if you like." She kissed him again and edged past carefully to find the kitchen. "You're fully human, then?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm so human, it hurts." Andy half-jokes. "Yeah, Titan took /everything/. I still don't even know how this happened. There's...a small part of me that thinks he could have tricked Marlow into doing it. She'd do a lot for him." Andy says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Is that even possible?" She set the bags on the counter and began unpacking them. "Wouldn't you know if he'd talked her into it? It's such a huge thing. What did she say when you talked to her?" "You /did/ talk to her?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well, I /think/ I'd know, Jenny. But then, there have been a couple of times recently when I think Titan's been able to keep something from me.

And I think I can do the same to him." Andy says, finally giving into the pain and sitting down.

"I was going to talk to her, but then the pain got really bad, so I said I'd do it later." Andy says.

"Then I fell asleep."

	"If I'd known you hadn't spoken to her, I would have at the charity auction tonight. She's here in New York. Or maybe back in LA by now." Groceries taken care of, she turned her attention to him. She didn't like his color, it was too pale. "Did the doctor prescribe anything for pain or are you being all manly and refusing to take it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gammagodling 2011-02-16 04:09 am UTC (link)
	"The pain isn't so bad, most of the time. When it gets intolerable, I'll take the medicine. I don't want to become dependent." Andy says. "And I don't want to be too doped up to not appreciate you being here, Jenny." he says. "If you want, you can call her. I'm sure she won't have trouble getting out here if you want to talk to her." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She moved put her arms around his neck, taking advantage of his sitting position. "You need to talk to her. Maybe she can help find Titan or she might know where he is. You're here and she's back in LA, you can't track what she knows. I'm not wasting any more time on it tonight. One last question and then we'll talk about something. Who is making sure he doesn't come after you again until he's found and contained?"

	"Jenny, if he wanted to kill me, he would have. All he had to do was step down a little harder." Andy says. "He didn't, though. I think he wants me to know what he's doing and know that I can't do anything about it." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tabula_rasa 2011-02-17 03:42 am UTC (link)
	"Yes, I can see that. Or maybe he's smart enough on his own to realize that killing you might also kill him." She closed her eyes and shook her head slowly from side to side. "All right, this is Valentine's Day. My Valentine will have a home cooked meal with cheesecake for dessert, and be as comfortable as I can make him." She opened her eyes to smile. "You."

	"You are the best High Priestess in all of existence, Jenny." Andy grins. He pauses to consider something. "It doesn't bother you that I'm...mortal now, does it?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Jenny smoothed his hair back from his forehead. "It doesn't bother me that you're mortal. I thought you were mortal when I met you, remember?"

She kissed him and went back to dinner preparations. The auction had gone late, but she was awake now and rest would happen when everything was ready to slow cook for hours.

"Things will change a little, but I'm used to being careful. I'll be very gentle until your ribs are healed. Everything will work out in the end."

	"When you say it like that, I believe you. I really believe everything will turn out okay." Andy says, taking her hand and kissing her fingers. "How are things over in England these days? Are your friends making any more Leprechauns angry?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She had to believe it. Andy in her life was something she wasn't giving up.

"There were some developments in the Leprechaun caper..." She told him about the weevils, the Klingons, the dragon, finding the Leprechaun in their headquarters accusing them of hiding his gold. "He actually believed Excalibur would leave a note behind bragging that we stole his gold, and put our name on it."

	"You guys sure don't get into trouble by halves." Andy chuckles a little, before grimacing in pain. "I'm glad those Leprechauns didn't try to hurt you, though. I'd have to come over there and show them what for." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I was fully prepared to sacrifice Quinn if it would get them to stop sending all those things at us. He only made it worst." She caught the grimace. "Are you sure you won't take something for pain now? There's no hurry. I remembered my passport this time and I'm not relying on anybody for a ride home." (Reply to this)(Parent)
