Many thoughts strung along in Alti's mind as the tears dripped off his chin, from regret from how easily he allowed himself to screw his relationship with Cyrus over so fast to resentment towards the more vulnerable emotions he currently displayed. They were mortifying, almost painful, really; they went against everything he learned, against everything he was, yet they kept flowing. Down his cheeks, off his face, a few of them may have caught themselves on the hand he kept so close to his chest, a unwanted hint of panic prickling the back of his brain. Weak. So very weak. Was that not what it looked like? The stammering, the hot beads rolling down his face, the sobbing-- were those not unwanted? Of course, he meant every word of what he said, but was all this as a physical response truly necessary? Surely, this sensitive side had overstayed its welcome, he thought, his hands still weakly gripping onto his soulmate's hand. He couldn't see well enough through the film of tears obscuring his vision to verify his partner's displeasure, but was mostly convinced at this point that it had to be present. That is, until the hand that was once weakly clasped to his chest found its way up to his face, Alti immediately blinking the pool of tears away as the ones that resided on his cheek were swept away by his soulmate, utterly dumbfounded. "Hey... I believe you," he murmured quietly, still sniffling and glassy-eyed himself. Locking eyes with his partner he pulled him into a hug, leaning his chin on the other's shoulder. "I believe you," he whispered again breathily as if it were another pass at reassuring the both of them, holding him in the embrace for a few quiet moments, his heart still pounding out of his chest. "... I-It'll be alright," he finally uttered. "We'll figure it out one step at a time. I-It's your first time doing... the whole relationship thing yeah?" He wanted to give a hopeful You do? at the scientist's confirmation, the man still too choked up from his recent blubbering to even attempt to mutter the relieving words. But as it would turn out, the gesture wouldn't have been necessary anyway as he was soon thrust into a comforting hug, without warning. His reddened face now darkening, he tightly shut his eyes and buried his chin in the other's shoulder as the scientist tried to reassure him, the man trying to process what just happened to the best of his abilities without the interference of tears. 'It'll be alright'? he questioned to himself. Was this... alright, too? To his surprise, his partner wasn't worn out at all from his actions, this discovery unlocking a feeling that before this moment was utterly foreign to him. It felt... safe. He wasn't sure how. It just did.... and it was nice. His head still resting on the other's shoulder, Alti finally returned the gesture with a similar frenzy in his pulse after a few moments of silence. "Mm-hmm....." he hummed softly, his voice still quaking. "It's.... d-different... from what I t-thought it'd be...." |

Cyrus relaxed into the hug, his face finally beginning to dry as he held Alti close, one of his hands rhythmically stroking the other's erratically heaving and trembling back. A small smile tugged at his lips at his partner's response, the scientist shaking his head a little bit with his cheek squished up against the other man's shoulder. "Different how?" he mused curiously, somewhat muffled from his unmoving position in the embrace. After nearly a decade of being in a relationship, the state of being single was far more uncertain and foreign than the surefire hurdles and stumbling blocks within a relationship. Although being in a relationship with someone with such a different experience like Alti was proving to have a whole host of unexpected quirks of its own. |

Although being in a relationship with someone with such a different experience like Alti was proving to have a whole host of unexpected quirks of its own. Releasing the tension in his body through many labored breaths, and with the aid of the comforting pressure guided from his partner's hand, Alti's breathing slowly began to steady itself. He had closed his eyes after his soulmate had questioned him, the man mulling over his thoughts with slight embarrassment at the words he managed to string together since they were still laced with that weakness he so hated to display as well as the general ignorance he seemed to demonstrate with the most fundamental of human concepts. "I'unno," he sighed, "I guess I thought it'd just be me dragging whoever I'd end up with around and doing whatever I wanted to do --like how I used to do back home with my friends-- but at the end of the day.. we'd say we were a couple." The red on his face didn't even get a chance to fade before the blood started rushing back after that last sentiment. "B-but it's not like that at all!" he stumbled, "There's all these new things I keep learning, and then there's all this change, and... then there's moments like this..." Alti opened his eyes halfway and kept his eyes trained on the sheets beneath them as he gave Cyrus a warm squeeze, a slight grin poking at his damp cheeks as he softly nuzzled the other's shoulder. " I wasn't expecting anything like this....." he purred. |

Alti opened his eyes halfway and kept his eyes trained on the sheets beneath them as he gave Cyrus a warm squeeze, a slight grin poking at his damp cheeks as he softly nuzzled the other's shoulder. "I wasn't expecting anything like this....." he purred. Cyrus blushed warmly and lightly ruffled Alti's hair. "Hell if I'd been someone else that was a little more passive, that might've been how it ended up. But I dunno if that's really a relationship. I guess that's why we haven't been doing half bad, yeah? At least most of the time," he chuckled softly and buried his face into Alti's shoulder. "I-I had no idea what to expect coming into this experiment either, even after years and years of practice," he mused quietly. "But damn I'm glad I showed up." He couldn't deny there were a lot of changes for him too. Compared to his past partners, the spiritual and naive man was almost a complete 180 from the calculating and down-to-earth rationals he'd become so accustomed to. But different wasn't necessarily bad, especially after the low point in his life he was trying to desperately escape. It was refreshing and interesting and always kept him on his toes, not to mention it was so dissonant from the actions of his previous partner that those reminders and flashbacks had become far and few between. Cyrus slowly pulled back from the hug after a few more moments of silence and got a good look at his partner's damp and ruddy face. The two of them were puffy messes, both with strands of hair plastered to different parts of their faces, the scientist pushing some hair out of his own face before unsticking the locks of hair that had adhered themselves to the side of his partner's face. "D-Damn we really let ourselves go, huh," he tried to joke despite the heavy and warm atmosphere, continuing to brush the damp hair off to the side to get a better look at his partner's face. "Getting cleaned up might not be such a bad idea, yeah?" |

"D-Damn we really let ourselves go, huh," he tried to joke despite the heavy and warm atmosphere, continuing to brush the damp hair off to the side to get a better look at his partner's face. "Getting cleaned up might not be such a bad idea, yeah?" Alti smiled warmly at his partner's words, stifling a few happy giggles in case the extra movement could be construed as inappropriate for whatever reason. He didn't know; It was all new. At least the fact-based engineer didn't laugh at his childish attempts at understanding how these types of connections work, and for that he was grateful. The sting in his eyes still lingered some, the flow of tears finally coming to a halt as his mood brightened a tad. Once their consoling embrace came to an end, Alti took another look at his soulmate's puffy under-eyes as he brushed a few stray hairs away from his own face and paused after his joke as he realized too that they both indeed looked pretty awful. It was as if he were expecting more to the scientist's response, as if the giggles themselves were the build-up to some off-handed, climatic verbal strike at his appearance. But as his boyfriend continued to comb the thick locks of hair away from his face, it became apparent that shot would never arrive, and while it was confusing, it was also strangely relieving at the same time, given the timing. One by one, the giggles he tried to smother earlier started bubbling back up to the surface, Alti preferring to chuckle those negative thoughts aside instead of freak out like he normally did. This time. Change doesn't happen overnight, and especially not half-past nine. "Yeah! I mean, if you'll have me~" he bashfully teased. He unfastened the straps on his heels and kicked them off into the closet back at his place before finally getting up in pursuit of the shower, turning to his partner once he reached the door and beckoned him over with a wave. ---------- Alti was at work wringing the water out of his hair as the faucet was turned off. He sidled out of the shower before his soulmate, handing the man a towel before wrapping the second one around himself, wet hair and all. "I'm gonna go get changed." he said plainly before hopping quickly through a portal to his house, where he'd be taking better care of that beast of mane and grabbing a robe and possibly a pair of pants for the next half hour. The day had not been kind. Once he finished freshening up, he reluctantly stepped back into the hotel room, standing on the far end away from their shared bed just in case the time he took away to tend to his follicles sparked any bitter feelings in the scientist. Like, the kind that makes one wish to sleep alone. "Heyy...." |

After some conversation, the couples all went t bed,
Most likely sleeping in their problems.
Tsk tsk tsk.
In the morning, Elenars informed them via a letter underneath their door that plans for a more 'interesting date' were pushed back due to complications, so instead, the couples had a free day to do whatever they wanted.
Like talk, have coffee, go shopping, murder the innocent.
You know, the usual for some of these people.
Well anyways, the pseudo date began with tension high from punishment.
Maybe the couples could take a little more time to talk? Or maybe dodge it entirely,
Hindering their relationship from growing in favor of temporary happiness? Or they just fuck.
Well, whatever course of action they may take, the entire day is theirs until these 'plans' of Elenara's are revealed.
So in that case.
Date: commence!

With a night like last night, Maicy had gone to sleep. She probably needed it after something like the hell whole Elenara had put everyone through and hope the next day will be better. As morning rise, both Maicy and Aberdeen are still sleeping. Before Maicy was able to wake up, however, an unpleasant dream occurred. {Spoiler}
In this dream, everyone that Maicy cares about kept dying and there is now way Maicy was able to save them in it. One by one. Celesthy, Junkyo, Heremia, Yapaiko, Faiman, Alraada, Piami, and Aberdeen. Everyone. It ends with Maicy herself getting killed while she was blaming herself. With that nightmare being over, Maicy woken up. She's breathing and sweating very hard. "Oh dear...." Maicy muttered to herself before taking a deep breath. "Alright, calm down Maicy.... it's only a dream......it was only a dream....." After a few minutes, Maicy was able to calm down. She got out of her bed, went into the bathroom and took a shower. Once that's done, she changed into her clothes for the day. She decided to wear a slightly (keyword being "slightly") shorter skirt with leggings underneath, as a bit of a start to take her soulmate's suggestion. This is not so bad, actually. "Alright, I think I'm ready." And with that, Maicy got out of the bathroom. Before she was going to wake up her partner, she check her bank account on her phone to see if she'll be able to get something for both her and Aberdeen this time. With how expensive everything Maicy was forced to buy was, there's just no way her bank account is going well. Annnnnddd... Yep, there it is..Maicy is low on money on her bank account. She sighed a bit and facepalmed for a few seconds. She looked over to the door and she noticed that the letter came in. She reads the letter. So, another lazy day, huh? Honestly, this is something we all needed. Maicy walked her to Aberdeen, who seems to be still sleeping. "Hey Aberdeen" Maicy whispered "It seems that we have another free day today. Elenara informed that the quote unquote 'interesting date' has been pushed back."
After a well rested night, Piami woken up. She yawned as she got out of her bed, went into the bathroom, and took a bath. Once that's done, Piami changed into the outfit she wore for today. She walked out of the bathroom and notice Galystris is still sleeping. Piami walked over to her soulmate. "Hay Galy." she whisperd, not wanting to be too much of a disturbance "Is there anything you want for breakfast?"  |

"Hey Aberdeen" Maicy whispered "It seems that we have another free day today. Elenara informed that the quote unquote 'interesting date' has been pushed back." Aberdeen drowsily got out of bed as Maicy woke them up. They yawned and gave Maicy a peck on the cheek before grabbing their suitcase and heading off to the bathroom. After a quick shower and an outfit chosen, the fighter walked out of the bathroom with their head attached. They looked over to Maicy as they tied their bandana around their face. "I'm gonna go for a quick run and grab us something to eat. What do you feel like eating today?" They asked as they grabbed their wallet. 
Amil's eyes fluttered open, the man finding himself being woken up from the harsh rays of sunlight billowing down on him. He'd been asleep on Nace's chest, the two seeming to have fallen asleep on the balcony after their talk the night prior. He giggled lightly to himself and leaned towards the man's face, kissing him for a moment before whispering in his ear. "Hey, Nace, wake up." He sat up from his spot on the floor and scratched the back of his head, finding his hair matted and frizzy from the sea water he'd been assaulted with during Vale and Zadinya's 'date.' He stood up from the ground and walked back into the couple's room, immediately taking note of the letter slipped beneath their door. After reading the note, he crumpled it up and threw it in the trash before walking into the bathroom. He laughed at the sight that beheld him in the mirror. He was ready to hop into the shower and wash all the salt and sand away but decided a shower would be much more enjoyable with some company. He sauntered back out to the balcony and leaned against the sliding glass door. "Look how ridiculous my hair looks right now." He snickered.  |

((Em and I RPed this scene in private to finish up the interaction)). "Trying to care rarely works." she spoke, trying to hold her composure. Calming her quickening breath she sighed to herself. "I'm at a loss at what to do...improving for other people has been the only thing motivating me my entire life personally, so I don't know how to help....I'm so sorry..." She said, still fighting to keep a clear tone.
"You don't have to apologize," Vale reassured her, fighting the urge to go up and put his hands on her shoulders. "Really, you don't at all. I'm the one that should have been apologizing this whole time. And I'm sorry. For all of this. This isn't something I should have put you through. Even if I don't feel bad about the things I did, I do feel bad for making you suffer from my mistakes. Which is why I'm still going to try. Because when it comes to you...I do care, Alraada." He squinted a bit, his eye starting to tear up. He wiped at it harshly. "It's a horrible feeling sometimes, but other times it's the only thing that seems substantial anymore. You being disappointed in me is one of the worst things I've experienced in a long, long time. So I'm going to make it up to you. Starting at this point. I'll stay away from Amil and Nace, without another punishment date there is not reason for me to go near them. And I'll stick with you as much as you want me to. Because with you...I'm better. You make me better."
Alraada's eyes widened at his words, a pleasent feeling drifting through her. "I'm glad you can admit that you've...messed up. That's the first step." she gave a weak smile to indicate that he'd made a step in the right direction. "I care for you too, and that's why I've been sorta...lax on you. But that's beside the point." She finally managed to look him in the eye with an expression that wasn't some form of a scowl. "And yeah....let's...both keep away from them. I wouldn't want to go near them anyways, after that hellhole of a date." she said with a shrug, once again trying to indicate she wasn't angry anymore. "And I'll stick by you. I'll keep you from coming to harm in any way I can...even if it's just telling some people to fuck off" she said with a laugh, reaching to take his hand for reassurance.
He allowed her to take his hand, a faint smile forming beneath his mask. He squeezed her palm slightly and brought his gaze to meet hers. "This is a start," He said with a tiny nod. "Glad we've made it this far." He leaned forward hesitantly before kissing her gently on the forehead. "...I'm sorry it took so long for us to get here. But we can do this! We're the green team!" He tried to make his voice cheerful, although it was still a bit too forced. "We'll make it to the end, that's one promise I can keep at least. Nothing will happen to you again. I WILL protect you. From Amil, from Nace...f-from me," He swallowed hard. "We'll be okay."
 Vale woke up early and got dressed. His previous outfit had been completely destroyed, and his mask was so disgusting from the sea water he couldn't bare to put it on. Luckily, he did have a nearly identical mask, so he could still hide his face. Unfortunately, his gloves and everything else were beyond repair. He'd have to go out with his limbs exposed for the first time. He waited awkwardly for Alraada to wake up.
 Nace yawned and woke up with a pleasant kiss from his soulmate, blinking at the bright sun. He noticed Amil go inside to presumably take a shower and took this time to throw some clothes together. He went back out on the balcony just as his partner returned, his hair a mess from the previous date. "You should keep it like that," He said with a grin, "although you smell absolutely disgusting. Sorry babe." |

Luckily, he did have a nearly identical mask, so he could still hide his face. Unfortunately, his gloves and everything else were beyond repair. He'd have to go out with his limbs exposed for the first time. He waited awkwardly for Alraada to wake up. Alraada stretched herself out and smiled. " g'morning" she yawned, grabbing her glasses in her normal routine. Groggily fiddling with them on her face until she could see, she looked over to Vale. Her face lit up immediately and she shot him a tired thumbs up.  "You're learning to be more open!! That's awesome!" she chimed tiredly. She carefully positioned herself to slide off the bed and into her wheelchair, muttering a few 'ouches' along the way. "Be right back, I'll be sure to catch up to speed." She didn't entirely think through her descision, as she was tired. All she could do was be proud of vale and think of how Albany could do the same thing as her soulmate, and soon herself. She rolled into the bathroom with some clothes and excitedly changed. ... After some struggling, she eventually got into her clothes as she always did in her wheelchair. She eventually rolled out of the bathroom with a confident smile.  ((Not pictured: Sling, wheelchair, and boot because I'm lazy)) Getting over her inital bout of confidence, she immediately regretted her reckless descision, her face visibly changing from a smile to a look of insecurity. "You uh...sorry, you didn't have to see all the....erm...I'll get some socks and a sweater...sorry" she sputtered. ------------------------------
After a well rested night, Piami woken up. She yawned as she got out of her bed, went into the bathroom, and took a bath. Once that's done, Piami changed into the outfit she wore for today. She walked out of the bathroom and notice Galystris is still sleeping. Piami walked over to her soulmate. "Hay Galy." she whisperd, not wanting to be too much of a disturbance "Is there anything you want for breakfast?" Galystris woke up with an annoyed look on her face, wishing to not be disturbed of her slumber. She had just learned to not wake up at 4am every morning. "I'm good with whatever you can rustle up. Thanks" she said, stretching out. She stood up and went to the bathroom to change, as she had already showered the night before. She slung some clothes on lazily and ran a brush through her hair once or twice until she was almost presentable.  Coming out of the bathroom, letting out a loud, and by all means obnoxious yawn, she looked at a brochure that functioned as a map left by the hotel staff. She'd have to get back to Adrianne soon. The little girl had probably sent her 1,000 messages. She laughed lightly to herself, thinking of her friend. |

Aberdeen drowsily got out of bed as Maicy woke them up. They yawned and gave Maicy a peck on the cheek before grabbing their suitcase and heading off to the bathroom. After a quick shower and an outfit chosen, the fighter walked out of the bathroom with their head attached. They looked over to Maicy as they tied their bandana around their face. "I'm gonna go for a quick run and grab us something to eat. What do you feel like eating today?" They asked as they grabbed their wallet. Maicy felt a bit of relief that Aberdeen was not too annoyed with her waken them up, given past experiences she tried to wake Celesthy up and it ended with complete disaster. Then again, both of them were assholes at that time so it kind of made sense why it happened. Once her partner asked what she wants for breakfast, she did thought about it. "I feel an omelette would a good choice to eat." Maicy said with a light smile. "I was hoping of getting something for the both of us buuut my budget is preeeetty low.. eheheheh." She chuckled nervously "Hopefully the scientists will cover for that."
Galystris woke up with an annoyed look on her face, wishing to not be disturbed of her slumber. She had just learned to not wake up at 4am every morning. "I'm good with whatever you can rustle up. Thanks" she said, stretching out. She stood up and went to the bathroom to change, as she had already showered the night before. She slung some clothes on lazily and ran a brush through her hair once or twice until she was almost presentable. "Okay." Piami whisperly chimed. As Galystris gets ready, Piami looked at the door and see there are two letters. One from one of the scientist and one from Giaile. Piami read the former latter. She sighed of relief. After spending time with Cyrus and Giaile antagonizing each other and have a caffeine rush, a lazy day is pretty much needed. She read the letter from Giaile. It seems that Giaile has call from her boss and she has to meeting that she has attend to and it's going to last until a month after the experiment. "Oh! Giaile's not going to be around until a month after the experiment is over. Hopefully things will go well for." Piami turned Galystris. "So, shall we get downstairs to have breakfast?" |

"An omelette? Oh, okay" Aberdeen shrugged. "We can grab breakfast when I'm back from my run then. You can see if anyone else wants to eat with us, if you want." They walked out the door and began walking down the hallway. "Not like anyone WOULD wanna eat with us." They muttered to themself as the began descending the stairway.
Once inside the lobby, the fighter noticed a group of people huddled around one of the large televisions hanging from the wall which constantly broadcast whatever channel their flipped to as background noise for the hotel. This television, however, was flipped to the local news station. The fighter's eyes widened at the sight of the story, as they watched two very familiar men battle in the midst of an aquarium, throwing sea life, breaking water pipes, and flinging bodies around like its nothing.
"Those damn supers..." "The government should really do something about this!" "I hear they both got away with it, too! They could be walking around the streets right now!" "And people say 'Not all supers.' Well what the hell is this!!"
Aberdeen listened to the angry ramblings of the group of hotel goers as their heart began sinking. They quickly walked away from the group and out into the streets of the city, grabbing at the back of their neck as they suddenly felt as though all eyes were on them. There's no way anyone would know I'm a super, right? I put the prosthetic on, they can't see my head... It is on, right? Aberdeen grabbed at the sides of their 'head,' despite the fact they could feel it against their neck. Aberdeen began to run, well, more like sprint, down the street as though something or somebody was chasing them.
Amil snorted with laughter at his partner's compliment quickly turned sour, the man turning around and heading towards the bathroom. "Well, I'm glad you like it~! I'll try and get it to stay like this after a shower then. I was coming out here to see if you'd like to join me~! I really need a good scrubbing after yesterdays little...scene.." Amil's playful tone dropped as his mind was bombarded with blurry memories of what had happened the day prior, gripping at his slightly bruised chest as he continued walking inside.
"Uh...y'know what. I'll just shower alone, since I smell so awful." He muttered, trying to keep up his playful mood as he stepped into the bathroom and began peeling his gloves and leggings off, the amalgamates showing much more resistance than usual. Once they black creatures were torn off and dropped in the corner of the room, he waited an extra moment to see if Nace was joining him or not.

"Uh...y'know what. I'll just shower alone, since I smell so awful." He muttered, trying to keep up his playful mood as he stepped into the bathroom and began peeling his gloves and leggings off, the amalgamates showing much more resistance than usual. Once they black creatures were torn off and dropped in the corner of the room, he waited an extra moment to see if Nace was joining him or not. "Oh, no ya don't!" Nace ran in after the man, closing the bathroom door behind him as he went. "You're not getting away from me that easily!" He teased with a smirk on his lips. As per usual, his thick head didn't notice the slight shift in Amil's mood. He tore off the clothes he'd just put on a few moments prior and practically hopped into the shower, their talk from last night having lifted a weight off his chest now that some things had been cleared between the two. He turned up the water to a relatively hot temperature, filling the whole room with steam in less than a minute. "Well, come on then. Get your ass in here!" He gestured with his chin. "I don't know what we're doing today. We may not have much time till one of the bitches come knock down our door."
The bit of skin Vale still had on his face was tinged with red at her nice comments. He swayed a bit back and forth bashfully as Alraada vanished into the bathroom. He would have offered to help...but these two were far more modest than most of the other couples. Quick kisses were all they had gotten to so far, and even then his mask had been on for all of them. It embarrassed him to even think about suggesting it. When she came out, showing far more skin then over before, he let out a giddy squeal and clasped his mechanical hands together, seeming to forget how exposed he himself was if only for a moment. "No, no, you look lovely!" He promised her when she showed discomfort. "If you have skin to show I say go for it!" That came out a bit differently than he would have liked, but he hoped the compliment was clear. |

Alti woke up the next morning with a look of genuine shock on his features as his hand gripped and searched the vacant side of the couple's bed, his expression sombering into a light pout as his gaze fell upon the scientist's dormant frame slumped against the desk. It appeared he slept alone that night, the man sitting himself up and bitterly running through his hair with his fingers. He shouldn't have been so surprised by the broken promise after the talk they had the night prior; he couldn't have expected things to smooth over that quickly. No, he should've just been grateful that his soulmate even agreed to let him sleep in the same room as him for the last several hours. That at least meant he didn't hate him, right? Right. This could've gone so much more downhill, he thought as he shuffled out of his sheets. After all, Cyrus could've just sent him off to sleep in the vacant bed, or even worse, Alraada could've returned from wherever the hell she went off to, resulting in him taking his sorry ass back to his house for the night! That would've gone terribly, given his 'family' never did take all too kindly to the more vulnerable set of emotions that humans seemed to be equipped with. Ugh. He shuddered the thought away as he groggily inched his way over to the door, where a note had been placed by the bitchy puppetmaster herself. Another lazy day, huh? he thought with a relieved sigh before he sauntered over to his partner and placed the slip of paper next to his laptop. Brushing a few strands of hair away from his face, Alti leaned over and gave Cyrus a peck on the cheek before lightly patting the other awake on the back. "Hey, get up. It's a new morning~" he softly chimed before completing a few simple stretches and stepping through a portal to get himself ready for the day. He recalled the events of the last 'lazy' date with a small grin tugging at his cheeks as he freshened up and started changing, the man remembering how well the tense emotions of the previous night back then seemed to dissipate with the added exposure to one another along with the new, tender feelings that accompanied it. After a night like what they had, this was exactly what they needed, although probably not in the company of anyone else this time. Unless... that was what his soulmate wanted, of course. Alti shrugged. Really, it was the other man's call; he'd just have to be on his best behavior no matter how unsavory the choice. "OK!" he announced as he stepped out of the rift, hands clasped together excitedly. "So, what are we doing today? I think first we should probably order room service since-- OH, you're already one step ahead of me!" he chuckled as he looked down at the breakfast choices his partner already made for him.

The scientist hadn't even realized that he was halfway across the room from the bed until a light touch and a kiss on the cheek stirred him from his uncomfortable slumber. "Mmmm...?" he groaned quietly, shifting back in his chair to the point where his head slid off the desk, the man jostling forward as his weight suddenly dropped. That was enough to pop Cyrus awake, leaving him blinking and gawking blankly around the room for a moment, trying to get his bearings after falling asleep in a foreign location before realizing he'd fallen asleep at his laptop. Oh, he stared down at the technology which had fallen asleep along with him. After Alti had portalled away after their shower, he'd taken the hour or so of silence to bury himself in his work before the overthinking and intrusive thoughts became too intense. Guess those schematics were even more bland than I'd realized. Yawning he turned to address his partner, mumbling "Alti?" before realizing he'd portalled his way out already. Looking back at his desk he noticed a slip of paper that hadn't been there previously, the scientist quickly skimming it before raising an eyebrow. Surprisingly, the scienbitch gave them just what they needed. After last night's events a day of processing and relaxing was just what they needed. And with how nice the last lazy day had been, he had to admit he was looking forward to it. With another yawn and a stretch, he tugged on a fresh pair of clothes, tousling his hair a few times until this morning's bizarre bedhead sat a little flatter. Unexpectedly he finished getting ready far before Alti had returned, Cyrus settling onto the bed with a groan and nabbing the menu from his bedside table. Last time, ordering breakfast had ended up being a big success, an impish grin spreading across his face as he relived the moment when Alti had asked him to 'feed him'. Giving the menu a quick once-over he settled on an order before calling up room service, once again getting a smorgasbord for his curious partner to try. The service arrived rapidly and the man laid it all out on the nightstand, silently hoping it'd all still be warm by the time his partner returned.  "OK!" he announced as he stepped out of the rift, hands clasped together excitedly. "So, what are we doing today? I think first we should probably order room service since-- OH, you're already one step ahead of me!" he chuckled as he looked down at the breakfast choices his partner already made for him. Alti's timely return answered his minor concerns, the scientist turning to him with a grin. "Trust me I'm already well prepared," he hummed, gesturing to the assortment. "So today we got some Belgian waffles, French toast, uh... eggs, fresh fruit and these yogurt parfaits. Hopefully this should be enough to sate your prevailing sweet tooth," he chuckled, sitting on the bed and patting the spot next to him. "And I guess we could just hang out in the room? I didn't really think too far ahead but, I-I can't really complain about our activities during the last lazy day," he replied with a light blush on his cheeks. "We can always go out somewhere later if we wanna?" |

"Hey... I believe you," he murmured quietly, still sniffling and glassy-eyed himself. Locking eyes with his partner he pulled him into a hug, leaning his chin on the other's shoulder. "I believe you," he whispered again breathily as if it were another pass at reassuring the both of them, holding him in the embrace for a few quiet moments, his heart still pounding out of his chest. "... I-It'll be alright," he finally uttered. "We'll figure it out one step at a time. I-It's your first time doing... the whole relationship thing yeah?"
