Theme 046 Warmth (about 390 words)

It was warm, warmth surrounded him. That much he knew. A heavy blanket was wrapped around him he soon realized. Different than the blanket he had fallen asleep with, if he even had fallen asleep with a blanket that night. He couldn't remember. He had gone to bed exhausted, practically falling asleep as soon as he hit the mattress.  Where did this other blanket come from? Also he wasn't in his own room. He sat up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. Oh yeah he had come to the medbay to see Holiday after his last mission. Did he fall asleep on the cot in the exam room? He must've. He looked around. Yup. Yup he did. This was one of the exam rooms from HQ's medical ward. He must have been more tired than he thought. He shifted and swung his legs over the edge of the table as he stretched. His jumbled memories from his exhausted night before came rushing back now that he was fully awake.

He had went to medical ward to see Holiday after a day full of rather tiring missions. He usually went to her in her office or the labs but he was due for a physical and after all he went through that day Dr. Holiday wanted more than a quick check over of check up to make sure he was okay. He could barely keep his eyes open as he entered the room, asking to make it quick so he could get some sleep. And that's all he really remembers. Then things get muddled and cloudy, he supposed he must have fallen asleep at some point during the exam and he was left to rest. Come to think of it he remembers being half asleep as Holiday and Six whispered about something off to the side. Something about leaving him there to rest or 'I could carry him to his room'. Guess they decided to leave him be. The he vaguely remembers shivering, the exam rooms were always very cold and chilly, something heavy being tossed over him and fingers brushing some hair out of his face. That explains the blanket. Rex smiled. Holiday's motherly actions were sweet. It was nice to have someone looking over and out for him. It was nice to know someone cared. It was warming.
