I winced in sarcasm. /Damn/ That looked like it hurt. I made my way towards him. "Serves you right!"

2015-06-26 08:23:46

🌀

I groaned and sat up, blinking back tears from the pain. "I'm going to fucking kill you." I reached up to wipe away the tears, but the blurriness remained. Oh bloody fucking hell, not now, I don't need reality barging in on my vengeance!

2015-06-26 08:26:41

●

I watched him fade. FUCKING DAMMIT.

🌀

I woke curled into a ball under my blanket on the floor. I didn't feel crappy or sick...well, aside from the bruises. Maybe Terezi was wrong and Raphael didn't spread anything. Maybe he just bit her thinking no one was home and guessed wrong. Maybe everything will be okay.

Maybe not.

Anndrea stirred in her sleep, and slowly opened her eyes. She yawned and stretched, and then noticed Seculus on the floor. "Oh." She leaned over and looked down. "Good morning."

2015-06-26 08:41:14

🌀

Oh. She was awake. I brushed my hair out of my face and looked at her, about to reply with the same. Then I realized that this could well be my last 'good morning' with her before I lost it. Ever. Oh God. I couldn't help it. It hurt too much. Instead of responding I broke down crying. Not wanting her to notice, I rolled over to face away from her and tried to muffle my choked sobs.

2015-06-26 08:45:12

●

Anndrea's expression turned to a more confused one. She sliid off the bed and onto the floor. "What is wrong?" She asked.

2015-06-26 08:47:13

🌀

"N-nothing, nothing, please just..." Don't go anywhere, please don't go. I didn't look at her, I couldn't stand to.

2015-06-26 08:51:09

●

She gently pulled him into her embrace. "It is alright. You are okay." She hummed softly as she rocked back and fourth.

2015-06-26 08:55:24

🌀

It's not, I'm not, not at all. But I didn't tell her that. I'd promised Terezi, and I didn't want to hurt her. I would enjoy this, though, and cherish her, while I still could. I hugged her back and listened to her humming, closing my eyes and trying to stop crying.

2015-06-26 09:04:11

●

She held him tightly in her embrace. "Whatever it is, you can tell me." She reminded him.

2015-06-26 09:05:24

🌀

"....I c-can't. I'm sorry, but I promised." More than anything I wanted to break that promise, but I refused to do that to either of them.

2015-06-26 09:07:36

●

He promised? Who? And why? Terezi? Maybe. "Hmmmm, okay." She looked down at him. "Just do not think you have to go through it alone. Alright?"

2015-06-26 09:09:32

🌀

Oh God. Stop. Please. "..............alr-right."

2015-06-26 09:11:05

●

Of course Andrea would leave it. She had no reason to worry, right? Right. Everything was going to be fine. The four of them would move past it like nothing happen. Which, is exactly what they were doing. The four of them were all sat on the couch, watching a movie.

Suddenly, Terezi exhaled. "Is it warm in here?" She asked.

2015-06-26 09:17:32

🌀

I fidgeted and rolled my sleeves up. "...yes. Is the heating broken?" Darling gave her a weird look. What was--? Oh, right, she'd told him she couldn't feel temperatures except under the sun. Wait. Did that mean...?

2015-06-26 09:20:09

●

Anndrea had the same confused look as Tassek. "Terezi... are you okay?"

Terezi nodded. "Just a bit hot." She pulled off her hoodie, revealing her t-shirt underneath.

2015-06-26 09:23:07

🌀

I was sweating slightly, both from anxiety and the heat. In the middle of winter. I didn't want to take off my sweater so I rolled the sleeves up further, revealing a bruise on my arm from last night and the scars on my wrists. I placed a hand over the bruise absently. This was just the heater acting up. Right?

2015-06-26 09:32:05

●

Anndrea furrowed her eyebrows and placed the back of hand on Terezi's forehead. "You are...really warm..."

2015-06-26 09:33:20

🌀

Shit. It wasn't. There went any remaining glimmer of hope I once had. I rolled my sleeves back down, despite the discomfort. If it was just her, maybe they'd dismiss it. Darling sat up and looked at her. "Wait, what? You didn't go outside, did you?"

2015-06-26 09:35:38

●

She shook her head. "No. I didn't. Currently I'm not asking for a death wish." Which would be better? Death by sunlight or this? She wasn't sure.

"...Maybe it is stress...?"

2015-06-26 09:40:40

🌀

"...probably. With everything, it would make sense..." I mumbled. He gave both of us a look, obviously suspicious.

2015-06-26 09:42:37

●

"Maybe. It's a possibility. "

"Then you should lay down." She turned to Seculus, feeling his forehead as well. "You have it too." Anndrea frowned.

2015-06-26 09:46:28

🌀

I shook my head. "I'm fine. Really. Neither of us 'have' anything." God that almost caused physical pain.

2015-06-26 09:50:27

●

"It's probably just stress, nothing too big. However you two too should probably lie down."

Honestly, that sounded great to Terezi right now. She was /exhausted./
