Alex nodded a little. "Alright."

Gabe sat back, and Matthew laid his head on Gabe's chest. Gabe looked over at Alex, giving him a small smile. He looked as if Matthew might have even been his own child, but that wasn't the case.

Alex returned the smile faintly, glancing at Michael for a moment and wondering…if the boy might be right.

Gabe still had his hand on Alex's, seeming to have no intention of moving it any time soon. He watched Alex a moment, the look returning to his eyes. The longing. And then it was gone.

Alex had returned his gaze to Gabe, and wasn't sure what to make of that look…if it meant anything. Surely it didn't.

Gabe smiled at Alex looked over at him, the smile almost holding the same time as his prior gaze.
"Told you," Matthew mumbled quietly to Alex. "Eyes."

Alex blinked, looking at Matthew and shaking his head a little bit.

Matthew nodded, yawning a bit. Gabe raised an eye brow.
"Can I ask?" He directed the question to Alex.

Alex shrugged. "If you want to. Ask him, not me."

Gabe looked down at Matthew, but he was pretending to be asleep. He chuckled a little.
"I guess I'm not going to get an answer then."

Alex let out a faint laugh. "Ah. Sorry." he replied with a slight shrug.

"It's alright," Gabe said with a smile. He liked Alex's laugh. He just wished he could get Alex to give it more.

Alex tucked back a strand of loose hair, taking a deep breath.

Gabe rubbed Matthew's back a little.
"How was your day here?" He asked.

Alex shrugged a little bit. "I don't know. It was fine." he replied softly.

Gabe nodded.
"I know Matthew can be really pushy."

"Yeah." he agreed with a faint smile.

Gabe chuckled a little. By now, Matthew was actually asleep.
"He wasn't too much, was he?"

He shrugged. "He was fine."

Gabe nodded.
"Good." Martha came out of her room.
"Good to see you back," she said to Gabe.

Alex went quiet when Martha came out, letting out a quiet breath.

Gabe glanced at Alex, carefully rubbing the back of Alex's hand before turning back to Martha.
"Then you for letting us stay. We'll be gone after dinner." Martha nodded.
"Of course. With all the help you've given my family, it's the least I can do."

Alex blinked when Gabe rubbed his hand, glancing up at Gabe for a moment.

Gabe didn't see Alex look at him for a moment, nodding to Martha before turning back to Alex. He tilted his head at Alex a little.

Alex blinked, then looked away again.
