Ray of fuckin' Sunshine.

Madelyn stirred awake to the warm light spilling in from the window in their bedroom. She had been pretty sound asleep after a bit of jet lag she was finally catching back up to her normal sleep schedule. Smelling something good wafting in from the kitchen she slipped off the bed wrapping her robe around herself as she made her way down to the kitchen. As she entered she saw her husband fast at work making breakfast. “Well good morning. Someone was up early.” Madelyn mused her voice still a little husky and her eyes a little droopy as she moved to rest her chin on his shoulder. 

The one thing Apollo loved most about Madelyn--that he would probably never say out loud, was how cute she looked when she woke up. The way her eyes were still sleepy, but bright, her hair, although still perfect and shiny, was just a little bit messy, and that voice. Daaamn that voice. Apollo chuckled as he went to reach behind him to wrap an arm around Madelyn. “Oh, you know, couldn’t go back to sleep, so I decided, why not make it a breakfast day?” He mused with a bright grin. “Did you sleep well?” He asked. “Hopefully, I wasn’t making too much noise out here.” 

He hugged the man in return, shoulders lifting in a shrug as the man explained that he’d bring the…whatever they were in a few weeks. “Hey, those are all Greek to me,” Mike couldn’t help but laugh at his own joke. “No, but seriously man, take your time.”

Apollo looked over at Mike for a moment as he cracked the pun and suddenly, a loud roar of laughter escaped the man. “Oh man, that was a good one. That, right there, is why you’re my favorite brother-in-law,” He laughed, shaking his head. “Yeah man, I got all the ingredients and shit and then it all just dawned on me that I have so much going on. It’s insane. But how are you?”

“Apollo! It was such an amazing ceremony and I wish you and Madelyn all the best in your future!” Kim smiled at Apollo, it really was an amazing ceremony and it had brought tears to her eyes. “It was amazing, the best red velvet cake I’ve had to date.” She laughed, “I’m definitely taking some slices home and you have to tell me who made it. That way I can get some more.”

“Aw shucks, thanks Kim! We appreciate you coming out and celebrating the big day with us,” Apollo grinned from ear to ear. “See, I told you, that red velvet was going to be top-tier. Don’t get me wrong, I still remember that birthday cupcake of yours too and that was just as good,” He chuckled. “Definitely! You know what, I’ll get back to you on the chef part because with all of this mayhem, my brain called it quits after Dancing Queen.”

“I think mine fell off somewhere and I can’t see them so I don’t know for sure.” Madelyn joked as she leaned back against him. His words hitting her once more as she finally had a moment to sit and just be with him. “We’re fucking married. Holy shit.” Madelyn grinned from ear to ear as she looked over to her husband. “I what now?” She asked with a confused and concerned look on her face. “I suppose thank you. I’m just mad I did. I don’t cry.” She was too happy or tired or both to really be upset about it however. “I love you too.” 

Apollo chuckled, shaking his head at Madelyn’s statement. “Well, lucky for you, I can always just carry you out of here, that way you won’t have to worry about hobbling out of here?” He offered, wiggling his eyebrows at his wife. “Are you sure we’re not dreaming right now?” He teased. “Hey, don’t be mad. You were filled with a lot of emotion and shit, besides, in that moment, as fucking cheesy as it sounds--it just felt like it was you and me up there and no one else. Like we were just on a cloud,” He smiled and pressed a kiss to her temple. “Let’s get out of here, wifey.”

Hearing his name, John paused and turned around to see Apollo, and a wide grin crossed his face. “The man of the hour, or week I should say.” John clapped his hands together once, before rubbing them together excitedly. “Man, you know I got you! I got all the chips, dips, and additional sodium filled items your heart could desire.”

“Now when you put it that way--” Apollo’s smile began to grow. “Dammit, the smile won’t go away now, see?” At the list John gave him, he let out a rather exaggerated, but happy, smile, “You are a legend, brotato chip. That is what I’m talkin’ ‘bout. It’s gonna be great and you guys get to keep me semi-sane because I’m pretty sure I’m slowly descending into insanity.” 

“Yes Apollo?” Shelby sighed with an obvious look of annoyance and it shining through in her tone. She knew better than to piss him off knowing full well his fiancee would be at her throat and Shelby didn’t need that today. “What do you need?” She was unsure what exactly he needed that was science related but she hoped it was quick and painless. 

“Alright so here’s the science question,” Apollo began, making sure it was a quick question and that way he could let Shelby continue with her day. “So you know how when you shake soda it explodes right? Or if you put mentos into a bottle? Hypothetically, if you were to chug a soda and shook around, what would be the adverse effects on a human?--For science of course.” 

Kim looked to see who was speaking to her and it was Apollo, “You’re welcome. Anyone who loves red velvet as much as me deserves to have a cupcake.” she laughed, “Actually, I did. I did a few things and ended the night with margaritas so I would say that was a good birthday indeed.”

“Amen to that, I’ll return the favor too in a few days cause you’re coming to the wedding, right?” Apollo asked with a chuckle. “Wooow! What a way to end the day with a bang, you can’t ever go wrong with the margs, hands down. I’m glad to hear that.”

Shelby was looking through a file. There was a research project she and Drew were working on and they needed to figure out this one shady little elemnt that jsut kept alluding them. Chewing on the end of her pencil nose buried in the file she hadn’t noticed the person staring and watching her until she heard a noise. Looking up she arched a brow. “Can I help you?” 

“Shelby, hiiii,” Apollo smiled at the blonde, knowing very damn well he was about to get on her nerves. “I actually have a question for you, it’s science related, I promise, quick and painless and I’ll be out that sunny golden hair of yours,” He beamed.
