Offroad POV

Offroad woke up sweating. He quickly realized he was sandwiched between Ram and Earth. Offroad sighed to himself. He hadn't done this in a while but he tried to remind himself that it was okay just this once considering the events of the night prior. Offroad could still feel the knots in his stomach. But right now the smell coming from him was overriding that. He needed to shower asap. Offroad quietly and gently moved out from in between Ram and Earth crawling to the end of the bed. He got to the end of the bed when the scent smacked him in the face. He peeked over the edge and there sleeping was Daou.

Offroad couldn't help but admire the man as he slept. He was even more handsome. Maybe it was because he wasn't pissing Offroad off or confusing him. Offroad would have to thank him somehow for listening to him and believing him. Unfortunately, Offroad knew that if it had been his father or even Ram they would have told him it was just a bad dream and sent him back to bed. Offroad wondered what made Daou believe him. Offroad studied the alpha's face, his sharp nose and jaw line no matter the angle stood out amongst his other features but what Offroad really focused on was his lips. Offroad really wanted to kiss the alpha again.

"If you take a picture it will last longer," Daou said in a soft voice, his eyes still closed.

"But you're still dressed. What good is that photo going to do me?" Offroad asked as the alphas' eyes sprang open. "Good morning, why are you on the floor?"

"In case whoever decides to send someone else," Daou said.

"Really? I don't think that is why," Offroad smiled at him.

"Oh, so you can think?" Daou asked sarcastically.

"I can. Want to know what I'm thinking about?"

"No," Daou said as he stretched his long body out.

"You're no fun," Offroad pouted.

"Thanks," Daou said as sat up.

"I need to shower," Offroad said, propping his head on his hands.

"I'd say,"

"I need someone to keep watch," Offroad informed him.

"What? Why? Just go shower in Ram's bathroom," Daou said, his face scrunching up.

"Ew no, I know what he does in there, and besides none of my stuff is here," Offroad sighed. "But if you won't I'll just have Ram sit in the bathroom with me,"

"No," Daou snapped and Offroad had to keep himself from giggling.

"It's no big deal he has done it before," Offroad said, deliberately pushing the alphas' buttons.

"I said no, I'll do it," Daou said through clenched teeth. Offroad set back on the bed as Daou stood from the ground and held his arms up. "What?"

"Carry me," Offroad said.

"You have two workable legs," Daou laughed.

"There's glass all over my floor," Offroad said, rolling his eyes. "I don't have shoes,"

"Sounds like a you problem," Daou said with a shrug before turning and walking out of Ram's bedroom.

"Maybe don't be such a brat in the morning?" Ram's voice came from behind him.

"No, I think I need to crank it up," Offroad laughed glaring at the door Daou had just walked out of.

"Lord help us," Earth sighed.

"I don't think the lord wants any part of what comes next," Offroad laughed, crawling the rest of the way off the bed. He walked out of Ram's bedroom, made his way down to his room and paused outside the door. There on the ground were his house slippers waiting for him.
