I listened for the still-running shower. "As long as you finish coming over as well, and not in the next ten minutes, I don't see why not. Ah, wait, are you a vampire also?"

I laughed. "Nah, but I've been inside the mind of one before." Before he could ask to explain, I hung up. I grabbed my house keys and a jacket. It wasn't exactly a good day to wear only a wife-beating and I didn't feel like changing, I grabbed my house keys and exited my condo. Yeah, that's right, two floors baby.

My eyes widened. "Wait, are you--" but the dial tone played and I jumped a little. I stared at the phone for a minute before carefully setting it back on the charger. It couldn't be. Another one? Another /human/ one?

I made my way to Terezi's house. I didn't have to use a computer to get that address, it was at one point the only thing engraved into Spyders mind. As I made my way to the door though, that thought in the back of my mind grew. Was there another angel staying in this building? I knocked on the door.

No. That was silly. He was probably joking. Or was a psychologist who used a lot of metaphors. That nagging feeling was getting stronger, though, slowly convincing me that I was in denial. I fell back onto the couch and let out a breath, rubbing the back of my neck. Calm down, Seculus. It's probably nothing.

Then there was a knock and I raised my head. That was quick. Terezi was still in the shower, maybe I shouldn't...no. I had to know. I got to my feet and opened the door, blinking in surprise at the blonde boy. Yes, he definitely looked more the part than I.

I blinked at the other male. He was one too. "Well." I spoke after a few moments of silence. "This is one hell of a surprise." I stopped clicking the pen I had in my jacket pocket. Well then. Looks like we both have some explaining to do.

2015-05-07 01:29:28

🌀

"...yes, that's one way of putting it." So that settled it. There was another one wandering about besides me. If that was true, why not more? I wasn't sure if that thought was comforting or vaguely unsettling.

2015-05-07 03:49:49

●

"And who might you belong too, because last time I saw Anndrea, she was not a male." I was half joking, of course.

2015-05-07 03:52:40

🌀

"You would be correct in that assumption." I should hope not. "Terezi's boyfriend, also known as Tassek Paxaro. Your other one's neighbor." That brought something else to mind. Eilliot was friends with his other one? The prospect seemed so very wrong.

2015-05-07 03:55:58

●

"Ahhh, I see. The codes coming together now." I removed my hands from my pocket and popped each and every one of my knuckles."Though I prefer much more quiet places than he does. Trust me, he can be a bit loud sometimes...with everything." Yeah, I've seen and heard things I shouldn't have from him.

2015-05-07 04:01:29

🌀

Code? Everything? No, wait, I don't want to know. "As can mine, though probably for different reasons. He has been abnormally quiet as of late, however. I'm almost concerned."

As if summoned, the blonde person from next door popped their head out of their apartment. Their hair was ruffled and it looked as if they'd only just woken up. When they saw the two of us, they laughed.

2015-05-07 04:06:42

●

"Man, lets trade places for a while. I can't seem to get him off me."

I then saw the neighbor come out, and raised an eyebrow. The hell is there problem?

2015-05-07 04:14:47

🌀

They drummed their fingers on the door, gave us a weird smile, and disappeared back into the apartment without a word. I shivered. "That was...interesting."

2015-05-07 04:17:32

●

I turned over to the other angel. "Yes. It was. Remind me to do a background check on them later." I spoke up, giving one more glance at the other's door.

2015-05-07 04:21:36

🌀

"Creepy doesn't necessarily mean criminally insane." Except, perhaps, in this case. "I'll remind you if you wish, though."

2015-05-07 04:24:56

●

"But it does mean someone to watch out for." I pointed out. I looked over Seculus's shoulder, and saw Terezi standing in the middle of the hallway, fully dressed and hair rapped into a towel. Oh boy here comes the-

"Eille?" Her voice seemed a bit too calm to be her Anndrea? Holy shit. /Holy shit./ Did she realize how dangerous that was?

2015-05-07 04:27:13

🌀

I turned at the voice and smiled. "Oh, hello again." What was that nickname for him, though? Wait, did she know him? I felt my smile fade a bit.

2015-05-07 04:30:35

●

She came forward, her gaze not leaving mine. "I didn't think I'd ever see you again..." Her voice trailed off. "How did you...?"

I exhaled. "It's a long story, Anndrea."

2015-05-07 04:34:53

🌀

It disappeared entirely. Were they...? I crossed my arms and watched them, growing slightly more depressed every second they stared into each others' eyes.

2015-05-07 04:37:56

●

"Well don't just stand there." She took my hand and pulled me into the home. Damn, I almost forgot how strong she was. "Come in."

I had to press my palm to the wall to avoid falling over.

2015-05-07 04:41:24

🌀

I slowly closed the door behind them, hair falling over my eyes. Of course. It only made sense, after all. She was beautiful and sweet, naturally she would have attracted someone more worthwhile than myself in the centuries since she'd been on Earth....

2015-05-07 04:47:25

●

"So what have you been doing since you...?"

"Oh, just terminating the newb in the game of world of Warcraft."

She stared at me completely dumbfounded.

"...Nerd things."

"Oh! Okay. Well I've....been here."

"Yes and you know exactly how I feel about that." I frowned.

2015-05-07 04:55:01

🌀

He protected her far better than I did. I had no idea that was bad for her. Plus he was more handsome, less whiny, more humorous...Hell, I think he's even taller than me. Sigh.

2015-05-07 04:57:40

●

"And you know how much I listen to a friend."

"Yeah, never. Anndrea you're going to get hurt one day and I-"

"Shhhh, I will not."

2015-05-07 04:59:50

🌀

I glanced up at the word 'friend'. Not boyfriend, or fiance, or even lover. 'Friend'. Ha. Haha. Not like she probably didn't feel exactly the same way about me. Or that he didn't have two centuries head start at getting her to like him. But still.
