Axel lay on the bed until the knock to his door came, and the tray with breakfast on it was slid into the room. He got up to grab it with a sigh, wrinkling his nose slightly when he caught the scent of the eggs there. He'd promised Duncan he'd eat though, so he sat down with it and picked at some of the fruit. He didn't get much ...but it was something.

Duncan stayed in until he'd calmed down and then he got out. He undressed and wrapped himself up in towels, hanging his clothes up to dry and waiting for them to do so, still shut in the bathroom.

After Axel had a few bites of fruit, he shoved the plate away with a groan, letting his head fall into the table. He wasn't even sure why he was having such a hard time, but he was, and he was angry at himself about it. He was worried about Duncan too, a little bit.

Duncan stayed in the bathroom, sitting on the tub ledge, twirling his finger through the water in the tub, listening to his clothes drip dry.

Axel just sat at the table until he had to get up, so he moved over to the windowsill to perch there, and lean against the wall with a tired sigh.

Duncan sat for a few more hours, until his clothes were fully dry and he emerged from the bathroom.

Axel hadn't moved from the window sill in those hours. He was looking out the glass, watching people move around. Admittedly, he was just getting bitter and jealous about it though, so eventually he chose to focused on the birds flying past and things like that. When he heard the bathroom door open again though, he glanced over at Duncan and offered him a smile. "Hey," he noted quietly, before looking back out the window.

"...hi" he breathed, flushing pink. he didn't know what to say or do

Axel wasn't too sure what to say or do either, so he just offered a "feel better?" Since he knew Duncan liked the water, he assumed that's why he'd gone to the bathroom for that long.

"Yeah, a little," he trailed off. "I um... I do really want to- um... kiss you, but- but not like that..." he breathed out, face on fire, playing with his hands.
