Alec went to Jimmy's room and knocked on the door. He'd seen him, and hid from him, earlier in the day. He'd spent the day trying to decide whether he wanted to see him, and whether he was drunk enough, or sober enough (he couldn't decide which was better), to face him.

He'd finally settled on sober, and showered and changed to make himself presentable. He waited for the door to open and thrust a small box at the other man. "I made you something," he said. "I've been drunk for two days."

Alec seemed to melt into it, then laid his head on Jimmy's shoulder. "I don't know either," he admitted. "You just do."

He traced his thumb along the angle of the other man's jaw absently. "Even when you go to sleep... when you come back... when," not if, when, "this happens again, you'll still stay. You'll let me stay. Like..." I matter. But the words wouldn't come out, so he just shrugged.

	"I like having you here." It had been a long time, a very long time since Jimmy had something like this. It was strangely peaceful. "Can't see a point in dumping you out of bed." His jaw tightened through a long pause before he said quietly, "You won't want to spend the night." A hard admission for him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I know." His voice was barely audible. "But 'til then? I'm sure you've got movies on your laptop. Or something." He lifted his head again to look Jimmy in the eye. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Jimmy winced faintly as the everpresent music inside his head shifted. The movie in my mind. The dream they leave behind. A scene I can't erase. "What I don't have can be downloaded, thousands of vids to choose from. You name it, I've probably got it, considering."

Considering four people were gathering the links, with four very different sets of tastes. "Or there's a game on." And a tuner in his laptop to pick up the live broadcast. It wasn't football, not this time of year, but soccer would do, or baseball. In the absence of football, Jimmy wasn't entirely picky about which sport to have on.

	Alec wrinkled his nose at the suggestion of watching any kind of game. "Jock," he said, but his tone was teasing. "Pick whatever you want. I'll just insert my own commentary if I don't like it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The advantage to the tuner was that it was already in the laptop, and there was a remote control on the small table next to the bed, which meant he didn't actually have to get out. He rolled slightly towards Alec, reaching across him to grab the remote. Pressing a button, the vid of choice was sports -- baseball -- simply because that's where it was last tuned.

	Alec smirked as he leaned back against Jimmy. "Don't say I didn't warn you." (Reply to this) (Parent)
