"Yeah, I've noticed.." He drawled with a light eye roll. Although he huffed and grouched, it was another thing about Eva he tended to like.
Otto seemed to narrow his eyes in thought, before widening them suddenly. "s**t! I forgot.. I sent that text right before I... ********, I hope she doesn't think I..." ----Wait.
"How.. do you know about her?"

Welp, maybe it was a good thing she had reminded him. She watched his reaction in amusement, leaning back and drumming her fingers on her thigh as she waited for him to realize--aaah, there it was. Chuckling, she shook her head.
"We both visited you at the same time. You were sleeping though, so we got talking." Looking a little sheepish, she lifted her hand and rubbed the back of her head, "I think she was a little upset at first because it looked like you stood her up, but she understood when she heard what happened."
There was a pause, and then she tapped her finger against her pocket, indicating where her cellphone was. "You should probably text her and let her know that you're okay, yeah?"

Awkward didn't cover it. Talking about someone who confessed to him, and in turn gave him the courage to confess to someone else. Yeah... To know they'd talked around his unconscious body... oh boy..
He looked sheepish, not happy to hear she'd nearly thought he'd stood her up. Most people he didn't care what they thought. Most, but not all. There were a few people he'd come to care for that he'd agonize over it if they thought ill of him.
"Yeah.." He idly scratched at a bandage, most of his injuries at the 'incredibly and awkwardly itchy' phase of healing. A phase he normally didn't have to deal with as a hunter. But with his Fear shield weakened, the process was slightly slow.
Now where did the Life Techs stash his stuff...

She lifted her brows and watched him for a moment before grinning, withdrawing her own cellphone from her pocket and gently setting it in his lap. "Want to borrow this? I can go find out where your stuff is, if that's what you're looking for." Of course, she didn't expect for it to be far--probably just a little ways away from where he was laying--but she didn't want him to wander around injured either.
...Speaking of which, she should get some more details about his attacker later sometime. Just...you know, for reference's sake.
There was a moment of pause, and then she sighed, the corners of her lips turned upwards. "I was surprised, though. When Nevada told me that she confessed, I..." Trailing off, she gave a little shake of her head, "Haha, I shouldn't be surprised that you're so popular though! Grumpy or not, you're not fooling anyone."
She emphasized this with a gentle poke to his chest, grinning from ear to ear.

"Thanks.." Otto took up the phone, slowly typing up a text message for Nevada. His stuff might be across the room, but other than getting up to use the bathroom, he was in no shape to wander around. Just turning his ankle or torso while sleeping hurt like a b***h. Nyxtsuki Moon Text to Nevada: I'm sorry you waited so long. I guess you heard what happened. Anyway, I got an answer for you but you deserve to hear it face to face, not over a text. Lemme know when you're available so I can meet you. I should be out of here in a few days. Nevada explained to Eva that she had confessed. Otto rubbed his neck and handed the cell phone back. "Sorry.. that mighta been awkward.." He furrowed his brows at the gentle poke, tilting his head curiously. "Huh? You aren't? Cause I sure as Hell was." Otto admitted with a baffled look. "I dunno if ya noticed, but I ain't exactly a lady killer."

"No problem." She hummed to herself patiently as she waited for him to finish, eying their surroundings and glancing back to Otto only when he held the phone back out to her. Taking it, she slid it back into her pocket and grinned, giving a little shrug of her shoulders.
"A little, but hey! Don't apologize, puppy. It's no one's fault, right?" None of them had known that this was how things were going to turn out, after all. All these confessions, Otto getting hurt, Eva and Nevada running into one another while he was out cold...
...Fate really had a terrible, terrible sense of timing.
Chuckling, Eva lifted a hand and tapped him on the nose again. "But you're genuine, puppy. For all your scowling, you have a good heart, and--is this awkward?" Right. Riiiight, man body. Aware of the fact she had been leaning in, she chuckled and drew back to distance herself again. When she spoke next, however, her expression became a little more solemn, though the corners of her lips were still curved upwards in a weak smile.
"Though I hear I'm not the only one who ended up talking to someone who confessed. A certain blond visited you, am I right?"

Even though he knew it was Eva in there, he couldn't get past that male face staring at him with bright blue eyes. "A little." He murmured, relaxing as she leaned away. Otto was touched that she thought he had a good heart. He wasn't really sure he did, but if Eva said so? Well, he held a bias to Eva's opinions.
"A blonde...?" His first instinct was to think of any blonde females at Deus, and why they would visit. But then it hit him. "Oh... Gale." Otto cringed. He really hated that guy. "He didn't visit me, he passed by and decided to open that big ugly hole in his face.." He uttered with a sour face.

"Puppy." Frowning, she reached out to pat his hand, giving a little shake of her head. Goodness, these two...really didn't like each other, did they? How on earth had she been so oblivious to their dislike of one another for so long? ...Then again, Eva knew that she wasn't the most observant of people, but she would have thought that she would notice the interaction between two of her favourite people.
She sighed, lifting her brows at Otto, though her expression was pleading. "Try to get along with him, okay? You're my boyfriend, and he's my close friend--you and Gale are the two people that I'd like to get along the most." Well, in a perfect world, everyone would get along with everyone else, but she knew that that wasn't practical.
After all, even she had people (see: one person) that she disliked. Then again, it wasn't as if Caelius made an effort to be liked.

Otto frowned right back as she used his pet name with a stern tone. He huffed, turning his head away for a moment.
"Yeah... well. I'll try. Only cause it means a lot to ya. But if he sasses me, there ain't no way I'm gunna try and play nice back." Otto really, really, really hated Gale. Sure, he wasn't exactly innocent in it all. After all, the first time he met Gale he kicked the Brit in the ribs for no good reason.

Her expression relaxed into a familiar, easy smile, and she leaned back in her chair. "That's all I ask, Puppy--that you try. It really would mean a lot to me." She grinned at him, and then let out a sigh as she glanced down at her phone to check the time. "Maybe I should let you get some more rest now. I want you to get better soon, after all."
Chuckling, she pushed her chair back and stood up, stretching her arms up over her head. "Don't wander around, okay? I know it's boring just sitting in your bed, so I'll try to find something to bring you for entertainment later today." Without thinking about, she leaned forward and gave him a kiss on the cheek, only to freeze.
...
"...And just remember than even if I look like a guy, I'm really the same Eva, okay? Remember that...just now, especially."

A rest sounded okay. Boring, but if he didn't rest he wouldn't heal. Annoying and boring. He hated the infirmary.
Otto leaned back again, expecting Eva to walk out, but she kissed his cheek. A man kiss. On the cheek.
He was just glad she didn't accidentally kiss him on the lips.
"R-right..." He replied awkwardly, rubbing the bridge of his nose. "Just.. gimme five of those when ya turn back, aight?" Seemed fair.

His reply caught her off guard, her sparkling-handsome face turning a light shade of pink as she grinned and lifted a hand to scratch at her cheek. "Yeah, of course! I'll write you an I.O.U up here," She tapped her head, "And I'll be sure to keep my word. But for now..."
Swiping another pillow from one of the other beds, she fluffed it up vigorously before encouraging Otto to lean forward so that she could replace the flatter one that he had been resting on. "Try to get some sleep or something right now, okay? I'll be back before you know it, hopefully with books, comics, or games to help you get through the rest of you time here."
And with a smile and a light hand squeeze, she slipped out to go off in search of said items.

Otto leaned up again, allowing Eva to switch his pillow with a fluffier, softer one. He sank into it as he laid down, his eyes threatening to close from how comfortable he was now. Being so beat up really tired him out easily, it seemed. Just chatting with Eva had riled him up to much.
"Sure.." He murmured as she left, his sore body relaxing against the soft bedding. He was just going to close his eyes for a moment. She'd return with something to keep him occupied.
But he was soon out like a light.
