Dreaming of To come and Gone

[elementwizard]

The surussing of the waves always drifted Alec to sleep quickly. That, plus Phoenix made it even easier to sleep. While getting to sleep was easy, in the floppy comfiness of the bed, dreams were another matter. His mind let loose to drift among thoughts and realities of his different selves meandered through memories as well

Phoenix tends not to talk in his sleep, unless he's having a nightmare... and having had more than his usual share of those lately, when Alec's voice wakes him; his initial reaction is to reach across, taking his lover in his arms and gently trying to wake him.

"Shh.. Alec.. hey, it's all right.. wake up. Alec?"

Unfortunately Phoenix does have a tendency to shapeshift in his sleep, so Alec might find himself wrapped in feathered wings as well as arms - before the angel realises what form he's in.

"And that's not... " He blinks awake slowly, a fuzzy look in his eyes of someone still not quite up, "Lorac..." He frowns. "No.. Phoenix..." There's a bit of an embarrassed smile on his face. Calling current lovers previous lovers names isn't really that great.

He snuggles though into the angel's arms and wings, not at all minding them.

He wouldn't mind too much even if he did realise this person was a previous lover. Phoenix doesn't hold much of anything against anyone. Especially Alec. But it sounds more like the name belongs to someone Alec's afraid of.

"Yes, Phoenix." There's a smile in his voice. "No monsters, in any guise... just you, me and the sea." He strokes Alec's hair, squeezing him gently.

"What was all that about?"

He still finds it rude not to remember who he's sleeping with.

"And sea turtles. Can't forget the sea turtles." Alec sighs. "Which part?"

He's stalling.
