[for Johnny]

[dr_robchase]

Chase was in the clinic, taking a new inventory. Now that Foreman was there and another doctor named Beckett, apparently, it was probably for the best they have an updated count. There was a woman named Claire Fraser that he really should meet, considering so many files had her name on them, but he was in and out.

Currently, he was chewing on the end of a pen, cupboards open and mentally counting how many samples jars were in there along with bandages.

"Whenever." Johnny shrugged. "A party, hmm? Celebrating what?" He added an ugly lacy thing to the pile of net-materials.

[dr_robchase]

"Not so much celebrating," Chase clarified. "Just sort of...trying to distract everyone from the fact that they just went home and had to come back. I figure some kind of beach thing. Luau."

Johnny nodded. He didn't hate being back, per se. But he could see why other people wanted distraction. "The cove would be nice. Pool party, you know? Swimsuits. Limbo. Volleyball..."

[dr_robchase]

Chase glanced to Johnny, grinning. "Are we actually planning a party?"

[sosyermom.livejournal.com]

Johnny eyed him back. "Hey, you brought it up." He found a tutu-type skirt and grinned. "I think that's enough netting-mesh type stuff. Right?"

[dr_robchase]

Chase snorted, but yanked the skirt and nodded. "I think so. I don't know, I want to throw a party. You up for it if I had it by the beach?"

"I'm always up for a party," Johnny replied, cocky posture returning. "Just tell me the date and the time and I'll be there. With bells on."

[dr_robchase]

Chase grinned. "All right," he said, a little more eager. "I was going to put up an invitation notice on the board. A...'welcome back to the island' and a 'summer kickoff' thing? Invite anyone who knows you or me?"

That was probably most of the island.

Johnny eyed Chase. "Chase. The first rule when planning a party is to know your resources. Do you have enough food and alcohol for the entire island? Do you even have enough food and alcohol for all the people you've messed around with?"

[dr_robchase]

Chase gave Johnny a glance. "Well, you didn't come to my last party..." So you wouldn't know.

He shrugged. "Maybe I'll put it off."

[sosyermom.livejournal.com]

Wow, Johnny walked right into that one. Another Chase landmine. And he'd been doing so good too.

"Hey, I meant to show. I just got distracted." He took the pieces of clothing they'd gathered and then nudged Chase with his foot. "Ok?"

[dr_robchase]

Chase shrugged. "Like I've said. I got pretty drunk and left pretty early. I don't care."

"Bullshit." Johnny sighed. God, he hated being monogamous sometimes. His life would be so much easier if he could just plant one on Chase and tell him to shut up.

He settled on the latter.

"Shut up," he said, rolling his eyes. "You are such a fucking drama queen sometimes, you know that? I'm sorry I missed your party. I didn't want to. And before you start thinking that that means I don't like you or we're not friends allow me to point out that I hiked five miles from the Hummer to the Compound just to see you today. God."

[dr_robchase]

Chase just glanced up at Johnny, feeling mildly chastened and then confused. "You came all the way up here to see me?"

Though, he'd jogged that distance many times just to see Johnny before, though he wouldn't admit.

[sosyermom.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I did." Johnny shrugged and rubbed the back of his neck. "Wanted to make sure you were okay. Hadn't seen you in too long."

[dr_robchase]

"Sorry," he apologized quietly. "I didn't realize." He smiled as best as he could. "I'm better now. That coma helped me. I mean, it helped to sleep."

"Hey, it's not a big deal. Friends do that." At least, Johnny did that. He saw Robb as often as he could, and he used to check on Sammy a lot before things got weird. He still felt bad about that and made a mental note to check on Sam before he left the compound.

"So, hey. C'mon. Let's figure out how to make a net. There's got to be like. Scissors in the clinic, right? Sharp things? And um. If we knot it together, it should work." Johnny had no idea how to make a net, but he was going to have fun trying.

[dr_robchase]

"Or we could just tie it all together and use a tree to make a pole," he opined. "Then we'd need teams."

"Dude. How lazy are you?" Johnny rolled his eyes. "C'mon. What else were you going to do this afternoon? Count cotton balls?"

[dr_robchase]

"Do inventory!" Chase protested with a wide-eyed face. "Or take a nap?"

[sosyermom.livejournal.com]

Johnny studied him. "Fine. That's cool." He turned away and headed for the stairs. "I'll take my tutu and my lingerie and my swimsuit cover and make my volleyball net."

[dr_robchase]

Chase grinned a little and headed to Johnny's side, yanking the tutu. "It's my tutu."

[sosyermom.livejournal.com]

Johnny smirked and let Chase have it. "All yours, big guy. Far be it from me to get between a man and his tutu."

[dr_robchase]

Chase ascended the stairs. "You run?" he questioned.

[sosyermom.livejournal.com]

"Hmm?" Johnny pretended he wasn't checking out Chase's ass as they went up the stairs. "Run where?"
