William turns around to see Noah sleeping peacefully beside him. He snakes his hand around his waist and smells him. He smells different. But William was in for another surprise.
"Get off me! Don't touch me you peasant!" Noah jumps off the bed. William wasn't awake fully so he took it as a joke.
"New nickname huh? Not that I am a fan of it but anything for you baby. If that is what helps you with coping up from your brother....."
"What brother?" Noah asks confused.
This woke William up. He knew he was acting weird but this was on another level. Seeing the look on the face, Noah quickly covers up.
"Ahh...Dylan you mean...I...I am just so tired....I....I..." he stops mid-sentence when William hugs him.
"It's okay baby. I know it is hard for you." He kisses his forehead once, "What do you want for breakfast?"
Noah tries to get out of his hold and dusts himself as if he touched something dirty. Thankfully William didn't notice it.
"The usual. Now go!" Noah orders him and shuts the door.
"The peasant smelled nice. How could someone like him afford a perfume like that?" Noah mutters to himself before going for a bath.

"Are you okay?" James holds Dylan by his shoulders as he looked weak.
"Where...where are others?" he asks with his voice raspier than before.
"David and Clive are still looking through the bail papers. William and Noah are at home. Are you okay though? Are you in pain somewhere?" James asks worriedly.
"I am fine James. Who....am I .....out of jail?" He looks around the same jail cell he spent his night in. James notices it and hugs him tightly, diverting his eye from the cell.
"Yes baby, don't worry. You are out. My lawyer talked to the cops and all they have is circumstantial pieces of evidence. It doesn't prove anything that you killed someone. And for the identity theft, it is just a fine to be paid by you and the detective whose ID you used."
"Thank you...." Dylan whispers into his ear before falling in his arms, unconscious. All he heard was James's screams,
"Quick, someone call the ambulance."

"He just has a high fever. I have given him some medicines so he might be asleep for a while."
"Thank you, doctor. Come please, I will escort you." Clive leads the way for the doctor. William had arranged for a doctor to come to their house and he examined Dylan, who was now sleeping peacefully. James was sitting beside him, slowly caressing his forehead and all leave him be. Clive stays for some more time and then leaves. Silence slowly takes them over and all James could hear was his own heartbeat.
"I am sorry baby, I am so sorry I couldn't take you out earlier...." He whispers slowly on his forehead and tears trickle down to Dylan's cheeks.
Back in David's and Clive's room, they were getting ready for bed.
"Do you think we should stop?" Clive asks David once they are in bed, cuddling with each other.
"I don't know.....all we can do it wait for tomorrow..." David says in response.
"What do you mean? What will happen tomorrow?"
"You'll see."
