I need a drink!

Arjan wasn\'t certain about this boy.  Sometimes he seemed expressive and interested in things, other times he was very calm about things, as if he couldn\'t care less.  If Arjan wasn\'t watching him closely, he couldn\'t be certain about anything the kid said or did.  He liked seeing the boy relaxed and pleased more then he liked Liam acting as if he were to grown-up for some situations.
 
Once in the room, Arjan had no qualms about stripping off most of his clothes, stopping the boy before he laid down.  "Not with yer clothes on.  Y\'can keep on anerthing that ain\'t covered in dirt an grime, iffen y\'dun\'t have any an y\'want t\'wear clothes, I cin lend ye a pair o\'pants.  Took me years t\'make the feathers in this bed outnumber the straw.   I dun\'t want t\'dirty \'em to much." He explained quickly as he held up a hand to Liam before pointing to his bed, then to his own pants to illustrate what he meant.

Liam stopped when Arjan told him too and gave a small nod. “Aye, alright,” he said, giving a nod at the instruction to take of his dirty clothes. It made sense. Maybe with a warm blanket and a warm body beside him he’d be warm enough anyway without the clothes. The young teen quickly pulled off his think jacket, laying it down near where Arjan had put his, then followed it with his shirt and dusty trousers, leaving himself just in a pair of underwear which looked a bit too big for him and covered down to his knees. They were clean enough, saved from the dust of the streets by his other clothes; like most of his clothes they were ones he’d stolen from his uncle before leaving home.

He waited patiently to see if Arjan had any other instructions before going to bed, he didn’t want to piss of his new employer too early and he didn’t know whether Arjan would like to be on the outside or inside of the bed.

Arjan didn\'t.  As soon as the men were dressed down, Arjan crawled into the small bed, and scooted over to one side, allowing Liam a place to lay down as well.  Almost as soon as Arjan\'s head hit the bed, he was asleep and breathing deeply.  Clearly, when the man was tired, he had no qualms about sharing his bed with another person.

((Sorry tis short, shall we skip to morning, or do you want me to start a new topic when they\'re gathering crap somewhere else?))

((New topic sounds good ))

Liam crawled into the bed next to Arjan, but didn’t fall asleep as quickly, He lay still for a while, watching the other man sleep and wondering if this was actually something he might be able to stick with and if it would get him anywhere. Well, he was off the streets for tonight anyway. The thin boy didn’t take up much room in the bed, but not long after he had dropped off Liam was snuggled up next at Arjan’s side, soaking up his warmth and lying next to him as he had done beside Mia for so many years.
