Double Trouble: A Choice

Chapter 10 - Bad Moment

Elliot woke up some hours later, his head hurted slightly and the light coming from outside wasn't helping at all. All he wanted was to spend the whole day in bed, but he quickly remembered that he needed to meet the Sams again, today. The only thing he could do was grunt, when he remembered.

He just now relaized that he wasn't alone in his bed. He felt a hand stroking his hair gently and slowly opened his eyes. Dark was still asleep on his bed, snorring loud. He looked at the owner of the hand, who was sitting next to him on his bed and obviously waiting for him to wake up.

-Good morning, El. - the eldest man whispered, grinning when he saw Elliot trying to hide his face from the sun with the thin sheets and warm blankets, grunting slightly again.

At first Light's plan was to kill them both, but seeing Elliot asleep like a little angel with messy hair quickly made that will disappear. But even the youngest man's angelical sight didn't make him worry less.

-Mhhhmm... - Elliot mumbled.

-I got you some breakfast. Pancakes.

Light laughed when Elliot's head quickly popped out from under the sheets looking around for the pancakes.

-Pancakes, you say? - the youngest man asked as he stretched and sat up.

Adam handed him a little tray with the breakfast and smiled as he watched Elliot eating lazily. He knew that, the day before, Dark had brought him breakfast and knew it were pancakes because they were Elliot's favourite.

He didn't know if he just thought that it was weird that Dark was being so nice since Elliot got here or if he was actually jealous of their little relationship. It was weird for him to be jealous, even more: to be jealous of Dark. He just knew that all of this was really weird. Maybe this didn't even make any sense, after all, in the end it would be Elliot's choice... but he wanted to at least get a chance of getting closer to Elliot like Dark had, if Elliot was going to choose between them then he should have all of the information.

There was still something that he wanted to talk with Elliot, though, and he should do it now that Dark was asleep.

-Can I talk to you before you go to the lab, today? - the brown haired man asked.

Elliot, mouth full of pancakes, only nodded.

-I... don't think that this is any of my business or so but... yesterday you and Dark were REALLY drunk. I know it can be just a one time thing, just a little bit of fun but I really don't want him to take you down those paths... I worry about you, Elliot...

Light's little sad and worried face reminded Elliot of a puppy, again. He quickly swallowed the food on his mouth and just gave him a little smile.

-It's ok, Light. I'm ok, and you are right, this was just a little fun. He won't take me down bad paths or so, I do have a little bit of self control. - the youngest man grinned.

-If you say so... - Adam answered with a little smile.

-I do like that you're worried about me, though. - Elliot teased. But it wasn't that much of a tease since he actually liked that Light cared about him.

Adam grinned and shook his head with a smile.

-Of course I worry about you, silly. - he said as he stood up.

Elliot had finished his food by now. Light took the tray away and placed it on the night stand so he could bring it back to the hotel's restaurant later. Elliot stood up too and stretched, ready to go to the bathroom to get ready for the day.

He stood up too fast, that caused him to feel a bit dizzy. Elliot supported himself on Adam so he wouldn't fall but his legs still shaked a little and if it wasn't for Light's arm around his waist he would have problably fallen.
