Noah had left them with the promise of taking care of their travel arrangements since it'd be almost impossible for them to travel normally without being seen. He's not sure where Noah went or how he's taking care of anything, but it meant one less person in his flat and one less person as a barrier between he and Alex.It was easy to ignore Alex for several hours. Even if he thinks Alex is right about this being his fault, Alex was wrong to question his love for Aubrey and he's hurt and pissed off and doesn't want to see Alex at all. It was easy until Freddie decided he needed to sleep and Joseph fucked off to wherever for a reason he wouldn't share with them. So now he's alone with Alex – unless you count Dog snoring in the corner, then they aren't alone.

He's trying to read over all the information they have so far to see if he can find something they're missing – a connection or something that would help them get Aubrey back quicker. He's also hoping he can come up with a plan, but he's not having much luck there. He's not having much luck at all really, mostly because Alex won't stop fucking looking at him.

There's this thing Alex does when he knows he was wrong and that Chris is legitimately upset with him or the situation – sometimes both, but that's rare, except now is one of those times – but there's this thing he does where he just sits in the room, on the opposite side, and stares at Chris with wide, apologetic eyes. He does it because Chris is notorious for ignoring Alex for as long as he possibly can when he's upset and angry and he knows that Chris will eventually get fed up with the silent staring and call him out for it, which accomplishes either another argument or a reconciliation. Chris doesn't want either right now.

It's not really the staring that annoys him because Alex does a lot of staring even when they aren't fighting. It's the fact that Alex can't just come up to him and say “Sorry, I fucked up and I will do whatever it takes to make it up to you,” choosing instead to stay silent because he's a stubborn fuck. (Like Chris has room to talk, but Alex pisses him off more than their friends seem to think. Chris has a right to be stubborn sometimes.) Of course, this situation is quite a bit different than their previous fights.

This is essentially his fault, he knows that and he agrees with Alex calling him out on it, but Alex knew the risks and agreed to this all the same. Alex has a right to be upset and the situation is making them both think, say and do things they normally wouldn't, but that doesn't give Alex the right to full on blame him. He blames himself fully, however, Alex shouldn't. Still, it's not even what he's most upset about.
