    the words on the page in front of alex are starting to blur, and that's the only way he knows it's late. it's not enough to jolt him out of reading (it's a book about the economic history of brazil he found sitting on the floor, coated in a layer of dust), but it's enough that he makes a mental note about it. like, 'oh, i've been here for a while,' before moving on and filing the thought to the back of his head, where other important things go like tomorrow's cabin inspection.

    he knows he probably should get something to eat, that the others would dote on him. eliza would make fretting noises, and jon would get food, and hanson would probably try to make him eat, and angelica would - well. angelica would probably laugh and tell george to film it while alex made indignant noises.

    friends are weird, he's decided. he's never had friends before. he's still not sure if they even count as friends, if he wants to have friends. alex never let anyone from school get too close to him, no one on puerto rico wanted to, and peter's more or less ignored his existence since james left them.

    but that doesn't matter, not really. he doesn't like to think about it the same as he doesn't like to think about more or less anything else that's happened in his life, so he tries to focus back in on the book. the words continue to refuse to focus properly, and sets the book down with the pages fanned out so he can get back to his page. he sets his face in his hands, massaging his eyes so lights pop behind his eyelids with his thumbs and takes a deep breath.

    "pull it together," he mumbles to himself. he needs to stop thinking about the past; it's done and over with, and he's moved on, but it keeps popping up and it's really messing with his head.

    hanson hadn't felt like eating today. he'd left another girl at her bunk that morning with a fleeting kiss and an empty promise to come back later, and she'd called that she'd see him at the mess hall, maybe, at his retreating back. so he'd avoided the mess hall and flirted a bag of crisps off of an unsuspecting hecate boy. it's cold, for may, so he ducks into the nearest building. damn. it's the library, and the clio kid at the front desk eyes him warily, so hanson shoots him a charming grin and makes his way to the back, winding his way through the twisting aisles of bookshelves. pull yourself together, he hears and pauses. peeking through an empty space in the bookshelves.
    there sits alexander, squeezing his eyes shut tight enough there are clear crinkles at the corners of his eyes, standing out among the bruises under them.
    rounding the corner, he tosses the bag of crisps so that it lands on alexander's book after hitting the side of his head."hey, crazy person," he says, grinning lopsidedly (arrogantly) in the way he knows alexander hates, leaning against the bookshelf, "don't starve yourself to death. i thought you were smart."

    alex jolts, hands jerking away from his eyes and heart pounding in his chest. "hanson," he says, doing his best to not sound overly irritated. it's not that he doesn't want to have friends so much as he'd just rather be alone, most of the time. it's a personal preference, and particularly considering that he goes to the library to be alone, well. he thinks he's understandably irritated.

    hanson's grinning that arrogant grin, and alex's skin is crawling. it's not that it makes him uneasy or uncomfortable, it's just too damn attractive that it makes alex want to scream. he's got jon now, and he can't go around mourning for what could have been or whatever pretentious phrase describes it best. it's pathetic, honestly.

    "i'm plenty smart, excuse you," he shoots back, "and i won't starve to death because i missed one meal, man, that's just ridiculous. keep your chips." he tosses the bag back at him, aiming for his head but probably falling short.

    alexander flinches when the bag hits his head, and hanson has a second to feel bad about it before the shorter boy's glaring up at him. and - gods, he's beautiful. even with the dark circles in his eyes, his hair frizzed out around his head, and the distinctively pallid colour of his skin, he's breathtaking. thank apollo alexander's throw is way off, and hanson has to tear his eyes away to reach out and grab the bag of crisps before it hits the ground.

    "oh yeah? if you were that smart, couldn't you have just, i dunno, calculated your throw better?" he scoffs playfully, and opens the bag. "what kinda nerd are you?" through a mouthful of crisps, he chews noisily, and subtly taps into his son-of-apollo side. all of the god's kids had shifts at the infirmary, and as such, had an eye for illnesses and the like. the unhealthy white-yellow undertone to alexander's skin, the way he keeps blinking tightly, the tiny tremble of his fingers as he turns the pages of the book in front of him - clear signs of sleep deprivation, which is a Bad Thing. sure, it might be hypocritical of hanson (who's had maybe five hours of sleep this entire week, each only next to a warm body) but he reaches down and plucks the book out of alexander's lap.

    "you can't be serious, dude," he says, "you wanna get ahead and save the world or some sh*t? i'm confiscating this book until you either sleep or eat, or i'll tell eliza. or your boyfriend, whoever comes first." he counts it as a personal victory that he didn't wince at 'your boyfriend.' "i heard there's leftover pizza at the mess hall," he says, sing-song. he'll escort alexander to the mess hall if he has to, doesn't matter if he'd have to see the girl he left this morning (he forgot her name) there.

    alex rolls his eyes, over exaggerating as much as possible. "don't you know us bookish types are allergic to sports?" he says. "besides, who needs hand eye coordination when they can know the history of russia or whatever."

    he thinks that maybe he and hanson are going to have a civil, joking conversation for once, that hanson won't take something alex says the wrong way or alex won't get too prickly the way he always does, but then hanson goes all son of apollo, god of medicine and alex can feel his shoulders tensing.

    "i'm fine," he says, voice cold as steel. it's not his fault that the magical heating on the hermes cabin went haywire and it's been abnormally warm the past two weeks. it took him less than a minute to realize trying to sleep in there would trigger his ptsd, and his attempted afternoon nap only proved it when he woke up sobbing and dry heaving. he's been running on three hours of sleep a night in one of the library's armchairs and he's fine. "i don't need you to mother me, jesus."

    he's not upset about the book. there's a whole library, and he's got his stash in his trunk. even if he can't read he's got his notebooks, and he knows he can get pens and paper from the library when he sneaks back out for the night. it's just - he's fine, he's always been fine handing it on his own and there's no way he's going to go into the whole 'my mom died while i was in her arms and now i can't sleep in hot tempertures without vomiting.'

    hanson's pretty sure that if alex rolls his eyes any harder, they'll roll right out of his head, and he can't help the affection that pokes at his heart. it's moments like these - where alex seems almost willing to joke around with hanson - that he waits anxiously for. of course, it doesn't last long.

    hanson places his hand over his heart, affecting a shocked and touched expression. ""i'm flattered you think i could be a mother to anyone," he says, voice deceptively light. if it were eliza, or angelica, or jon, alex would have caved within seconds. but alex has never trusted hanson - and rightly so. hanson would f*ck up.

    "anyway, what the f*ck is wrong with you?" he scoffs, forcing the subject back to something he's comfortable with. "i said, there's leftover pizza in the mess hall. why aren't you up already?" he dangles the book in front of alex's face, grinning again. "here, i'll give it back so you can read while eating, even. i'm very generous."
