Lucy sighed and stood up, walking into the living room and curling up on the couch near Kyrie.

Alec closed his eyes, shutting out his surroundings and curled into a ball with a light shiver.

Lucy sighed.'I really want to go and see him, but I know he'll problably just get angry if I do, since I said I'd give him his space..' He thought, fiddling with one of the strings on his pants boredly.

Alec shivered again as he lay there, he wasn't cold he knew that much. He sat up after a moment moving to the door but stopping, he didn't want to go out there, not quite yet anyway.

Lucy looked up when he heard Alec moving around and he pouted, when the boy stopped at the door.

Alec sighed slightly and moved to sit back on the bed once more. Maybe he'd feel better when dinner time came around.

About 30 minutes later, nero came into the bedroom and smiled at Alec."Dinner's ready, Alec. You feel better now?"

Alec shrugged slightly, he wasn't sure he felt any better. It was generally a bad thing for him to be alone and this time hadn't seemed to be much of an exception. He stood up from the bed.

"Come, then.. We sort of need your help, Lucy has gone into depression, he's been trying to scratch his arms up with his sharp fingernails.." Nero said, laughing nervously.

Alec blinked slightly startled by the news. "Oh okay," said Alec.

"And Kyrie can't hold his hands still enough to clip his nails so he can't cut himself.." Nero said, looking back to make sure Lucy was okay."So, can you hurry and get in there?I know your not used to him, but we might need you to start looking at him more, and such..make him feel less lonely.He does this when he sees me loving on Kyrie too much.."

"Um okay I can try," said Alec lightly rubbing one of his arms. He didn't want to look at Lucy because he was afraid that if he did he might indeed get attached and then he really could never bring himself to leave, and any hope of getting back to heaven would be gone. But wasn't that just being selfish, and he didn't like that feeling so he moved to go into the living room.

Lucy was crying, huddled up in a corner of the couch, trying to claw his own arms open, not even noticing Alec yet, as he couldnt hear anything over his tears.

Kyrie sighed and looked over the back of the couch."Can you get over here and sit by Lucy, Alec?He's really depressed, as Nero problably told you.."

Alec sighed slightly, this was partially his own doing, he couldn't stand to see the demon huddled up like that. Alec moved over to sit on the couch next to Lucy, there was still some space between them but he slowly scooted over until they were touching.

Lucy looked up, expecting it to be Nero trying to comfort him, but to his surprise, it was Alec.He very subtley smiled and pulled the little angel close, still cryng a bit, but now hugging his little angel like a child would a teddy bear.

Alec was able to control his urge to pull away, sigh, or roll his eyes. In fact he managed to lean against Lucy a little.

Lucy, now crying happy tears, gently cuddled Alec, kissing the boy's neck gently, happy that the little boy wasn't objecting at all.

Alec closed his eyes slightly when Lucy kissed his neck, he wished the demon wouldn't do that, not that it bothered him but because it felt too good.

Lucy cuddled the little angel lovingly but a bit roughly, now making an odd purring sound as he nuzzled Alec's neck.

Alec was starting to feel a little uncomfortable now and he squirmed slightly in Lucy's grasp.

Lucy eased up his grip a bit, and kissed Alec's cheek, now sitting up a little bit more and looking a bit happier, but still looking quite depressed.

Alec was able to relax again when Lucy's grip eased up a bit. He didn't know what else to do.

Lucy purred and gently petted Alec's head, happy that the boy had relaxed, now.

Alec blinked slightly, starting to look a bit unhappy with the situation.

Lucy stopped petting Alec and looked up as Nero brought him a plate of pasta, with marinara sauce with no meat in it covering it."Th-thank you, Nero.."He said, gently putting Alec beside him.

Nero smiled."Glad to see your both feeling a bit better." He said, handing Alec his plate and fork as well."Don't worry Alec, all that's in the sauce is tomatos and herbs, seriously.No meat.So you don't have to worry." He said, walking off to get his and Kyrie's plates.
