In honor of

"Kiss kiss? You kidding me?" Eli takes a handful of popcorn, not minding a bit if Ryan snuggled in behind him. He'd called her a foot-warmer before and wouldn't be afraid to do it again.

Even with his statement of distaste though, he's already changing the channel from where he'd had it. It had, in fact, turned out to be a romance movie, but he wasn't about to tell Ryan that. "Ahh, here we go." He turns up the volume a little, settling on a different channel. "How about a good ol' shoot 'em up western? In honor of Pops."


Leo makes himself comfortable next to Cassy, too sick to mind her staying with him for the night. Tilting his head so he can see the tv, it was fun watching the old shows. They're funny enough that they start him laughing and he can't fall asleep just yet. His head hurt when he laughed, but the shows were too funny not to laugh, and finding the humor along with Cassy made it even more fun.

Eventually though, his tiredness finally wins out and he falls to sleep to the sounds of canned laughter from I Love Lucy. Somewhere in the night, he feels himself burning up again, but this time there's someone there to help him through and bring the cool cloth for his head. By the time the morning light is starting to peek around the curtains in his room, his fever had finally broken, and he was sleeping peacefully.
