He had been tired a lot lately, ever since taking in the chaos to help the code, and it was because of that Seung had gone back on a promise made. He’d known it was likely to happen even when he’d made it. It wasn’t that he planned to, why make a promise when he planned to break it, he had been sincere in wanting to try and not do what bothered, and worried, Terry so much but some habits were hard to break especially hard when so needed.
It was something he hoped the other didn’t find out about, he was hiding it as he wore a set of warm fluffy arm warmers over both his arms. It wasn’t just to hide the small puncture mark on the back of his left hand, though that was a plus, but also because they were soft and comfortable and he really didn’t have the energy to do much other than laze about right now. As it was he had gone shopping earlier and not stood outside the others door waiting to be let in. In his arms he had a shopping bag filled with who knows what, as the bag was unmarked.
Other than that he had a pillow, blanket, and other things in a backpack with him. He was planning to spend the night at Terry’s and was planning on being comfortable as they worked on something, what was inside the unmarked bag. Shifting from foot to foot he let out a wide yawn, one hand coming up to cover it up before rubbing at a tired eye. He really was considering just curling up and sleeping and screw the project he had planned as a surprise, but this was something he really did want to do.
Lowering his head, tilting his head downward, he shook his head once, trying to keep awake when really he was considering sleep. Looking up he thought he had heard someone coming - he hoped so. Yeong was at his side, he held the leash in his hand, as the little puppy waited at his master's side for the door to open. It wasn’t often that he left the pup at home when he came to visit Terry and his family. Rather he tended to bring the pup so he could play with the cat and visit the family he had gotten to know in the time Terry had him here, after rescuing him.

Terry had been doing his best not to let himself take as many naps as his body seemed to want to take ever since he had taken the chaos energy from the Code piece. After the first few days of taking the energy he had found himself taking naps all hours or the day and when he turned in for the night he had ended up sleeping in longer than he normally would. Once the fourth day had passed he had promised himself not to let himself take all of those naps since it cut into his day and screwed up his sleep schedule. Though it was easier said than done at times.
As he was feeling the drowsiness come on once again today he got up from his desk, grabbed his phone and made his way down the stairs. Maybe a walk would wake him back up, though it would probably be a quick one. When he got to the entrance way he slipped on his shoes and opened the door ready to go out only to be surprised to see Seung standing there with a bag and leash in hand. “Seung!” He quickly got a smile on his face and he opened the door wider for the other to come in, walk forgotten.
As he stepped back to let the other male and the pup into the house he studied the other and saw how tired he looked. “Are you feeling alright?” He asked, now worried. Was the other getting enough sleep? Enough food? Or was he just feeling the effects of the chaos energy as well?

“Tired...lots of tired and sleep since meeting.” He said indicating the meeting on the moon, a place he did wish to go to again when he wasn’t so tired. “Got idea for time together...but also asked if I could spend the night.” And Terry’s mother had agreed to it, hence the pillow and blanket he had as well as how he was dressed. He had come in clothing he’d wear to bed despite what time it was, also no makeup on and his glasses rather than his contacts. He’d been sleeping a lot, something he didn’t normally do. If anything he lacked sleep, as Terry knew he did.
“Go to your room, can show what I got for us.” He said nodding his head to the bag he had before shuffling his way toward the stairs deciding to head right for the others room. “Yeong, come.” Calling for the pup to get him to follow, as he seemed more interested in getting free so he could explore the others home.
“Think you will liking this.” He spoke up, looking over his shoulder as he mounted the stairs, and smiled at the other...and then yawned. “Look tired.” He said indicating the other who did indeed look tired, though perhaps not as tired as he looked and felt - and was.

Terry’s worry didn’t lessen by much at hearing that the other was indeed suffering from the chaos but there wasn’t much he could do about it. When Seung mentioned he had an idea and was going to spend the night, he gave a bright smile and leaned to give him a kiss on the cheek. “What kind of an idea?” He asked as he leaned back, curious to what the other had come up with. He had noticed the other’s attire and knew that it wasn’t something he normally walked around in at all but it made sense since he was staying the night and suffering from the same tiredness. Besides, he looked adorable.
“Alright, want me to take anything?” He asked as he shut the door behind Seung and Yeong then slipped his shoes back off and into the cubby. He could hear Ace making his way through the living room towards them, the tags on his collar jingling as the munchkin ran. “I’m sure I will since you picked came up with it.” He said and smiled back as he followed after Seung to the stairs. He of course could not help but yawn when the other did and gave a low chuckle. “It seems the chaos hit us both similarly. I wonder if it made all of us tired.” Was it wrong that right now he didn’t care to investigate that? It could be something for later anyway. Maybe he could toss Xanthus or Quinn a hologram question to see if they are the same way.

He’d left his shoes by the door, having slipped them off with ease, and knew Terry would put them away in the cubby with the shoes Terry had been wearing. Yeong was stopped on the steps and sat himself down at Seung’s side, waiting for his master to get moving again. Watching Terry, listening to the question, he shook his head., “Surprise and good, can handle all things.” He said shifting his backpack and flashed a smile to the other, before hiding a yawn in his shoulder to the best of his ability.
“No...made Gévaudan more aggressive...if possible.” He said in a lowered voice. He remembered how aggressive the other had been in during that invasion. He had been very aggressive then and to think him more aggressive - was hard. “Different with people.” Or so it seemed anyway, but were there more options - more ways it affected some other people?
Climbing the stairs, Yeong at his side, he headed for the others room. He wasn’t going to tell him what he’d bought, it was a surprise, but he’d show him soon enough and see what he thought of it. “Still have gift from Caedus?” He questioned, though already he knew the answer. Terry wouldn’t have thrown such a thing out, it was a wondrous gift. It was something Seung had, till now, kept on his bedside table so it was close to him. It meant something and the fact it was from somewhere so far away, from a planet or star unknown to him was truly a wondrous thing. He did wish to see Caedus again and perhaps, if the other was able to get home, visit there somehow. They could go to their wonders and the moon, with some help, so why not some help to get him there to see the others home? A synthetic planet was in some ways appealing even as it was how different from what he was used to. He hadn’t told Terry this yet, voices his wonder and desire to see Caedus’ home planet if possible, but there was no need to as he wasn’t sure it was even possible.
Reaching the others bedroom he reached out with one arch warmer clad hand, just his fingers peeking out from the dark plush, and grasping the knob turned it and pushed the door open. Bending down he unleashed yeong and let the Jindo pup run into the others room and investigate to see what had changed since his last visit.

Terry did indeed move Seung’s shoes into the cubby for him before giving a nod when the other said he didn’t need him to take anything. He then paused to imagine a more aggressive Gévaudan and shook his head. “Makes sense that it would affect people differently. How did you find out about Gévaudan?” He asked curiously as he followed after Seung, spotting Ace bouncing up the stairs as well. Finding out that it had affected people differently though made him curious, and a bit wary, to what other effects there could be and just how different it could be fore the Knights he knew that accepted the chaos.
When Seung asked him about the gift from Caedus he gave a nod. “Of course. I assume you do as well?” It wasn’t something he would have just thrown away, not when the man had given it to them and then helped them with the strike against the Negaverse. While the fight couldn’t be considered a win for either side, they had done damage to to the Negaverse by taking out one of their royals, rescuing the code piece that had been on it’s way to corruption, taking back all of those star seeds, and took out a lot of youma including a greater one. That so many had gotten hurt or killed was something that was not surprising and Terry certainly did not blame Caedus for anything.
He shook those thoughts away when Seung opened the door to his room and let Yeong run free, giving a smile when Ace was quick to join the pup even though the kitten already was very familiar with the room and any changes. Terry moved to pull Seung into a hug then shuffled them both into the room proper. “So any hints to what we are going to be doing?”

Ouch, that was a can of worms he didn’t want to open - he really didn’t want to. Biting down on his bottom lip he hesitated a moment before turning to face the other. Dropping the bags he had onto the others floor gently before approaching Terry. Wrapping his arms about the other, hoping to keep him from becoming too upset, he lay his head on the others shoulder. “Got caught by General other night. Was alone...one I met before, let me go in past. Gevaudan saved me this one time.” Seung answered, his words a whisper as he closed his eyes and waited, hoping the other didn’t become too worried or upset. He knew he shouldn’t have been out on his own but he’d been doing something else he shouldn’t have been doing...but he hadn’t needed to power up.
“Have it always, bedside table...comforting...precious - special.” Seung said thinking about the item. Something from space...something that held such a meaning. It was...precious and had a deeper sort of touching feeling to it for him. It was hard to put into words, at least for him, but he hoped Terry understood what he meant by his words...that it was a deep thing to him and it was hard to word for him. It was hard at times to get his thoughts and feeling across to the other, other people it was even harder with.
“Brought with me tonight...for surprise.” He said as he nodded to the bag he had. Rather than put it into his backpack full of bed things he had it in the shopping bag, with the items he’d bought which would pertain to the gift from Caedus.
“Mmm, gift is hint.” He said nodding his head slowly. “Want something to match…” Biting gently on his bottom lip he met the others eyes with his own questioning ones. “Couples not always show affection back home...but wear clothing that match. Shirts...underclothing….was thinking gift can match be worn...is gift and special - in common.”

Terry started to frown at the look on Seung’s face and started getting worried when the other put down the bags and hugged him. Just what had happened? He tried not to let his imagination run wild with theories and thankfully the other explained before any idea’s really came to mind. Not that the explanation really stopped his worry. He wrapped his arms around Seung and held him tight before taking a deep breath and letting it out. “Guess I should thank him next time I see him.” He said, trying to keep his voice light. He fully planned to ask for details later as well as the description of the General but for now he was trying to let it go since there wasn’t anything he could do about it. He also really, really didn’t want to think about the power difference of that fight before the other Knight had shown up to help.
Terry gave a small smile and a nod, grabbing onto the topic change. “Yeah, I keep my half on a shelf near by bed, up high enough that Ace won’t get idea’s of course. I know what you mean by special.” He agreed. It was from somewhere in space that he may never go to, it was from a friend from another planet and was over a thousand years old. Just so many different things come together to make the stone half special. He looked over at the bags when Seung gestured then back to the other with a bigger smile, though there was a slight blush on his face. “Thank you for being so thoughtful.” He said, cupped Seung’s face and gave him a kiss. It didn’t fully tell him what it was that the other had planned but that was the nature of hints and he figured he would find out soon.

He knew it would worry the other, bother him, that he had put himself in such a situation but at least the other wasn’t scolding him or giving him that ‘I’m disappointed in you.’ look which he really didn’t like seeing on the others face. It sort of really bothered him to see that look on the others face and for good reason, he cared about the other a good deal and didn’t like the idea of upsetting him. It was why he called the other yeobo, it wasn’t something he’d call anyone else.
“Mmmm...got stabbed protecting me.” He said softly, he still felt bad about that - a lot of guilt. “Was a captain when I met him one time...wanted me to getting stronger - haven’t yet.” Which he was a bit upset over, he didn’t like not having magic and being able to help more - to do more. He wanted to be able to contribute more to a battle, especially with helping Erebus and having the others back. Snuggling the others shoulder, and the side of his neck, he was surprised when his head was lifted and he found the other kissing him gently.
His cheeks flush a reddish hue while his eyelids lowered, dark lashes just ghosting against his pale flesh “Want something...you and me.” He said gesturing between their bodies. He wanted something special just between them. Stepping back, reluctantly, he went to empty the bag out onto the others bed. Silver wire, silver chains, cutters for the wire, a few glass bead options, and then his half of the whole they shared. “Necklace...can make for the other...me for your half...you for mine.”

If Terry had been told the incident in detail, he wouldn’t have been disappointed with Seung for needing help, or having been in the wrong place at the wrong time. Rather he would have been more disappointed to learn WHY Seung had been out and about for the General to attack. While he knew that the other wouldn’t just give up the habit, he had hoped that Seung hadn’t backslid without him knowing. But since the older man didn’t tell him the details, and likely would have left out why he was out anyway, he was feeling more worried and protective then disappointed.
Terry winced when Seung said that Gévaudan got stabbed and made a mental note to do something nice for the man. He then shook his head and cuddled Seung at the rest. “You’ll get there. I don’t think you can rush getting stronger.” He said soothingly. He certainly hadn’t been expecting his own change into a Squire though he was glad it happened when it did since he was able to make more of a difference in the attack on the Negaverse.
He smiled gently at the look on the other’s face after the kiss, tempted to kiss him again for being cute. Terry held off on it though as Seung started to talk and he felt a warmth in his chest at the other’s words. When the other man moved away into his room he followed, closing the door behind him out of habit, and looked at all Seung had brought with him. “I love it.” He said and gave another smile then leaned over and kissed him again.

The cuddle had him wincing, as he had failed thus far to mention his own injury as well, the older knight had not been the only one to be injured in the fight - he had as well. He hadn’t told Terry, had wanted to hide it, he didn’t like to worry or upset the other as he knew would happen when Terry found out he was injured. Not that he didn’t appreciate the others care - he did. “Just...want to be helping more.” He answered figuring the other would understand that. He shouldn’t be so unable to help, so lacking...he had a useless weapon and no magic. It was all on what he himself could do and he was learning but not fast enough and he knew he couldn’t rush that. It was frustrating and upsetting. He didn’t like leaving it all on everyone else's shoulders, or mostly on everyone else's shoulders.
The pillow he had thankfully was held in front of him so it had cushioned the hug they’d shared and maybe the other wouldn’t realize he was injured, though common sense should dictate he likely did not walk away from the fight unscathed - damn it.
The second kiss had him smiling and forgetting his problems, his issues, and feeling a bit better about things though he was still tired. With everything laid out on the bed and the idea out there for the other to know now he went to open the others window, let some cool air into the room, before he settled onto the others bed gently. Something which was due mostly in part to being injured but could be attributed to being tired as he was again yawning and hugging his pillow he pressed his face into it in order to hide part of his yawn. Yawn done he set his pillow down onto the bed beside himself. The half of the rock he had was picked up and held up and out in offering to the other.

Terry felt more then saw the wince Seung made during the hug, making him frown briefly and start to suspect that the other might not have come out completely unscathed. He didn’t voice his suspicion though just yet and instead decided to both watch Seung for a bit to make sure he was alright and it wasn’t just a bruise or something he had pressed and to wait and see if the other would admit to being hurt. “I understand.” He said and he meant it. While at Page he had at least had a useful weapon, he had a few times felt out of his depth and in need of magic like when he had ended up fighting that one Captain. “You’ll get there.” He promised even though he couldn’t know for sure.
When Seung pulled away to open the window, Terry watched him for a moment then moved to the shelves that held his half of the stone from Caedus. Once it was in hand he turned to see the other on his bed and giving a yawn, which triggered a yawn of his own even as he walked over to sit on the bed as well. When he was sitting he smiled back and took the half offered to him and offered his own to Seung, guessing that the other planned for them to make each other’s necklaces.

“I hope soon...want to help more - protect you and others.” Protect those he cared about, those who were powered and those who weren’t. He had a family here who were just as new to the country as him...and perhaps more innocent in some ways. They were unaware of what went on in this city and he wished to keep it that way but there was no telling if they would forever remain untouched by this war. He’d like to have the ability to protect them if they ever were confronted by this war, as it seemed this city was rather unsafe at night and his cousin liked to wander at night and his father and mother worked late hours at times. He had something to fight for - something precious and important to him.
Taking Terry’s half of the stone he cradled it to his chest for a moment, smiling at the other. Yes, the plan was to make a necklace for the other, a surprise of sorts...something which had meaning as it was made by the other. “After this want to stay here and rest.” he planned to spend the night but after this he wanted a rest before anything else like dinner, or anything else which they could do, like games or tv or a movie - anything. He had been resting far too much lately and he rather disliked it and he did try and fight against it but failed….and hated it.

Terry nodded and couldn’t help hoping that the other got to Squire soon as well. Not for his own sake but so Seung would feel better and be safer himself. But he truly could think of no way to help the other do this as he understood it was just something that tended to happen at random to each individual with no specific timing on anyone’s part. “Soon it will happen, I’m sure.” He said more to hopefully make Seung feel a bit better than with any real knowing.
He then looked from Seung’s half to Seung himself and gave a return smile. He was looking forward to making the necklace for the other, to make something that was already precious more so for Seung. Terry then ended up nodding in agreement to the other’s plan. “Agreed, that sounds lovely.” He said and it really did even though he had been trying so hard not to give into naps.
