Austin stared at the floor for a few minutes before slowly looking up at Alex. "Sorry..." He mumbled.

Austin sighed, slowly getting up to sit next to Alex. He waited for a few seconds before gently reaching out to touch where he'd hit Alex.

Alex whinched when Austin touched it but sat still.

"Stay here..." Austin said before getting up to leave the room. He came back a few minutes later and sat back down, gently pressing an ice pack to Alex's face where he'd hit him.

Alex closed his eyes at the cold on his face.

"Sorry..." Austin mumbled again, slowly wrapping one arm around Alex's shoulders.

Alex nodded as he curled close tiredly.

Austin smiled, gently kissing Alex's head, though he was still annoyed with Jacen's decision.

Alex was soon fast asleep.

Austin waited until he was sure Alex was asleep before gently laying him down, Austin sitting beside him, still holding the ice pack to his face.

After a while, Austin ended up falling as well laying beside Alex, snoring.

Austin was still asleep, half hanging off the bed, snoring loudly.

Artemis knocked on their room's door, having been sent by his brother to get Alex.

Artemis frowned when he saw Alex, gently pushing him towards the mirror that was in the room, shaking his head at the bruise that was there.

Alex whinced and looked away when he saw the dark bruise.

Artemis glared at Austin, tempted to shove him off of the bed, seeing him already close to falling anyway. He sighed and stepped back out of the room, waiting for Alex.

Alex changed his shirt and joined Artemis in the hallway.

Artemis gave Alex a small smile before heading off, leading alex to the room he'd taken him to the night before.

Alex smiled back before walking into the room from before.

Jacen looked up when they entered, his informant Mikey walking off as they came closer. Artemis went up to Jacen, speaking quietly to him for a few minutes before sitting on the steps that led up to Jacen's seat.
"I have a job for you." Jacen said, finally speaking to Alex.
