//Thank you for being so patient with me yet again! Busy time at work (typically the 1-10th gets hectic before chilling) and I caught a cooooold, bleh lol//<br/><br/>Eathen sighed as he looked back at the other, but before he could respond, Alex had already hobbled his way back to his room. He didn’t trust that little wink, but he had no real reason to go after the other. All he could do was sigh softly as he finished cleaning up and began to do a check on what they would need to pick up. Their time together had been short. Barely a week and yet it felt like it had been months. Alex was, well, difficult. Handsome, talented he supposed as people continued to hire him, and very difficult. Something needed to change. Maybe they needed a fresh start.<br/><br/>Ethan might have seemed like an ass himself. He knew he could also be difficult, but he really did want Alex to get better so he could continue his job. Continue to make movies and bring joy to those that enjoyed said films. Yeah, they needed a fresh start. Maybe dinner. He’d been making healthier meals but perhaps he could cheat, make something that Alex would really like. He just had to figure out what that be. With a plan in mind, Eathan finished up what he was doing before he headed toward Alex’s room, a good maybe twenty minutes after the other had left.<br/><br/>The smell still lingered though. Like skunk. He wasn’t as disappointed, but he was annoyed that Alex practically snuck the joint behind his back. He also feared what else Alex might have brought with him.<br/>Still, Ethan took in a deep breath, regretted it, and let it out. Calm, calm, new leaf. This was supposed to be a new leaf. He didn’t barge in, he knocked calmly on Alex’s door before he spoke. “We need to talk Alex. Now.”
