Try to Keep Up!

[StoneyJr]

Jake finished up half of the second box of food that he stored in the fridge, storing it back when he was finished and heading over to his room, a small groan leaking from his mouth as he made a wrong step, sending a small twinge of pain up his spine.

 

[IceQueen]

Holow's eyes fluttered open at the sound of a groan, letting a small moan out as she stretched her limbs. She looked around, rubbing her eyes and trying to find a clock. Finding the phone, she checked that it was 12."Why are you still up?" she asked Jake, getting out of her chair.

 

[StoneyJr]

"Won't be awake much longer.." Jake leaned his head against the door and yawned, stretching his right arm behind his head, letting out another small groan.

 

[IceQueen]

Holow smiled a bit. 'Training.' She thought, looking at the way he was holding himself hunched over. She reminded herself mentally to leave some pain killers on the counter in the morning with a glass of water. He would need them. She yawned, covering her mouth. "Good, get some rest. We both need some." She said.

 

[StoneyJr]

Jake thumbsed up behind him without even looking, hoping that would convey the right message without needing words, and opened his door, slinking inside and falling on the bed, fast asleep before he even hit the covers.

 

[IceQueen]

Holow smiled and shut the door behind him, walking over to her own room and curling up in her bed. She looked at her wall for a bit, deep in thought before she shut her eyes and fell asleep.

 

[StoneyJr]

In the morning, heading towards the afternoon, Jake squinted his eyes open, his back still aching a little but not as bad as the night before. He crawled out of his bed and opened the door, using the door knob as a crutch for a few seconds before strolling over to the kitchen counter, seeing something that he almost praised out loud. Pain killers!


"Oh thank Christ.." He whispered, sucking them down in an instant.

 

[IceQueen]

Holow had been up since around 8, having already exercised in the morning and was reading a book. And as soon as she heard his door open, she looked his way. When she heard his words, she let out a chuckle. "Thought you would appreciate those since you are hobbling like and old man." She said nonchalantly to him.

 

[StoneyJr]

"Whilst I'm not usually prone to outbursts of kindness, you're amazing.." He chuckled, making his way slowly to the fridge and then the cupboard, getting himself a glass of milk, and sitting down at one of the stools.

 

[IceQueen]

Holow snorted. "Least I could do. We start training in an hour." she added the last part, flipping the page of her book. She waited for his reply, knowing that it was most likely something of groaning and moaning.

 

[StoneyJr]

Holow was very correct, as Jake slammed his head into the counter and let out an enormous groan, lifting his head up a little and dropping it down onto the counter over and over.

 

[IceQueen]

Holow laughed lightly, a big grin on her face. "Yeah. Get sore muscles for the next few days, because that is all you are going to feel." She said, putting down her book and walking over to him and patting him back.

 

[StoneyJr]

"Damnit damnit damnit damnit damnit.." He chanted as he slammed his forehead into the counter, before slowly raising his head with a grim expression.


"I'm going to shower..." He groaned, falling off the stool and walking over to the bathroom.

 

[IceQueen]

Holow waved a hand, her head stuck in the fridge. "Shave fun." She said, popping her head out to reveal a slice of cheese suck in-between her lips, as she munched on it freely without using her hands.

 

[StoneyJr]

Jake chuckled lightly, slowly turning into an outright laughter as he walked into the bathroom for a shower.


((I won't go into detail, he showers, haha))

 

[IceQueen]

((Hmm, I do, sometimes, like just pieces of water running down neck, but that's about it))


Holow sat a plate of cheese slices and crackers out on the counter, munching on them as she waited.

 

[StoneyJr]

((Hmm..fair fair, but I think for this specific shower he'd be in more pain than anything, not really worth describing))


Jake, after about half an hour, hobbled out of the bathroom steaming, a huge grin on his face, with nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist, and walked over to Holow.


"Hey there cute stuff!" He grinned.

 

[IceQueen]

Holow turned and yelped, her face going bright red as she saw him with nothing but a towel on. "PUT ON SOME PANTS PERVERT!" She yelled, taking the blanket that was left from last night and chucking it at him with force, her face still quite red. She hated the way he had to tease her about everything, especially mostly naked.

 

[StoneyJr]

"Oh come now, you know you like what you see." Jake winked, "Your expression says it all!"


And with that he burst out laughing once again, picking up one of the crackers and taking a bite.

 

[IceQueen]

Holow glared at him, her cheeks still rosy but her face screaming murder. "JAKE!" She roared, rolling up the morning news paper and smacking him upside the head with it.

 

[StoneyJr]

Jake fell from the stool and crouched over, taking the first hit like a champ but dodging the second, bouncing behind her and resting his chin on her shoulder with a slight wince from his muscle pains.

 

[IceQueen]

Holow glared at him and moved her body over and smacking the side of his cheek hard with the newspaper. "DON'T MAKE ME FIVE STAR YOU!" She threatened.

 

[StoneyJr]

"Oh take a joke!" Jake chuckled, half insincerely.


He walked back over to the bathroom and got changed, before walking back out with a smile.


"Guess I'll meet you outside." He looked at Holow before walking out of the apartment door and down to check on Wrath.

 

[IceQueen]

Holow glared at him. On the way down the stairs, she gave him a big hearty five star in-between his shoulder blades. She didn't even bother going easy on him, she just continued walking towards the stairs, and jogged down all 30 flights without breaking a sweat. She walked over to Haven, smiling as she climbed inside.

 

[StoneyJr]

Jake fell down the last two stairs, landing against the railing with a booming roar. He glared at her as she ran down the stairs ahead of him, slowly following down to the garage.


"I should kick your ass.." He hissed as he walked passed, climbing into Wrath.
