Who ? Walter and Nicholas Where ? Nicholas' room and then out When ? Thursday one am What ? Walter has an idea
Walter was usually an early to bed early to rise sort of fellow even when he'd lived with Dameon who was notorious for staying up all night long. Maybe it was because of the time zone difference from being in London for so long (which seemed doubtful after so long of being in the states but Walter was eager to find an explanation) but ever since he'd returned from his holiday vacation, he'd found himself staying up later and later. Sometimes he would try to go to sleep but it was difficult to make his mind relax and Gavriel was up anyway so he ended up wasting hours browsing the internet or watching late night informercials on the television.
Tonight was one of those nights. It was a little after one in the morning, late enough that the day had switched from Wednesday to Thursday but not so late that it actually felt like a different day. He'd been reading an article on the internet about some new stars that the Hubble telescope had taken pictures of when he realized it had been a very long time since he'd been out stargazing himself, not since that night when Dameon had run across him when it was still summer break.
Despite the late hour and the fact that Nicholas was probably still asleep, Walter made a few decisions and with a smile he got up, tugging on his shoes and grabbing his coat, hat and gloves. "I'm g-going out." He told Gavriel who was up anyway and took down his telescope and tripod from the shelf in his closet and slipped out of the room. He crept as quietly as he could down the hallway which was more difficult than he thought it would be since in the silence even his feet on the carpet seemed loud.
He didn't care, though. He was doing something he shouldn't and it was exciting. Stopping outside of Nicholas door he knocked on it as quietly as he could but still loud enough that Nicholas would hopefully hear.
