Avi lets go of a heavy breath as he finally lies down in bed.

It had been a very long and tiring day. His mind jumping from the tornado to Adam, to his destroyed apartment,  to Adam, to his 'so-called' friends, to Adam.............

His mind starts to drift off as his eyes close in sleep.

He was so exhausted that he never bothered to pull up the covers. 

A light breeze blowing through the window causes him to shiver. He gets up and stumbles over to the window and closes it.

Shivering, he crawls back into bed and snuggles underneath the blankets.

Suddenly his eyes pop open as he sees something furry sitting on his bed.

He screams and falls out of the bed with a huge thump.

"What the hell was that?" Tim asks, sitting up and looking up at the ceiling.

"Sounded like the ceiling is falling in." Chris says as he throws the blankets back and climbs quickly out of bed.

"Did that come from Avi's room? His room is right above ours'." Tim says as he keeps his eyes on the ceiling.

"I'll go check. Baby, you go on back to sleep." Chris says as he slips on some jogging pants.

As Chris reaches the top of the stairs, he sees everyone coming out of their bedrooms. 

Adam was knocking on Avi's door.

"Avi? Are you alright?" Adam asks through the door.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!" He screams.

Adam glances quickly at the others before opening the door and turning on the lights.

Avi had scooted away from the bed and was pointing toward the bed.

Everyone turns their attention to the bed. There on Avi's bed sat Mr. Biggles.

"AUSTIN!!" Chris yells.

"WHAT!!??" Austin yells back as he walks up the hall, rubbing his eyes. "Why are you yelling?"

"What the hell is Mr. Biggles doing in Avi's room?" Chris asks.

"Well, this was Avi's first night and I thought he might get scared." Austin says innocently with a shrug. "So I thought he wouldn't get scared if Mr. Biggles slept in here with him."

Avi chuckles as he runs a hand through his hair.

"The window was open and I thought a freaking raccoon had come into my room." Avi laughs as Adam helps him from the floor.

Chance walks over and grabs up Mr. Biggles and hands him back to Austin.

"We have already told you that Biggles stays in your room." Chance says.

"No harm done." Avi says. "It just kinda startled me."

"He can stay if you want?" Austin asks politely.

"Uh, No." Avi answers quickly. "He can go back to your room. But thanks for the gesture." 

"Are you alright? That was an awfully loud fall." Adam says as rubs Avi on the arm.

"Tim and I thought our ceiling was falling in." Chris laughs.

"Yea, I'm fine and sorry about that." Avi chuckles as he straightens his blankets. "Guess I was closer to the edge than I thought."

"Well, I'm going back to bed." Chance says as he scratches his beard. "Maybe I can continue my dream with J-Lo."

"You wish." Rob chuckles as he puts an arm around Chance's shoulder and one around Austin's as they leave the room.

Adam waits quietly until everyone leaves, going back to their own room.

"Good night, Avi." Adam says softly as he leans in and kisses the bearded man on his cheek. "See you in the morning."

He smiles shyly and heads to the door leaving a shocked Avi standing with his hand on his cheek.

"Uh, good night, Adam." Avi smiles.

~~~

The next morning the smell of coffee makes it's way to Avi's nose.

He opens one eye to make sure Mr. Biggles hasn't made his way back into his room.

He chuckles quietly to himself as thoughts of last night replays in his mind. He slowly raises his hand and touches his cheek.

He gets up, takes a quick shower, gets dressed and heads downstairs.

Avi walks into the kitchen to find Adam sitting quietly at the table while Chris rushes around to fix breakfast.

"Good morning." Avi says to the two men.

"Morning. How was your sleep?" Chris says, glancing over his shoulder.

"It was great after I got the vision of the rabid raccoon out of my head." Avi laughs. "Do you need any help?" 

"Oh, no. I have this but you guys could get Tim up for me if you don't mind?" Chris asks.

"Sure, we don't mind." Adam smiles as he stands up from the table and motions for Avi to follow him.

"Adam? Don't forget the brakes on his chair are broken so one of you will have to hold the chair." Chris calls to him, receiving a thumbs up from Adam.

They walk to the back bedroom and Adam quietly opens the door. Tim was laying on his side with his back to them.

"Timmy? You awake?" Adam asks softly.

"Yea, I'm awake." Tim says looking over his shoulder at them.

"You ready to get up?" Avi asks.

"Yea. Where's Chris?" Tim asks as he pushes himself up into a sitting position.

"He's fixing breakfast. He sent us in here to get you." Adam says as he pushes the chair closer to the bed.

Tim nods. "Can you get me some clothes?" He asks as he takes his legs and pulls them off the bed so he was now sitting on the side of the bed.

Adam goes to the closet and grabs a pair of jeans and a tee shirt.

Avi watches as the two work together.

Adam did not once try to do everything for Tim. He helped only when Tim needed it.

"Alright. I guess I'm ready." Tim says as he ran his hands through his hair smoothing it down.

"Avi? Can you hold the chair still?" Adam says as he raises the foot pedals.

"Yea, the brakes are worn out. It rolled out from under me and Chris the other day and we both ended up on the floor." Tim smiles.

Tim reaches up and wraps his arms around Adam's neck. Adam wraps his arms around Tim.

"Ready?" Adam asks and with a nod from Tim, he picks him up from the bed and sits him down in the wheelchair.

Tim holds his legs up while Avi lowers the foot pedals.

"So this is my morning routine." Tim says as he pulls down the back of his tee shirt.

"You two work well together." Avi smiles.

"Well, this ain't our first time in doing this, is it, Tim." Adam says as he smiles down at Tim.

"Definitely not. If it weren't for Adam and Chris, I would probably be bedridden." Tim says as he gets comfortable in his chair. "I mean, Chance and Rob helps when they're here. But Austin ain't gonna help me do sh*t."

"You may not have noticed yet, Avi." Adam says as he rubs Tim on the shoulder. "But Austin doesn't like me and Timmy very well."

They make their way into the kitchen where Austin was already at the table shoveling food into his mouth.

"There's my Angel." Chris says as he walks up to Tim, giving him a quick but hungry kiss that actually took Tim's breath.

"Wow." Tim mouthed as Chris pulls away.

"Come on, Ya'll. Not at the table." Austin complains.

"Yea, well it's rude to talk with your mouth full too." Tim shoots back as he rolls into his place at the table.

"Are you even taking the time to chew?" Adam asks as he watches Austin shovel fork full after fork full of food into his mouth.

"I'm in a hurry. I have surgery." Austin says, cramming a piece of bacon into his mouth.

"You're having surgery?" Avi asks with raised brows.

"No not me. Mr. Biggles. He's getting his new eyes today." Austin smirks.
