After some time downstairs, where he'd been filling his belly with warm food and being tended to, the ashen blond had dragged his full and tired self to his room planning on simply stripping and climbing into bed with Mason. He didn't care about a shower, or a bath, for once and was rather focused on being warm and getting some much needed sleep.
What he wasn't expecting was a dim light spilling out from his room, indicating that someone was awake. "Mason?" Whispering the others name as he peeked into their bedroom.
"Are you awake?" The question was just above a whisper, incase the other was asleep. He was hoping he was, he didn't like the idea of being the reason for the other being awake.

"You tell me." Came the irritated and tired voice from the bathroom that connected onto their shared room. Quite frankly, he'd been up for a while. After moving in, Mason had become sensitive to whenever Alex moved in the bed. From simply shifting to getting out of entirely. Mason stepped out, leaning onto the door frame. His gaze was fixed on the blonde, and not moving any time soon. "You look like s**t." He said, any typical warmth or concern gone. "I don't know where you want to start, and quite frankly, I don't give a ********, but you better start somewhere and explain what the <********> you think you're doing, Alex." He understood, Alex put certain things above them. He got it, really, he did. But that didn't mean he had to like it. "Come here."

"I feel like it also. Special mission gone...odd. I'm not entierly sure what to make of it all in fact. I'm surprised you didn't get the call when it turned into a battle." Though he was somewhat glad for it as well, it meant the other was safe.
"I got hit in the face by a traitor...two traitors actually." One of whom he'd brought into the Negaverse so long ago. Shaking his head he did find himself regreatting it almost instantly.
"I will, you know I will." But right now he wanted to just feel the others warmth, and comfort. Stepping over to the other, shedding his shirt as he went, he shivered in the cool air as he huddled against the others larger frame. "Myself and a few others were called in by the Queen and told to tell no one about what was happening. Aliens visiting and keeping with the senshi and knights. We were tasked to gather more energy. We could order our teams to but not tell them it was needed or even hint that anything had changed. Just that we wanted more energy - not the Negaverse." No, nothing to hint at an issue or anything which may alert someone to things happening.
"We weren't told why they were here - just that they were." Pressing his cheek to the others chest despite the pain. One hand reaching up toclutch at the others top. "I wanted to tell you, I did question if we could even mention to our teams about a need to collect energy...that quotas were going up. I was told no, we couldn't." He had wanted to tell Mason, of course he had, though he had been glad he'd not been involved in the battle. "I didn't risk telling you...I don't know how much theyhh can see and tell." Who knows really, could they be sure of anything?
"Bath and I'll tell you the rest, about tonight?" He was sort of hoping to share a bath with Mason, he was tired and sore, he wanted some personal time now.

"Good." Mason spat, scowling as the smaller man crawled over towards him. He let the other rest against him for a moment before taking a step back and separating them again. He snatched up the other's face, albeit feeling just the slightest bit guilty when the other hissed in response. "Maybe next time, don't block with your face." Mason chided, his tone just the slightest bit softer. The taller man turned the other's face gently, first one way then the other. "At least you didn't break your nose." A few nasty cuts but, nothing time couldn't handle. He then circled like a vulture, checking Alex over entirely. It didn't look like anything was broken... or sprained. That was good... Maybe. "Bath is already set up." He muttered, shoving Alex further into the bathroom before rooting around for some pain killers.

Well, he didn't expect things to be easy. He might wish they were but he knew they wouldn't be. At least here they could talk and explain things to each other. It wasn't a game of omitting things and stretching the truth as much as possible, in order to avoid lying. This was better.
"I didn't exactly try and block with my face. Traitor general decided the idea of becoming aknight was appealing. On her way to a princess she decided to punch me in the face while I was heading to handle another issue." Rolling his eyes as he let the other check him over. For as harsh as Mason was he knew the other cared and was making sure he wasn't going to pass out, or didn't need a hospital.
"No, that was someone else. I saw them get hit with something like a shovel in the face." Shuddering at the thought of that, at the mental image, he headed further into the bathroom, stripping as he went. "Join me?" He knew it wasn't likely to happen but he wouldn't mind the idea, not that he was planning anything other than talking and trying not to fall asleep in the tub.
"The aliens....from what I could gather had an old allience with the negaverse...or some sort of a deal. At least some of them. They came here and were working with the senshi and knights but it seems a leader of theirs threw the other under the bus...took his starseed. Apparently he was supposed to die a long time ago, by our hands, and didn't. So we were to help now, somehow, and we were told not to attack the aliens, due to whatever alliance we had. The senshi and knights seemed shocked by this turn of things." It had all disolved into chaos. He'd thought the aliens were also enimies till things started to reveal themselves. The senshi and knights would always be the enemy...but they'd thought they were in an alliance with the aliens. It had been a mess.
"Two royal senshi....there was a lot going on." An explosion, lots of corrupting and purification, and all sorts of drama. He hadn't seen the explosion but he knew it had happened, he'd been told as much. And he knew he might be digging his own grave by mentioning two royals being there. He knew he'd be digging his own grave when, not if but when, he mentioned an explosion.
"I didn't know it would disolve into the mess it did." Climbing into the tub slowly. gingerly. Sighing as the heated water enveloped his fair skin and warmed it.

Mason rolled his eyes. "You think anyone who doesn't agree with you is a traitor." He said flatly, digging through a drawer. "Maybe you deserved it anyway." The blonde added, muttering under his breathe. He made a face at the thought of getting hit with a shovel. No thanks. Standing, he leveled Alex with a flat stare as he opened the pain killer bottle. "You. Wish." Alex was lucky he even had a bath ready and didn't have to wait. Grabbing a small cup he filled it with water before passing it off to Alex. He listened without interruption as Alex prattled on about the battle. He wondered vaguely about the supposed alliance between them and the Negaverse, what it meant for them, all of them. He had been about to sit next to the tub when he recoiled as if burned. " Alexandre! Two? Are you ******** kidding? You could have died. What were you thinking!" He probably wasn't. Mason groaned, scrubbing at his face. "This is absurd Alex."

"It's not that, they litterally changed sides. There are plenty in our own organization who don't agree with me...or even like me." He wouldn't be too surprised if some would consider throwing him in front of an attack, and not just to save themselves. "
Leaning back in the tub he sighed, letting his lids fall to half mast. Mason knew he disliked pain killers, he did his best to avoid them, but these weren't the heavy duty sort you needed a script for. "You aren't so mad that you'll make me sleep in a guest room?" He questioned, turning his head towards the other, right before the other reacted to his announcment of there having been two royals involved.
Wincing at the loud noise he shook his head. "i didn't exactly plan or even know they'd be there. One of them tried to kill me in the past....but I didn't go after either of them this time. I kept to the task...till I got knocked out from a heavy dose of cinnamon. I couldn't breath and it stung..." And while he didn't mind cinnamon in foods he did not need it up his nose and choking him.
"I did my best to keep safe..I stayed away from the royals." Even if he had wanted to go for them. He'd been too confused by the changing of alliances which seemed to have been happening, and all the chaos going on. He'd been ganged up on as well, at least it felt that way. "I did the best that I could." He still didn't know how Mason wasn't alerted to things. Reaching for the water and pills he took them slowly, he really did dislike taking medications of any kind.

"I'm not elaborating on this further." He grumped. At least the Negaverse had some sort of royalty. His faction didn't have anything. Not really anyway.
Mason sighed softly, giving has hand a light shake. "I know..." He muttered, picking up on the others thoughts. "It's just enough to help you sleep through the night. I won't make you take anymore then that." He shook his hand again, urging the other to take the pills. "Nah. If I'm going to put thag kind of aalt in your wounds, I'd sleep in there ans you can have your room."
"It's Order, Alex. They're always there..." Alex's obsession with revenge was going to gt him killed one day. He threw Alex a look, wondering how in hell he passed out on cinnamon of all things, but didn't voice his concerns.
When Alex took the pills, he finally relented and reached down to comb a hand through his boyfriends hair. "I know."

Laughing softly as he took dow nthe pills, one than the other. "It's our room, so your allowed to throw me out if I mess up. Our home and our room." Something he wanted the other to understand. It might have once been just his home, one which he'd allowed fridns and allies to live in. He'd shared it with a previous partner. But now it was Mason's as well as his own....it wasn't just his. And his cousin's home as well.
"I know they're always there. I wish this war could just end so we can live life peacefully." So they could move on in things and settle into a normal life. But the war continued and he wasn't going to just leave...he couldn't. How could you just leave something like this when you knew it was going on? When you knew who won would determine a lot of things...for everyone?
"It'll help me sleep but your warmth and presence will help more." Cheesy as it may sound it was true. He didn't like to sleep alone anymore, he'd grown used to sharing a bed and stealing the body heat of someone else. He enjoyed the time spent curled up, and around, someone else.
"Help me wash up?" He asked lightly, trying to go for some sort of puppy dog look. "Next time I'll try and be more careful. It wasn't easy this time, not with royals and all the chaos." He'd try and do better in taking out order before they could hurt him.
