[Room 438, Early Monday Evening]

[x5_alec]

Alec had found his way back to Dean's appropriated room after Arts and Crafts, tired from keeping himself still and non-shaky in class. Curling up on one of the beds, he closed his eyes, hoping if he just stayed in bed that he'd be okay. Mostly he knew better, but he could be optimistic, at least for a while.

Again, Dean had gone looking for Alec and didn't find him in any of the usual haunts. This time though, he was pretty sure where he would find him.

And sure enough, when he opened the door to The Place, there he was.

"Hey," he said, coming in. "Cat napping?"

[x5_alec]

"Something like that," Alec said tiredly, his back to Dean as he stayed curled up on the bed he'd chosen. "You and Dawn have fun?"

[saltandammo]

"Oh yeah," Dean said, with a smirk, which faded as Alec didn't move or turn to look at him. He went over and sat on the bed beside him. "You okay?" he asked, reaching out and laying a hand against Alec's back.

[x5_alec]

"Fine," he said absently, leaning back a little at Dean's touch. "You guys didn't have sex though. She get cold feet?"

[x5_alec]

Alec trembled and clung to Dean in return, trying to concentrate on breathing as normally as he could. There wasn't anything he could do but hang on and hope it passed soon, which this one did. There'd be another soon enough though, if he didn't take something for it.

[saltandammo]

Dean relaxed slightly as the tremors going through Alec slowly faded, though he didn't let go of his double.

"You got your pills with you?" he asked, but then didn't wait for answer, remembering how hard it had been for him to form words immediatley afterward. Instead he just searched Alec's pockets, finally coming up with a baggie that had a very few of some familiar looking pills in it.

He opened the bag and took one pill out, feeding it to Alec.

[x5_alec]

Alec took the pill gratefully, then managed the word "Water" as the shaking continued to ease off. Milk would have been ideal really, but water was better than trying to swallow them dry if he had a choice.

[saltandammo]

Dean didn't like letting go of Alec, but he did so, getting up and going to the cooler that he was using until he could get a small fridge in here. He grabbed a bottle of water and brought it back to the bed.

Pulling Alec back against him, he opened the water and held it to Alec's mouth, unsure if his double would be able to hold it himself yet.

[x5_alec]

"Seriously?" Alec turned his head enough to give Dean an incredulous look. "What'd you have to promise her for that?"

[saltandammo]

"Nothing." Dean's smirk if anything got bigger. "Well other than that she didn't have to pose naked."

[x5_alec]

"See, that might have been a deal breaker," Alec said, looking back at the pictures with a sigh. He started looking through the pictures from the assignment curiously, nodding a little as he studied them. "These are nice. I don't know anything about photography, but they look good to me."

[saltandammo]

"Thanks," Dean said, still shyly pleased whenever anyone said they liked his work. "For posing and letting me cover you with mud too -- I know you thought I was crazy."

[x5_alec]

Alec nodded a little, sort of leaning into Dean's touch. "Could take the bike," he said thoughtfully. "Go to one of the cities far enough inland that it wouldn't be suspicious."

[saltandammo]

"We better go tomrrow then before your current dose wears off," Dean said. "I don't want to crash because you had a seizure when driving."

[x5_alec]

"You could always drive," Alec said with a smirk, turning his head slightly to look up at Dean.

[saltandammo]

"I don't wan to crash when I get distracted when you start twitching and fall off then," Dean amended, not missing a beat. "This is the kind of thing that's done the sooner the better. You can't tell me you won't feel relieved when you have a new bottle of pills in your hand."
