sounds like hallelujah

ALISTAIR Her breath was soft and steady. Slowly, gently, Alistair turned onto his side and lay Rexanna down. It all happened slow enough not to wake her. As she slept, he simply watched. Watched her stir, keeping his arms around her, so when she did he'd feel the tickle of her nose against his chest. Sleep hadn't come easily for some time, and he hardly expected it to come quickly now. Alistair grinned as he continued to stroke along her hair. The evening had proven eventful, there was no denying that...but had he really wanted to get invested, trust another person so completely as he had done before? The past was a stinging, constant reminder, a warning. He wasn't quite sure how to go about it, and perhaps...he thought, that was for the best. No expectations meant he could never be disappointed... though he was curious how Devrum, or even Ronin take the news that he got...reacquainted with himself...in a way. For now, Alistair didn't think. He simply focused on the beautiful woman who didn't appear in a rush to leave his company. As the sun had risen on a new day, Alistair would wake. He had only slept an hour, having watched Rex for a majority of the night after their hat trick of canoodling. Alistair had woken with Rexanna's back pressed firmly against him. Dark strands engulfing his nose. He'd hold her just a little tighter, pressing a kiss to the back of her neck. "Morning...stay here, I'll fix you some breakfast." He muttered quietly in her ear, though the good morning was a formality. Before he could even say a word chances are she may have felt his external alarm clock against her, doing all but physically ring to wake her. Alistair would step out and dress himself, laughing quietly at the location their clothes had ended up. In no time at all, he had plated omeletes with wild greens. He'd wait for Rex to wake before draping his coat over her once more, and serving her a hot breakfast. "Do you have somewhere to be today?" He'd ask with a slow forming grin, himself in no rush to lose her company.
