[CLOSED] still holding on.

"Mkay.." She said quietly. She had no intentions of eating, but whatever made him feel better, right? She rubbed his chest gently, staying curled up to him. She was tired, but afraid to sleep. She didn't want to see her dead family on the other side of her eyelids.

But she fell asleep nonetheless. She stayed close to him, needing to be close to someone. She didn't want to be alone, not right now.

Trez was out almost instantly. Not even twisted memories riddled his dreams. He was too tired. Hours passed and eventually he stirred a bit, groaning and yawning softly. He stretched, draped an arm around Bee absently. It was odd, having someone close.

So caught up with his brother, he rarely gave relationships, people, a second thought. But it was nice, curling up close with another body for once.

[aubri 'bee' ella-paige reed]

She felt the boy move and whimpered, drawing closer to him. She clung to his shirt, afraid to let the only person willing to get close to her go. She finally let go of his shirt to rub absently at an eye, stretching her legs out a bit before pulling them back up under her. She yawned, then looked up at him. She reached up again to grab a necklace that wasn't there, then dropped her hand back into her lap. She looked away as she yawned again, drawing her legs closer.

"You're really warm when you're asleep.." She mumbled, then realize how strange that sounded. She shook her head, running her fingers through her hair.

"Am I?" Trez mumbled, smiling faintly. He felt a lot better after the nap. But that was always the case. Stretching a bit, he absently drew her close again, rubbed at his face. He hung an arm off the couch, then reached for the television remote.

He was oddly comfortable in his current position, too lazy to get up and do anything. It was nice hanging at home with somebody else, something he hadn't done in awhile.

[aubri 'bee' ella-paige reed]

She gladly moved closer, her hand trailing up and down his chest as he flipped through the channels. It had been awhile since she had watched any actual television, something other than football on the big screens at work. She liked being curled next to someone, too. It reminded her of saturday mornings with her dad, curled up on the sofa. She rested her hand on his stomach, staying close to him.

Trez smiled faintly, then handed the remote over. "Here, you choose," He complained. "I suck at making up my mind." He ran a hand through his hair, gazing up at her for a moment, finding her touch soothing.

He was thirsty, decided it could wait. Honestly he preferred lying here with her over getting up to soothe his dry mouth and throat.

[aubri 'bee' ella-paige reed]

"Uh.. Okay." She mumbled, taking the remote slowly from him. She flipped through the channels, stopping on a movie with cars. It was probably one of the Fast and Furious movies from the actors she recognized. She yawned, setting the remote beside her before starting to rub his chest again. Her chest hurt from all the heavy breathing that August had caused. And she was pretty sure her legs were all banged up. But she didn't really care.

[trez matthew steele]

Trez drew in a slow breath, lips tilting up some as he closed his eyes. "Feels good.." He mumbled absently, draping an arm over his eyes, his breaths slow and relaxed.

He shifted his weight just the slightest, listening to the scenes of the familiar movie.

[aubri 'bee' ella-paige reed]

Aubri looked up at him, biting her lip. "What? Rubbing your chest?" She asked, then looked back over at the TV. She pulled away a bit, drawing her hand to her chest when she realized how close she was. She leaned back against the sofa, folding her hands in her lap. She pulled out her phone, looking at the time. 'I could always just.. pretend I have to go..' She thought. But there was no sure way of knowing August wasn't waiting outside the door. And she had no intentions of being bitten like Marc.

She put her phone back into her pocket, drawing her knees to her chest.

[trez matthew steele]

Trez shrugged. "Yeah..I'm alone alot, now. Guess I kinda forgot what it's like to even have a friend. Nobody stays long, just enough to get on their feet and they're gone again." He yawned. "I never had time for my relationships when my brother was here, but now I'm just..alone."

He shrugged. He didn't find it a problem. It was a bit miserable when he came around after seizures. He wouldn't be surprised it one was the death of him, considering lack of supervision.
