At the apartment Nat tried to have Alex sit down so he could look at the cut on his leg. But Alex was too hyped to let him.
"Come on Alex, can you sit still for five minutes," Nat said frustrated.
"I thought you wanteded me to burn of energy." Alex answered quickly.
Nat shot his brother and dark look and Alex backed down.
"What did you do?" Nat asked looking at the wound, it was pretty deep and bleeding a lot, but didn't look serious and Alex didn't seem to be feeling it.
"I felt something when I jumpeded off the table, maybe I landeded on a knife or something," Alex said looking at it with interest.
Nat moved to get some dressing to wrap around it.
"Hey, I bet I could stick my whole hand in there." Alex said excitedly leaning further forward to try.
"Alex No!" Nat yelled, but Rosalina got in first and grabbed Alex's hand.
"What?" Alex asked innocently.
Thomas, David and Qassim were laughing quietly in the corner, they should have Alex drink coffee more often.
Rosalina kept a sharp eye on Alex making sure he didn't do anything stupid.
Nat come back and started to fix Alex's leg. Alex winced as Nat put some cleaning alcohol on it, before Nat started to put the dressing on the cut.
"Alex you know how I did that thing to you?" Nat asked.
Alex suddenly became hardened and serious.
"Yeah," He said gruffly.
Nat was a bit surprised at the sudden emergence of serious Alex.
"Can you forgive me for that?" Nat asked cautiously.
"No, not now I can't" Alex said, he knew Nat was frustrated when he bound and gagged Alex so he could get some sleep, but Alex didn't feel ready to forgive Nat just yet.
"Why?" Nat asked a little hurt.
"What you did to me, was cruel scary and degrading. After all that I went through, I never though my own brother would do that to me." Alex said.
"Just a question Alex," Rosalina said quietly, "What does your councillor think?"
"He says that when I am ready I should forgive Nat," Alex said seriously, "I'm not ready, I don't know when I will be. I accepted your apology, I can not forgive you for this, not now anyway."
"Ok Alex, just let me know when you are ready," Nat said as he finished wrapping Alex's leg.
Alex could tell Nat was upset, but Alex knew he would forgive Nat, eventually.
"Hey Alex, don't you think you should get ready, the awards ceremony is in two and half hours." Jessie said to Alex.
"Holy fish cake waffles," Alex shouted and jumped to his feet and ran off to get ready.
"If anyone want's a hot shower, they better get in before Alex," Nat said laughing to suppress his true feelings.
