Who: Boone & Dan What: Boone finally wakes up. Where: The caves, after hours.

The last thing Boone remembered was searingly intense pain. The kind of pain that knocked the wind out of you and made you forget where you were. That made the people around you mush into one stream of muffled voices and your own breathing. He very vaguely remembered murmuring incoherently about something to Dan while he was in the teachers arms, but after that... nothing. It felt like it hadn't been that long - really, it didn't. It felt like he'd been asleep for maybe a few hours. But when he found himself opening his eyes and noting just how much facial hair Dan had on him, he knew it had to have been a little more than a few hours. "Hey," he croaked out, his voice weak and rough from disuse; it was a miracle that the word was even audible. He couldn't help but smile though when he noted his hand wrapped in both of Dan's and his good leg propped up on the other man's lap. "Guess the cat's out of the bag now, huh?" he managed to get out with a small, weak grin.

Dan had waited beside him from the minute archer had given him the medication. He had gotten a few hours sleep next to him and had even eaten beside him when Sadie bought him food. As he noticed Boone waking, the teacher took hold of his hand gently and watched until he spoke. Tears pricked at the corner of his eye as he felt his empty socket sting. "Hey yourself." Her reached up to gently push a bit of Boone's hair back. "Yeah, clinging to the unconcious body of someone you love can kinda do that."

Boone couldn't help but let out a soft, raspy laugh at that. Leave it to Dan to probably be as dramatic as possible over the whole ordeal. Not that he really blamed him, though - if their situations had been reversed he probably wouldn't have been able to leave him either. He rubbed his thumb against the skin of Dan's hand and stretched with his free arm, wincing when he jostled his leg in his movements. "What happened? I didn't like... lose my leg or anything, did I?" He couldn't see it under the blanket, and while he was pretty sure he could still feel his toes he wanted to be 100% sure. People had phantom limb syndrome after all. (...Did Dan have phantom eye syndrome? He'd have to ask him at a more appropriate time.)

Dan gently ran a hand along the leg in question and laughed softly. "Your leg is fine, you did a fair bit of damage to yourself but...with time it'll heal." He just wished they had more time. At least here they were safe, at least they were staying put but if they had to leave for any sudden reason...well he would carry Boone on his back like he used to with Ash and Howie when they needed to sleep on the move. "You're gonna have to take it easy, and I think you might owe Ash a bit of a thank you. By the time Archer and I got to you he was already saving you from bleeding out."

"Oh, wow," was all Boone could really think of saying. "I definitely will thank him," he reassured him with a nod. He felt bad though that Dan hadn't gotten the chance to tell either Ash or Howie about them before it all came out. And Abby. Oh god. How had his sister been through this entire ordeal? As soon as it was morning, she would definitely be the first person he talked to. "How, um, how long have I been out?" he asked softly, reaching up to run the backs of his knuckles along Dan's cheek.

Dan nuzzled into Boone's hand and closed his eyes with a soft sigh. "Five days, five very long fucking days." He laughed softly, turning his face into the other's hand and kissing the base of his palm. "You scared the shit out of me. I thought I lost you."

Boone couldn't help but give the other man a small smirk, no matter how much it made him wince. God, this was going to suck to get over. If only they had some pain meds or something. He was pretty sure he had a bottle of advil in his bag... he stroked his thumb across Dan's lips. "Ever the dramatic. I'm not going anywhere. Especially now, I mean, literally." He gestured to his leg with a cheeky grin.

Dan kept his eye closed but aamiled at the feeling of Boone's thumb against his lips, kissing at it very briefly. "Damn right you're not, and yet somehow I feel like keeping you still is going to be a challenge." Turning his head away from the warm touch, the older opened his eye and gave a long slow look over the body he'd been clinging to for the past few days. "You know...now that people know it makes things easier. I haven't spoken to anyone about it yet, but it sorta has more of that feeling that everyone already knew."

Boone gave him a shrug in return. "Well, you're not wrong." Boone remembered after he had gotten his injury in school, it took practically everything his parents had not to just strap him to his bed all together. But Boone just... didn't like to stay still. Especially not in the God damn zombie apocalypse. Who wanted to be a sitting duck? He grabbed the other male's hand again and squeezed it. "I told you it wasn't going to be a big deal."

"I will strap you down if you don't rest, lord help me." A soft smile hovered on his features as he looked down to their hands, playing idly with Boone's pinky finger. "I guess I was just worried I'd be making myself vulnerable or you vulnerable or...it seemed so complicated at the time. The most it's done since it's been out is gotten Fletcher punched in the face and given me a sore hand."

"We'll see about that," he added with another smirk, closing his eyes and exhaling heavily. He opened one of them and reached up to tap on the former teachers head with his finger. "I think you just like to make it complicated up here too much." He opened both of his eyes and his jaw fell slightly slack at his last comment. "You punched Fletcher? What happened there? I mean, not that the douche bag didn't deserve it but, damn."

"You know, I haven't heard that in a while but you're not the only one who's told me that. Starting to think it might be true." Dan chuckled to Boone's reaction, shaking his head a little. "I actually sort of owe him an apology for it, he...he sort of began to play the devil's advocate. Made the harsh reality that things might not get better more real than I was ready for. So...I kind of lost it. Punched him in the face and then a few times in the chest."

"Now he listens to me," he stated with a playful roll of his eyes. Holding back a yawn, Boone gave another half assed shrug. "It was about time someone decked Fletcher, regardless of if he deserved it right then or not." That was one of the few things he missed about hockey. Beating the shit out of people for no reason. It really helped with any sort of aggression he had outside of the game. "What did he say to you?"

A soft laugh and Dan let his shoulders relax even more. He felt like he could breathe, like someone wasn't standing on his chest. God knew how he would have handled it if it was Ash or Howie or if Boone hadn't made it. He didn't want to think about it. "He said I had to accept that you were most likely going to...you probably weren't going to make it. That I had to realize that. And qhen I did, he got punched."

Boone frowned. Leave it to Fletcher to be a douche bag about the whole situation. He was definitely glad that Dan had socked him a few times - the mother fucker deserved a lot more than just that. But he'd chill, cause he loved Sadie, and her word was sort of law around here anyway. "Sounds like he deserved it then."

"He did..." Dan began, looking in the direcrion of echoing voices that were closer towards the mouth of the cave. "But I probably also needed to hear it. He was the one who told us where the medicine was.'

Wincing again as he shifted his weight more toward the other man, he pulled Dan's hand closer to his chest. "Medicine? For what...?" He assumed pain meds, but then again he had been out for several days and that wasn't normal... had something more drastic happened?

"You got pretty sick. Like fever sick. We thought you weren't gonna wake up to be honest." While Dan had never lost hope he had seen it on the faces of people like Austin and Ivy who had already mentally buried Boone the way they had others. It was twir coping mechanism in Dan's mind, how they prepared themselves for the inevitable. Dan, however, couldn't live without hope.

"Ohhh..." and Fletcher had been the one to lead them to medicine? Of all people? Well that was... odd. But nonetheless, he would be doing a whole round of thank you's later on. "Well, I'm glad I did," he stated, not really sure how to respond in that situation.

"Me too...and I'm sure so many others are too." As he spoke he leaned forward to press a kiss to Boone's temple. "You should get some rest."

He nodded and reached up to scratch at his eye. Dan was right - he was exhausted. Not letting go of the man's hand, he yawned and let his head fall back against the pillow beneath him. "Okay," he agreed as he closed his eyes. "When Abby gets up let her know I wanna see her," he said in a murmur as his eyes grew heavy.

We have all had a design crisis or needed we could enhance out cosmetic routine with straightforward, cheap alterations. So here are some limited and easy ways to stave off that unpleasant pimple, sustain under eye baggage at bay and have lovely pores and skin all calendar year prolonged.

Pimple Rx

Slumber greater

Have difficulty slipping arest but you’ve got fatigued your sleep aid prescription? Why not consider to capture some Z’s the natural way? Lavender is identified to market alpha waves, which are essential for restful sleep. Try soaking in a tub just before mattress with Lavender salts or Lavender oil.

Listed here is an additional idea: settle for a Lavender face pillower and pop it in the microwave on low for a couple of mins, then area within your pillowcase. Place your arms previously mentioned your brain and clasp arms, then extend your clasped arms as far to the correct as achievable (make certain you remain peaceful) and then back again over your entire body to the still left. Repeat relating to 5 times. Breathe in deeply as you do these stretches, which gets the oxygen flowing.

Ideal that Pout

We can entirely aspiration of possessing lips like Angelina-well by natural means in any case. Most of us have at the very least thought about employing a lip plumper, hoping to look in the replicate and see gloriously luscious lips smiling back at us. The mystery is currently being lips prepared for lip plumper, so it can penetrate and do its activity. This is a minor trick that will not likely cost you a dime. Practice a small sum of Vaseline on a delicate bristle tooth brush which is been moistioned with heat h2o. At any time so carefully brush lips for about 2 minutes-you might need to have to do this although seeing TV, two minutes can truly feel like completely. Take away the Vaseline with moistened toweallowte or soft washcgreat dealh and then blot dry. Apply moisturizer, sunscreen and lip plumper. Then go display off your fantastically plumped lips.

p.s. If you will not want to splurge on a keep-acquired lip plumper, dab a tiny-and we mean tiny-amount of Cayenne pepper on your lips. It’s going to sting a little, but what is a little soreness in the identify of searching gorgeous?

Infant Delicate Pores and skin

Question why some girls appear to have plump, hydrated skin even in the centre of wintertime while yours is so dry it hurts to smile? Probabilities are people other ladies are undertaking a few products in different ways-normally they’re genetically excellent and we don’t like them anyway.

As soon as it’s going to come to staying your skin hydrated it only helps make perception to drink heaps of water. Drinking water retains the cells in your body quenched, so your skin seems luminous and your urge for food is curbed (great skin and a slim determine-it truly is too for the benefit of one!). You’ve got listened to it before but we will say it yet again, get eight 8oz eyeglasses a day. Your skin will thank you.

Here’s anything you may not have heard before: dineverthelessed water is the ideal for drinking considering that chlorine and other contaminants are tremendously reduced after the water is boiled. To hydrate your skin throughout the day try a purified water mister.

Moisturizing Essentials

The best time to moisturize is instantly after bathing when your body is moist and moist. Sleek on Physique Neverthelesster, Body Product, or Body Lotion to lock in humidity. And you don’t have to shell out many funds.

Some may believe the far more expensive a moisturizer is, the more successful it will be in opposition to dry skin. But this really is a fantasy. Which is not to say expensive creams don’t make us feel more sumptuous (even if it’s just because we know how much it cost). But the good information is-specially if you don’t have a $two hundred a month beauty spending budget-is that you can still your self to radiant, sparkling skin for the cost of your every day Starbucks and muffin, just by going to your nearby drugstore. There are lots of great moisurizers that hydrate and ailment dry, thirsty skin with natural elements like shea butter and vitamin E.

Aside from practiceing lotion daily, here are some other welcoming suggestions to keep skin clean for the duration of the winter months:

Shop your shower times shorter and limit your publicity to sizzling water. Try turning on the radio and restricting yourself to just 2-three music as a e-book.

Keep away from intensive scrubbing while showering. Decide on a soft cleaning soap alternatively than an exfolient. Here’s an idea. The SALUX Beauty Skin Material gently exfoliates the skin with a special texture that stimulates blood flow, while necessitating you to use considerably less soap.

Never forget about your sunscreen! Sunshine harm can still happen with clouds in the sky, so it’s very critical to proceed to use no less than SPF fifteen every single day.

Frizz-cost-free hair

On the go and forgot your hair pomade? Don’t freak out-and undoubtedly don’t let your hair freak out. Apply a small dollup of hand lotion in your hands, then gently smooth hands over your hair. This will help to tame unruly hair. You can also use a tiny amount of Vaseline on the ends of your hair. For potential hair emergencies, make sure to decide on up one of these great goods to keep on hand and in your medication cupboard: Frederic Fekkai Glossing Cream , Biosilk Silk Treatment, which also doubles as a great skin salve, and Aveda Bright Emollient Ending Gloss.

De-puff eyes

Believe in me I have grow to be a pro at de-puffing eyes. Personal computer pressure, too little sleep, extreme sleep, pressure-you name it and it makes my eyes puff up like a product cheese wonton. If you happen to be in search of a quick resolve that’s more effective than cucumbers, try a inexperienced tea or black tea bag (it need to incorporate caffeine). Dip it in hot water then throw it in the freezer for 5 minutes. If you have some foresight pop an anti-histamine like Benedryl the evening before and you’ll wake up bag-free. Dietary supplements can help with puffiness too. MSM with Glucosamine, Flax Oil and Night time Primrose Oil seem to help ease puffiness.

Phony tan streaks

With all the publicity about skin most cancers you feel responsible getting a tan the outdated formed way. So you experimented with a self-tanner or perhaps you opted for the Mystic Tan booth. Regrettably you have been with the telltale streaks on your arms, legs, toes … all right all over the place. Don’t fret, you don’t have to wear a turtleneck and trousers right up until it fades. Hop in the shower right absent (some will inevitably come off anyway) and generously rub down with an exfoliating body scrub adopted by a rigid scrubbing with a loofah. For really undesirable situations around the ankles, feet, elbows and hands (typically the driest elements of your body), you can use a callous record to remove unsightly streaks. We don’t advocate introducing these methods into your typical routine but if you’ve got a hot date or a large occasion you can’t specifically show up looking like you got in a struggle with a can of orange spray paint possibly.

Greater yet–stay away from rubbing your skin uncooked with St. Tropez Self-Tan Remover. Such as magic it eradicates unsightly stains from your palms and other body parts if you mess up (the only caveat: it only operates up to four hrs after you apply self tanner). Locate it at Sephora, Tub and Body Performs, Victoria’s Secret and Crimson Doorway Salons.

For a more even self-tanner software, try Tan Airbrush in a Can. We enjoy it!
