Hours later, Lex woke up slowly. He laid there for a long time, just registering everything in his head. The last thing he really remembered was walking to Anatoly hut and just becoming so overcome with cold that he couldn't move. He vaguely remembered Anatoly's voice.
Now, he knew he was somewhere warm. But while warm, he still felt an overall ache in his body, especially in his lungs, throat, limbs and nose. He hadn't felt this downright sick since...before the meteor shower. He knew was inside, undercovers and most importantly, there was someone laying next to him.
Finally, he opened his eyes and looked into the sleeping face of Anatoly. He couldn't help thinking back to another time he'd opened his eyes into the face of someone who'd saved his life in the face of his own idiocy. And just like that last time...he felt a connection. A deep one. All the testing and touches, they led up to this moment of clarity.
Struggling with the blankets for a moment, Lex slowly brought his hand up and lightly brushed the curls out of Anatoly's face with a small smile on his chapped lips.
