[The Roof, Sunday Night]

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec took a sip from his water bottle and adjusted his balance on the edge of the roof. Maybe it wasn't a great idea, standing where it'd be entirely too easy to be pushed off the roof or fall if you shifted too fast, but Alec was never all that bothered by what most would call "common sense".

Seeing as how he was kinda drifting in his thoughts, it'd be entirely too easy to surprise him right now.

Deciding that he didn't really want to be alone and not the least bit tired yet, Dean went searching for some company.

The roof was the second place he looked and he watched Alec on the edge for a moment before speaking.

"Contemplating trying to fly?"

Alec see-sawed a little bit before looking around at Dean, leaning back towards the roof. "Hey! Nah, just watching things roll by."

"Might want to watch things go by not so close to the edge." In contrast to his words though, Dean came over and sat on the edge beside where Alec was standing and looked over the edge. "Anything interesting roll by?"

"I'll be fine," he protested, grinning as Dean joined him. "It's pretty quiet tonight. Nice weather though."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. If you were standing up here in a freaking thunderstorm I'd worry you'd lost it."

Alec glanced up at the tower that stood high above the roof. "Don't think it'd be a problem, other than probably getting wet."

Dean smirked. "I could say something about having enough sense to come in out of the rain, but it's too easy." He paused. "I was talking to Bridge today."

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"Yeah?" Alec sipped his water, looking out over the island. "And rain's not that bad, especially when it's warm like here."

"Wait a few months and see if you still think that," Dean warned. He continued on in an almost casual tone. "Yeah. And we got talking about how he's not allowed to touch anyone when he's at home, and the whole touching thing is kinda a thing with me right now, so.... I let him touch me. Which meant he could read me."

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

He wrinkled his nose, suppressing an uneasy shudder at the thought. "Why?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean shrugged. "Like I said, I seem to have developed a thing about people not being able to touch."

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec eyed him a moment, then shrugged, willing to understand to a point. "Okay, fine. So?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"So he read me," Dean repeated, emphasising the word. "Picked up some things I wanted him to and... he picked up about us."

Pip walked up the stairs to the roof to find it occupied. "Oh, hey. You mind if I smoke or play my guitar?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec shrugged. "Nah, go ahead. Not my roof, anyway."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Excellent," Pip said as he lit a cigarette and wielded his guitar. "Any requests?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"Don't know much music by name," Alec said, leaning over the edge rather precariously before glancing at Pip. "So whatever you want, I guess." He grinned. "If I don't like it I can always tell you to stop."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip put a foot up edge and started to play something rollicking and lively. "You got a death wish, mon ami?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"Pas du tout," Alec said, shaking his head. "Just like to get the breeze by the edge and the feeling of being high up."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"I guess I can understand that," Pip said. "Ever been in an helicopter?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"Flew a Blackhawk a couple times," he said, smiling at the memory. "Like planes better, but helicopters have the maneuverability."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"They're also a lot better if you want to feel the breeze," Pip said. "Although not having ever flown anything, I guess I can't comment."

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"Nothing like flying a fighter jet," Alec said, grinning. "You don't feel the breeze, but flying is the best feeling in the world."

[sp is cool - will be able to reply tomorrow, whenever you wake up :)]

Pip shrugged. "Well, I think I am officially counted out from that duty for the rest of my life, eh?"

Alec glanced back at him, taking in the eye patch again before asking, "What happened?"
