Ellis didn't know what to say.
What the fuck is happening?
He stared at Andrew.
"You're lying", he stated.
Andrew's confused expression took over his face again. Elli was now so used to it that he was starting to question if Andrew even knew the face he was constantly making.
"I'm not, you just saw it yourself", he said hand pointing at the window.
"I did, but this is not your room", he looked at Andrew, eyes narrowed.
" That's not true, why're you saying that?", he answered back, crossing his arms.
"Because I just saw a group of people, probably bloodsuckers", he saw some emotion pass through Andrew's eyes, probably just his imagination, "pulling a girl out of the building and taking her away", he said with disgust while scrunching up his nose.
Andrew sighed and rubbed his thumb over Elli's nose, smothering the wrinkles on it.
Elli flinched.
"Those were not bloodsuckers", he said, emphasizing the word, "they are my cov-team, and that girl they were dragging from the building was a werewolf", he stated with an as-matter-of-fact face, trying to prove his point.
Elli looked at him.
"Huh?"
"I told you, that girl was a werewolf".
"But they took her out of this building, I thought that maybe she was the one living on this floor".
"Not really, that was me", Andre said, then he stopped and looked as if he was thinking,"oh and by the way, you should really close the small window of your bathroom, let's say it shows the inside a bit too much", he finished off with a smug face.
Elli flushed in the brightest tone of red, he internally screamed and hid his face.
Andrew found Elli's reactions amusing and decided to try tease him more, also hoping to see if Elli's face could get redder than it already was.
"You should really try to wear a towel before you step out of the shower, you give a full view of what you've got down there", he said clicking his tongue, "wouldn't be surprise if someone else living in one of the buildings, already knew how you look naked".
Elli knew what Andrew was doing. He frowned, the color on his cheeks never leaving.
"Are you insinuating that there might be people living in the other buildings?", Elli asked looking straight at Andrew.
"What do you mean?", Andrew asked with an innocent face.
"You know what I mean", Elli looked at him sternly, as if he was in a staring contest.
"How would I know?", he shrugged.
Elli sighed, he was impossible. He looked around and noticed how big Andrew's apartment was compared to his. The kitchen was enormous and he had a balcony outside where no one inside the other buildings could see.
"You have a very big room", he said while walking around, Andrew following behind.
"It's not the only thing I have that is big", he said with a proud smile. Elli didn't turn to look at him, he just continued to look around.
"Really, what else?", he asked, not really paying attention as he reached the book shelf and started getting excited over the new books there were.
"Here", Andrew took hid hand and placed it over something hard, Elli frowned and turned around.
"Wha-", his eyed widened suddenly and quickly pulled his hand away from Andrew's grip, so fast that his arm went all the way to the back of his head and his hand slammed on the wooden shelf.
Be winced and griped his hand firmly while trying to mitigate the pain.
"Why would you do that?!", he cried.
"Sorry...", Elli glared at him.
Elli ignored him and walked to the front door, gripping the doorknob ready to leave that place.
"Wait!", someone took hold of his wrist, he tried to shake the hand off but it wouldn't budge.
Elli looked at Andrew with narrowed eyed, Andrew was giving him puppy eyes and dramatically sniffing a as if he was about to cry. Elli rolled his eyes.
"What?"
"You can't go out yet, it's not safe!", he said while still gripping his wrist tightly.
Elli scrunched his nose, he knew the risks of going out there, someone could see him or smell his scent, that would end badly. But he also didn't want to stay there with Andrew, who was extremely weird, he also didn't think he was going to stop teasing him any soon.
"Why don't you go with me?"
"We really can't go out there, there were people outside just a while ago. Just stay here for a while until it's safe, please?" he looked at Elli serious but his eyed showed how worried and anxious he was.
"Fine", he gave in, "where do I sleep?"
Andrew smiled, "follow me".
***
Elli couldn't sleep, he was tired, but every time he closed his eyes he just wouldn't fall asleep.
He got out of bed slowly, unfolding the strong arms around his waist and got up slowly, leaving Andrew who was loudly snoring. The last thing he recalled was him forcing Andrew to sleep on the floor, Andrew might have a bigger room, but it didn't have three small ones like his. He must've slipped in the bed beside him a bit after midnight.
He walked to the balcony and for the first time in a while he looked at the city. His apartment room had a terrible view and having dirty windows didn't give exactly show definition of a perfect landscape.
Everything was consumed by darkness, except a couple of lights in some buildings far away and the small stars that covered the whole sky, he wished he'd seen it with Xander.
He could see the supermarket from there, with the "open" sign and the lights on as he'd seen though the window of his room.
He heard a vehicle and he lowered himself to a crouching position trying to disappear within the obscurity of the apartment while still being able to look.
It pulled over at the supermarket, two people got out of the car, a couple, and headed inside. After a couple of minutes they appeared again with full plastic bags in their hands and drove off.
These people... they were behaving as if it was just a normal day, as if nothing had ever happened.
