He yawned at glanced at the small digits in the lower right corner of his computer screen.

09:43

He hadn't been expecting himself to stay up all night. He hadn't planed to say up all night. Must have gotten all caught up in his work. The good news was that he was pretty much finished.

At least he didn't have to stress about getting the rest done. He could take his time and do it later if he wanted to. Lara and Winston usually woke up at this time but Lara always took a morning walk while Winston did some chores or something of the like.

Alister also woke up early but he liked to stay in bed and read for a while. Or well Zip guessed he was still in the library working today.

A wide smile spread on the tired hacker's face. "I should pay him a visit" He mumbled lazily.

"Or I should sleep for an hour or so before breakfast" He slowly changed his mind as his eyes complained loudly at having t be awake, if he had had some coffee while working it wouldn't have been this bad. Or if he had been more used to it.

"Well I might as well go to bed or I'll turn into one of those weirdos who live on coffee and stay up for 114 hours straight without going to bed" He mumbled and got up, heading into his own room he weakly kicked the door closed behind him before he threw himself into his bed and feel asleep as soon as he had closed his eyes.

:::::::::

He woke up not long after. Time to get up and make breakfast for those crazy ungrateful britts.

He forced himself out of bed and slowly made his way into the kitchen were he made himself some coffee to wake up fully.

Then he started to make breakfast and when he was about done the door opened and both Lara and Winston stepped inside, soon after Alister joined as well.

Another unexciting meal went by with normal conversation.

Alister smiled and tiredly told Lara that he was done with what needed to be done until Friday and he would continue with the rest after he was done eating.

Or well that was the plan but as he left the kitchen he felt like he needed a nap, his eyes were still tired. Well there was no need to rush with the rest so he decided to return back into his room, not before grabbing some books anyway. After all he didn't need to be in the library to read.

The historian made himself comfortable in his big bed and grabbed one of the books only to place it back seconds later. He closed his eyes and relaxed. Closing out everything else he didn't hear the door open and then close again, nor did he hear the foots steps that came closer to him all the time.

He did feel his glasses getting removed though and he opened his eyes surprised.

"Zip..." He sighed "No games now" he mumbled quietly and the hacker chuckled and carefully stroke his cheek.

"I'm not gonna play any games with you Al" He lay down in the bed next to him and moved closer, wrapping an arm around Alister and the closed his eyes.

"I'm just gonna... nap here if that's okay with you"

Alister smiled and closed his eyes again "Fine"

Then they were quiet and just lay there, breathing softly. Alister could feel Zip's warm hand being placed on his stomach and his warm breath on his neck. He enjoyed it.

After a while Zip spoke quietly.

"Ya know I'm going to get you that ring"

"Yes Zip"

"Yeah it's a real nice one... but I think I'll wait a little cause it's special"

Alister was to tired to ask any questions or so, he just wanted to sleep.

"If you say so dear"

Zip smiled "I'm going to shut up now but... You know I like you"

"I like you too"

"Good"

Alister felt how the hackers hand traveled around until he found the historian's and grabbed it, squeezing it gently. Alister squeezed back and smiled and moved closer to Zip before sighing and then dozing off.

Zip smiled and looked at him for a little while, stroking his soft hair and taking in his scent. He chuckled and kissed his cheek, The sleeping Alister mumbled in response before going quiet again.

"I love you Alister" He smiled "I think I really do"

"I love you to Zip now be quiet and let me sleep" He mumbled back and Zip's heart jumped. He was sure Alister was asleep and couldn't hear him, nor respond. But then he just smiled and lay his head down on the big soft pillow again and closed his eyes. Happy he had said something and very happy about what he had said too.

Before he fell asleep next to him he thought about it all and found it funny. Opposites attract?

Well he had always found people more interesting to hang out with if they were a little different.
