Ron turned at the comment of his childhood friend and looked down at his jacket. "Really? I thought it was nice, I guess you still need to help me buy my cloths." He said with a smile as he pat the bed for her to come sit next to him. He smiled even bigger when he saw the hat, "See I have good taste." He said with a laugh as he turned to the TV. "So rain....is she OK?" He was sure Jasper knew he had feelings for Rain, she knew things about him before he knew them. Even though he hadn't said that he liked Rain, he knew there was no way she didn't know. He nodded with what she said and looked at his gloves. "Just, gotta make sure my teams OK..." He said trailing off, making up a bullshit reason that they both knew. He turned to her and just smiled for a minute. "So, what cha' getting me for christmas?" He said laughing as he got up on his knees and bounced around on the bed and held onto her shoulders like a little kid. "Tell me, tell me, tell me, telllll meeeeee!!" He said laughing a little. All of a sudden he wrapped his arms around her waist and put his head in between her shoulder and neck. He hugged her tight but not two tight, he learned over the years of hugging to control his strength, ecspecially with Jasper, knowing he might get a small shock or something. "I love you Jas..." He muffled out into her neck. It might have seemed a little weird to others but she understood. She was his sister, mother, and best friend, she was there for him when no one else was in his life. Some times he just told her that because he wanted to make sure she never forgot it, never wanting her to doubt him even if he did something bad. He felt the little shock and tensed up a little and smiled. "Love shock." He said with a chuckle, he always teased her about the small shock but just because he wanted to make it seem like she was doing it on purpose. Maybe after all these years she was.

He let her out of the hug and sat next to her again. "Anything you want to talk about?" He said wanting to get everything out in the air before they went on patrol. As much as he loved his friends when they were on patrol or a mission, that's what he was on. Just like a soldier in battle your head couldn't be anywhere else. "So, Arthur's in our group. Just give me the word and I'll leave you two alone." He said with a wink, "He's a nice guy Jas, and you deserve someone for you. If not him just think about dating, but know that I will judge them SO HARD!" He said with a smile as he stood, leaning down and kissing the top of her panda hat before walking out of the room.

On his way down the hall he passed Erin's room, he knocked on the door frame twice. "Hey Erin, it's Ron. Just wanted to make sure everything was cool." Erin was the only one on not on his team he hadn't talked to and plus he wanted to talk to her about her squad today. Ron probably came across as a little clingy in a way. He was usually butting in when people just wanted to be left alone and he was sure over the years everyone even Berkman had yelled at him for it but they all knew he was just looking out for them. Either making sure they were OK, or wanting to do something, and usually whatever they wanted to do. He wanted to make sure her head was on straight for patrol today and tell her about Rain and Derek. Derek wasn't much different but Rain seemed a little down this morning and he wanted Erin to know, to keep a eye out for her.
