Benton slowly unlocked the door, praying the house was still in one piece. To be fair, he should have more faith in Jonny and Race's ability to spend one night home alone without tearing the house apart, but those two had a knack for getting into trouble. The door swung open quietly, revealing the dark front hall. The scientist slipped inside, shutting the door behind him. Letting out a sigh, he leaned back against the door.
He enjoyed scientific meetings and discussing theories, but he didn't like being kept out so late. He frowned when he made out the murmur of the TV in the living room. It was one in the morning, who would be up watching cartoons? Pushing off the door he walked into the living room, his frown turning into a smile at the sight before him.
Race was lying on the couch with Jonny lying on his chest, both the body-guard and the six-year-old were asleep. Oblivious to the fact the TV was still on and playing re-runs of Tom and Jerry. Shaking his head Benton left the room, retrieving a blanket from the hall closet before returning. He carefully draped it over the two, feeling proud of himself when Race didn't wake.
Benton turned the TV off then slipped out of the room. Completely unaware slightly open ice blue eyes had been watching him since the moment he'd stepped into the room. Race's eyes slid shut as he finally allowed himself to go to sleep.
