"I don't really mind if you want to." he assured her as he stroked her cheek.

"Then, if you really don't, I might stay." She whispered, giving up trying to stay awake.

"Trust me I'll let you know if I ever need alone time." Tempest told her and he let out a giant yawn

Joanna giggled, and pulled away just slightly. "You sleepy?" She hummed, stretching her legs out on either side of him.

"A bit." he admitted as he let himself calm down "I know you are too." he smiled

Leaning back onto the couch, she smiled softly. "What? Me? Tired?" She joked, pulling him on top of her. Gently, she ran her fingers through his hair.

He pressed his lips to hers gently before laying his head on her upper chest once again, settling against her, comfortable as could be

"Love you darling." She whispered, her being relaxing into the couch. "Are you comfortable?" Joanna asked, still playing with his hair.

"I sure am cutie." Tempest responded and hugged her close "You're like a very loving weighted blanket"

She scoffed, but had a smirk on her lips. "Are you calling me over-weight?" She asked, teasingly.

"No silly…you're just…warm that's all." he looked up at her and whispered "you're perfect to me you know?"

"I am not, but whatever." She hummed, smiling warmly. At his next comment, her face turned even more pink. "Oh shut up."

"Sorry." he just felt it was true…but every time he said anything of the sort it caused some embarrassment sure but did he pick up on some…tension?

Joanna lifted her gaze up to the ceiling, and sighed. "No need to apologize Tempest, you have nothing to be sorry about." She whispered, a small smile still resting on her lips.

He moved his head up a bit and kissed at her jaw gently "I just…just…" his head dipped as sleep overtook him

A slight knot formed in her chest, when he kissed her. "Just…?" She asked softly, before seeing him already asleep.

He snored gently as he snuggled up closer in his sleep

Her face fell from it's smile, and she continued to pet him gently. "You make it so hard not to tell you everything…" She whispered, turning her head to the wall clock, before shutting her eyes to attempt to rest.
(Timeskip?)

(Yeah)
Tempest was still out like a light as morning peeked through his blinds

Joanna had, somehow, managed to tuck him into his bed, before heading over to her own apartment. She had left a note on his desk, and was in her bedroom, getting dressed.

a couple of minuets later Tempest yawned awake and started to rub sleep from his eyes. He looked a little confused to wake up in his bed but got up and started to get ready for the day, picking up a new little scrap of paper on his desk. He had assumed that Jo had woken up before him and had to get to work. He looked over the note

Hey babe! Wanted to get an earlier start on the day, I'm probably still over in my apartment though if I'm being honest. I'll see you later! ~Jo
The note was written in pretty, cursive writing. It was neatly written in dark blue ink, on a scrap of notebook paper.

He smiled and hopped into the shower, knowing that it was going to be a very busy new years eve.

Joanna had already showered, and was only half dressed as she did her hair and makeup. "Why on earth are my hands shaking so bad?" She complained, setting the eyeliner pen on the counter. Of course, she hadn't slept great, and hadn't eaten yet this morning. So both factors were probably contributing to her shakiness. But she really couldn't figure out why.

Tempest whistled something he had worked on at work as he got dressed, dried his hair and grabbed his keys to head to work. He would see Jo at her place of work later.

Finally, it clicked what she had to go do, so she stood straight and walked into the small kitchen. Making herself a quick breakfast, she made her way back to finish getting ready.
Once she had eaten, and finished getting ready, she headed out the door, texting Tempest as she did. What time are you coming tonight?

We're getting there around 10:30 Tempest sent back before getting into his car and pulled out the parking lot.

But that's so long from now :(
Laughing at her whining, she double checked everything she had, and continued down to the parking lot.

I can't wait to see you love he sent when at a red light and then put his phone away.

Her phone buzzed, but she was already in her car and driving. 'I'll look at it when I get to work.' She told herself, sighing at knowing she was going to have a really long day.
