Gabe sighed softly. He couldn't even make food for Alex…
Do you really want to trust insanity? (Private with Icefire, it's pretty fooking mature, matey)
group
Alex held onto him, not wanting Gabe to disappear.
group
"I'm right here," Gabe promised gently. "And I'm not going to leave."
Alex sniffled softly.
group
Gabe closed his eyes.
Alex peeked up at him for a moment.
group
"You mean so much to me," Gabe said slowly, opening his eyes again.
Alex smiled faintly at him.
group
Gabe smiled slightly back.
Alex closed his eyes, pressing close to Gabe.
group
Gabe sighed softly, arms tightening around Alex.
Alex sniffled faintly.
group
"I've got you," Gabe said softly again.
He nodded faintly.
group
Gabe closed his eyes again.
(So, I was thinking of things to 'motivate' Alex and force him to the West. I've got:)
(1. running from the police)
(2. Moves west to get away from all the people)
(3. Henry is still an ass)
(I'm leaning towards 2 or three, but one could be interesting too)
Alex sniffled softly.
(I think 1. might actually be a bit more realistic? Since he's an ex-asylum inmate, and he's living in a dead man's house, and Henry was murdered?)
group
(Right! Should we have Gabe realize this, or should they have to escape when the police are knocking on the door?)
Gabe lightly kissed Alex's head.
(hhh I'm not sure)
Alex looked up at him carefully. "I'm sorry…"
group
(neither am I…)
"I… I know, Alex." Gabe gently kissed Alex's cheek.
(D:)
Alex shook his head a little.
group
(ohnu what will we do??)
Gabe fell silent.
(DD: I don't knooooooow)
Alex clung to him.
group
(DDD: Screw it lets go with have realizing it-)
Gabe laid with Alex a moment, but then he stiffened a moment. What the hell were they doing? Two men had been found dead in a park, and someone from an insane asylum was loving in one man's house and tied to the other.
"Alex," Gabe said, trying to remain calm.
(ah ok)
Alex looked up at him, raising his eyebrows a little. "Yeah?" He asked, a little unsure.
group
"Alex, I… You can't stay here." Gabe bit his lip. "Think. They'll… They'll blame you for what happened."
Alex looked up at him, going pale. "B-but…" He curled up into a tight ball.
group
"Alex," Gabe said gently. "We have to go."
Alex looked up at him fearfully.
group
Gabe pulled away a bit, sitting up.
"Please, Alex, I can't- I can't pack for you like this. You- you need to head West."
"I…" He looked very small as he stared at Gabe uncertainly.
