Once the elf disappeared into the bathroom he left the room, heading towards the dryer. To be kind he turned the dryer on to heat the towels. Gale leaned on the machine as he waited. Maybe if he took his time he would catch the elf at the end of his shower. That would be interesting. Though the beeping of the machine made him sigh. He took the towel out folding it some as he made his way to the bedroom again. He opened the door and I owed on the bathroom door. "I got your towel. It's even warm..."

Alec happily soaked in the hot shower for awhile and even used the human's care products. He was reluctant to get out, but the water was starting to become cold. He turned off the water, climbed out, and was about to open the door to call out to Gale when there was a knock. He quickly opened the door and stuck his still soaking wet arm out to take it. "Thank you," he called through the door as he did this.

He couldn't help but smirk as the door opened. It took all his will power not to open the door and join the elf though instead he handed over one of the warm towel. "Hope you saved some hot water for me." He teased turning his back to the door. This was getting him excited...which wasn't good. What if the elf saw him? Hurriedly he gather some fresh clothes from his closet, holding them before him to hide himself. 'Just hurry up...' he found himself saying.

Alec quickly grabbed the towel, starting to blush as he remembered that he was nude in the other's house. He was quick to dry off and change, quickly pushing out of the bathroom. "I think I might've taken all the hot water," he said softly. "Sorry." He ran his fingers through his long hair to try and comb it out. "Do you have a comb?" He asked quickly before Gale could vanish into the bathroom.

Asthe door opened he quickly pushed pass. "Here." He said holding the brush out of the cracked door. Once it was taken he quickly stripped, showering in the rather cold water. In truth he was upset with himself. He had let his thoughts get away from him. How would he have explained that? 'Oh I'm sorry the thought of you being in the nude got me excited.' You couldn't do that! As he got clean though he turned the water off. At least that had helped some. Sighing he redressed, taking a moment to clean up his beard with a razor before exiting the room again.

Alec took the brush and sat on the bed to brush his hair. He took a deep breath as he tried to locate his hair tie. It must've been left in the bathroom. He laidback on the bed, hair spread out underneath him as he started up at the ceiling. His thoughts were spinning and it was making him kind of dizzy. He couldn't get them sorted. He wished he was better at this stuff so he could be at ease. He didn't notice Gale exit the bathroom, still staring at the ceiling.

"Comfy?" He asked with a smile after taking a moment to look at the elf. "I'll have to say those clothes suit you well." Least now someone could use them. "I was thinking maybe we could go out for dinner, and maybe some coffee. It is the holidays and I know this family owned restaurant with some of the best pumpkin pie around."

Alec propped himself up on his elbows so he could look at Gale. "I'm fine with anything, really. I do remember a family restaurant from the last time I was here.... What was it called again?" He asked as he looked at his human companion, a slight tilt to his head. He slid off the bed to look for his hair tie. "Have you seen my hair tie?" He asked after a few minutes of searching.

"Mikey's, they named it after their son when he died." Gale said before taking the hair thing off his arm. "You left it in the shower." With that he handed it over to the elf. He felt awkward...after all he had just gotten excited over the thought of seeing the elf naked. Now here they were in his bedroom! And he didn't feel like confessing either, but Alec needed to know. Just not now.

Alec nodded in response. "It's been around a little while if I remember correctly," he said before thanking Gale for his hair tie. He put it around his own wrist as he started gathering up his long locks of hair in a bundle behind his head. His eyes traveled back to Gale and looked him up and down, his mind getting distracted by how well built the man was, and how he looked good with his newly shaven facial hair. "How'd you lose your eye?" He blurted out as his eyes landed on the eye patch, his actions of putting his hair up momentarily on pause.
