Hope smiled back the second he saw Alex's. "I haven't slept that good in years Alex. If it wasn't for the meds I would feel highly rested and refreshed." Hope hadn't had any kind of boyfriend or lover since the slum lord took advantage of him but it was something he had always dreamed and wanted. A man who could look through his flaws and love him for who he was. Hope smiled once again when he heard Alex claim that he was happy on how comfortable he was with him. That is was so different for someone with his past to open up to someone. "I know, its so weird. Usually I don't open up. But I feel like I know you. That you aren't a stranger. That it would just be wrong for me not to open up to you."<br/><br/>He mumbled out softly. Hope propped himself up on his shoulders when he heard Alex say that he needed to go get some work done but would be right back with his meds. "Thanks Alex." He said as he slowly laid back down on the bed. Once he returned with a glass of water and the pills he downed them instantly, waiting for the grogginess to dissipate. Hoping that it would, he didn't like medication due to the simple fact that he felt all blurred out. "Alright, have fun with work." He said as the pain medicine kicked in and made him want to lay back down for a little while.<br/><br/>He yet again reached over and grabbed Alex's pillow and fell back asleep with a smile upon his face. It wasn't until a hour or two later when he fully decided to wake up. The groggy feeling was gone and he was fully alert. Hope hopped out of bed and went to the window grabbing a cup of coffee on the way. He sipped it as he looked at the beauty all around him, as if he was literally on top of the world.
