[and there's Elijah, with his gentle smile, sitting at one of the chairs at the large dining table]

"I mean it. You both slept very well. Or it seemed that way."

[enigmaster]

Ah... [fffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck] I... guess I did...

[agoodname]

"Oswald seemed to, as well." [JUST SAYIN]

[enigmaster]

I... kind of doubt that... [With Edward just lying on top of him all night????]

[agoodname]

[he frowns just a touch a that] "Not from where I was sitting most of the night."

[enigmaster]

[...Right. Because they were going to keep an eye out aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH--] Oh.

[agoodname]

[Elijah winces a bit in sympathy]

"Really, I think it was just fine...Oswald did seem to be enjoying you being there."

[enigmaster]

Are you sure? It kind of seems like I was bothering him... [He was all evasive...]

[agoodname]

"I believe it was quite the opposite, actually." [he smiles a little] "I'd go so far as to say he was happy."

[enigmaster]

[...ah?] ...Really?

[agoodname]

"Yes. Quite so."

[enigmaster]

[Edward bites his lip a little and just... ah. You know what! You know what!!! He's gonna examine his glasses to see how bad the damage is because nope he can't right now]

[agoodname]

"Edward?" There--finished. [Oswald reemerges, then, dressed in a subtle grey pinstripe, tugging the ends of the jacket into place] It's all yours.

[enigmaster]

Ah... Sure. [He gets up, just. Keeping his glasses off, for now. He hesitates, briefly, but...] Sorry again for, um... Well. [sleeping on top of you and keeping you in a surely uncomfortable position all night]

[agoodname]

[sldkfs he can't help but flush again at that] It's not a problem. Really. I...[lskdhf he swallows]...don't mind.

[enigmaster]

Well, if that... ever happens again, you can just... move me. ...It shouldn't, but. You know.

[agoodname]

[ ["It shouldn't."] ] I--okay. I'll remember. [he's...trying not to look like he's deflated a bit, and smiles at that.] Anyway, the room's all yours now, and I'm going to get started on my breakfast.

[enigmaster]

Um... Yeah. Sure.

[he'll just

get to the bedroom, then......]

[agoodname]

Sleep well. [because he....can't resist]

[enigmaster]

Ah... Thank you.

[agoodname]

Of course. See you tonight.

[enigmaster]

See you then.

[annnd he disappears into the bedroom]

[agoodname]

[and Oswald waits until the door is closed....before he lets out a low breath, rubbing a hand over his face. This is worse than he thought. He really likes Edward. A lot. More than he first anticipated. But he's...that was...it was nice. It was really nice, to see him just relaxed, for once. To know that he slept soundly. He said it shouldn't happen again, though. So he'll just...tuck that away, and remember to wake him up next time. Like he should've done in the first place. Right. He needs to--Oswald turns and goes to the bathroom to put on his makeup]

[enigmaster]

[And Edward is just he's not going to think about this right now. He's not sure he can... handle this? It's all a lot and his defenses are slipping and that's. Dangerous. He exhales, slowly and just... puts his glasses down and collapses on the bed a little. Staring at the ceiling for a while.]

[agoodname]

".....Edward?"
