Welcome to Gaia! ::

The couch, when not a bed, was not a fun place to sleep. Especially when he was in trouble. He staggered into the kitchen, looking a little worse for wear as he scrubbed at his face with a yawn. "G'morning." He mumbled sleepily, not quite fully awake yet. He instinctually dropped a hand on Alistair's head, before running it over the boys hair. Muscle memory. The blonde blinked a few times before squinting at the kettle. "...What flavor is it? And do I like this one."

The teen made a noise as he pulled out his own cup and when about making his own before sitting down at the table next to his boyfriend. The blonde seemed to stare off into space a moment, before his eyes eventually traveled to Alistair. "You okay?" He asked. Alistair looked like crap, like he hadn't slept much at all the night before. "Alistair?" Lance called, reaching over and peeling one of his hands from the warm cup and squeezing it.

"It's alright.." Lance mumbled as he glanced down at his own mug. "I would have done the same thing given recent events... You had every right to be mad. I just honestly though I'd be back before you were up.." He gave the hand a squeeze again and offered Ali a smile. "You weren't an a**."

"Yeah well.. Now I know not to do it." He took another sip of his tea and smiled. "See what happens when you decide you need late night cuddles? What are you going to do when I've got classes that run late at night. You hate staying up late." Then he chuckled slightly. "Out of my own room too... Or well, what use to be my room... I deserved it though."

"I've heard of one or two running to as late as ten-thirty, just from clean up and having to set up for the morning classes. But, I'm more of referring to when you have those early morning classes. You never stay up late if you have to be in early." He waved Alistair's apology off with his hand as if it was nothing. "I deserved it remember? Isn't that what happens when couples fight? The one in trouble usually sleeps on the couch?" Then he smiled. "Did you want some help or do you have it handled."

"I will try to schedule things so it doesn't happen... But you never know." Standing, he abandoned his tea on the table before walking over and leaning against the counter. "Says the one who flirted with just about anyone who'd listen. But seriously... Are you alright? Chew me out if you need too. I deserve it."

"Never serious, no. But you did like watching them get flustered." He teased. "I meant the whole 'Don't do it again! You had me really worried' stuff." Then the blonde raised a brow, noting the way Alistair's words quieted and trailed off. With a sigh, he pushed off the counter and stood behind Ali, arm's wrapping around his waist. "Is that why you were so freaked?" He asked calmly.
