Alex sat up a little. “Autumn?” He called out. He didn’t want to be alone.
Alex sat up a little. “Autumn?” He called out. He didn’t want to be alone.
Autumn almost fell off the couch in shock when Alex called for her. She made her way to the bedroom, biting her lip as she stood in the doorway.
"Yeah, babe?" she asked softly.
Alex gave her a sad look and stuck his arms out for her. “C’mere.”
Autumn took a deep breath and crawled into the bed with him, burying her face in his shoulder.
"I'm sorry," she choked out. She didn't know what she was sorry for, but, "I'm sorry…"
Alex wrapped his arms and legs around her and pulled her close. Alex didn’t even know what happened, but he felt bad.
Autumn took a few deep breaths, her face still buried in Alex's shoulder. She wrapped her own arms around him, hugging him tight.
She'd just felt like he was upset with her, but she didn't know what he was upset about. He hadn't really responded to her when she's tried to talk to him earlier, so she'd thought he'd been ignoring her.
Alex wasn’t upset, nor ignoring her. He was tired and out-of-it. He relaxed into her with a yawn and started to rub her back.
But, of course, with the lack of communication, Autumn didn't know that. Not then, and not now. Though she was beginning to wonder if he'd just been sleeping again…
Alex kissed her cheek. “I’m sorry, baby. Sorry I upset you.”
"It's not your fault," Autumn said, her voice barely at a whisper.
Alex leaned his head close to hers. “Yeah it was.”
Autumn shook her head a little, avoiding meeting his eyes. "It was my fault, not yours."
Alex sighed softly and shook his head. “It wasn’t, but okay.” He shut his eyes, his lashes brushing her face.
"We should just… forget about it… Pretend it never happened…" Autumn suggested softly. His eyelashes tickled a little, and it made her lips quirk up slightly.
Alex opened his eyes again. The lashes tickled her again. “Would you like that?”
"Yeah. That'd be great," Autumn said, nodding a bit.
Alex nodded a bit with her. “Okay. Let’s do that, then.”
"M'kay," Autumn sighed, kissing him on the nose.
Alex fell silent, his gaze averted to looking over her shoulder tiredly. It was too early and he too hungry to try and fix what happened.
"Do you want to go back to sleep?" Autumn asked quietly, resting her head on his shoulder.
Alex shrugged. “Nah. It’s early but I’m awake, now.”
"How about some breakfast, then?" Autumn suggested, giving him a small smile.
Aled sighed softly and nodded. “That sounds good.” He glaned at her with a slight grin.
"Well, c'mon, then sleepyhead. Let's go," Autumn chuckled, sliding out of bed.
Alex whined softly. “But I wanna stay here and snuggle, too.”
