Room 313- Monday after classes

Jaina would never have believed she could even think it, but she was sort of glad to be able to get to Fandom after spending Thanksgiving with the family, because now she could get back to her routine. Especially now that her routine was beginning to become less about distraction and more about training again as she adjusted to certain new realities.

Too bad her routine got shot to hell today by a rare bout of oversleep coupled with work calls she had to take care of, so she didn't get to go for her workout till after class. Afterwards, she came back to her room, opened the water bottle on her desk, and went to drink from it-

"Ugh," she said, pulling it away from her mouth after tasting what was actually inside. It wasn't that it was bad, it was just that she needed actual water after that much time in the gym, not egg nog. Deciding that maybe she'd just head for the shower instead, it was a really good thing she ran the water before stepping in.

Fine. She'd just change clothes and stay sweaty today. Thanks, Fandom!

Washing his hands in with egg nog was just not cool, and thinking about it, there was only one good reason for this to only be happening when John was in the house - Fandom.

So he called Jaina, who else could he bug easily? Yes, that was his excuse, shh.

Jaina immediately felt some of the annoyance ebb away as soon as she heard the bunny snore from her phone. Apparently there still wasn't a time it wasn't an instant cheer-up. Also there was that whole thing where she liked when he called. She was being good and focusing on the bunny snore.

"I hate this town, you know," she greeted him, conversationally.

"So what you're telling me is that egg nog is all over," John clarified, grinning that she didn't make him bother with things like 'hi, how are you.'

"It is. I'm guessing you've got it, too?" she asked, surprised.

The surprise was quickly followed by the thought of Nancy not having known about the egg nog before a shower or something. It helped with the cheering up.

"Oh yeah, aaand now I'm guessing it'll be going on for the rest of the month," he said, sighing. "Maybe I can take a bottled water shower."

Perhaps not the mental image Jaina needed of her married ex, but now that she had it, she wasn't complaining. "Good luck with that," she said. "My water bottle is currently failing at being filled with water at the moment. Maybe just go swimming a lot."

John crinkled his nose, "Ugh, chlorine. I hate that smell."

"Do you like it better than the smell of egg nog in your hair?" she asked lightly.

"Luckily I can't smell my own hair," he replied. "But I'd say mixed with shampoo the chlorine would likely win."

"I truly want to see you get away with bringing shampoo into a pool," Jaina said, unable to keep herself from smiling.

"More like you'd enjoy seeing me get kicked out of a pool for bringing in shampoo," John said, shaking his head at her. "I know your MO."

She laughed, taking a seat on her bed. "It'd be great, admit it."

It would be great, John knew this. "Not under fear of death," he teased.

"Uh huh. If and when it happens, I expect a rundown of events, or I'll be disappointed and lacking in amusement," she told him.

"Hey, it's what friends are for," he promised, enjoying their conversation about egg nog far more than he'd enjoyed attempting to explain what was happening to his wife. Maybe that said something. "So, it's December there already, huh?"

"Not 'already', finally. I feel like we're lagging back here for some strange reason," she replied. "Did you guess the month by Fandom following you around?" She couldn't believe he was paying that close attention to how her time was flowing; she had enough trouble remembering his.

"Well, egg nog flowing like water jogged my memory of long ago when it was evil hot chocolate in the showers," John clarified, almost wishing he was back there to experience it properly and not in this odd bastardized form of insanity. "So, December in Fandom was the logical answer."

"Very good call," Jaina said. "And you still remember the evilness of the hot chocolate. Very impressive." She was trying really hard not to be pleased by that, considering she was shaky on how that little joke had come about exactly.

"Hey, there's no forgetting some things," he said, totally meaning everything about her. Which was probably why he shouldn't let himself dial her number.

She'd really been trying to tell herself that at this point she had an unrequited crush on someone she couldn't have, because that happened to people all the time, and they dealt with it. Thinking back to the beginning of them made that rationalization a little harder. Sadly, it also made her think she didn't want to rationalize it down to that.

"I'm so impressed with your old person memory. Maybe there's hope for you yet," she teased.

There were terrible things wrong with feeling pangs for your high school ex-girlfriend who was still actually in high school. "I'm not that old...what was your name again? Something with a nuh..."

"So close," she tsked, shaking her head. "It's okay, I'll respect your pride and let it come to you naturally. Even if it takes months for you to remember."

"Months, huh?" Really, he had no control over the smiling. "Oh, look at that, months for me, moments for you - it was Sarah, right?"

"I knew you'd get it," she told him, grinning. "Yes, my name is definitely Sarah. You dork."

John laughed his odd, dorky laugh. "Sarah's too common a name for you."
