Flying lessons (Jekyll/Rose and family?)

[call_me_snake]

Snake woke still curled around the bottle on the pilot's seat. He was cramped and cranky. He missed his bed and sighed wondering where the hell he was. For a moment he thought he was back in the war. Luckily that cleared before he opened his eye. There was no telling what time of day it was. Snake didn't care as he shifted around to get comfortable. He still wasn't much in the mood for company but he was going to have to be.

Reluctantly he sat up in the seat blinking at his reflection and mussed hair. He looked like shit and felt almost as bad. Rubbing his eye he slid the hatch back and listened. It was still quiet and Snake leaned the seat back intent on a few more minutes of sleep. He'd come out when he were ready.

I winced as I opened my eyes, not recognising the surrounding. I sat bolt upright at once, my eyes darting around the room. That was a bad idea, nausea twisted in my stomach, the urge to be sick almost overwhelming. I didn't know my way around the house, at all, and I wasn't quite sure whether or not I would actually be sick or not. My head also hurt, an insistant pounding at the front of my head.

Had I fallen asleep?

I still looked around me in my half daze until I realised where I was - Rose's. Where was she? Where was Snake and why the hell was I down here? Rising to my feet I padded out of the room, in search of the bathroom and trying to keep the sickness down.

Snake woke up again and frowned. He wasn't quite hungry but he would kill for juice. Slowly he climbed out of the glider and headed for the house. He'd passed the kitchen on his way out and he made a b-line for it praying that there would be Orange Juice in the fridge when he got there.

The door opened as I passed it and my head snapped up, nausea twisting in my stomach again. It was Snake. He looked as bad as I felt, probably the effects of the alcohol; "Do you know where the bathroom is?" I said softly, praying that he did.

Snake shrugged. I got no idea but if I don't find one here soon the bushes are looking mighty fine for a substitute.

[a-darker-dream.livejournal.com]

I laughed a little, my hands over my stomach, my head still hurting. Now I knew why it was that I didn't drink; "How are you feeling this morning?" I meant the hang over, but it could also mean what happened last night. I wondered how Rose was... I hope she was okay.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Snake looked at him running his hands through his hair. Better then you look. He was worried a bit. If nothing else the kitchen's that way. The garbage can or the sink.

Snake knew that green look he had.

[a-darker-dream.livejournal.com]

I laughed a little again, swallowing hard; "There are reasons I never drink..." I murmured, my eyes looking around for the bathroom, or anything else. I ran my fingers through my own hair and sighed.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

You get used to it. Snake was looking around too. Maybe upstairs?

[a-darker-dream.livejournal.com]

"I hope so..." I murmured. "Perhaps, I mean, I would imagine so..." I didn't really want to wake anyone up though. I looked over at Snake and shrugged.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

The kitchen's always an option if you want me to look around. Snake shrugged he was used to this feeling.

[a-darker-dream.livejournal.com]

I simply nodded; "I would like that... I'm not quite sure if it will wait" I smiled weakly and made my way towards the kitchen, my head over the sink just incase.

Snake eventually found the bathroom and came back to Henry. It's down that way.

Snake got out a glass and started looking through the fridge for juice. Finding the orange juice he poured a huge glass and drank it down before pouring a second one.

When you're feeling a bit better you should drink some juice.

[a-darker-dream.livejournal.com]

"Yeah..." I said, lifting my head and pushing my hair behind my ears. "Thanks." I padded out of the kitchen, my eyes scanning the doors until eventually I found it. Opening the door I entered, closing it behind me and making sure that it was locked.

It didn't take long and before long I was feeling slightly better. I washed my hands and face, tying my hair back and going back out to meet Snake in the kitchen.

"It helped a little" my voice gritty.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Snake had a glass of juice waiting for him and was eating some crackers he found.

Try drinking a little. You're probably dehydrated as fuck.

[a-darker-dream.livejournal.com]

"I wouldn't be at all surprised" I took the glass offered and drunk little bits at a time lest I upset my stomach again. "How can you eat this time of the morning?" I laughed a little, pointing towards the crackers.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

After starving for a few years you eat whenever you get a chance. Snake smiled. Even when you're sick you eat.

[a-darker-dream.livejournal.com]

I nodded, I thought of Lucy then... and sighed. "I don't think I'll be eating anytime soon, I think it would just make my stomach worse."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

I think it helps. Snake shrugged eating more crackers. We should check the weather. If it's going to be bumpy up there we might want to wait until you're not so green.

[a-darker-dream.livejournal.com]

"How do we do that?" I asked, frowning. Maybe food would help but I didn't really have the urge to test it now. I didn't want to be sick again.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

TV, computer. Snake shrugged and headed for the living room with his glass of juice and the box of crackers. Didn't look to windy down on the ground but who knows about up there.

[a-darker-dream.livejournal.com]

"Ah, I haven't really gotten used to them yet" I topped my glass up with the juice and put the bottle back into the fridge. I followed Snake back into the living room, sitting on the sofa I had slept on.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Snake sat down in the chair and flipped through until he found the weather channel.

Hmm. Don't look half bad. Shouldn't be too bumpy. Good thing with how you're feeling.

[a-darker-dream.livejournal.com]

I watched him move the pictures until it seemed he had found the right one. There was a lot of little pictures and colours. I frowned a little as I watched the little pictures move, and arrows too; "I'm glad about that." I said finally. "It seems you can get allsorts on that TV..." I fought the urge to blush as I remembered Rose explaining to me about it, and the things you could watch.

I really hoped Rose was alright, she hadn't come down yet.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

And if you believe more then half of it you're a fool. Snake smiled.


You want to see something hilarious?

I laughed; "I'll bear that in mind. I haven't had chance to sit down and actually watch it yet"

I nodded and shrugged, frowning a little; "Sure, why not"
