Okay then. Buffy and Derek really have been exploring the complex at night. Derek and Buffy are not dating or sleeping together or anything like that. Alcide did not sleep with his roommate's girlfriend. This is not as much of a soap opera as Alcide has assumed. Still a soap opera, just... tamer. He can work with that.
Also, maybe Derek really wasn't as put off by him as Alcide assumes he might have been. He can hope that that's the case, anyway. Alcide would like to be on good terms with both roommates. They have to live together, after all.
There's also an ease of the tension that has settled inside of him since waking up this morning. There's no reason for him to have been jealous of Derek and Buffy, even if they were more than friends. And yet... Now that's a non issue.
He looks over to Buffy and stares for a moment. He's having to try really hard not to think about how she looked in white and how she felt when he was inside of her and how the entire world had narrowed down just to the two of them. They were fire hot together. Buffy had wanted Alcide every bit as much as he wanted her. Alcide isn't used to two-way streets as far as the opposite sex goes.
"Look I don't like the way it happened either. But..." He shrugs a bit. "It was good, right? We were good together." He pauses again and then tilts his head. "Are you and me gonna be okay? I'd really prefer to get along with my roommates is all. Right now I know it's awkward but..."
