Eli couldn't help the small squeak of surprise that left his lips. His hand jumped off the door knob as if it were on fire before he whipped around to face the owner of the voice. The priest was prepared to lecture Finn's ears off, to nitpick every detail that didn't fall along the lines of a good and religious man. However, the moment he saw Finn, his chest tightened and he could hardly breathe. Not even he could tell what it was about him that struck Eli with such force. And even if it had become clear to him, it was not something he could explain in words. Perhaps it was dread, not happiness that the lanky man hadn't run away. Eli hoped it was.

The next thing that caught his attention was how Finn was noticeably clean. Then his eyes traveled upwards to stare long and hard at that trademark grin before a hint of his own smile graced his face. Despite Finn's lack of clothes, Eli wasn't as perturbed as he was yesterday though his face was still a healthy shade of red. A mixture of pride and relief blossomed in his chest; God was indeed watching over him.

"Don't think so highly of yourself," Eli said lightly. "And please put on some clothes," he asked with an imploring gaze.

It would be quite rude if Eli tied up Finn to prevent the man from escaping. He turned around to say exactly that but froze like a deer in the headlights. Finn was now busy taking off his pants. The flustered priest looked away, his eyes squeezed tight as he clenched his jaw. Would he ever get used to a Finn removing his clothes in front of him? If he didn't know any better, Finn enjoyed agitating him in any way possible. He whipped his head to scold the grown man again despite his raging headache, only to find him on the bed mumbling his last words before succumbing to sleep. Eli paused, staring at Finn's face as he visibly relaxed. There was no crude smirk or predatory smile on Finn's lightly freckled face, giving the criminal a...soft look. "How sweet," he whispered. "Good night."

He pondered if he should lift and move Finn's lean legs onto the bed. But that would mean he would have to physically touch him. Eli turned beet red. He wouldn't even be able to place Finn properly on the bed! After all, the man was much taller and (probably) heavier and - "Excuses," Eli bitterly told himself, rubbing his forehead. His thoughts churned in his tired brain but in the end, Eli decided against it. If the man had back-ache in the morning or even find himself on the floor, the priest would make sure not to make a single comment. Eli bent down to pick up the discarded pant, folding it and placing it on the desk. Casting one last glance at Finn, he exited the room, softly shutting the door behind him.

Eli then went into his room, falling to his knees to make a quick prayer before crawling onto his bed. Although he was ashamed that he had made such a cursory prayer, his bed was far more important. By the time his head touched the pillow, he passed out. He dreamed about home, his father, and much to his chagrin, Finn's face would pop up. He muttered in his sleep before tossing over. It was safe to say that the priest liked to move around in his sleep, waking up in odd positions.

This time, he found himself on his stomach, leisurely sprawled out with his arms underneath him. The morning light shone in his closed eyes, efficiently waking Eli up. He groaned before rolling over to the side before slowly stretching out his body. He cracked his eyes open, staring at the peeling wallpaper. Where was he? Oh yeah, somewhere far out West. As he started to slowly recount his adventure, he ran a hand through his raging bed-head. West. Town. Judge. Gallows. God. Finn. Eli shot up, scrambling to get to the bedroom next door. He stood there in front of the door, his breath quickening as he reached over to open the door. Finn would be there, right?

"Finn!" Eli frowned when the lanky man threw out a curse word. He couldn't stop himself from blushing though and promptly looked away. The afternoon passed by with more teasing, blushing, and giggling. A bare but filling supper was served and the two ate in relative peace. Of course, Finn didn't make any real attempt to say grace with Eli. But the priest reminded himself that these things took time and patience. By the time night fell, Finn was visibly uncomfortable as Eli tried not to slump in his seat. Exhaustion was catching up and he felt the first signs of a migraine settling in.

When Finn said he was going to sleep, Eli instantly shot up before staggering back into his seat again. Hours of sitting with a prim posture had stiffened his muscles. With a muffled groan, he carefully stretched his legs, glancing back at Finn just in time to catch the wild thing stripping. His face flushed a bright red and Eli covered his face with his hands, quite horrified. "F-Finn, stripping in the living room is rude," he hissed. With one hand attempting to cover the sight of a half-naked Finn, Eli stood up and walked over to the bottom of the steps.

"As much as I'd like to tie you up, no. You're not an animal," he answered with a faint sigh. Eli beckoned Finn to follow with his hand before dashing up the stairs. He muttered a quick prayer to God to help him get through Finn's stubborn brain before opening the spare bedroom door. The room was sparsely furnished with only a bed, a desk, and a chair. "I know it's not much but..." He patted the pillow, turning back to look at Finn. "Better than nothing," he finally said with a weary smile.
