and I'm having double trouble [ closed ]

WHO Alex Daniels ([personal profile] selfperpetuate) and Jordan Leslie ([personal profile] sensationate)
WHAT magical hijinks turn one man into two. what's a boyfriend to do
WHEN modern day-ish?
WHERE Alex and Jordan's shared home
WHY because it's Leo's fault for being a terrible dad

Sleeping was the absolute worst for someone like Alex. Being an empath, vampiric or not, meant that no matter what, Alex could feel everything. During the day when he was awake and could focus, Alex could just block it out, ignore the desire to find the nearest person and take his fill of of their feelings, their desires. When he was asleep, he had absolutely no control over everyone's feelings rushing in and overtaking his mind as dreams twisted into nightmares and nightmares back to dreams on a whim.

It helped to have Jordan next to him, a soothing, familiar mind to help make a shield around Alex's raw nerve of a mind. Tonight was a bad night and not even his boyfriend laying next to him could stop the emotional onslaught he felt. Tossing and turning, he pushed himself up against Jordan in his sleep until there was no more bed and he pushed Jordan off accidentally, waking up the moment he felt the pain from his boyfriend.

"Damn it," he murmured as he ran his hands through his hair and looked in the direction where he knew Jordan lay on the floor. "You okay down there or do I have to send in search and rescue to bring you back up?"

Dating an empath wasn't always the easiest thing in the world, but there were definitely benefits to go with the drawbacks and Jordan wasn't one to complain where anyone could hear him. It wasn't Alex's fault and Jordan was more than willing to deal with the complications. That was just who Alex was and always would be. If that meant some nights without sleep or apparently mornings where he would be shoved out of bed, then yeah, he could deal with that.

Well, he could deal with the shoving, anyway. Not so much what apparently happened afterward.

"Ow," he said.

"Ow," he said.

There was a long moment of silence after that, confusion especially obvious.

"Ow?" they both said.
