Jac snorted at the state of him, he actually looked like he had the night from hell, there was something inside of her that made her feel bad for not letting him share her bed with her even with pillows acting as a barrier but she stuck to her guns and just got on with her day whisker her decision hindered him. She smirked as he walked around pretty much crippled all day at work, she rolled her eyes at his dramatics before sneaking off into town on her lunch break out of guilt to get him something to help his back. She met him outside the hospital at the end of their shift and they headed back home using his car as hers was pretty much knackered and needed a trip to the garage, she did blame him for that though like she pretty much blamed him for breathing around her once; he proceeded to call her dramatic.
"Here" she passes him the bag, he frowns and looks into it "When I was shot that herbal stuff really helped-"
"And here was me thinking you weren't holistic at all-"
"I can take it back"
"No...no" he points at her and pulls it out of the bag "How am I actually meant to...apply this-"
"You need to have a bath first and then put it on after, I mean you don't have to but it works best if you do" she shrugs, he raises an eyebrow at her avoiding his question "What?"
"You didn't answer my question"
"Fine" she huffs and takes the tub from him, she gestures to the sofa and he lies flat on his front causing her to roll his eyes at him till having his shirt on so he sits up and takes it off with an awkward expression
"Sorry"
"Just lie down Fletch" she snaps, her eyes lingering on his semi-naked body until she was snapped out of it as he lies down "I'm sorry if I hurt you in advance"
"Knowing you you'll apply too much pressure and I'll have bruises up my back"
"Don't tempt me" she rolls her eyes and apples the cream to his back, he flinches as it was cold causing her to raise her eyebrows as she pushed the cream into his skin
"You should be a masseuse"
"You should shut up" she whispers before scraping her teeth over her bottom lip as his muscles ripple under her fingers "Stay still"
"Too much for you to handle Naylor?"
"Shut it" she warns him not to push her, he snorts and closes his eyes as she continues to push the cream against his skin "There"
"Thank you" he smiles "We'll see if it's your massage skills or the cream that works won't we?"
"If it's my massage skills, tough, you are not getting another one" she smirks before standing up, she heads into the kitchen and washes her hands
As a thank you he decided to make dinner tonight, she hummed at his thoughtfulness and loitered around in the kitchen to make sure he didn't burn the place down until she got a facetime call from Emma so she headed upstairs to take it leaving him to his own devices. She came back down after and smiled at him keeping dinner warm in the oven, he plated up as soon as he saw her and then they sat on the sofa together to eat, all those rules of eating up at her table going out of the window instantly. To be fair it had been a long day and he smiled as she had practically fallen asleep on the sofa beside him, he nudges her and told her to go to sleep but she complained that she needed to shower because she smelt like vomit after covering on AAU for a bit today.
"We should start sharing showers otherwise your hot water bill will be through the roof-"
"You'll be through the roof if you even dare suggest that again" she shouts through the bathroom door, she didn't really know why he took up sitting outside the door whilst she showered
"Are you in on Saturday?"
"I'm not on call, the locums going to deal with it...apparently Max wants me to have weekends off afraid of burnout-"
"I bet you told her where to stick it-"
"I was tempted but I was a suck-up...sorry" she smirks before stepping out of the bathroom in just a long t-shirt, he stands up and his gaze sweeps over her body "Just like you"
"W-What?" he was distracted by her bare legs and she knew it so she hooked a couple of fingers under his chin and brought his eyes to her
"I called you a suck-up"
"Fuck you then" he smirks, she rolls her eyes and walks off into her bedroom, he follows her and jumps onto her bed causing her to groan "Go on...let me bunk in tonight"
"No"
"Not even a sleepover?" he tries, she pulls a face at his immaturity "We can watch horror movies-"
"We're not twelve Adrian so do one" she smirks, she couldn't help but laugh at his suggestion but he climbs under her duvet "What the hell do you think you're doing?"
"Your pillows smell of your perfume"
"You have a thing about my perfume from the moment I caught you sniffing it the other day like my glorified stalker" she mutters and sits on the edge of the bed after shutting the curtains "Get out of my bed-"
"What if I say no?"
"Then..." she trails off, she hadn't thought about how annoyingly persistent he could be "I'll...sleep in Emma's bed"
"It's so nice that you will be willing to give up your super king-sized fancy as shit bed to sleep in your daughter's single bed-"
"Oh fuck off Adrian and do one" she mutters and climbs into bed, he snorts and she huffs rolling onto her back "Ok fine, stay there, I'll just kick you a shit tonne in the middle of the night"
When Jac woke up in the middle of the night she sighed in annoyance at Fletch still being in her bed and the way he was literally wrapped up in her duvet, she huffed and tugged it back towards her, he grumbled under his breath and told her to fuck off which then resulted in her pulling more duvet with her. He sighed and woke, following her position of just laying on his back, he turned to look at her just as she did, their eyes meeting before she chucked some of the duvet towards him, keeping half for herself before proceeding to roll over so her back was facing him, he turned away from her and she bit her lip knowing she would struggle to get to sleep.
"Are you asleep?" she whispers, he turns onto his back and she follows
"No"
"Right" she clicks the sidelight on, he hums and places his arms outside the covers "Sorry about before...you were stealing all of the duvet"
"I didn't do it to get a reaction-"
"I know...you were asleep" she confirms, he nods and closes his eyes before she lets out a small laugh
"What's so funny?"
"Us"
"What about us?"
"I just never thought that right in the middle of a pandemic I would be sharing a bed with you and be clothed when doing it"
"Are you saying you don't want to be clothed?" he wiggles his eyebrows, she picks up her pillow and smacks him with it "Alright...sorry. I know what you mean thought..."
"Really?"
"Yeah I mean....a couple of years ago I would have killed to have you in my bed doing...anything other than sleeping"
"We're a bit far gone for that though" she chuckles, he nods and breathes out "I'm sorry about that too"
"You were allowed to feel what you want Jac," he says quietly, she closes her eyes "Maybe one day in hell we'll give it a go"
"Definitely in hell" she confirms, he smirks before laughing "We should sleep"
"We should"
"Well...goodnight" she just wanted this conversation over with so she turns away from him turning the light off as she went
"Night" he mumbles and turns away from her as well, he rubs his lips together wishing he understood what she was thinking
