"Liam had only been in a few relationships before, he had never been close like this to them. He had never met any one as touchy feely as the male but it didn't bother him. Liam was content with it, it felt nice to him actually different in a way. He felt the male's fingers wrap around his, he looked down and smiled as he looked back up. Liam looked over at the GPS to see they were almost to the male's place. He was glad to be almost there, he yawned softly as he continued to drive. Liam was used to stay up at late hours and never sleeping but perhaps that he had pulled a double he was just really tired. He was also used to being home by now and in bed but he didn't mind going to the male's place. Liam hoped he could sleep once they got there instead of him spending another day without sleep. As the GPS spoke toward him, he pulled into the parking lot of the apartment as he parked the male's car. "

He dozed lightly as the male drove on, not even noticing that the male continued to glance down at him now and again. He just listened to the sound of the GPS voice and followed the twists and turns they took back to his apartment. But when the car stopped a few minutes later, his eyes snapped open. Alaine looked around with an expression of "where the hell am I?". When at last he figured out they were park in front of the building he lived in, he sighed. He needed to go to bed. Now. After giving a stiffled yawn, he noticed that he was still clinging to the males hand and that he in turn had yet to let go as well. Alaine looked at the male for a moment, he was hesitant to let go of his hand. It was warm and strong, and he was kind of getting used to the idea of laying like this and holding hands with the male. It was nice, not at all awkward, at least to him. But since he didn't want to play leap frog with the gear shift, he let go and got out of the car. Closing the door behind him, Alaine took a look around the parking lot. He would never understand why this side of the complex was always like a ghost town in the middle of the week. It was nearly 3:30 and aside from two other cars, the place was completely empty. Walking around the muscle car, Alaine waited by the males side of the car to take back his keys and lead the way up to his apartment.

"As they pulled into the parking lot and parked the car into one of the parking spots. He looked over at the male seeing he had fallen asleep. Liam smiled seeing the sleeping male's face. He didn't want to wake him up seeing as the male was so comfortable. Liam watched as the male woke up looking around. He smiled at the male seeing him look at him. Liam turned off the car as the male released his hand. He didn't mind holding the male's hand it was comforting to him. Liam slipped out of the car as the male did. He stretched out as he stood up, closing the door behind him. Liam handed the male his car keys as he came toward him. He followed the male toward his apartment not sure where to go, he looked around the area as he walked. It was a nice apartment, he lived in a small apartment since it was just him and his dog. "

Alaine gave another glance around the parking lot, even though all seemed to be nice and quiet, he didn't want to take any chances. Just because they were in the Upper West side, didn't make it all that safe. Upper or Lower, the West side, just wasn't as great as it used to be compared to East. When he was sure no one was around, Alaine took his keys from the male and lead the way towards the building. The building had four stories, was made of dark red bricks and looked completely ominous in the dark, pale moonlight. He struggled to get all six locks opened as again he forgot to flip the porch light. From this side of the building it was nearly pitch black with tiny slivers of light peaking through the tree tops. As he played with the locks, Alaine muttered to himself about never going to lock all of them ever again. It was a lie of course, but something needed to be done. He owned six top brand deadbolts not just because he feared getting robbed, that wasn't the case. He just didn't want to be attacked again or have any "visitors" try coming back after he left. When at last he managed to get the door open, he breathed a sigh of relief. For a moment he feared the worse for why he couldn't get his door open.

Pushing open the door, Alaine stepped inside, flipped on the porch and inner hallway lights. The floors were a light chestnut wood, the walls were white washed, nothing about his home said 'this is me' or held any personal value. There were no pictures on the walls, everything was clean and in alpha-numeric order, it clearly stated someone lived there but didn't recognize it as home. "Downstairs bathroom is just up the hall on the left, other bathroom is upstairs at the end. If you need to shower us the upstairs one, towels and washcloths are in the closet. Sleep wherever you want. My room is upstairs right of the bathroom, there's a guest bedroom across from there, living room is just up ahead past the kitchen, and again the bathtub is upstairs." Alaine leaned against the wall as he stepped out of his shoes and made towards the stairs, not bothering to turn on anymore lights. He was tired and just wanted to sleep. If anyone wanted to rob him go ahead, it wasn't like there was much to steal anyways. Just don't come upstairs, he slept with a revolver under his pillow.

"Liam didn't think to much about the neighborhood, either it being good or bad. He looked around at the different places it was a nice area on the outside for now. Liam didn't really know what to think of it as he followed the male. He kept close behind him as he walked not wanting to get lost, since he could easily look track if he stopped to check something out. Liam looked up at the building it was large in size, he couldn't imagine living here. He wondered how much the male paid for living here but thought best not to ask since it was none of his business. Liam made money, but nothing compared to this. He also knew he could never be comfortable in a place like this, it was to big for him. Liam preferred small places, since his home back in Louisiana with his family wasn't big either. He had no use for a big place since it was just him. Liam stopped behind the male as he saw the locks on the door, he didn't understand how the male could have so many locks but perhaps this wasn't a safe area.

As the male unlocked the locks he waited patiently next to him. Liam waited till the male opened the door and walked inside to follow him inside. He closed the door behind them, as he looked around. Liam saw nothing of the male in his house, it was plain and nothing represented him. It was too clean and boring to him. He didn't understand but that too was none of his business. Liam listened as the male spoke, he nodded taking everything into account. He kicked off his shoes as well setting them next to the door. Liam watched as the male made his way toward the stairs. He saw no reason to head up stairs, as he started toward the living room. "

This house would never really be his home, no matter how much his friends assured him that it was. To be fair, he was simply a permanent house guest. This entire complex belonged to one of the other orphans he grew up with. As a favor from when they were teens, this person simply gave Alaine this entire building. He didn't need the space, so he kept to the one unit and never went anywhere near the rest of it. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get used to it. For months he'd been telling himself it was high time he left New York, or at least get out of Brooklyn. Everytime he tried he just couldn't do it. Another cooping method he was told. He tried not to think about it, it was better to keep focused on the now instead of digging up the past when there was nothing worth remembering. Walking up the stairs and into his bedroom, he flipped the light and stood before the vanity mirror. Like the rest of the house, his room was mostly bare. White carpet, white walls, king sized bed, dark wooden dresser, and dresser. Above the headboard though were a few pictures;himself as a child, a few college degrees, several with Samuel, all of them at different ages. There were none with family, hardly any with friends, and absolutely none from school. His bedroom was about as personal as it was going to get. The rest of the house was exactly as he found it. As he still felt like a house guest, he intended on keeping it that way until he found his own place.

Standing before the mirror, Alaine stripped to nothing but his blue boxers, stuffing the clothes into a dirty hamper. Creeping down the stairs, he looked towards the living room and saw the male. "If you don't mind, I'm gonna go ahead and grab a shower. I won't be too long, so if you need one..." His voice trailed off as he stood there at the bottom of the stairs feeling awkward and shy. He wasn't good with talking to others, especially when he was half naked. Alaine was feeling nervous again, not just because he was in just his boxers, but because he'd allowed another stranger into his home. He simply nodded and went back upstairs to the bathroom, shutting the door and locking it behind him. He felt like an idiot.

"Liam walked toward the living room. He wasn't sure why he was here, he wasn't used to going to others place. Liam was surprised the male had even offered to bring him here, but perhaps he was just used to bring others here. He walked over toward the couch sitting down. Liam sighed softly as he leaned back closing his eyes, he wasn't really tired. It was sad in a way, but he was used to not sleeping. Liam heard the sound of foot steps upon the stairs as the male entered the room. He opened his eyes as he looked up to see the male practically naked. Liam let his eyes wonder all over the male as he stood next to the stairs. He couldn't help but let his eyes linger over the male's body. Liam watched as the male seemed to be embarrassed about something. "I'm good thank you though." He replied as he watched the male head back up stairs. Liam was a little saddened to see him leave but he knew the male needed to get sleep. He closed his eyes again as he sat there, he wondered if he should head back outside and get his bag since he knew there was a book in it, but it was late and wasn't sure if he should. Liam just sighed softly as he sat there not really comfortable but it would do. "

He bit his lip as he stood against the door. He needed to get over this fear, this thing, whatever it was. Liam had been nice to him all night, there was no way the male was going to hurt him. He knew this, it was his mind playing tricks on him. Alaine stood there for several minutes forcing himself to calm down. After what felt like hours, he peeled himself away from the door. Slipping out of his boxers and turning on the water, Alaine slipped into the warm spray and closed his eyes, allowing all his fears and doubts to wash away with all the stress of the day. It was just a bad day, that was all. No need to go crazy, but just to be sure, he was going to call Sam before going to bed. It would be the most effective way to get to sleep. But then again maybe if he opened up... just a little, he would be okay with Liam. Ten minutes later, Alaine was clean and out of the shower. He quickly dressed in his room, wearing a pair of cotton capris pants, and a baggy grey t-shirt. Again making his way back downstairs as he'd forgotten his bag of goods out in the car. Before he went out though, he went towards the living room, a bit surprised to see that Liam was still awake. "Do you wanna get your bag outta the car before I lock up for the night?" he asked, poking his head in through the frame with his car keys in hand.

"Liam had no intent on hurting the male, after all it wasn't in his nature. He was the same person whom he had presented to the male. Liam could be mean but only if others were mean back and so far Alaine had been fairly nice to him. After a few misunderstandings, he knew it was just in the male's nature to protect himself. He didn't mind after all didn't everyone protect themselves? Liam relaxed as he sat there, he opened his eyes as he stared at the popcorn ceiling. He looked at the little dents as he formed pictures like connect the dots. Liam usually laid in bed all night without sleeping. It was like a past time just to get through the night and stare at the ceiling. At times he just turned on the stereo system and listened to music. He usually got complaints from neighbors in the morning thinking he was having a party because it was so loud. Liam heard the male's voice as it startled him. He looked at him to see he had indeed taken a shower since his hair was still wet and he was in different clothes. Liam nodded slightly as he stood up moving toward the male, "Yeah, I was just thinking about it." He replied running a hand through his hair. Liam saw the look in the male's eyes as he knew he was surprised he wasn't sleeping. He wasn't sure if he should explain himself but would it really matter? Liam didn't think the male wanted to know nor would he care. It wasn't a big deal after all the male was a diabetic and he was just an insomniac. "

Alaine nodded to the male as he rose from the couch and walked towards him. He smiled, a bit glad that he wouldn't have to make his way outside alone. Because this side of the building was so dark, Alaine liked to avoid going outside at night at all cost. If it was something that could be left in the car, he had no problem leaving it there. But since this was about $400 worth of medicine, he didn't feel right about leaving it out there. Not to mention he had a few clothes in the bag that needed washing and some used needles that needed proper disposing of. He didn't need to jab himself in the hand the next time he went fishing for supplies. With the male behind him, Alaine slipped his feet into a pair of flip flops he had lined up by the door and opened it once more. His keys were tight in his fist and he looked around curiously as he stepped outside. He lead the way back to his car, unlocking the trunk and grabbing both of their bags before locking it back up. He felt the weight of his own bag, still heavy so no one robbed him tonight. Thank God. He handed the other bag to Liam, smiling a bit as he did so. "You know you can come upstairs. I don't bite." he said, hinting at how much he really did want the males company. He trusted him, but he didn't trust him. If he was going to get past his suspicions, it would be easier on his nerves if he allowed the male to be closer to him. Perhaps they could talk some more, get to know one another better. Anything would be better than letting his imagination get the better of him.

"Liam followed the male toward the door. He grabbed his shoes pulling them on not worrying about lacing them up properly. Liam looked over at the male seeing he was holding his keys in a tight grip in his hands. He kept a close eye on their surroundings as he stepped out the door following behind the male. Liam didn't know why the male was so nervous to him, but it seemed he was scared to be outside. He couldn't understand why after all it seemed to be a nice area, but most things seemed nice on the outside. Liam followed the male toward his truck, he stopped next to him as he unlocked the trunk grabbing both their bags. Liam took his bag from the male as he slung the strap over his shoulder. He knew he had an extra pair of clothes in his bag for the morning. Liam heard the male speak and glanced over at him. "To where the tub?" He asked teasing the male, since he had told him to sleep in the tub. Liam couldn't believe the male had wanted him to sleep in the tub but he knew it wasn't serious. "

Alaine smirked at the males tease. "Nah, I was thinking more along the lines of the balcony. There's a lovely hard plastic lawn chair up there." he teased back. He turned on his heel and led the way back to his apartment, pushing the door open and waiting for the male to come inside so he could lock the doors. "I've always had someone close by to sleep with. I can't sleep alone." he said on a more serious note. It wasn't a complete lie, but not actually the whole true. He has slept alone, but at the same time he wasn't alone. He usually slept with the phone by his head and fell asleep to the voice of someone he knew.Friend, lover, whoever was available. He locked the doors behind Liam and stood there awaiting an answer. He wasn't going to force the male to sleep with him, he could easily get Sam on the phone. But he just thought since Liam was here and everything, it might be a good chance to get to know him better.

"Liam smiled at the male as he spoke, listening as he teased back. "Oh. Thank you. I do love a good hard chair." He replied sticking his tongue out at the male as he turned away from him heading back toward the apartment. Liam followed the male back inside the apartment. He took off his shoes, setting them back by the door. Liam dropped his bag next to the door. He hoped the male didn't mind if he removed his pants, and just slept in his tank and boxers. Liam found it more comfortable to sleep in his boxers, instead of pants. He looked over at the male as he spoke, he could hear the seriousness in his tone. Liam wanted to know why but didn't want to ask the male in case it offended him. "As long as you don't mind me just sleeping in my boxers and tank?" He glanced at the male curiously hoping he would be fine with it. Liam looked at the male curiously wondering if he thought it weird since he didn't feel like slipping on his sweatpants he had in his bag but would if the male didn't like it. "

Alaine chuckled at the males words. It was a good thing he didn't catch him sticking his tongue out at him, or else he'd really be asking to be teased. By which, Alaine would be more than happy to supply. Teasing someone was his favorite past time whenever he was bored, sleepy, or both. Once they were both inside, he slipped out of his shoes and relocked all six locks. When he was done, he set his keys in the bowl on the table by the door. He turned to face the male, shrugging at his words. "So long as you know how to keep your morning wood to yourself, I don't give a damn what you wear." he replied. He smiled at the male as he passed him, again making for the stairs. Alaine wasn't sure what it was, he'd slept with plenty of men before, but something about having that nestled against his back was more than a turn off. Which he'd always found rather odd; he could sleep with men, kiss men, cuddle, but spooning not a big fan. Maybe it was cause it was first thing in the morning? Or that he was still waking up? He wasn't sure, but either way, having that anywhere near him, always made him want to swat the guy away and get him out of his place as fast as possible.
