***Alexei's POV***

By the time we finally stop moving, I think we should have gone by the cafeteria. If I would have known we were going on a god damned pilgrimage, I would have opted to pack a lunch. I feel slightly annoyed while still following behind Sebastian's nurse like a lost puppy.

"Through here." Gavin turns around and flashes a brilliant smile, outlined by his plump red lips. I swear that he wears make-up. There is no way his lips look that inviting naturally. They remind me of Bing cherries as they glisten beneath the light.

I follow Gavin, outside. The sun hits me hard, giving me a moment of blindness. However, the view is absolutely serene. Atop the roof of this morbid building, we stand in the midst of a sitting area. We are surrounded by nothing and everything all at once. Greenery drips from the white trellis structures that are placed at each corner of the square sitting area. Flowers are growing in between the leaves with white petals that crown the eye of a vibrant green pistil. These plants are by far some of the most angelic flowers I have ever encountered.

The table sits on top of what looks like marble but, it appears to be some sort of Italian Travertine tile. I am a little shocked that somebody, or maybe a few somebodies took the time to carve out this beautiful little niche. More importantly, I am wondering who carried all this heavy decor up here to begin with.

"Come. Come. Sit, please." Gavin takes a seat on the bench before patting the seat across from him. I can't help but feel a little disappointed that I am not invited to sit beside him.

Agreeing silently, with a slight tinge of adolescent rejection, I take the seat.

"Why are we up here?" I question after a moment of silence.

"Shhhh. Take it in." Gavin closes his eyes while tilting his head back to allow the sunlight to dance across his olive skin. I swear his eyelashes seem to have tiny beads of water hanging off of them as the prism of light gives his face the most precious and ethereal glow. The sun rays reflect from his dark brown hair, giving each individual strand a sun kissed highlight that makes it appear much lighter than it was before.

A moment passes before I bother to listen to his instruction. This guy doesn't own me. I am my own man. Once enough time passes, I feel like I have reestablished enough of my manhood to follow Gavin's lead. I tilt my head back and close my eyes. The warm sun brushes against my skin allowing a soothing feeling of serenity to wash over me.

A soft hum leaves my lips as I feel a little closer to being myself. I guess no one really realizes the toll that anxiety takes on our bodies until we are in a place where anxiety can't possibly exist.

"Gavin Austin Lincoln, 20, born in The Hamptons. My parent's names are Eloise Rensea Lincoln and Joshua Austin Lincoln. I am currently at the end of my clinicals and graduate this year as an RN." Gavin starts listing his credentials as if this is an interview. I let out a slight chuckle while filing all the information away for the future. I have a feeling I will need it.

"Very nice." I feign modest interest. Believe me, I am putting on a show. I honestly would like one of those Medcorders, so that I don't forget a single syllable.

"You're turn." Gavin claps his hands together, causing me to shake my head. I'm not offering myself up on a silver platter. He is going to have to earn this.

"I went. You go." Gavin urges me to follow along with this little game.

I will. I just feel like making him squirm. Preferably, on my lap. Naked.

"Not happening." I lie as nonchalant as possible.

"You're no fun." Gavin stands up, stomping his left foot as he shows his disapproval.
