David had closed the window for the night after MacGyver left, eating only half of his tin of fish to save more for later. After turning off the lights and putting the doorstop under the door for heat, he climbed into his bed and curled up in the sheets. Lilia slowly walked into his room and sat down in the seat in front of his desk, she snaps her fingers to make his IPI, Important Past Information, appear in her hands. She layed it down and tarted to read while she looked back at him so now and then. "Ran away with a girl who left him afterwards and returned to care for his ill mother. Momey loss because nobody wanted to help with taking of his mother, including buying the medication she needed...oh dear. Mother died and from that day forward, David has been struggling to keep up woth the money bills." Lilia sighs and snaps her fingers to make it go back into her private library up in the clouds. She stands and looks at him for a couple seconds before deciding to lay down with him. Lilia curled around him and wrapped her arms around his. "Goodnight David." No response.

The dawn breaks and Lilia wakes up as David does. David held onto the pillow in front of him, clutching it to his torso before kicking the covers up to have them float over him and land on his face. He smiled and for a moment called out to someone to join him under the sheets before biting his lip and turning on his back. Lilia sat up while leaning on her elbow. "Goodmorning David." David lifted his head and sat up. "Hello?" "Did you sleep well?" Lilia sat up and sended some warm waves down his shoulders and back. "Yes?" David said, unsure if it had finally come. The family said it was possible for both of the Jones brothers to be crazy. David held his knees to his chest. "Wh...who are you?" Lilia frowns and looks at him. "I'm Lilia, c..can you hear me?" "Yes, I can hear you. Lilia? That's a nice name but what are you?" He shuddered and covered his eyes. "I'm going nuts!" Lilia pants softly and wraps her arms around him. "No you're fine, I'm your guardian angel. Please take a deep breath David, I don't know what is happening myself." She whispers and rests her forehead again his shoulder. "My brother said the same thing but then he tried to fly off the roof! I mean you sound nice but I'm not like that."

David looked over his shoulder, almost to her. "Is that you I feel?" "Yes. Don't do the same thing he did, please. This is just my second day as your angel and I..I'm sorry.. Please don't tell anyone, they can see us." She blushed and looked down. "W..were you able to hear me before, David?" She whispers. "No, this is the first time I've heard you. I don't want to get you in trouble, Lilia." "Let's get up and have some breakfast, shall we? Take our minds off of this." She stands and quickly walks over into the kitchen. "God, what have I done? Okay Lilia, don't think about him and his dreamy eye..stop it!" Lilia holds her head as she sits on the kitchen top again. "What did you say?" David sighed and sat down on his bed again as he slipped out of his pyjamas. "You heard that, didn't you?" Lilia sighs and rubs her face. "Too bad you can't see me then.." she lets out a shaky breath and looks down, waiting for David. "You mean to tell me that you're not a voice in my head and you in fact have a visible form?" He slipped into fresh boxers and his undershirt before walking into the kitchen to fix breakfast.

As soon as he enters, Lilia turns away from him almost letting out a squeal. "I do. My goodness." She whispers. "What's the matter?" David walked over to his small coffee pot and turned it on. "I..it is nothing. You're actually pretty close to me now. Im sitting next to the stove." She tilted her head as she started to blush at the sight of him. "I guess this will be our little secret then." "Oh. Tell me if you're somewhere so I won't sit on you." He said politely before grabbing the eggs. Lilia sighs and shrugs. "Don't worry, you can actually walk through me. I can't walk through you though, I don't know why that is either. But don't worry about me, I will just be here without interrupting you." She stands next to him and looks up. "I need to spread my wings for a little, your cloud isn't as soft as mine." She giggled. "Your cloud? My cloud?" David laughed softly.  "What an odd figment you are. Lilia, this is an apartment, not a cloud and it's not the poshest either." "I know, I studied too! Mortals live in stone buildings called houses, blablabla." Lilia laughed before hugging him. "Do you feel that? Another hint you're not going crazy." "Well, pardon my language here but I still feel pretty fucking crazy. You're nice but I can't see you and I can feel you but it isn't the same and I'm sure no one else can see or hear you either.""Nope, that is because I'm yours." She giggles nervously and lets him go.
