[Al's up, though it's late for him. He's usually up around dawn and everywhere in the city, gathering supplies, making deliveries, checking up on his many projects, everything from the bridges on the river to making the rounds and checking the City's walls ( Read more... )

[Surprise surprise, someone else is up, too. Frequent bouts of insomnia lately. He hasn't seen the post, but he's walking right past that room... just as the candle flickers out. He won't say anything, but he'll poke his head in the door a moment, just to see.]

[He doesn't notice him right at first, but as he turns away from the open window and reaches out to close things up, he turns around, spots him, and nearly has a heart attack.]

N-Negi!

[Christ, way to make him nearly have a heart attack, too.]

A-Al! I-I-I didn't mean to scare you, I'm sorry!

[Offline] bloodseal_soul May 8 2010, 15:33:16 UTC

[He'll just put a hand over his chest and catch his breath, sorry.]

D-Did I scare you?

[Offline] notamageiswear May 8 2010, 15:36:54 UTC

A-a little...

[He leans back against the doorframe, breathing, but offering a shy grin.]

It's alright, I should have expected that you'd be up, too.

[Offline] bloodseal_soul May 8 2010, 15:51:02 UTC

Yeah. I was debating coming and waking you up again.

[The smile says he wouldn't have, but. Al walks forwards, leaning over and sliding his fingers over the back of his neck, resting his cheek in Negi's hair.

He's still the same height, but Negi feels more solid, somehow.]

I wouldn't have minded... I haven't even been asleep yet.

[But the hold takes him a bit by surprise, even if it shouldn't. There's been... a lot more holding like this, lately. A lot more. And being used to lighter touches... He doesn't tense, but he lets out a breath, then leans forward to wrap his arms around Al's middle.]

[Offline] bloodseal_soul May 8 2010, 16:16:23 UTC

I know, but...

[Hesitation, before Al drops the thought. The touches are different because Al's needed him more for support. Slowly, he's beginning to rely on him, and Al's not entirely sure he should.]

[Offline] notamageiswear May 8 2010, 18:09:50 UTC

[And now he tenses.]

... something is bothering you.

[Offline] bloodseal_soul May 8 2010, 21:15:29 UTC

I miss her. I miss everyone.

[Offline] notamageiswear May 9 2010, 05:03:06 UTC

... I know. I know.

[His fingers clench, just a bit.]

[Offline] bloodseal_soul May 10 2010, 02:56:56 UTC

[His shoulders are trembling, silently.]

[Offline] notamageiswear May 10 2010, 04:04:14 UTC

... I've got you.

[Offline] bloodseal_soul May 10 2010, 04:20:42 UTC

[His hands tremble, and he breathes back the tears, reaching up to wipe at his eyes. A few times.]

... I hate this.

[Offline] notamageiswear May 10 2010, 04:27:09 UTC

[He squeezes tighter, trembling just a little himself, but keeping his face buried as best he can.]

It doesn't... get easier, does it...

[Offline] bloodseal_soul May 10 2010, 04:35:35 UTC

No. You just get better at it.
