WHO Alex Daniels (selfperpetuate) and Jordan Leslie (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?"

Once they had all sufficiently rested, it was finally the proper time to get up for the day. Time wasn't going to wait for them, and they did in fact have things to do that compromised their ability to stay home and explore all of the implications of having two halves of one boyfriend available for who knew how long. On the other hand, they were going to have to figure out how to fix it because such things simply couldn't last forever without consequence. Still... now wasn't the time for that.

Standing out in the kitchen, both black and white halves of Jordan were finishing their dressing routine in order to be around Alex while he cooked. Normally Jordan would have been fine hidden away in the bathroom, but both halves separated from their whole meant they were somewhat on edge and less willing to take their belongings for granted. Namely, Alex. So here they were, facing each other and working on their ties as if they were mirror images. It was fairly adorable.

"Is that kale?" asked the white Jordan, eyes momentarily sliding toward Alex while his hands continued to move. His was a nicely colored blue suit with a white shirt underneath, a warm brown and red tie to set it off.

"Smells like it," said the black Jordan. He was wearing something sharp with pinstripes, a black undershirt to finish off the color coding and make it blatantly obvious which of them was which for the duration. It had happened by mutual, unspoken agreement purely out of the amusement factor it would bring. With a grin, he added, "I'm smelling orange and strawberry, too."
