Be a little bit wiser baby [Semi-open]

[morphitudinous]

Between security patrols, nocturnal crew members (or whatever passes for nocturnal on a ship with no normal day-night cycles), and those who do not need regular sleep, the halls are rarely devoid of activity. But there are times of day when it is less likely that a friend will notice a pair that appears to be completely healthy making their way toward the Med Bay well outside normal visiting hours.

Billy has chosen one of those times to shuffle through the halls with his girlfriend's hand in his, doing his best to keep himself and Ronnae unnoticed. Unfortunately for them, the exact behaviors he is using to attempt to avoid confrontation peg their activity as suspicious.

This is going to end well, isn't it?

((ooc: So this is mostly closed, we have one character ready to confront the pair and accompany them to their destination, but we're open to the hilarious possibilities! Just PM this journal or otherwise contact me and ask to be shot buddies please.))

Ben hung back for a moment to let the EMH answer their questions. At least he was mentally prepared for this. Cause hey, anything for a friend right?

[morphitudinous]

There was a quick round of answers from the impatient doctor already prompting Billy to roll up his sleeve. Yes, Ronnae needed a shot too, and no, it would not be permanent. They would be required to return for another dose every six months.

Billy nodded, still feeling tense. This was bound to be painful---even more painful if his muscles remained tense, he reminded himself logically, but calming down was proving to be quite a difficult task.

Help?

She nodded and stood besides him. Once she noticed however, that he was tense, and possibly going to make it more painful than it should have been, she bent a bit lower to be at eye level and raised her goggles. She gently turned his face away from the needle and towards her own. Nose to nose, she had a warm, gentle smile on her lips and her bright teal eyes focused on him as she spoke sweetly and calmly.

"It's alright hun, I'm right here okay? I promised you I'd protect you jus' like you would me. You have nothing to worry about." She kissed his nose sweetly, just as the shot was going in. Hoping to ease his tension before the action happened.

Clapping Billy on the shoulder, Ben offered, "I'll go first. You need to relax and see it's perfectly harmless."

Taking his jacket off and rolling up his sleeve, the already impatient EMH quickly gave him the shot and Ben didn't even wince. "See? Done and done. Aaaand now I'm sterile for six months but hey, not a big deal."

Billy tipped his head to watch, nodding. At least it didn't look too painful. It wasn't usually if you didn't tense up beforehand, but the problem was that he couldn't help himself...

...oh hello beautiful. He promptly blushed upon his face being steered to Ronnie's, confirming that she was right with a happy sigh. Always protecting him.

His eyes closed of their own accord when she came close, his entire body relaxing during the light kiss. Perfect opportunity for the EMH to inject both of the lovesick teenagers without a word of complaint.

When they broke apart, Billy noted the faint pain in his arm. It was already done, with parting instructions from the doctor for all of them to make sure their arms received adequate exercise. It would end the pain more quickly, apparently.

"...thanks," Billy whispered to both of his companions, rubbing the spot on his arm.

Ronnie jumped a little, but didn't fuss, she had to keep face afterall. A small wince and a nervous giggle afterwards and the deed was done. "Okay, that's settled right!" She quickly lowered her goggles once more.

She turned to Ben and blushed lightly, "Th-thanks Ben, you're awesome." She gave him a friendly kiss on the cheek and a thumbs up before grabbing Billy's hand affectionately.

"Hey not a problem," replied Ben. "Seriously if you two need me for anything, just ask. I can do a lot of stuff and hey, mums the word on the shot."

Rubbing his arm briefly, he chuckled. "Gwen's going to read me the riot act, much less ma but they'll deal. It's not like ma can actually say a damn thing about the shot anyhow."

Twisting his watch, he shifted forms. "JETRAY! I'll see you two later."

Saluting, Jetray flew off, steeling himself to talk to his family. God they were going to laugh at him for so long.

Billy nodded, giving Ben a grateful salute. "I'll remember that. Thanks again."

With a faint worry for Ben's safety as his next thought, he squeezed Ronnie's hand and started to lead her back to their home. The walk back was much easier than the walk there had been...

...and maybe he bounced a little, swinging their arms back and forth as they walked. It was good to exercise it!

She giggled and pulled on him hurriedly. "C'mon c'mon! Bed's a'waitin' and I'm exhausted!" Right, if she was exhausted, you wouldn't be able to tell, cause she was bouncy, smily, and happily being playful the whole walk/jog/skip/run home.
