He let out a faint breath, snuggled close to Gabe. With no trace of ghosts nearby, this was the most at peace he had been in…a long time.
Do you really want to trust insanity? (Private with Icefire, it's pretty fooking mature, matey)

Gabe finally opened his eyes.
"Almost dinner time," he noted.
He blinked his eyes open, looking up at Gabe. He wasn't really hungry, but…he would try to eat.

"You okay with me getting up?" He asked quietly. "Or should I stay here a bit longer?"
He shrugged. "I don't…I don't know." He replied slowly.
group
"Okay then," Gabe said, thinking. "What if I get up, but I'm carrying you?"He smiled softly.
Alex blinked up at him. "Oh. I…" He shrugged a little bit.
group
"I'll only do it if you're okay with it," Gabe assured quietly.
Alex thought for a moment. "I…guess it's okay." He replied slowly.
group
Gabe nodded, wrapping his arms securely around Alex before standing. He seemed to easily hold the other to himself, heading over to start cooking with a small hum.
Alex shifted a little to wrap his arms and legs around Gabe, holding onto him.
group
Gabe looked down at Alex as he cooked, one arm still wrapped securely around him.
Alex held onto him, nuzzling his cheek softly.

When Gabe finished the food, he turned and kissed Alex's cheek lightly.
"How much do you think you can handle?"
Alex shrugged a little bit. "Not a lot." he replied softly, looking at Gabe.
group
"Okay then." Gabe picked up the plates, carrying them and Alex to sit down.
Alex held onto him quietly, leaning his head on Gabe's shoulder.
group
Gabe set the plates down next to himself and Alex when he sat down, holding Alex close a moment and kissing his forehead.
Alex smiled up at him for a moment, his smile soft and sweet.
group
Gabe smiled back, rubbing Alex's cheek lightly. He loved that smile. He reached over, offering Alex his plate.
Alex took the plate, looking down at the plate, then up at Gabe for a moment.
group
Gabe smiled softly, picking up his own fork a taking small bite.
Alex smiled back, then went back to his food, picking at it.
group
Gabe ate quietly, always talking a moment to give Alex a soft smile.
Alex kept picking at his food quietly, biting his lip a little bit.
group
Gabe kissed Alex's forehead lightly, encouraging.
Alex kept picking at his food, trying to eat more.
group
Gabe watched Alex a moment, rubbing the base of his back a little.
Alex blinked up at him for a moment, shooting him a tiny smile.
group
Gabe returned the smile, finishing his food.
