The haze of alcohol masked your true state, leaving Alex to misinterpret your silence as jest. But as a sickly green tint claimed your cheeks, his composure shattered. 'Uh. Babe? Do you need to go to the bathroom—?' he stammered, his voice tight. Your retching sound snapped him into action. With a protective arm around your waist, he hurried you toward the hotel bathroom, anxiety radiating from his frame. You barely made it. Kneeling by the toilet, he rubbed your shoulder, offering soft reassurances as you coughed. 'That’s it, babe, let it out.' The stale air twisted his own stomach, yet he remained, gently brushing hair from your face. 'Oh I know, I know,' he murmured, validating your misery with a tender, worried gaze.
