Alex was unsure how long he had stayed in the shower just thinking about things.  He had already washed his hair and body and was just standing in there letting the water flow down.  Alex was thinking about what Hope had said about nightmares and he was very true.  But Alex was afraid that Hope was going to attach himself to him and was Alex really ready for that.  Alex knew what it was like to go without attention then all of a sudden to have someone giving it to you.  It was something you latched onto and never let it go.  Was Alex really ready to have that type of attachment, why hadn’t he thought that far ahead?<br/><br/>Once Alex got done with his shower he dried off and went to check in with Jamie before he went to bed for the night.  He told Jamie he would actually be in Hope’s room for the night.  After his chat with Jamie he made his way back to Hope’s room and climbed in bed with him.<br/><br/>First Alex was going to sleep on top of the covers, but then decided that he would be a little warmer under them.  Alex had nothing sexual on his mind doing this, just thinking about comforting a man, who had not had comfort in a long time.  Alex tighten up a little when Hope grabbed his arm and pulled it over him because he was in shock, but then he relaxed with Hope in his arms.<br/><br/>The next thing Alex knew he was sound asleep and finally did not have a single nightmare.  Next thing Alex knew his phone was going off and he really did not want to get up, he was actually comfortable.
