Jude could feel him staring. It was just annoying at first, but then it'd become aggrivating. Ruby wasn't around, he wasn't safe and her husband was just staring at him.

"Take a picture, man, or back off," he finally said, not even opening his eyes.

smart_alec494 May 6 2008, 04:39:34 UTC

He took the candy cane out of his mouth. "Been there, and all that. Eidetic memory, dude." Apparently Jude was a light sleeper. Like everyone else in the family.

not_heyjude May 6 2008, 04:43:24 UTC

Oh a funny one. Because he hadn't had enough of those.

What did Ruby see in this ... child? He'd have to ask the next time they were alone. However, for now he was sure he wouldn't be getting back to sleep any time soon so he sat up, stretching his legs out in front of him and draping his arms across the back of the couch.

"Do you want anything in particular?"

smart_alec494 May 6 2008, 04:49:07 UTC

"Tons. But most of it I don't think you could give me." He shrugged. "I didn't actually mean to wake you." Which is true. He was often up at this hour and apparently it was a good thing he usually padded around with out anything but natureal light.

not_heyjude May 6 2008, 04:53:38 UTC

"Can't sleep without Lit'le Red, yeah?" He leaned back a little and nodded. He understood that. He also understood that even though he'd know Ruby longer, he was the newcomer, the guest.

He should have been honored. Mostly, he was just bored.

And startlingly awake. Bugger.

smart_alec494 May 6 2008, 04:58:19 UTC

"Its easier with Ru, but I could crawl in with Ally if I wanted to." Figured that Jude had better get used to the musical beds and people. "Honestly though? I'm usually up around now. Nocturnal-ish."

not_heyjude May 6 2008, 05:01:54 UTC

The only bed Jude intended on being in was Ruby's. And if the guy didn't sleep, he didn't see the big deal about it, but humans... they were special. The sarcasm there was an understood, you see.

He shrugged in reply.

"Is it that you don't like me much? That you don't like me because I married Ru? Or that you don't know me and are leaning toward the fact that I'm to much of a smart ass to tolerate." He raised a questioning eyebrow and put the candy cane back into his mouth.

not_heyjude May 6 2008, 05:26:52 UTC

"I don't like anyone that close to Red," he said calmly, pulling a leg up to rest on his knee. He looked extremely comfortable, and fact was, he was. "She doesn't think when it comes to that. And yeah, I don't like you because you married her."

smart_alec494 May 6 2008, 05:33:17 UTC

"What is so bad about the fact that I married her?" He played with his wedding ring, he did it a lot when he talked about her. A nervous habit that he'd allowed himself to keep.

not_heyjude May 6 2008, 05:42:47 UTC

Jude regarded Alec closely, not shifting from his relaxed position, but not looking as relaxed.

"She's not mine anymore."

smart_alec494 May 6 2008, 05:46:59 UTC

He gives a little cat snort. "Learn to take a longer veiw. No matter how you cut it, I'm mortal. You just gotta out wait me." Screw this standing shit. It was his sofa. He padded over to it and settle on the arm, feet in the seat. "Besides, am I really the first person you've ever had to learn to share with?"

not_heyjude May 6 2008, 06:04:01 UTC

He could feel how warm the kid was from his spot. He knew the most base and selfish reason Ruby liked him, now. Body heat.

As for being the only one? "Yeah."

smart_alec494 May 6 2008, 06:09:01 UTC

He was so buying Ruby and this guy electric blankets. For serious. "I know for a fact that I'm not the first person she's been in love with." He gestured dismissively with the candy cane. "Or was that before you?"

not_heyjude May 6 2008, 06:11:43 UTC

"Nevan died before she did, when she was still human," Jude explained conversationally. No, he was not jealous of Alec. He just... had Ruby longer. Seniority if you will.

And maybe he was a little jealous, in the most simplistic of ways. Ruby didn't like the couch, so she slept in the bed. And Jude slept on the couch.

smart_alec494 May 6 2008, 06:24:04 UTC

"It sucks hard core when they die before you." Simply statment of fact. He looked out the window and down at two units of X7s playing some sort of game in the dark five stories down. Bat kids, man, bat kids.

"Look." He gave a half shrug. "I know you're her family. And we both know I'm the only reason you're being kept at a distance. You just have to give me some time." He didn't bother appologizing. It wouldn't change anything.
