"Say you want both," Gabe said, knowing it was a lie. "Try to appease her." The woman was still sat on top of Alex.
Do you really want to trust insanity? (Private with Icefire, it's pretty fooking mature, matey)

"I…uhm…want both?" Alex said slowly, biting his lip again.

The woman pulled away a bit, dressing herself.
"…How?"
"What do you mean, how?" he asked, eyebrows pulling together a little. He grabbed his shirt from where she had tossed it, pulling it over his head.
group
"How could you want both? People only want one or the other, and even then it's just because they don't know the natural way." The woman dressed herself fully, sitting across from Alex.
Alex clenched his jaw a little bit, and shrugged faintly, looking out the window.
group
The woman looked confused, but she went back to ignoring Alex. She'd had her fun. Gabe pulled himself onto Alex's lap, wrapping his arms around the other.
Alex closed his eyes, leaning his forehead on the window, trembling faintly.
group
"I-I'm so sorry," Gabe said softly. He held Alex close, trembling himself.
Alex didn't respond, just curled up a little bit.
group
Gabe held Alex tightly, squeezing his eyes shut. There was nothing he could do to protect Alex…
Alex trembled faintly, wishing the woman could leave so he could talk to Gabe.
group
The woman sat there a while more, but eventually she stood, leaving without a word.
Alex relaxed a little when she left, turning to lean into Gabe, trembling and trying not to cry.
(gtg sorry)
group
(ah okie!)
Gabe wrapped his arms more securely around Alex.
"I-I'm so s-sorry, Alex," he said softly, running his fingers through Alex's hair.
He started crying softly.
group
Gabe held Alex close.
"I've got you," he said softly.
"W-why…why did she d-do that?" he asked, clinging to Gabe and crying.
group
"I… I don't know…" Gabe hated giving Alex this answer, but what else could he do?
Alex shuddered faintly, curling into a little ball. "I d-don't understand…"
group
Gabe ran his Ingersoll through Alex's hair, over and over. Neither did he…
Alex leaned into the comforting touch, still crying.
group
Gabe held Alex close, still giving his gentle touch.
Alex's shoulders shook a little, and he stayed curled in a ball, crying against Gabe.
group
"I've… I've got you now…" Gabe gently kissed Alex's head.
"I t-told her I d-didn't w-w-want to." he babbled. "Sh-she wouldn't s-stop. She wouldn't stop."
group
"She's gone now," Gabe said quietly, mostly staying quiet for the most part. "She's gone, she's stopped."
He was still crying, trembling in the seat and curled into a little ball.
group
Gabe gently kissed Alex's head gently.
"She wouldn't stop." he said again, sniffling.
