"That and the fact that Louhkie's still a douche."

"Ha! You got that right. Fuck him, anyway. He's not our problem to deal with anymore."

2015-05-22 07:59:10

🌀

"Nope. Now he's Spyders'."

2015-05-22 08:00:20

●

"Seriously? Ha. Perfect." She rested her head on his shoulder.

"It's like they were made for each other. The Ultimate Douche Duo." They got to his building and went inside out of the rain. The landlord here didn't even come out, much less cheerfully greet every resident as they arrived. That was one thing he'd miss, he guessed.

2015-05-22 08:04:25

●

Thank goodness for no landlord. No questions were asked. They stepped inside. A small smile was on Terezi's face. Maybe things would be okay?

2015-05-22 08:06:20

🌀

Yeah, everyone was still here. Did they /ever/ get bored? At least they'd stopped playing spin the bottle, thank God. Now they were just sort of milling around, talking. Evidently Seculus wasn't forward enough to just make them leave. They turned and looked at the two as soon as they walked through the door. Ren and Louhkie at least seemed to be doing it to purposely creep them out, but Cale looked concerned. "You okay now, 'rezi?"

2015-05-22 08:10:25

●

Slowly, she nodded. "Yeah...I'm fine now." More than fine.

2015-05-22 08:15:15

🌀

Ren cocked their head for a moment, then nodded and moved past them towards the door. "We should really be leaving you two, or four, or five maybe, alone, theeen." Louhkie shrugged and followed. "FINE BY ME. LET'S DITCH THIS POPSTAND." "You doooo realize how stupid you sound, right?" "FUCK YOU I'M AWESOME." Ren gestured for Dameien and the others and those two disappeared. Cale didn't move.

2015-05-22 08:19:10

●

Dameien, Eilliot, and Spyders stood up. One after another. Like little ducklings in a line, they followed Louhkie and Ren out the door.

2015-05-22 08:21:11

🌀

Once they were gone, Cale went up to Terezi and hugged her, even more carefully than he had before. "....'rezi. I really am sorry. For everything. I decided I'm happy for you two, so, I'll...I'll stop." It truly looked like the last thing he wanted to do, but it would make her happy, and his old Terezi was gone anyways.

2015-05-22 08:24:16

●

Slowly, she hugged him back. "It's fine. Honestly, I forgave you maybe two weeks after I left. It was...really stupid, on both sides. So I'm sorry too."

2015-05-22 08:26:02

🌀

....really? "You don't have to apologize to me. I was an idiot." He closed his eyes and enjoyed the hug for as long as he could stand before letting go. At that moment, there was a weak pounding on the door and he stared at it.

2015-05-22 08:28:07

●

"No,no. It's fine." Once he let go of her, she did as well. She then turned to the door. Now who could that be?

2015-05-22 08:29:31

🌀

Tassek curiously opened it to find a deathly pale Zane, panting, who had been leaning on the door and stumbled forward into the room when it swung inwards. He caught himself on Tassek with a mumbled apology and smiled brightly but weakly at the sight of Cale and Terezi. "Cale is...Terezi, you are...you are b-back!" With some effort and a wince he straightened, took a step towards her, and hugged her. While it would have been a bear hug by anyone's standards, it seemed too limp for him.

2015-05-22 08:34:32

●

Woah, Zane? He looked about as bad as she did when she first showed up. He then pulled her into a giant huge. Ahhhhhh. A soft groan. Nowhere as bad as it was this morning, but still a groan. And here she thought one little meal would fix her up for good. "Yeah, I'm back."

2015-05-22 08:37:53

🌀

Cale was about to pull Zane off her when she didn't yell in pain like she had before. What? ...she must have fed. Good for her, but....

....what were those on the kid's--? Aw fuck no. Well. He'd be looking into this, but right now he had more serious problems. "You are alright, where have you been, we were all so worried about you..." He let go and took her by the shoulders, pushing himself back to look her over. "You are bleeding! Excessively! You....should...." Then his hands slipped off her shoulders, his eyes rolled back in his head, and he fell to the ground with a heavy thud. Tassek gaped for a second before checking his pulse. "Holy shit, what?!" Oh, crap. He hadn't fed recently enough. They'd both been too focused on finding Terezi. Cale went pale as well, as much as he could with his tan skin, and knelt by Zane, pushing back his messy white-blonde hair. "Fuck, Zane, stay with me buddy."

2015-05-22 08:45:41

●

Terezi took a step back to let Cale take over. Shit. What the hell just happened. "The hell?" Well hmm, someone had explaining to do.

2015-05-22 08:49:18

🌀

Explanations could wait. He pulled aside the bandages on Zane's neck and bit as gently and swiftly as he could manage. As he drank a bit of color came back to the other man's cheeks and his short and labored breaths grew more steady.

2015-05-22 08:51:52

●

She watched as Cale pulled the bandages off and bit Zane. She cleared her throat and looked away. Yeah...best not ask too many questions.

2015-05-22 08:54:00

🌀

When he was done he pulled a handkerchief out of Zane's pocket and held it to the freshly reopened bite marks, wiping his mouth on his sleeve absently in sheer relief. Zane opened his eyes halfway and murmured something incomprehensible, probably an apology on behalf of Cale, before passing out again. "...okay. It's okay. He's okay," Cale said to himself, rubbing his temples and taking a shuddering breath, recovering from the panic.

2015-05-22 08:58:12

●

Terezi shoved her hands into her pockets. So this is what it was like on the other end of this. It was...slightly uncomfortable to watch. Maybe if she hadn't been through what she just had been she wouldn't care.

2015-05-22 09:00:15

🌀

He glanced at her. She looked horribly uncomfortable. Right, she had no idea what was going on. Maybe she thought it was withdrawal or something. /Now/ he could explain. "Sorry, about...about that. You never got the context of the whole thing, did you?"

2015-05-22 09:02:27

●

"Uhm, I can't say I have." She moved a piece of hair out of her face.

2015-05-22 09:03:22

🌀

"I guess you never liked the idea of me only feeding on him. Can't say I blame you. But I have to. It keeps him alive." He brushed a bit of hair out of Zane's face as well.
