A/N: Just a sweet little one-shot, sibling Jalex, based after season 1, episode 17- Report Card.
"Justin." Alex rocked his bed with her hands. "Hm…" she heard. "Justin!" she hissed louder, rocking the bed harder. He jumped partially, his startled body crooked. "Wha–?"
She leaned down. "Justin, I can't sleep. Can I… Would you mind if I–"
Justin sighed tiredly and moved over, patting the empty space where he had been lying before. "Get in." Alex smiled a little, sliding under the sheets. "Thanks." Feeling like she should explain, she added, "It's the thunder. I can't block it out cuz dad took my wand."
Justin snorted lightly. "Mine too." Randomly, Alex, with a pang, thought of their little brother. "What about Max? Do you think he's okay?"
Alex showing feelings? Justin laughed a bit, breathy from exhaustion. "He'll come if he wants to. Sleep, okay?"
"Justin," Alex said after a couple of seconds.
"Hm?" he replied sleepily. "Thank you again, for today. The whole Professor Crumbs Guinea pig thing…" Justin let out a stream of unsteady air–another laugh–but didn't say anything. "Justin." He barely made a sound. "I love you," Alex said, in a voice softer than a whisper.
He was asleep. With a sigh, Alex turned, facing away from her brother. A second later, as she was about to fall asleep herself, she heard him murmur, dreaming, "I love you, too." She smiled, drifting into a dream of her own.
