Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alec been tired, exhausted really when he collapsed on his bed at curfew time. Sleeping soundly with little noise, the red head had rolled here and there occasionally stretching in his sleep, yawning tiredly.

A feeling of being watched stirred him at one point, causing him to roll onto his back. That feeling of being hovered over had him groggily opening his eyes. He'd been asleep for several hours, and it was very late judging by the light in the bunk room. However, when his eyes set on the form of Henrik of all people Alec was surprised. He looked like he was covered in pie..or some kind of cake perhaps..? The appearance of the bigger man, especially on the training grounds of all places seemed strange. While there was a moment of being excited at the prospect, Alec had to admit it was confusing. The last time he'd seen him was during his last leave.

Obviously he was dreaming. Henrik had stated he would never enlist in the military previously afterall. "Henrik..?" He asked tiredly slowly pushing the covers down as he sat himself up, leaning forward slightly as he blinked lazily at him unaware of the turmoil.

Alec wasn't exactly overly alarmed, although he was at a loss for words staring as the other got himself comfortable and flopped onto his bunk. This of course meant he was back down, no longer sitting up and in a tangle of limbs. "I see you are in the military, that's a uniform you have on.." He stated calmly shifting a bit to get comfortable, made difficult by the lack of space. The exchange was the comfort of being so very close to Henrik at least. But why? Alec thought to himself, leaving the question unasked for now. Later, when it wasn't the crack of dawn.

The My comment had the teen's attention. Alec was pretty sure Henrik, and their relationship constituted as their being boyfriends, even if they hadn't made it official just yet. Even intoxicated, he had a way of making a smile creep its way onto Alec's face.

It took a moment for him to adjust to the idea of being pressed against the man's shirtless chest but once that awkward moment passed, Alec's hand gently resting on his chest he sighed softly at his explanation. His thumb passed over the others chest, noting he was in fact drunk given his explanation and demeanor. "Axel sat in tea? Walls, I imagine that was great." he laughed, a light chuckle imagining his friend doing just that.

"It's alright..we'll both sleep soon." Alec responded quietly, lifting his hand up that had been on his chest ignoring the bit of gravy he got in his fingers when he smoothed the others hair back.

"Close your eyes Henrik. Bell rings in a couple hours." he said softly, cheeks flushed as he slid an arm around the others waist hugging him tightly. After a moment, he pulled back just enough to peer up at Henrik from the short distance between them. He was essentially being pulled close, protected like a kind of human shelter. It was a nice feeling Alec had to admit, even if they could get in serious trouble with having a trainee in the wrong bunk, and namely dorm after hours.

Alec did little to move, the warmth the other provided had lulled him right back into a sound sleep. Even the use of his arm as a pillow had been comfortable, and he made a soft sound as the other pulled away. The warmth of another body was replaced by the blanket. The younger didn't wake; but his relaxed expression seemed to tense as he was no longer in his arms.

His fingers curled into the pillow Henrik eased him into, laying against the portion the other had occupied nuzzling his cheek there as he sighed softly his scent enough to settle him back down. Subconsciously he was bothered by Henrik's sudden absence, the presence of his for had made resting all the more restful.

The next thing for him to do apparently was too curl up, knees drawn to chest making himself into ball groaning quietly in his sleep as he mumbled incoherently. It very likely had been the others name but its meaning was lost in the pillow he was pressed against.

Really, if he'd been more conscious he'd have stopped Henrik or at least said he'd speak with him later. For now, with the older trainee slipping away he could at least dream with the knowledge they'd shared this moment together. As much as he'd been concerned, his body had demanded the further need for rest before the new days beginning.
