When will love be through with me?

Alex gave him a tight half hug, being careful not to hurt him but needing it to show himself he was ok.

Artemis gave a small smile and hugged Alex back, burying his face in Alex's hair.

Alex smiled softly as he helped him sit on his bed and kissed his cheek softly.

"Thank you..." Artemis said as Alex helped him sit, trying to relax, closing his eyes.

"Do... Do myou want me too stay?" Alex asked.

"Of course I do," Artemis said quietly, leaning against Alex. "Why wouldn't I?"

"I just wanted to make sure..." Alex said softly, hugging him.

Artemis nodded, moving to lay his head in Alex's lap after a few minutes.

Mikey had locked himself self in his office once the other two had left and was curled up on his couch, his arms wrapped around himself.

Alex smiled softly and slowly played with his hair.

Lucky wandered around the home on guard duty.

Artemis smiled and slowly relaxed, looking up at Alex.

"Hey." Jacen said when he saw him.

Alex smiled softly at him, "Love you."

Lucky smiled, "Hey."

Austin dailed Mikey's phone.

"...love you." Artemis mumbled tiredly.

"Everything okay?" Jacen asked him.

Mikey sighed and pulled his phone out of his pocket, trying not to sound upset when he answered it. "Hello...?"

Alex carefully moved so he was curled up next to Artemis.

"Yeah boss, just making the rounds."

"Hello Mikey."

Artemis smiled and moved close to Alex, careful not to lay on his hurt side.

Jacen smiled and nodded. "Good."

"...who's this?" Mikey asked, not really paying attention.

Alex rested his head on his chest.

:Its Austin." Austinn said with a smirk.

Artemis slowly wrapped an arm around Alex, humming quietly as he tried to relax.

"Oh...hey." Mikey said, slowly sitting up.

Alex started to hum softly as well.

"So let me guess, Arty boy made the move on my Lex?"

Artemis stopped humming after a minute or so, pulling a face like he had earlier.

Mikey frowned. "What makes you think that?"

"You ok?" Alex asked worriedly.

"Because my Lexie still is there and not with me."

"Sore..." Artemis mumbled.

"Oh..." Mikey sighed. "Yeah."

Alex started humming again, trying to get him to relax,

Austin laughed.

Artemis slowly calmeddown again, but kept shifting uncomfortably.

"What's so funny?" Mikey asked, accidentally making it obvious he wasn't in a good mood by the tone he said it in.

Alex moved a little so he could get more comfortable.

"You sound so sad," Austin said.

"Sorry..." Artemis mumbled as he shifted.

"I do not!" Mikey snapped.

"Its ok Arty, you need to get coftable." Alex said softly.

Austin laughed loudly.
