First Night On The Job

"Do you want anything?" Artemis asked after pulling away.
Jacen leaned his head on Frankie's shoulder, biting his lip as he tried not to start worrying again.
Jasper kissed him and wrappedhis arms around Dante's waist.

Alex's stomach then growled.
"Its ok Jac." framloe said softly.
Dante smiled as he kissed back.

"Food?" Artemis asked, chuckling.
"Not it's not, or they'd all be fine..." Jacen mumbled.
Jasper leaned his head against Dante's when he stopped, closing his eyes.

Alex nodded with a smile, "Yes please/"
Frankie sighed quietly.
dante closed his eyed before drifting off.

"Anything in particular?" Artemis asked.
Jacen sat there for a few minutes before moving to get up, wanting to smoke again.

Alex shook his head, "Anything is good."
Frankie let him get up.

"Okay." Artemis said, kissing him. "I'll be back soon."
Jacen went back over to the open window, hesitating for a minute before smoking again.

Alex kissed back and nodded, "Ok Arty."
Frankie just watched.

Artemis moved to get up, but paused, frowning as he looked at Alex, not wanting to get up.
Jacen stared out the window as he sat there.

Alex paused before moving closer to Artemis.
Frankie was quiet.

Artemis quickly wrapped his arms back around Alex, hugging him close.
Jacen ran his free hand through his hair, brushing it off his face so it wasn't in the way.

Alex pouted when his stomach growled again, he didn't want Artemis to have to get up.
Frankie wondered if he should leave Jacen to himself.

Artemis sighed and rolled over to reach for his phone, sending a message on it before hugging Alex close again.
Jacen hugged his knees to his chest, sighing.

Alex relaxed against him again.
Frankie slowly got up to go over.

Artemis smiled and leaned his head on Alex's.
"I should have been able to protect them..." Jacen said quietly, frowning, ignoring the fact that Artemis was his bodyguard.

Alex smiled before asking curiously, "Who did you text?"
"But aren't you the boss and he your very faithful bodyguard?" Frankie asked.

"Vincent." Artemis said. "So you don't starve before I'm willing to get up."
"Yeah..." Jacen said quietly.

Alex nodded with a smile.
"He wants to protect you and your whole family Jac...."

Artemis hugged Alex closer, kissing his head.
"Which he can't do alone...especially not after what happened with Alex." Jacen frowned.

Alex smiled before looking up as Vincent walked in.
"Thats why we have Jasper...." Frankie said, "And...."

"Thanks Vincent." Artemis said as he watched Vincent a plate of food and glasses of juice for them both on the nightstand before leaving the room.
"And...?" Jacan asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Thank you." Alex said before smiling at Artemis.
"I can be a guard too....." Frankie said shyly.

Artemis smiled back before sitting up, getting the food for Alex.
"You...you'd want to?" Jacen asked.

Alex smiled and sat up.
Frankie nodded shyly.

Artemis handed him the food before drinking some of his drink.
Jacen gave a small smile and got up, going back over to Frankie to hug him.
