Broken Wings

"Galileo."
I whisper as I place my hand on his arm trying to shake him awake but thankfully he wasn't as much of a heavy sleeper as Newt.

"Again?" He instantly wakes up as he stares at me and I nod sitting back on his bunk.
"What's happening back there that you can't tell me about?" He asks me and I stare at him as he looks at me his eyes full with concern.

Do I tell him? I barely know him.
I do know him, I grew up with him.
But not like this. I don't know him like this.

"You can trust me, I mean you have interrupted my sleep the third time this week." He tried to joke lightning the mood but it was a failed attempt.

"I, I just have trouble sleeping."
"Yeah? I'm sure you do." He nods along not convinced at all and without another second to even realise what he did he swipes the key card out my hand climbing past me down of his bunk.

"The hell are you doing idiot?!" I whisper hiss at him and he offers his hand up waiting for me to take it.
"Come on."

"No, I can't let you see-"
"See what?" He asks raising his brow and I sigh as I climb down with him.

"See nothing." I say as I walk past him snatching back the key card swiping it on the door as I pull it open walking out.

"Never figured you out to be a rule breaker." I turn my head to him keeping my voice low as we walk the empty hallways together.

"Yeah, well for the right people I guess." He shrugs and I turn to him staring at him confused.
What the hell is that supposed to mean?

"Yeah? Am I right people then?" I ask realising how forward that was and he stays silent not answering and I try hide my grin.

"Can I ask you something Grumpy?" I question and he scoffs shaking his head.
"No but you will anyway." He replies and he couldn't have been more right.

"You hated me so much-"
"Actually you just assumed I hated you, I just decided to play along."

"So why stop playing?" I ask raising my brow and he shrugs with small smile.
"Who says I'm still not?"

"Smartass." I mutter under my breath rolling my eyes.
"Coming from the actual smartass I will take it as a compliment." He says with an accomplished grin.

"So this is me." I keep my voice low as we both stand outside my room and I'm thankful not to hear the yelling on the other side of the door anymore.

"You will need this." I tap the card against his chest and he looks over at the door as I look at the fingerprinted keypad.

"See you in the morning?" He asks and I nod with a smile.
"And you just go back to playing along?" I questions back raising my brow and he nods with a small grin.

"I don't think anyone could hate you Blake."
"Sucks because I kinda like playing." I say to him and I only take the time now to realise how close we stand.

And that's when I quickly get back before tensions rise too much.
"See you in the morning?"

"Morning."

"Empty plate, that's something."
Minhos voice becomes apparent as he drops beside me sitting on the edge of the mountains.

"It means I'm refreshed and full."
I say to him with a smile and he looks down at me with a grin.
