Sometimes you fall before you fly // open

[October Cursay]

('Sweaty' XD lol that's hilarious!! You mean sweety?)

The next couple of words were sort of a blur, she only heard small words like bunk bed and together. Which was a little reassuring for sure! She nodded to the desk lady and stuck close by the man. She still had some questions, but they'd have to wait....

(Oh god! So short...)

[Alec M'Crae]

(OMGG xD f*cking autocorrect!)

The man nodded, thanked the lady and led October to the room. The beds were made and put across the room from each other. "I hope you two sleep well. For breakfast tomorrow I think we're having pancakes and bacon and I think scrambled eggs. Better hurry before it's all gone! Goodnight~" As he spoke he lowered Alec onto one of the beds, tucking him under the sheets and making sure he was comfortable looking. Thank he folded out the sheets for October and shit off the light and hit the door. Alec slept peacefully and he looked warm under the fleece covers.

[October Cursay]

('Shit off the lights' <3 Autocorrect)

Now left alone in the small room, October was left to her own devices and such. She first element around the room, testing out the beds and whatever else she could get her little hands on. She found a sock under the bed and a burnt match in the corner. She liked the smell of burning matches, so that was a good fine for her.
The sock was clean at least and it smelled like detergent.
Discarding the items to the top of her bunk, she hopped down beside Alex and began to gently shake him, making little cooing noises like a pigeon. Her shakes were soft but constant as she tried ever so hard to wake him up.

[Alec M'Crae]

(GODDAMMIT. Arggg)

Alec woke up and the first thing he was was October. But than he realized he wasn't at the mental institute. He sat up, rubbing his tired eyes and looking around at what he could see in the darkness. It made him nervous, and he don't like it here since he didn't know where he was. Alec looked back at October with fear in his eyes, his breathing going uneasy. Being the child he truly was he even felt like crying, but he did his best not to she'd any tears. Alec was already homesick and afraid out of his mind, and he just hoped October would know what to do.

[October Cursay]

October smiled as he came to, she backed up, sitting on her legs and bending forward to look over him. He looked pretty taken aback, but otherwise unharmed. She gestured to the room and touched his arm lightly for reassurance. It would be okay, they'd be fine.
She smiled softly and nodded to the door, the man was gone but that a good thing. October was never fond of too many people. She sat down on the soft blankets, lightly pulling him and showing him her little finds. She took out the sock and the match, holding them out like treasures. This was one if those kid moments, where she took pride in things that didn't matter. Like, what was one sock without the other? And what use was a burnt match?
Undeterred, October leaned against the wall, smiling childishly and embracing him in a kind manner. She was happy he was okay, passing out for so long and what not.

[Alec M'Crae]

Alec began to calm down a little when she reassured they were going to be okay. It's so strange how so much communication could be happening between two people who don't say any words of any kind, and the fact they were best friends at this point. He stared in amazement when he saw what she found, becoming a kid moment for him as well. Alec took the sock and put it over his nose, imitating an elephant. He even made that elephant noise with his mouth, even though it sounded more like a helicopter over an animal of any kind. Than he found a button in his pillow when he felt a lumpy item in it and out it beside the match, proud of his own discovery. He still kept the sock over his nose finding it really funny.

[October Cursay]

Aye, childish indeed. October clapped her hands together, smiling like no other and giggling like a clown. She imitated him with the elephant noise sounding not even remotely close to the animal. She smiled though and that it hilarious.
She looked at the other match stored in his pillow and came up with her own humorous skit.
She took the burnt math or hers and Alec's and held them near her teeth, making little chirping noises, that were supposed to sound like a walrus. October didn't know what they sounded like though so it was all improvisation. Silly children...

[Alec M'Crae]

Alec giggled a little, knowing he was suppose to stay quiet at night so he wouldn't wake up anyone. He took of the sock from his nose because the fluff from it made him sneeze a couple times, but he found that funny to and laughed anyway. A moment of loneliness and fear became a night to laugh his head off with his best friend. Could it get any better than that? No way!
(Ahh shortt -__-)

[October Cursay]

She smiled, it was always a great thing to enjoy herself. And with someone she liked was great too, even better. It was such a change from her terrorizing life back at the station where they forced her to do things that she hated. It was why she was such a wreck, scaring her into a life of silence and fear.
October felt so alone sometimes, it was sad. But things could change right? Even if for the night she liked that she could be happy even for just a few hours. He next morning they would go back to institute as said by the man. She was at ease, for now.

[Alec M'Crae]

Alec let out a yawn, despite the fact he just slept. Noises were still going on outside and it scared him, not wanting to sleep out of fear. The boy bit his lip, looking at his feet and flinching when a man started yelling at himself. Alec took October's hand, well more like grabbing her arm, and hid behind her, pressing his forehead against her back. It was going to be a long night...

[October Cursay]

Slightly frightened herself, she winced as the yelling echoed down the hall at an alarming volume. But, with her friend behind her, she turned around and patted him gently on the back, saying silently that it was okay and that things would get good again. Like at the park! That was pretty fun, she thought anyways.
Then she got an idea, it was somehow she always did when she was smaller and was afraid. She got off the bed for a second and lifted the covers off her bed off and pulled them on top of her and Alec like a small tent. October hooked it on a small nook in the bed so that it wasn't in their faces. She smiled faintly and silently comforted him with small pats and hugs.
Now it was a small little cave, she always found it soothing and it made her feel better.

[Alec M'Crae]

Alec liked the idea of having a cave above them. It was really cool and it made him feel safe, especially with October in their cave with him. The boy smiled, looking around at their enclosed area. At one moment Alec started to wonder here Bloo went, for the beast hasn't shown up in a long time and he was starting to miss him. Actually, Alec missed the mental institute a lot as well. Alec felt unsafe again, even in the security of this cave, and it made him but on his bottom lip. You could see the insecurity in his eyes that were looking all glassy and wet. His odds of crying were increasing but he didn't want to in front of his best friend. Alec was able to hold it in for a while but the man yelled again and his heart skipped a beat, tears escaping his eyes but he quickly buried his face in his hands.

[October Cursay]

October didn't like to cry, even she it was appropriate. They always were sad and made her cry too if she saw someone else crying. But Alec's tears bright about a different sadness, like long melancholy song that made people really forlorn or really angry.
She slowly scooted closer to him and put her arms around him, leaning her head on his shoulder and she offered hers.
She rubbed his back in small soothing circles like people did with babies. She wished sometimes she could be like that. Have someone care for her like a parent would. Alec was a wonderful friend of course and she could never dream of losing him, he was all she really had. October cried too, silently into his shoulder, her embrace tightening slightly with the sobs.

[Alec M'Crae]

Alec embraced October as well, his tears moving a bit More slowly when he heard her crying. Now he felt as if it was his duty to comfort her through the night. Alec didn't mind her crying at all, but it made him feel bad, as if he did something wrong. Another year escaped his left eye, realizing their little adventure would be over soon, and he'd be left alone again to do absolutely nothing for another few weeks. It's sad how they couldn't keep the two together, for it kept Alec stable being with someone he cares a lot about. Another yell erupted an he held October tighter, wishing they would be able to close their eyes and wake up somewhere else.

[October Cursay]

October sniffles and picked her head up, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand. She would loath that, in the morning, he would have to leave and she may have to go back to the station. That was part of the reason she was crying. The man yelling wasn't something new to her, back where she lived people yelled all the time whether it was at each other or at her. She was used to he treatment they gave her, that fact that she had a someone who was so kind to her just played a part in the fact of why she was crying.
"Ahlu." She said with a trying smile. October didn't want Alec to see her so sad, she wanted to be strong too!
She sat against the wall, looking at the small window that let in the moonlight, she didn't have windows where she lived, but they had a skylight, which was pretty cool. She got to see the sky and the stars when she behaved and did as she was told. She wondered if Alec got to see the stars too.... Sh hoped so, they were really pretty.
