"Julien would miss me when he's home," Alfie grinned, then shrugged. "You'd probably understand a lot more of what he talks about when he comes home than I do though, he's about a thousand times smarter than me, if you haven't noticed." And Alfie would never tell him, but sometimes he got a little bored of not understanding anything his boyfriend talked about when it came to charms and theoretical work.
"I didn't really know you were looking for a roommate again, though. I figured when you really started looking, Ellie might move in with you." He had no idea why he'd thought that, but Alfie sometimes assumed a lot of things that didn't make much sense.
