"You've done well," Gabe said. "You've only had… Occurrences because of your surroundings."
Do you really want to trust insanity? (Private with Icefire, it's pretty fooking mature, matey)

Alex shrugged his shoulders, closing his eyes and letting out a breath.

Gabe watched Alex a moment, then laid back down next to him.
Alex kept his eyes closer, hands resting on his stomach.
group
Gabe hummed a little in satisfaction, closing his eyes. The sun felt good.
Alex shifted a little, letting out a quiet breath.
group
Gabe looked over at Alex.
Alex's face was still tipped towards the sun.
group
Gabe let out a soft breath. Alex looked so… Nice. The admiration shown in his eyes.
Alex let out a faint breath, his brown hair streaming out into the grass.
group
Gabe just watched Alex. The sun was slowly lowering in the sky as the day continued.
Alex was starting to fall asleep, laying in the grass.

Gabe finally sat up as the sun was setting.
"Alex," he said softly. "We should get going."
Alex opened his eyes drowsily. "Oh. Okay." he replied, sitting up.

group
Gabe opened the door for Alex when they got back to the apartment, letting him go first. However, the ghost was inside already, in the bedroom.
Alex tensed a bit when he felt the presence of the ghost, slowing down a little bit.
group
Gabe noticed the change in Alex.
"What's wrong?" He asked gently.
"There's…the…the ghost again…"
group
Gabe pursed his lips, then stepped back.
"Then we'll stay somewhere else."
"But…this is your home…" he said slowly.
group
"It's yours too," Gabe said softly. "And if you can't go in right now, then we'll go somewhere else for now. Maybe try to find a way to get the ghost to leave."
Alex looked up at him, not really understanding. "But…"
