He hadn't heard from Etzer in a while. There were no texts retured, though Uller sent him several. It worried the Stag to no end that Etzer was gone for so long with no communication. Sighing slowly, he decided to go to the boil's room, finally. Honestly, he tried to not bother Etzer in his room too much. Etzer did say he was going to be busy with prom outfits coming out.

So, he stood in front of Etzer's door for a momet before knocking lightly.

"Door's open," Etzer called, not bothering to answer it himself. He was in the middle of a project, working on a large dress that poofed out in all directions.

One had to wonder which ghoul that particular dress was going to.

The boil didn't bother to look up, adjusting the hem on the outfit, needles sticking out from his lips as his brow furrowed in concentration.

Opening the door at the sound of the boil's voice, Uller's ears perkd up slowly and gave a soft noise. "Ah, so you have been here," he said softly, voice kind of sad. Closing the door behind him, Uller leaned against it as he looked Etzer over. He was really in his element like this. What he was born to do.

"You didn't answer any of my texts this week.. I was starting to worry you'd keeled over or something."

"I might be soon. I haven't eaten anything," Came his voice, and he walked around the dress, pinning that side as well. "I don't remember the last time I ate. I'm probably hungry?" Etzer's stomach gurgled, and he scoffed. "Yeah, I think so."

He sighd as Etzer talked about food instead of why he was ignoring his texts. Moving over to Etzer, he grabbed at his hands. "Then stop and eat. We're going to prom together and I don't want my boilfriend passing out before the first dance."

Slowly, he attempted to tug him away from the outfit he was pinning. "You are allowed to take care of yourself, you know."

"I'm nearly finished, really," Etzer half whined, reaching up to take the pins out of his mouth. He gave Uller a small smile before turning back around to pin a few more things in place, his mind once again back to the dress.

At least he didn't have any more pins and needles in hand anymore.

He sighed as Etzer whined and just worked on the dress. The Stag sat­­ on the bed, waiting and watching. He was worried about the boil, honestly. He said he was hungry but wouldn't eat. Letting his little tail flick this way and that as he he did. "You should just finish it when you've eaten. You could get really shaky and mess up the whole dress, you know..."

Who was that for anyway? He was so curious. Licking his lips a little, he sighed and rubbed at his face. "I'll be here until you're done."

Sliding to the ground in a sitting position, Etzer leaned his head against the pole for just a moment, not realizing how tired he really was. He just rested his eyes for a few moments, body sagging as his arms curled around the pole.

"Just a little more..."

Nope, that was it. He got off the bed and reached into his pocket. He kept an energy bar in his pocket most of the time, because Uller had been feeling tired a lot and handed it to the boil after sitting down on the floor with him. "Eat this. Don't ask, just eat." His voice took an oddly commanding tone as he spoke, eyes narrowing slightly. "Honestly, can't even take care of yourself..."

"Deadlines," Etzer murmured quietly, biting into the bar and finally disentangling himself from the dress, figuring it was enough. The ghoul was picky enough anyway. He curled around Uller on the floor, resting his head against the other's shoulder as he chewed in silence.

"Deadlines do not mean you can't eat and make sure you're sleeping. You look like a mess." Now he was chiding. Carefully, he rested his head on the boil's own, mindful of his horns and just stroked down his back. "Do I need to come check on you with every meal?"

"Probably. If every ghoul's as picky as this one." Etzer sighed, further snuggling into Uller's lap. "I could take a break. 'specially for you."

Uller couldn't help but laugh a little as he pulled the boil into his lap. His arms wrapped around Etzer's waist, just hugging him that way. Uller leaned slightly, letting his chin sit on Ezter's shoulder. "Good. You look like you've exhausted all of your energy. Maybe you should sleep."

"We could sleep together," Etzer offered, though by the tone of his voice he wasn't trying to play it off as a come on. He just seemed like he wanted to cuddle. "I could use a little heat."

Heat? "You do realize I'm an ice stag, correct?" He asked, moving to scoop the demon up. He felt light. Probably lost a bit of weight from not eating like he was supposed to. Uller walked over to the bed and laid Etzer on it before shucking off his shoes and coat, leaving him in socks, pants and muscle shirt before crawling into the bed with him. He wasn't caring about the lights right now. His mind was focused, completely, on the boil. "I'll lay here. I'm not tired."

"Cold then. You know what I mean." Laying his head on the pillow, Etzer smiled at Uller, reaching up to run fingers over the ice stag's ear. "Thanks for being there for me. I do tend to get a little carried away."

A little bit of an understatement. When his ear was played with, Uller made a content noise and just nodded softly. "I was worried. You weren't answering texts and no one had seen you in a while," he murmured. Leaning in to kiss the other boil gently, before petting a hand through Etzer's fringe. "I'll start bringing you food, I suppose.."

"Xiu's cookies would be nice." Etzer perked up. "Or my brother's cookies, since he got the recipe from Xiu."

"Where's your brother? I could ask him," he murmured, stroking along his cheek again. Sighing a little more, Uller moved to thumb over Ezter's ear.

Jerking a thumb towards the wall, Etzer smiled. "Next room over. Kinda worked out that way." Rolling his shoulders back, he rolled to his back and stared at the ceiling, more than content with Uller being there.

"... So he... heard us the first time?" By us, Uller meant him and he meant, specifically, the tail touching. Groaning a little at that prospect, he watched Etzer roll over and stayed near him. "Just go to sleep. I'll ask him when you wake up."

"Probably not. There was no banging on the wall." He laughed, and then found himself unable to stop. It was funny.

"Okay, you're so sleep deprived.." Frowning at the laughing, Uller thumped the boil in his head and snorted. "Go to sleep.. Seriously, Etzer."

"But you're funny." Grasping Uller's wrist, Etzer pulled him on top and wrapped his arms around him, snuggling into his chest gently, keeping his horns in mind. "Sleeeep." Yes, sleep sounded good.

It wasn't long before Etzer's grip relaxed, his breathing light as he slept.

Uller let himself be pulled onto the other and got as comfortable as he could, at least, until he felt that grip loosening. While he didn't leave, he did rolled to the side and closed his eyes, a hand resting on the boil's chest. "Stupid demon."
