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?"

Excellent choices. While they both took the invitation to pluck their morsels away with their mouths, the white half chose to use his tongue as extra leverage against the fingers holding it; the black half chose his teeth, scraping them lightly along the pad of Alex's finger. The white Jordan hummed in appreciation and moved as Alex did to give him room for what he was doing. His counterpart merely shifted without actually letting Alex go for a single moment. Neither of them cared to move away, but they apparently had their different ways of keeping close.

"Such lofty promises," teased the Jordan behind Alex. He purred almost as if he were teasing. "I'm going to make sure you live up to them, Dust. To the very letter."

The other Jordan gave Alex an appraising, affectionate look. "He wouldn't disappoint us, not after talking so big," he said.
