As Bruce waited for his Peer Sponsor to show up for their weekly meeting, he relaxed on the bench. Flipping through a new novel he was reading. Lost in the words on the page, It was rare now that he just let himself relax and read but he had the time, so he just figured why not. Especially since his sponsor was running so late. He didn’t pull his gaze from the book when he finally heard footsteps. “Finally.” He sighed. “I was starting to think you took this about as seriously as I do.” He said sarcastically before he finally tore his eyes from the book. His eyes widening in shock when he saw who was there. “Jon?” 

.

       When an opening for Bruce’s peer sponsor came up in the program, Jon hadn’t thought twice about volunteering. He would do his best to show his former best friend just how important the program was and that if he took it seriously it could help. His only goal was to help. Bruce had lost his way but that didn’t mean he had to stay lost. Jon could see the good in everyone and there was still so much good in Bruce. With a smile, he entered the room, ready for what was waiting inside. “Hi Bruce.” He greeted with a small wave. “I’ll be your new sponsor.” 

Dory: It does not bring me happiness.

Dory: You make me happy Jon. You're the most important person in my life. I hope you know that.

Jon: I'm sorry.

Dory: I don't think she will be happy but she will thank me later.

Dory: I would love that. I can't wait to show you everything.

Dory: I'm sorry - I know it's not something you want to hear. does this upset you?

Jon: No but I hope she understands.

Jon: I can't wait for you to give me the grand tour.

Dory: No I have requested that she stay behind and rest. I'll be escorted home by royal guards.

Dory: We'll have to get you a breathing apparatus so you can stay longer. My father would love to see you.

Dory: Yes, my mother has someone she wants me to be betrothed to - I think the old royal ways are just that, old.

Jon: Oh okay. How does she feel about that?

Jon: I would love to see him too. Maybe when you aren't doing your duties we can take a trip there?

Dory: Likely until Sunday evening.

Dory: I know. Me either. I hate leaving you..I wish you could come with me.

Dory: I wish you would be there instead of him.

Jon: That's a long time.

Jon: I wish I could too. Is Marina going with you?

Dory: I would love to go on a date with you tomorrow.

Dory: I um, I do have to leave for the weekend though, back to Atlantis for some delegation thing I have to be in attendance for

Dory: but I will miss you. I always do when I leave the land.

Jon: Are you going to be gone the whole weekend?

Jon: It's all the more reason to have a date before you go.

Jon: I'll miss you too. I always miss you when you go home.

Dory: Seaweed i'm told is an acquired taste but I do like it.

Dory: Jon, you're making me blush :P

Dory: I am so lucky. How did I get this luck I will never know.

Dory: I believe so. I've had a bit of freedom since Marina has been recovering...so we will be able to have some time to ourself. :)

Jon: I didn't like it at first but I do now.

Jon: Good, you deserve to blush.

Jon: I'm the lucky one. I don't know what I did to deserve you.

Dory: No we do not. Seaweed is a most common treat in Atlantis but it does not taste as yummy as whipped cream

Dory: I love you more Jonathan Kent

Dory: Something romantic. I love that you plan something romantic, I love surprises and you give me the best ones.

Jon: I've had seaweed. I think it tastes good, but not as good as whipped cream.

Jon: I don't think anyone can love as much as I love you, Eldoris Curry

Jon: I'll always plan romantic things for you. Well this was supposed to be a surprise but I couldn't remember if you liked those things.

Dory: It was very tasty yes

Dory: That's okay, just another favourite reason to stay on the land :)

Dory: you are the first favourite of course

Dory: What's with the strawberries and paint and whipped cream? Is this something romantic?

Jon: Okay, I'll write that down.

Jon: Do you have anything that tastes like whipped cream in Atlantis?

Jon: I love you

Jon: I just needed the answers because I was planning something for us.

Dory: Ohhh I think once on top of liquid chocolate at the starbucks

Dory: it was very good. We don't have anything like that at Atlantis

Jon: Do you like liquid chocolate?

Jon: It's probably because it works with compressed air...I don't know if that would work under water.

Dory: I like anything with water in it.

Dory: I like strawberries....whipped cream is that the sweet cloud looking thing that comes out of a can?

Jon: I thought you might say that.

Jon: Yeah, that's whipped cream.

Jon: How do you feel about water based paint?

Jon: And strawberries?

“..What did you just say to me?” Rocky asked, arching a brow as he shot the other man an incredulous look. He had been with him at the beginning of his sentence, but Rocky had found himself lost not long after. He wasn’t always so easily confused, but he had been rather distracted since homecoming. “They should put that on the school posters or something”

.

      “Can’t and won’t aren’t synonymous.” Jon simplified the statement the way he should have originally. Won’t implied an unwillingness. Can’t implied an inability. They weren’t the same. “I think they do, actually. So which is it? You can’t or you won’t?”

It’s probably unusual to see someone laying on the grass, clearly napping. Fortunately, Syllen doesn’t care much about what people might say in passing. He’s only here to bathe in the sunlight and enjoy a comfort only the sun can provide. If only the dormitory were this bright. Vibrant green eyes slowly start to open, however, Syllen quickly notices that he isn’t alone. “I swear it was only fifteen minutes! Thanks for not stepping on me though.”

.

      Jon noticed Syllen sunbathing on one of the many fields that littered the school. He looked as comfortable as ever and before he knew it, Jon was heading in his direction, hoping to receive the same amount of comfort from the sun. “Why would I step on you?” He questioned, brows pulling together as he moved to sit beside Syllen, turning his face towards the sun. 

Ben was not use to this. It was mostly always him doing the buying or being the one to help the others. It felt nice. Giving him a smile that turned into a laugh when he heard the rumble. “Alrighty then. We craving here at the lunch area or should we order take out?”

.

         “It’s up to you.” Jon didn’t have a preference and it was supposed to be a treat for Ben. He thought Ben should be able to pick whatever he wanted whether that was at the lunch area or take out. “What are you craving?” He offered a counter question. 

Jon had certainly grown on Marina the more time they spent together. She could understand why Dory was so smitten with him. Well, to a point anyway. “I’m fine. You’re just an escort. These nurses just overreact.” she rolled her eyes.  She was too prideful to have anyone carry her while she was perfectly capable of walking. Marina sighed, a hand pushing back a wave of curls from her face. “she’s being ridiculous.”

.

       Jon nodded, knowing that Marina could take care of herself. If she needed him then he would be there but it really didn’t seem like she needed him and so he didn’t push it. “Well,” he offered her his hand. “What are we still doing here then?”
