"Yeah, I feel like shit too." Terezi chuckled before breaking into a coughing fit.

He straightened up and went over, checking her temperature. "No kidding, you still have a fever. And now you're coughing? What's going on?" He looked at me when he asked this and I hurriedly shrugged.

2015-06-27 06:57:52

●

"No idea." A fucking huge ass lie. "If I knew I would of told you." She frowned.

2015-06-27 07:01:45

🌀

He narrowed his eyes. At me. Honestly, does he think I did something to her? ...he does. I sighed. "Neither of us have a clue why we're sick or what's going on, alright?" I wasn't sure if he believed me or not, but in any case he looked away. "If you think of anything, be sure to do that. Tell me, I mean."

2015-06-27 07:04:51

●

"Of course I would. Why would I lie to you?"

2015-06-27 07:13:47

🌀

He sighed. "Because you haven't really been upfront about a lot of things, and...I wish you'd just trust me enough to tell me."

2015-06-27 07:15:03

●

"I do trust you. I /do/. Really."

2015-06-27 07:17:21

🌀

"And I would love to trust you just as much. But I never know when you're hiding something important."

2015-06-27 07:18:36

●

"I only do it because I don't want to worry you." She frowned before sneezing.

2015-06-27 07:26:15

🌀

"It's better for me to worry and be able to help than be surprised once there's nothing I can do." He reached over and grabbed a tissue, handing it to her.

2015-06-27 07:27:17

●

"Thanks." She blew her nose. Oh God, now she was acting human. "Yes but what if it's better for everyone that you don't know?"

2015-06-27 07:32:25

🌀

"In this kind of situation, secrets are never okay. We need to be open with each other."

2015-06-27 07:33:36

●

"I /am/ being open with you."

2015-06-27 07:40:22

🌀

This was genuinely painful to watch. He seemed to give up, and with a sigh, he went back to his room to get dressed. I glanced at her silently. Her reasoning for this particular lie made sense, but they seriously needed to sort their shit out. I knew better than trying to help with /that/ again though.

2015-06-27 07:42:42

●

Once he left, she just sighed and ran a hand through her hair. Man, she really hated lying to him, and she hated hiding things from him even more, but what choice did she have? Confess everything? No. Never.

Tassek and Anndrea went into Walgreen's for the second time in the last few days. At this rate they were going to become regular customers. But on the off chance it was just some sort of messed-up, vampire-contagious cold, they needed to buy medicine. Zane was currently out of sight, putting away colorful plastic shampoo bottles.

2015-06-27 07:58:14

●

Anndrea followed in behind Tassek. "Are you sure we should of left them alone?" The taller woman asked as her eyes gazed the many displays. Cold medicine. What would be good cold medicine for this?

2015-06-27 08:03:13

🌀

"What are they gonna do, fall onto a knife? We won't be gone long." Zicam maybe? That stuff was pretty dependable.

2015-06-27 08:08:46

●

"No, but they are both really sick. What if one of them starts getting dehydrated?" what /exactly/ were they getting anyway?

2015-06-27 08:14:05

🌀

"Terezi doesn't need water, I think, and Seculus isn't stupid enough to go without water that long." He would've said 'even Seculus', but this was Anndrea, and that would earn him a telling off. So no.

2015-06-27 08:15:27

●

"But she does need blood. Speaking of which, when was the last time she fed?"

2015-06-27 08:16:03

🌀

He went silent, thinking about it. "...uh. Well. She fed off me early last week..."

2015-06-27 08:17:05

●

Well she hasn't gone outside lately, or fed of Seculus. "So a week ago?"

2015-06-27 08:17:55

🌀

"Yeah, about." He glanced around nervously for any eavesdropping customers and was relieved to find them alone.

2015-06-27 08:19:35

●

Of course, Tassek had to be proven wrong, because the doors moved open, and a familiar ebony haired woman walked into the store.

"That is...okay, for now. I guess."
