Atlas grinned, closing his eyes. If he wasn't keeping Rexus from anything he was quite content to make sure the albie was happy. Besides, it was so damn cute.

It took longer than Atlas had anticipated for him to be back on his feet, the symptoms taking a few days to subside enough for Rexus to be happy letting him wander about the house at his leisure. His balance wasn't quite perfect yet, but it would do.
They were just beginning to form a routine, a lifestyle that involved each other, Atlas's mindless chatter, and Rexus's stubborn attitudes. Atlas knew he was in trouble the moment that all this began to seem familiar rather than awkward. He was beginning to care too much, and the thought terrified him. Leaving was both inevitable and necessary, there was nothing to be gained my overstaying one's welcome, but the longer he stayed, the harder it would be to go. It would be the right thing to do, to leave, he'd be able to slip out quietly without burning bridges.
So, why couldn't be bring himself to mention it to Rexus?
Atlas finished dressing himself in the bathroom, as per the routine. He platted his hair loosely, just to keep it out of the way, and checked his reflection in the mirror. The pinched look was fading, though Atlas couldn't help but suspect it was something to do with the fact he was now getting three square meals a day rather than the fact than anything else. Reasonably satisfied, he headed down the stairs into the kitchen.
"Morning."
We’re all hysterical & going nowhere together.
C’mon rapture. Let’s go bedazzling.
Nothing gets futured without its own spitshine
& I’m already not not not not not not miraculous.
