[color=mediumspringgreen]“Okay, I think I’m going to call it until Veil comes back.”[/color] James stood and took his leave with a wave and another suppressed yawn, the door closing softly behind him. He eyed the row of doors without fucking door knobs--he should really make Havoc fix all this shit after the stunt he'd pulled--and decided it was low on the priority list. He was tired and sore and he just wanted his bed and his boyfriend now.

The boyfriend he almost lost today. His stomach twisted itself into a knot at the thought. Thank God Callie was there to do something because once he realized he couldn't heal it, he started panicking. Especially since the Princess' little game, the thought of dying just didn't concern him. Killing him was difficult and whatever this new thing was--neutralizing tear gas and stopping bullets--made it almost impossible it seemed. It really dulled the fear of death when you knew you could walk through just about anything and come out with barely a scratch. 

But he hadn't realized he extended that lack of fear to those around him. He hadn't considered how vulnerable everyone else was. Magik's death was awful but M-Pox had always resisted his abilities so it was easy to wave it aside as an outlier. He dragged Luna back from the brink of death and before that, he'd done it with Casper. But today between Echo's spine and Casper's bullet wound, he was reminded that not everyone had the privilege of ignoring the very real threat of death. It was sobering and he realized he needed to have a conversation with someone.

He came down the stairs slowly, considering whether or not it was a good idea. They hadn't been together that long and he didn't want to rush Casper but he at least needed to let him know. James took a deep breath and searched around for his boyfriend and smiled fondly at the sight of him. God he was the best, crazy past and everything. He hummed contently as he put his arm around Casper's waist.

[Color=mediumspringgreen]"Hey, think we can head up to the room for a bit? I got something I want to talk with you about."[/color] James asked.
