It had been a good few weeks since the mess with the greater youma and the general at the power plant. A good few weeks since he had almost died thanks to the effort of the greater youma and the snake youma. When they returned home from getting patched up it was to worried parents and to a grounding that lasted four days in order for all three of them to heal up. Terry was grateful that Seung and Matt had fared better than him as neither one of them had any bones broken or their soul stolen.

By now though thanks to the faster healing that Knight’s naturally had he was feeling much better as his ribs were if not fully healed then at least almost were. It was enough that he had convinced his Mom enough to not worry if he and Venice went out on a short patrol, with the promise to call for backup if any actual trouble happened. His parents knowing about the war was certainly a help in explaining any injuries but it made it so much harder to keep their worries down to a minimum, especially since that was twice now he had been beaten up since they found out.

Either way though it was time to stretch his legs so to speak and get powered up, something he had been holding off from doing out of respect. Once they were away from the house, Terry gave Seung a smile and a kiss to the other man’s cheek. “Ready?” He asked his fiance before summoning his weapon, getting ready to power up, however he paused for a moment when he saw the oar was different this time such as being fully made of metal and now had purple on it. “The last time my weapon changed was...” He trailed off with realization then powered up to discover he had been right in his train of thought. No longer a Squire, now a full Knight.

The grounding had been expected, he knew it was going to happen when they came home injured, and as much as he didn’t like it he did accept it. He knew though it wouldn’t make a difference, it wouldn’t stop them from returning from some fights hurt. But he also knew his soon to be in-laws were worried for them, a downside to them knowing the truth.

The downtime though boring was also good for them, it was time to recover and heal up. Classes were still a thing but no patrols and no time at the gym or anywhere else - they were grounded. He’d never been grounded so to be grounded was still a new, and odd, concept for Seung especially since he was an adult and it seemed like something you did with a child...up till a certain age and then just - stopped.

Thankfully though the time was up and with permission he and Terry were going out on their own for a patrol. At least they didn’t have to come up with lies and excuses for where they were going, why they’d be out a while, or any injuries they may come home with. It was the up side to the others parents knowing the truth. And as he summoned his weapon he took note of Terry’s being different.

Oh! He had his answer as to why a moment later when Terry powered up - a knight. The other was a knight. “Congratulations.” And he did mean it, how could he not? He was proud of the other, and happy. He was also perhaps a tough...upset he’d yet to power up but good things came with time - right?

“Time to patrol.” And it was,, he felt a bit safer knowing the other was stronger...and that uniform was nice also. Reaching out Seung let his fingers run through the others hair before pulling him in for a quick brush of lips, gentle and brief. “Looks good - very nice.”


Erebus looked over to his fiance when he spoke up and gave a grin, excited for the change even if a part of him wished Seung would power up as well. He supposed it was hard to figure out what exactly triggered the jump in power and Seung just hadn’t found his yet. “Thank you, this cape is certainly going to take some getting used to though as well as the new weight of my oar.” It was a good thing they were just going on patrol just for that alone he supposed.

Any thoughts he had on if the cape would end up getting in the way was dashed when Seung pulled him into the kiss and with a pleased hum he kissed back. “Glad you think so.” He said with a fond look after the kiss ended. “Shall we then?” The Knight asked, glancing at the rooftops then back to his partner in everything. They had already figured out a route before they left so he didn’t need to ask where they should start.

“Will take time but time out will help.” Time out patrolling and putting the ore to use as well. He’d get used to it, likely in little time given how this city never seemed peaceful for long. That paddle could certainly come in handy now, not that it didn’t before hand, but it would do more damage if he smacked someone with it. It would help Erebus keep safer and hopefully aid him in a fight more now, for when he couldn’t use his magic any longer.

“Hmm, should yes.” Nodding his head once, trailing a hand down the others side he couldn’t help grasping at the others hip and giving a squeeze. That was one part of the other he found attractive, not the most attractive but high up there - his hips and waist. It was, if you asked Seung, similar to a female's somehow...and it was attractive to the older knight. “Maybe find a youma so you can practice.”


Time out would certainly be the best thing to get used to any new changes that came with the power up and he couldn’t help but look forward to it. Though he wasn’t looking forward to the practical part of putting it all into use if said next time happened like the past two battles he had been in. Speaking of past battle though, it meant he finally stood a better chance against any General’s at least even if they would most likely still have experience on him.

He shook those thoughts out of his head just in time for Seung’s touch and he gave the older man a look that was a mix of knowing, amusement, and flirty. It was always fun teasing his fiance with his hips ever since he had found out Seung’s weakness for them. Speaking of, he should really wear those pants again. A thought for later anyway, the patrol wasn’t meant to be that long so there was plenty of time later for other activities. “So long as it’s not a greater youma, I am perfectly fine with that plan.”

“Considering only time we saw one, aside from time down there.” Referring to last years incident. “Don’t think we will see one.” Maybe a normal youma or two or some lieutenant which they could handle. While it would be beating on someone who was outnumbered and perhaps unfair...he didn’t give it too much thought. The Negaverse would have no issue in doing it to any of them.

One last squeeze and he was moving to start their patrol. It had been a surprise when he’d figured taken notice of his fiance's hips but it had been a pleasant one, or rather it had become pleasant. He’d also found out that Terry liked him in school uniforms, like the one from when he’d gone to high school...which was snug on him but fit. He hadn’t expected to find out the other had a thing for school uniforms, which had led him to secretly purchasing one that would fit him better. He just hadn’t shown the other yet, it was hidden away in their closet.

“Come on, time to patrol.”
