Gabe stretched a little, sighing. His day at work had been long, but he wasn't sure he'd be able to get to sleep. He'd probably be up all night thinking about Alex's… Abilities.
Do you really want to trust insanity? (Private with Icefire, it's pretty fooking mature, matey)

Alex set the plate aside, taking a deep breath. He shook his head a little bit.
group
Gabe seemed satisfied with how much Alex had ate now. He picked the plate up, going to put it away.
"Thank you," he said when he came back.
Alex nodded a little bit. "I… why are you thanking me?"
group
"Just because," Gabe said with a grin.
Alex looked at him. "Uhm… alright." He said slowly.
group
Gabe sat back down on the bed. It was getting late.
Alex lay down beside him after a bit, curling on his side.
group
Gabe pulled one of his few books to himself, reading. He lightly rested his hand on Alex.
Alex pulled the blankets up around his body, glancing up at Gabe for a moment.
group
Gabe looked over at Alex when he felt the other shifting around, giving him a small smile. He himself would be staying up for a while.
Alex closed his eyes, tired from seeing the ghost today.
group
Gabe read a bit more, but long after Alex fell asleep he was just sitting on the bed, thinking.
Alex kept sleeping, curled up on the bed with his brown hair spread messily over the pillows.
group
It wasn't until the earliest hours of the morning that Gabe laid down next to Alex. He was being careful not to wake Alex up.
Alex kept sleeping calmly. It was a good thing he hadn't had nightmares again, a good thing he hadn't woken up thrashing and crying.

Gabe sighed gently. He was laying right next to Alex, and slowly, finally fell asleep.
Alex moved a little, snugglign into Gabe's side.
group
Gabe woke up late in the morning. Thankfully, he wasn't needed at work.
Alex was still asleep, curled up close to Gabe.
group
Gabe smiled a little, sitting up.
Alex shifted slightly.
group
Gabe got off of the bed, tucking Alex in more securely before going to make breakfast.
Alex let out a quiet hum, still sleeping.
group
Gabe eventually finished cooking, bringing in two plates of food.
"Alex," he says softly.
Alex shifted a little, still half-asleep.
group
"Alex," he said again. He set one plate down, putting his hand lightly on Alex.
Alex opened his eyes at the touch, blinking at Gabe.
group
"Alex, I've got breakfast." Gabe sat down on the bed next to Alex.
Alex nodded, sitting up with the blankets wrapped around his shoulders. "M'kay…"
