Who: Hugh and Sid
Where: Common room
When: 15th March

It was getting late and Hugh had felt the need for some time alone before retiring for the night. The common room was often deserted at that time of day so he had assumed that it would be a safe bet. Going in to see that the television was still on gave him pause. At first he wondered if someone had left it on after leaving but as he watched the static on the screen he had a creeping doubt settle in.

He approached the sofa, his footsteps seemed unusually loud in the quiet room. Once he was close enough he lent his arms on the back of the sofa and looked down. Right enough there he was. A small sigh escaped his lips as he watched the rise and fall of the Engineers chest. If it had been a few months ago he might have woken him up, told him that he should be a bit more careful and try to sleep in his own bed. In stead he took a step back and  looked around the rest of the room. On the back of a chair where it had been last time was the blanket.

It took so little time, to retrieve the blanket and once again use it to cover the other man. He supposed that after that he would turn off the television again and be on his way. There would be none of the quiet time he wanted.
