Alexander hobbled as fast as he could into the house before slamming the door shut. He then proceeded to put the house into lockdown, shutting off every available exit and entrance and revoking anyone's right to just pop in and visit. Even Mel's. The house was completely cut off from the rest of the multiverse and it would remain so until he reopened. Which wouldn't be for a while, if he had anything to say about it.

Panting he slumped against the door, leaning his head back and moaning slightly. He felt horrible. Half himself. Caught and trapped. And it was all that stupid Sue's fault. He tugged uselessly at the pendent around his neck. "Oh gods... oh gods... I can handle this. Yes... where's Nick?" He staggered up, "Nick? NICK!" he bellowed out, hoping that the boy wasn't on the other side of the door. Hoping that he had come home already.

Limping, he started to the bedroom where he hoped that Nick was.

Later, Alexander will tell him about the first time he killed someone. After he's had a good night's sleep in a warm bed next to someone he loves and who loves him back.

Which Nick looks about ready for now.

"Come on, to bed with you. Don't want you falling asleep at the table." He drains his cup of tea and sets it down on the table.

Nick nods and stands after finishing the last of his tea.

He leads Nick off, arm around his waist, kissing his cheek every so often.

Nick leans against him, still quiet.

He starts to hum a lullaby and then drifts off into singing it, his husky voice. It's in his own language, but the tune is meant for comfort, and hopefully it'll give Nick some.

Nick sighs and listens, his eyes getting heavy.

There's the bed and Nick is tucked into the bed. He continues to sing, sitting cross-legged on the bed.

Nick lets his eyes drift close. The technicolour video of Serenitiel has faded, thank... everything. And he's falling asleep.

Alexander sings until he's certain that Nick is asleep and then he sings for a little while longer, to secure a good night's sleep. He ponders sitting up and watching over Nick for the night, but decides against it. Instead he crawls into bed, snuggling against Nick.

Nick snuggles back in his sleep, not even snoring.
