[Room 311, Tuesday Night]
After his date with Jaye at Fast Eddie's was cut a little short but not yet because SP yay, Alec headed back to his room.
Letting himself in, he was relieved to find that Tyler was absent, at least for the moment, and he used the opportunity to lean back against the door as he collected himself. He'd messed up a few shots, easy ones, because his hands hadn't been steady enough; it hadn't even been a day since his last pill, so what was going on?
Taking long and deep breaths to calm down, stave off the shaking, Alec wondered if he was just developing a resistance; it wasn't a far-off idea, really. Extremely possible even that he needed more than before and would keep needing more until it didn't work anymore. Dammit but that was a scary thought.
Pushing away from the door, he walked slowly to his bed and pulled out the bottle from the bedside table. He shook out a handful of the pills and swallowed them one by one with the water he'd left there that morning. Later he could try and figure out what dose he should be taking, maybe talk to Dean and come up with a plan if that didn't work.
Taking off his shoes and his shirt, he tossed the bottle back into the drawer and crawled under his blankets. As he curled up, pulling the covers up over his shoulders, he wondered tiredly if he'd made a mistake in leaving Manticore. At least there they had the drugs, might have been able to fix the X5 defect at some point. Here? He just had to hold on and hope.
As the pills worked their magic, he fell into a deep and heavily medicated sleep.
