Letting out a loud yawn with the sound of a shuffling newspaper filling his ears along with the dripping sound of brewing coffee. It was still early, only around 9 am which for him was unusual for him to be up so early. He wasn't sure why he got up so early and couldn't go back to sleep, but in his mind it was just whatever. Letting his head thunk back on the back of the couch, he set the paper

down to the side and rubbed at his eyes under his glasses.

She'd been awake for hours....been maybe....6 now? Not really able to sleep at all, Daina had been sitting in the corner of the kitchen for hours. So when she heard Alfred plunk onto the couch, she squeaked in surprise. The girl looked up, green eyes bleary from a huge lack of sleep, "Hey...Al..."

"Eh?" He asked through a loud yawn, hand covering his mouth as he looked at the girl with his one open eye. "What's up k--..." He cut himself off to take note of her appearance, the dark circles and the glassiness of her eyes...Oh hell. Sighing, he patted at the seat next to him on the couch. "Alright, what's going on?"

She blinked, smiling, "Nah, I'm fine." She moved to sit on the floor. If she sat on the couch, she'd probably pass out, "Nothing's going on...I'm okay." A lie. She was worried....about something concerning her nephew...and the guy she liked

"....Ok, you don't look ok." Leaning forward and resting his chin on the palm of his hand, he raised a brow and giving her a small grin. "Come on kiddo, it'll be just kept between you and me. What's up?"

She grinned. That was why she liked talking to Al. He was like a brother to her, and helped her so much, "...Danny and Trent..." She wondered if he'd know what she was talking about.....

"What about them?" He asked, blinking with a slight tilt of his head. He had a theory as to what she was hinting at, he was pretty sure that he knew what she was talking about.

"...Did something....happen with them while I w I mean....They're both.....There's something... ." She brushed a hand through her hair, eyes watering slightly, "Please Tell me I'm just imagining things."

"I can't answer you if you don't tell me what you're talking about." Sighing and scratching at the back of his neck, he looked at her over his glasses. He wanted to be sure what she was asking before he actually opened his mouth and potentially say something stupid.

Curling into herself, she whispered, "Did something happen between them when I was gone, Al? Something.....you know......" She took a slow breath, looking away, ".....THAT way?" Her voice was soft, nervous.

"........" Crap. Just....Crap. Double ******** crap. He couldn't help but let out a small puff of air, hand pushing his bangs out of his face. He really didn't know what to tell her, or even if he should.

His reaction practically answered her question all on its own, "....Thanks Alfred..." She whispered. Rubbing her eyes, she sighed, "Looks like everyone missed me alright." Sarcasm, but her tired-nature just started getting heavier.

Frowning, he pushed himself up from the couch and walked toward her, getting down on his knees and pulled her into a firm hug. "...Look, all I know is that it was an experimental...Kiss from what I've heard. I know they both missed you, they've talked a lot about wanting to have you back. That it was boring without having you around."

Her laugh was bitter, and she curled into him, "Sure....." Dammit...Alfred was warm, "I knew I was right in the beginning. Trent likes Danny, doesn't he?" Her words were tired. and kind of....heavy.

"...I think he does." Lightly petting at her hair and tucking a piece behind her ear, he looked down at her with a small shake of his head. "You're going to need to talk it over with them, that's all you can really do. I can't do anything to help you with this one."

9:08:20

She made a tsking sound, looking down. "Sure....whatever, Al." Daina wanted to believe him, she really did, but....It kinda stung. A lot.

"......Just trust me on this, all of you need to work it out on your own. I can't help you, I can't tell you what to do. You just have to do what you need to do and talk to them and see if it was a big misunderstanding or something like that."

9:17:22

Wings of Fancy
She nodded, sleepily, her head laying on his shoulder, "Mm...hnn..." God...it had been days.....And he was so warm and comfortable....



"You look exhausted kiddo." Chuckling quietly, he lightly pet at her hair with a small smile. "You should go get some sleep.:

9:26:02

The petting lulled her slowly to sleep on his shoulder, with only a , "Mm...hm" Response. And after that, she couldn't be woken, so tired was she

Shaking his head with a small smile, he carefully picked her up and carried her to the couch and laid her down on the cushions. "Get some sleep kid...You need it."
