After hanging up with Emil, Adam slipped over to the futon, sitting on the floor next to where Gideon's head was. He tilted his head and stared for a long time at the boy, just studying his face, the line of his jaw, the arch of his nose and brow, the curve of his lips. A soft warm smile spread over the vampire's mouth at the thought that Gideon was his.

Reaching up, Adam moved a stray strand of hair from Gideon's brow. Then, a quick swipe of his tongue over his lips wet them and he leaned in, placing a light, chaste kiss upon Gideon's mouth in an attempt to wake him as gently as possible.

Gideon stirred momentarily, as if he was about to wake up from that, but wound up turning onto his side, his back now facing Adam thanks to the meds. A while ago, he would've woken up from a mouse skittering across the floor. Now, not so much, and that, to him at least, was a good thing.

A light chuckle sounded from Adam. He lifted himself to his knees and leaned over Gideon, returning to staring at him, brushing matted hair from the boy's face so that his view wasn't obstructed from it.

"Hey Gideon" Adam whispered against his ear softly.

There was an instant whacking motion, a soft brush to be more precise, of Gideon's left arm, but then he turned back and smiled a little through a yawned, "Morning."

"Good evening" Adam corrected the boy and smiled with his face just inches from the other's. "It's nearly nine o'clock. And I've got some good news"

Gideon could've mentioned that since he had just woken, it was technically morning for him, but being three-quarters of sleep, he wasn't going to get into that kind of babble, so he just plainly asked, "Oh?"

Pressing his lips together, Adam nodded, nearly grinning like a kid in a toy store. "Mhm"

"Well then," Gideon said in a yawn. "Since I'm up," close enough. "Lets here it."

"I got us a bed" Adam said simply "And maybe a few other items. Though it's all on loan until I can afford to buy the stuff"

Gideon blinked, trying to hold back an eye roll. "Y'know you could just get a post-it note with a tally of IOUs." Not that he didn't mind having anyone else involved - it just seemed easier.

"Well, I'm tired of the floor and Emil's willing to offer up a bed for us to use." The vampire's words came out a little more bitter sounding than he intended.

"Who?"
