You're visiting a friend or family member in the hospital and while walking down the hall, the fluorescent lights flicker, long enough for you to notice an eerie figure standing at the end of the empty hallway. Another flicker and the shadow grows closer - it's a deranged looking person, hair unkempt and eyes sunken into their sockets. A third flicker and the being is only yards away from you now, more grotesque in appearance than ever. A fourth flicker and…the lights return to normal, the hallway just as empty as it was when you originally turned to walk down it. Was it all an illusion? Maybe you're a little extra exhausted? Whatever the case may be, walking down the hallway you can't help but notice a putrid smell stinging your nostrils until you manage to turn the corner…
Hospitals weren't a place he liked to go, from the white walls to the white floors to the white seemingly everything to the smell Alexandre didn't like hospitals. But sometimes exceptions were made to rules and this - this was one of them. Aiden's sister was in the hospital and he had to be here for his partner, he'd long since moved past using the term boyfriend to describe Aiden, as well as the others mother. It wasn't that she was in critical condition or anything like that, thankfully, but a hospital stay was still just that - a hospital stay...and they all sucked. They also all occupied the time of people as they tended to sit and stay and hang around the persons room for extended periods of time. None of this was his sort of thing, aside from when he'd done it due to his mother being shot years back, but he was doing it.
"Aiden...it's been a while. Do you want me to grab a drink for us?" Whether it be two different drinks or something for them to share. He needed to get up and stretch his legs, and he didn't think Aiden would be getting up from his seat any time soon. Leaning over to press a quick kiss to the others cheek. "You haven't had anything to eat or drink in a while...since before we got here." Which had been hours, though how many he wasn't sure, ago. It was about time they had something to eat and drink; he was sure of it.
