He had that dream again. The dream of having something ripping out of him; like that old alien show that Hazeline had watched some time ago during “Weekend Marathon “ specials. There was that monstrous alien...thing that kept bursting out of its victims and searching for new ones. Xiu’s dream had been similar to that, except that unlike the show which ended once the aliens were killed, he had woken up with a throbbing shoulder.
It was too much of a coincidence to assume that it was the influence of that movie playing on his mind. It might have been the movie if only the bruise has not gotten larger over the past few weeks.
Well, hopefully all of that would end today. As promised, Xiu would not be keeping a secret over something like this anymore. Not after he made a promise to not only Hazeline but the rest of the Lab staff.
…
He would tell it to Lazarus and hoped that his friend (perhaps more than friend? Xiu certainly felt that it had…passed the friendship threshold into something a little more intimate. Friends after all, do not kiss each other on the lips) would have a solution to offer. The bruise was starting to hurt during the day too.
As always whenever he visited the Lab, Lazarus was there, waiting for him with an endearing look that could rival that of a puppy. Xiu felt himself blush. “Lazarus…,” mouthed the white Sigel as he approached the Fiery one. Giving the other a brief hug, Xiu could feel himself blushing again. It was an automatic reaction. The white Sigel had as much control over it as he had the ability to make the sky rain. Xiu would have very much liked to give the other something more than a hug but societal norms did not permit it. Not where someone could just drop in on them at any rate…

Xiu's visit was unexpected, he had only sent a text to his cellphone in the morning that he was going to visit later today. But Lazarus doesn't mind, any day that he can see Xiu is a good day. Although there was a nagging feeling that Xiu doesn't seem well when he sent the text, he just couldn't tell why.
The Lab lobby was empty when Xiu arrived, except for the fire Sigel. Alex will only be coming in later today and Zeke had veterinary duties to tend to. Lazarus was just pretending to be idly flipping a magazine when his heart and eyes were set on the entrance door, waiting for the white Sigel to appear. Just the view of the tip of Xiu's wing would send the magazine back to the coffee table top in a second and Lazarus would be off the couch the next.
"Xiu!" He cried happily as he went up to Xiu, accepting the hug with one of his own firmer ones. The happiness alone was enough to make Lazarus's face red with glee. The hug had ended sooner than the fire Sigel had hoped, but that was okay. However, when he saw Xiu's expression clearly again, his brows knotted in a slight frown. "Is everything alright?" It was not very obvious, but he knew something was troubling the white Sigel. He doesn't seem like the usual gentle, carefree self.
