Like Minds - To my beloved Maraclea

Chapter six - Broken friendship

Alex:

I had to admit that it took me such a long time to finally understand what the hell Nigel meant with all these stuff. I had to be honest that I believed him now, sort of. He had found a way to enter my mind, to teleport things into my mind without saying, only staring.

I pressed my jaws when he concluded that I actually liked the way he stared at me. And again, I had to be honest that I did, somehow - but I wasn't going to tell him because he seemed to already know.

The way he called me Jack made me kind of annoyed again, but I couldn't correct him because my eyelids shut their selves slowly - even without my permission. I mumbled something, but I didn't even knew what I was mumbling. After a few seconds I fell asleep, which was pretty impressive because he really made me fall asleep.

This morning a carillon woke me up. I slowly opened my eyes and took a deep breath while moving my body a little bit. I noticed that I wasn't able to move to the left and I felt something lying in my neck. After I swallowed I suddenly saw how Nigel buried his face in my neck. Had he really slept next to me? In my bed?

'Nigel?' I mumbled while poking softly in his belly. 'Nigel? Are you awake?'

It was pretty odd to feel his nose and lips touching my neck, like he smelled at my skin. I pressed my lips and sighed softly., waiting for him to wake up - because if I should move my body right now, Nigel would fell of the bed probably.

Nigel:

He blinked and slowly woke up when Alex called his name. When he noticed why he woke him Alex could feel Nigel's lips form a smile against his neck and he just closed his eyes again.

"I am now.."

He didn't seem to mind the way he fell asleep against you, which suggested he had already done this intentially.

"Good morning, Jack.. You surprise me once again. Here I thought you'd the enjoy the idea of kicking me out of your bed."

Alex:

'Good,' I mumbled.

A little smirk appeared on my face when after I sighed because of the fact he called me Jack - again. I pursed my lips lightly when felt how he smiled slightly against my skin. When I realized what he just said to me, I began to smirk even wider.

'I'm full of surprises Nigel. Trust me.'

I turned my body to his and pushed him from the bed what made him fell on the ground.

'You probably didn't see that coming, did you?'

Nigel:

There was a small huf of breath as you pushed him and a louder one when he fell onto the ground on his back. He blinked his eyes and needed a short moment to recover from the fall and then he just chuckled again, looking back at you from the same laying position.

"To be fairly honest, this surprises me only less."

He pulled up his torso by supporting on his elbows and grinned at you boyish, seeming unbelievingly normal and young in contrast to the side of him you saw yesterday night.

"Will you accompany me to breakfast, Alex?"

It was hard to miss the fact he just called you Alex again, instead of Jack. Probably because he hoped you would say yes if he did.

Alex:

'Great, you've got your own personality back because of the fall on the ground. Perfect.' I pressed myself a little bit up and stroked through my hair which was incredibly messy.
