How could he lay there that long and not have fallen asleep already? It wasn't like something was bothering him. Amycus had great control of his emotions; and even when something did run the young man the wrong way, Amycus was exceptionally good at not letting it show. Above this, nothing he'd ever done or experienced in his lie had ever caused him to lose sleep. So why in bloody hell was he still awake? Rolling onto his stomach, he huffed and tried to keep his eyes closed. A gap in the curtains around the bed next to him caught his attention though and one blue eye cracked open again to investigate.
The blond hair of his best friend was crumpled upon the pillow under his head. For once, Erebos was sleeping alone. Perhaps it was a courtesy to Amycus. Recently, the two boys had become more than close. Originally Amycus had chalked it up to sexual frustration, then to social influences as it seemed everyone in their dorm was into it; now he was questioning everything. It seemed to him that everyone in their year, in this house, in their dorm, was gay. Rodolphus had been outed, Finn was no secret, Erebos had never been shy about it, and now Amycus had been in a situation that put him into the mix, though he still had the fortune of being private about his affairs. The difference he was finding, however, was that Amycus wasn't looking at anyone else. He wasn't even attracted to men. Girls, sure. He'd always looked at girls and that was something that might never change. But there was something about being with Avery that night that was different from any romp he'd had, or forced Integra or one of the other girls into. Avery was strong enough to take whatever rough housing or beating Amycus could deal out. What was more, Erebos Avery cared about Amycus. No one else ever had. Well, maybe his sister but he'd rather be gay that incestuous.
He thought to call out to the boy, wake him for company, but he was already asleep and it seemed wrong to wake him. Really, Amy should have been asleep too. His mind was too active for that now. Okay, maybe for once somethign could keep him up. He closed his eyes again in an attempt to will himself to sleep. It was pointless. Opening his eyes again, Amycus sat up and rubbed his face.
Reaching out, he found his pack of cigarettes from the nightstand, and a lighter. The dorm room was cold, but his skin hardly reacted. It reminded him of Narcissa for a moment, though he wasn't sure why she was popping into his head. Her company was one he did enjoy though. Contrary to people questioning this particular Black sister, Amycus found her rather comforting and relaxing to talk to. For a moment he contemplated taking a walk in hopes of finding her wandering about sleeplessly as well. That required putting on pants and a shirt though. Instead, he sat at the foot of his bed, feet resting on his trunk, clad only in his navy blue boxers. Running a hand through his messy blind locks, he took a long drag from his cigarette and flicked the ashes on the floor. The sound of someone stirring awake barely caught his attention and he held his breath only a second before he remembered he didn't care if his smoke woke anyone up, and he exhaled softly.tags: EREBOS VALI AVERY, ♦ VEL
