Closed: Time for a New Back Up Plan

[daleysebastian]

There were a million things happening that week. Sebastian wasn't in the mood to deal with any of them. He also might have put himself on a new version of exile. Self-imposed exile. That wasn't actually very new for him, but with the big secret out to essentially everyone he knew, Sebastian had reverted to old ways. Habits and all that

To say that the past few days had been overwhelmingly strange was a bit of a drastic understatement, one that Reid been doing his best to process and keep up with as the post-full moon repercussions unfolded

Normally, Sebastian was a light sleeper. It was hard to get a jump on him, even accidentally. He was so exhausted that it took Reid actually attempting to wake him up for it to happen. Even then, it was slower than usual and slightly more disorienting.

"Huh?" Sebastian blinked, rubbing at his eyes for a moment before looking up. It took an extra few seconds for him to put the pieces together for what Reid was doing there. "Hi. What?"

It wasn't actually shocking. Sebastian had been getting progressively more used to Reid just being there more often than he wasn't. He tried not to think about that too much, and they never talked about it, but it was one of the more comforting things happening in his life at the moment

"Hello. Yeah," Reid greeted in return, lips twitching with the force of trying to contain a laugh as Sebastian blinked himself awake, looking every bit like sort of post-nap groggy child or sleepy puppy (though he'd be damned if he was ever caught admitting those musings out loud).

He moved one of the stacks of journal back from the corner of the tabletop, careful not to disturb anything else (as haphazard as it might seem, he knew all about disorganized organization, and to hell with anyone that dared to mess with his system) before grabbing the knocked over chess piece and seating himself on the edge of the desk, absently twiddling with the marble figure as he raised a teasing eyebrow down at Sebastian.

"Sleep well?"

"Actually, kind of," Sebastian huffed a laugh and shrugged his shoulders. At the moment, any sleep was good sleep, though, so that probably didn't count for very much.

"They say sleeping bent over a desk is the best way to do it." He was still waking up, voice sounding lethargic, but he got it together a little more as he watched Reid carefully shift things around, making sure not to damage Sebastian's semblance of a system. Not for the first time, he appreciated that Reid got itHe got distracted for a moment, eyes caught on Reid's fingers and the way he twisted and turned the king in his hands. When he shifted, a bit of wayward floo powder caught his attention. At least he knew for sure it was working now and the charms were sticking to their timetables well, but it seemed silly
