Do I need to punch you

Eli stands as well, a little smile showing again. "Oh, I'm sure we'll see each other." He chuckles quietly. "Besides, you gotta bring your bike to the shop next week."

Ambling over to their bikes, he fishes his keys from his pocket and mounts up. Before starting the engine and putting his helmet on though, he gives Scarlet a last look. He wasn't going to ask her out again yet... No, he was going to wait on this one. It wasn't like him... it wasn't his norm or his style, especially if he'd had a good time. But something was different about this, and his gut told him to play it slow and see what would happen.

Flashing Scarlet a smile, he dons his helmet, his face how hidden. Revving his bike engine, he waits until he sees Scarlet is ready too before leading the way back on the trail and to the highway again. Once they're back in town and must go their separate ways at an intersection, Eli gives Scarlet a salute before turning left to go home...

...The apartment is quiet. It was late, but Eli hadn't expected it to be this quiet yet. Getting inside, he squints in the dark then flips on the light. Spying a little movement on the couch, he leans to the side to see, his eyebrows rising. Now that was something he hadn't expected - his sister and Alec asleep together.

Approaching the couch, he gives Alec's leg a nice jolt with his boot. "Hey. You supposed to be here?"

"Mm-hmm..." Alec mumbles without opening his eyes, lifting his hand to wave before letting it drop back down around Ryan. "I got permission, but you can call me in if you want."

Eli shakes his head. If Alec actually told him he could call, then eh was telling the truth. Ryan certainly didn't seem to mind. "Ait. Do I need to sleep out here to keep an eye on you?"

Alec frowns, his eyes still closed. "Do I need to punch you in the mouth?"

Eli can't help a wry grin. Alec was trustworthy for tonight at least. "Naw. Just behave." He reaches down to tug on Ryan's bare foot. "That goes for you too, Speedy." Moving back to the switch, he turns out the lights again and aims for his bedroom.

Alec nuzzles into Ryan a little more, sighing before drifting off towards sleep once more.
