Joon smiled and nodded. "Of course."
I smiled. Did I really just smile?! "Thanks, it means a lot." I finished eating and grabbed the clothes, looking around for somewhere I can change. "Is there somewhere I can, change?" Joon stood and showed me to a bathroom upstairs. "Here you are."
"Thank you." I stepped inside, shutting the door, and realized I was to wear his clothes. Aiden followed me in and sat on the counter. "I'm sorry I yelled at you earlier." I tied my pants and opened the door. "Isaiah is no brother to me." I said, leaving Aiden in the bathroom and going downstairs.
Joon was sitting on the couch reading a book when I got downstairs. He looked to me, setting his book down and stood. "I hope you don't mind my clothes. Yours were a little dirty."
"No I don't mind at all. I appreciate it, actually." He walked to me and offered to show me around. "Over there is my room and the guest room. And there's a closet there."
He kept talking and showing me around, but I wasn't paying attention. There was so much on my mind right now. I didn't know where I would go in the morning or who I would.... "You know? I haven't gotten your name yet!" Joon stops half way down the stairs.
"Oh. How rude of me. My name's Alex." Now he knows my name and I know his. Good. "Alex." He repeated. "I like that. Oh don't forget your rooms over there."
I laughed a little when he said that he liked my name. No ones ever said that. But he began to walk to his room. "That's a cute laugh by the way." And with that he shut his door.
Everyone was sleeping, except me and my hallucinations. I looked to my room and noticed Aiden walking with the naked man to the door. I followed them and went inside.
It was a nice, cozy room with a full bed, a closet, dresser, night stand, all things normal people have in their rooms. I never had a closet. Or a night stand. It must be nice to have things like this.
I watched everyone make themselves at home and sat on the bed myself. It was soft, almost as if I melted into it. Then I heard it. A knock in the wall. I got down on my hands and knees and crawled to the wall where I had heard it.
I put my ear up to the wall. KNOCK. There it was again! There was another noise. A whisper? "Alex?" Joon? That's not right. "Alex! It's Joon!" Wow. It really was. "What are you doing?"
"I can't sleep. Can I come to your room?"
