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?"

There was only an honest, darkly amused laugh at how far Alex was being pushed. Jordan wouldn't rise to the bait, could see the transparency in bringing up his white counterpart, and knew it was from aggravation and desperation to find a chink in his armor. There was no wiggle room for Alex, he was making sure of it, and he was ready to keep going at his own pace no matter how much Alex tried to rush him.

"What's a waste is how you keep running that mouth of yours instead of using it," he countered. To keep pace with Alex's squirming, he shifted just enough to get an angle on his mouth. The hand holding Alex's shifted in response, a momentary rearrangement to accommodate his new position and, if Jordan noticed that he was no longer invincible even for that brief moment, he didn't let it show.
