Finding Paradise

Blake was very sleepy. Very very sleepy. The Xanaz that he'd taken before the flight had literally knocked him on his butt, and he was still recovering from it. He didn't like how it messed with his head and he followed Val in, putting his duffle and backpack off to the side, before moving Vals out of the middle of the entry space before closing the door. He toed off his shoes then and then wandered to where she'd gone.

He leaned against the door frame, crossing his arms over his chest as he looked her over. "Oh yeah, great view." He said with a chuckle before he pushed off the door frame and came up behind her. Wrapping his arms around her middle while placed a kiss on her shoulder, and then her neck, and then her cheek before he hugged her close and rested his chin on her shoulder. It really was a beautiful view. The blue of the ocean, the view from the hotel of Santorini, it was just....Something Blake never thought he'd be able to experience before. And he'd get to share it all with Val.

Blake hugged Val tight when she turned in his arms and smiled at before she was kissing him. When she pulled away he rested his forehead on hers. "I love you too." He said softly. He leaned against the wall with one hip when she pulled him to it, and he made to playfully bite at her fingers while she scratched his scruff. He let his arms stay loosely around her waist.

He smiled at her and nodded. Placing a quick kiss on her forehead. "Probably shouldn't have taken that Xanax, I feel groggier then all get out. But between that, the audiobook River gave me, and you, the flight was just fine." He told her. Once they'd boarded and he'd settled in had curled up to Val, popped his headphones in and had listened to Mary Shelly's Frankenstein for maybe an hour before he was out cold. He'd woken up a few hours before they landed and at that point had found Val had crawled into his seat which he was perfectly fine with as he cuddled with her and finished the book.

"I'll be much better on the flight home." He told her as he dipped his head and kissed her. "How are you feeling?" He asked her. "Other than excitement for finally getting me here in one piece?" He chuckled.

"You're right! I lived!" He chuckled, a wide grin spreading across his face as he scrunched his nose after she kissed it. He smiled down at her as she stared at him. Getting lost in her shade of blue eyes almost as much as was getting lost in his. "That is up to you my love. It's what...noonish?" He asked. Glancing up at the sky. "We can rest and just hang out here. Take another nap if we want too." He glanced over. "We got a pool, and a jacuzzi, we can order room service and you can listen to me critique the food." He laughed.

He bent down kissed he forehead. "Whatever you want to do babe. Just dont...expect me to get in a helicopter or another plane." He laughed. "At least not today." He added quickly.

Blake smiled down at her, resting his cheek on top of her head as she rested her head against his chest. "It lacked proper seasoning." He chuckled. He'd done his best to keep his mouth shut on what they could have done better, but he had surprisingly liked the peanuts.

"I loved your brownie." He told her, smiling into her kiss. It really hadn't been that bad, other than it was dry. He made a mental reminder to properly show her how to make box brownies if she was going to be box brownies.

Blake happily followed Val back in and began to turn red at granting him permission to sneak a peek into the bathroom while she was in it. He cleared his throat and then went in search of that menu. When located it, he flopped on the bed, and then began to rattle off everything they had on it for her. He wasn't really picky so long as they got a nice sweet dessert.

Blake ordered dinner while Val popped in and then sat on the bed. Looking at his hands for a moment and then leaned back on his back, staring up at the ceiling. He held his hand up and stared at the ring on his thumb. Running his index finger over it before he placed his hands behind his head and sighed. He closed his eyes for a moment, letting the room sounds wash over him for a moment before he sat up and began to undo his belt. He shed off his pants and dug around for a pair of basketball shorts and pulled them on before he took his shirt off, and began to do some stretches.

He went to the foot of the bed, and began to do some push-up, trying to get shake off the rest of the Xanax. he heard the water shut off, but he was too much in his own thoughts to notice when Val finally opened the door until he could feel the hot air from the water steam coming out. He rolled onto his back and then looked to see Val watching him, and he grinned. Jumping up he walked over to his bag and pulled out a fresh pair of boxers before he walked up to her. "My turn." He said. Giving her a quickly kiss. "They got one of these of me?" He asked with a smirk. Running his finger a long the neckline of the robe before he nudge her out of the way, and gave her another kiss before he shut the door.

He took his glasses off, and set them on the counter. His vision completely changing and everything becoming blurry. He quickly pulled off his shorts and boxers and hopped into the shower. Sighing for a moment while the hot water hit his body, and he for a moment he just let it run over him, before he literally sat down in the shower, letting the water hit him. The fact he was there, was still....unbelievable. He reached and pinched himself to see if this was in fact true. It was..Just... He pulled his wrist up close, and one of his index fingers slowly traced the scars on his wrist, before tracing the tattoo on his right wrist. His little reminder that he was in fact alive, and it was a beautiful day to be alive. He couldn't have agreed more, and he had a beautiful, wonderful angel waiting for him out there. He tilted his head up, getting hit in the face by the water spray, before he stood and then quickly washed up, before he stepped out. He quickly dried off and pulled on the navy dark blue boxers. He tossed his shorts over his shoulder, and ran a hand through his hair, slicking it back while he grabbed his glasses and then placed the ear pieces between his teeth, as he walked out of the bathroom.

Blake turned bright red when he came out to Val whistling at him, and he gave her a sheepish smile from around his glasses in his teeth. He pulled his shorts off his shoulder and then quickly put them before he put his glasses on. Being able to see finally, he walked over and flopped on the bed beside her.

"Hey there beautiful." He said with a grin. He was still a bit damp from the shower, but he didn't mind it as he rolled onto his side beside her and then leaned down for a kiss. Resting a hand on her hip while he did so. He lifted his head up then to smile at her. "If no one's told you this before, then I will gladly take the honor of being the first person, but did you know when you smile like that it lights up the whole room?" He asked her. He just stared at her then, so caught up in how beautiful she was, especially when she smiled. And she was all his.

Blake found himself grinning as the blush appeared on her face, and then it turned to a sheepish one. He tilted his head curiously, reaching up to wrap a strand of her hair around his finger. He leaned down to meet her kiss, smiling into it before he let his hand rest on her hip, pulling her more towards him.

"The prettiest blue-eyed curly-haired mopped rugrats ever." He nodded in confirmation as he leaned in for another kiss. This time, he didn't bother pulling away, but rather sticking around to do some more exploring. They were finally in Santorini, on a reaaaaal vacation. If Blake didn't want to go anywhere, he didn't have to go anywhere. He was perfectly content to just stay put right where he was. With Val. His fiancee, someone he didn't think he'd ever get a chance to have. His hand came up to cup her face as he nibbled on her bottom lip.
