[Time skip: next morning]

John: *wakes up, opens his eyes, sees Alex reading, groggily* Alex? You got sleep, right?

Alex: *grins happily* Two hours more than usual!!

John: Good, good. *rolls over, pulls the blanket over his face* It's cold. Come back.

Alex: *rolls eyes* Okay. *crawls in the bed next to John, curls up against John's chest*

John: It's warm now. Thank you.

Alex: Anything for you, babe. Also what time is breakfast? I forget.

John: Dunno. What time is it?

Alex: I think it's, like, 8:30.

John: Um... doesn't it start at 8 or something?

Alex: *silent for a second* Crap, it does! C'mon! Let's go lazy bones!

John: Nooooooo... it's early... I'm tiiiired.

Alex: But if we miss it, that means I'm skipping another meal, and you don't want that, right?

John: ...no. But I also want to sleep.

Alex: But you love me more.

John: Eughhhhhhhh. *buries his face in the pillow* You go. I'm gonna sleep.

Alex: But what if Jefferson attacks me??

John: Jefferson's not gonna attack you.

Alex: Fine. We can go back to sleep but you have to join me for lunch and dinner and sleep in my room tonight and give me lots of cuddles and kisses, okay?

John: You know what... I'll be right there for breakfast.

Alex: Good. *pulls John out of the bed, drags him down to the great hall, sees Herc and Laf, sits in their usual spots*

Herc: *surprised* Whoa... This is like the first time in 2 years that all four of us are sitting here.

Alex: Shut up Herc! It's a good day, don't ruin it with sentimental sappy stuff.

Herc: Okay, okay. I won't.

John: I'm here to eat, not cry.

Herc: I said okayyyyy! Jesus, leave me alone... *chomps on bagel sadly*

John: i'M sOrRy!

Herc: nO, yOu'Re NoT!

John: i SwEaR, i aM *hugs Herc sadly*

Herc: *hugs back* oKaY. OnLy 'CaUsE i GeT a HuG.

John: I want food now. *sits in his old spot, takes a few bread rolls* You still as obsessive over bread rolls as you were? It's been a while.

Herc: *shrugs* I like bagels more. *takes a giant bite of bagel, grabs another, takes a bite out of the new one*

John: What is life anymore? *eats bread roll sadly* Herc doesn't even like bread rolls. This is weird. I feel like I missed too much of your guys' lives. *sadly nibbles on another bread roll*

Alex: *turns John's head towards his, bites the other side of the bread roll*

John: *mouth full of bread roll* hEY! My bread roll!

Alex: *pulls his piece of the bread roll off* Not anymore!!

John: Oh, okay... *sadly eats the rest of the bread roll*

Alex: Aw, I'm sorry. Did I make you sad, babe?

John: *nods, reaches for another bread roll*

Herc: *snatches the roll from John's hands, hisses, eats roll whole*
