It was easy to tell Damon didn't want to go back to being just another ordinary human. Alex didn't mind being human. Sure he liked being a hero to people when he could be, but he was content the way he was, though he could acknowledge that might have been because it was all he knew.
Relaxed fingers ran through Damon's hair as they talked, simple yet intimate. He shook his head, no. "I didn't have them when I was gone," he answered. "I'm having them again, but it's all repeats of the same old shit." Drown, drown, and drown again, feel like shit in the end. Lose Tommy all over again once his eyes were open.
