Midnight Manor Private Residence, Sunday Night
Well, it sure has hell had been a day. There was a lot of bread currently populating both the private residence's and the boarding house's kitchen, let's just put it that way. And we won't even talk about the dough in the freezer.
Eventually, though, Watts had slipped into bed exhausted, falling asleep rather immediately.
The smell of vomit and sweat hit him like a wave as soon as he stepped inside.
It was overwhelming, he was practically choking on it. He wanted to run, be anywhere but here- but at the same time, he knew he needed to be here, this might be the last-
Watts awoke with a gasp, scrambling out of the bed and scribbling a quick note for Steven indicating that he'd be on the balcony. He threw on a pair of trousers and a shirt without checking whose they were- probably Steven's, honestly, judging by the softness of the fabric if nothing else- and all but flung himself out the balcony door and on to the outdoor sofa.

In their bedroom he saw the note, and a concerned looking Raphael curled up on the bed but looking out towards the balcony. Steven gave Raphael a pet, then went out to the balcony to join Llewellyn.
"Love? Did you have trouble sleeping?"

He ducked back into their bedroom and got a light blanket out of the wardrobe. He rejoined Llewellyn on the balcony. "May I sit beside you?"

Watts nodded in response to Steven's question.

"Here. So you don't catch a chill."
The night wasn't cold by any means, but the breeze off the water could make it feel cooler.

"Now then, what's wrong, love?"

Watts? Not quite ready to talk about himself? Perish the thought.

Steven trailed off at the end there, glancing to see if there was any look of recognition on Llewellyn's side.

Not that Steven and Marc had gotten more sleep than Llewellyn had, but they were used to going without.

Right now, though, he just needed fresh air and to be held. The latter of which he indicated by curling in towards Steven as much as possible.

Not exactly what Llewellyn had said, but what Steven had heard.

"In my dream."
It wasn't much of a clarification, but at least it was something of one.

Sorry, Steven. It was likely you were going to get this story in drips and drabs, a bit at a time.
no subject
"My poor love. And here you'd started to sleep well again."
